Find all Ballistic Engine Dataslates in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. This guide details the locations of Dataslate 01 and Dataslate 02 within the Operations mode mission.

This guide covers the locations of the two Dataslates within the Ballistic Engine Operation mission in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The mission features Tyranid hordes and environmental hazards like dust storms that reduce visibility during outdoor segments. There are no Chaos enemies or bosses, except for potential random spawns on higher difficulties.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Dataslate 01: Missing Servo-Hauler
    • Start in an outdoor area with dust storms.
  2. 2
    Proceed inside the "Militarum Depot" by using a terminal to open doors.
  3. 3
    Once inside, head right, then left, then right again to find the first Dataslate on a desk in the rightmost room.
  4. 4
    This Dataslate is near the beginning of the mission. The point of no return is after dropping down a ledge to an area where you must complete the objectives "Awaken the Machine Spirit" and "Await Completion of Transfer Protocols" during a holdout segment.
  5. 5
    Dataslate 02: War Preparation, Avarax
    • After completing the holdout segment in the depot, the objective becomes "Advance to the Train".
  6. 6
    Ride an elevator and fight your way out of the facility to another outdoor area with dust storms.
  7. 7
    Interact with a terminal to deploy and cross a bridge.
  8. 8
    Use another terminal to open doors and proceed to the control room overlooking the trainyard.
  9. 9
    In the control room, use a terminal to clear an obstruction for the Nova Cannon Warhead.
  10. 10
    Exit the control room and drop down two ledges to reach the trainyard.
  11. 11
    Follow the tracks to the left until you encounter rubble. Turn right and follow the rubble to find a tank.
  12. 12
    The second Dataslate is located on crates next to the tank.
  13. 13
    This Dataslate is near the end of the mission. To avoid missing it, do not drop down another ledge from the trainyard.
  14. 14
    After collecting the Dataslate, ride an elevator and complete another holdout segment to finish the mission.
Tips
  • The dust storms in outdoor segments can significantly reduce visibility, but the Dataslates are not located within these storm-affected areas.
  • Be mindful of ledges; dropping down often signifies a point of no return for certain collectibles or mission segments.
