Requisición frente a datos de armería en Space Marine 2: guía de monedas

Requisition Points and Armoury Data are the two currencies that run the entire progression economy in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and the single fact most players miss is that Requisition has a hard cap — anything earned past it just disappears. This guide breaks down what each moneda actually pays for, where the real early-game scarcity is, and the spending order that runs backwards from what most new players assume.

Requisition Points are the general-purpose currency you earn from almost everything you do. Requisition Points are rewarded through playing PvE or PvP, or by completing Class Trail challenges in the Armoury, and are used to unlock new versions of weapons, class perks, or Heraldry armour customization. Armoury Data is narrower and more restrictive: it comes in three rarities – Master-Crafted, Artificer, and Relic – each corresponding with the different weapon rarity tiers in Space Marine 2, and you’ll want as many of each type as possible to unlock new weapon versions and upgrade your armaments, helping you battle Tyranids and Chaos at the highest difficulty levels. Two more currencies sit next to them and are easy to confuse with Requisition: Accolades, earned from weekly Stratagems and Siege targets (and, since Patch 14, from weekly Eternal War participation), which buy Heroic weapons and Heroic armour pieces; and Research Data, earned from Datavault Ordeals, which buys Datavault cosmetics. Both are covered below. One more thing the currency screen does not tell you: Operations, Stratagems and Siege all pay into the same PvE pool — class XP, weapon XP, Requisition and Armoury Data are shared across the three, while Eternal War keeps its own progress.

That Requisition figure matters more than it looks. The amount of points you can store is limited to a maximum of 2000 Requisition Points — with Patch 6.0, the cap was raised from 990 to 2000. A community currency-cap breakdown circulated as of Patch 12.1 confirmed Requisition hard caps at 2,000 pts, and a feature-request thread from more recently still references the same ceiling, asking developers to remove the max capacity of requisition points from 2000 and armoury data from 20 each — so as of the current patch cycle (this piece is written against Patch 14), both numbers appear to still be live, though caps in this game have moved before and could move again.

Requisition is the easier of the two to earn because nearly every activity pays it out. Completing an Operation, a Stratagem or a Siege run, winning or losing an Eternal War match, and clearing a Class Trial all contribute, though the amount scales with difficulty and mode; timed events add lump sums (the late-August Chaos event paid 150 Requisition and 100 Accolades for three Chaos PvE missions). Armoury Data is gated harder: it comes from PvE only — Operations drops (Servo-Skulls, Terminus bosses) whose rarity follows the Threat Level you play at, Class Trials (one Master-Crafted chip per Trial at the required rating) and, by community reports, Siege wave milestones — which is exactly why high-rarity Armoury Data is a late-game currency whether you like it or not.

Requisition Points can be earned and farmed from the Eternal War PVP multiplayer modes, and playing this mode can be faster compared to Operations since you still earn Requisition Points even when losing, with a match usually lasting several minutes. Class Trials are a one-off boost rather than a farm: these are fixed rewards you cannot earn again, and Requisition is awarded once for completing the objective at ranks B or C, with rank A rewarding a Master-Crafted Armoury Point. If you want the full breakdown of which Operations difficulties drop which Armoury Data rarity and how to route a Ruthless run without dying, the Armoury Data farming guide covers that ground in more depth than this piece needs to repeat.

Because Requisition is the currency most new players actually run short of, the methods below are ranked by how quickly they refill it rather than by total output, since output past the cap is meaningless anyway.

Players can choose to farm Requisition Points fast by speedrunning Operations missions on Ruthless Threat Level, though that assumes a build that can actually clear Ruthless without wiping, which most fresh accounts can’t yet.

High-Rarity Armoury Data Is Useless at Launch

A gold Relic-tier Armoury Data chip looks like the best currency in the game, but it does nothing for a new account: it just sits unused until your loadout and skill can actually survive the mission tier that makes use of it. Which difficulty drops which rarity is in the Armoury Data farming guide.

Requisition and Armoury Data Are Not Interchangeable

There’s technically a conversion path, but it’s one-directional and lossy. A Master-Crafted Armoury Data will get you 40 Requisition, an Artificer is worth 60, and a Relic is worth 90 (figures reported by outlet coverage rather than an official patch note, so treat the exact numbers as approximate and confirm in-game before relying on them). That’s a poor trade compared to what the same chip does spent on its intended weapon tier, which is why treating the two currencies as one pool is a mistake.

Myth: You Should Hoard Requisition Until You Need Something Big

The cap makes hoarding actively counterproductive. Sitting at or near 2,000 Requisition means every mission or match you complete after that point earns nothing extra, so spending down to make room for future income is the correct move, not saving up for a single big purchase.

Myth: Farming High-Difficulty Operations Early Saves Time

Rushing Ruthless missions for Relic-tier Armoury Data before your gear or weapon XP supports it usually means more failed extractions and fewer completed missions overall, which costs more time than just progressing through the difficulty ladder in order.
