PS5
Space Marine 2 divides the platinum between campaign, Operations and Eternal War PvP. A full story playthrough does not automatically cover class, weapon and competitive-format objectives. Check online status before a session too: warnings about saving progress should not be ignored when planning a long Operations session. A practical route builds a reliable equipment core, collects and marks during the campaign, then handles the Ruthless requirement and competitive objectives separately from the final elimination count.
Base-game trophy roadmap. Expansions and additional trophy packs are not required for the platinum.
- Required difficulty: One Operations mission must be completed on Ruthless.
- Missable trophies: Missions can be replayed to recover collections and objectives.
- Online: The platinum includes Eternal War PvP; inspect saving warnings during offline sessions.
Collect data and mark enemies during the story
During the campaign, progress Data Mining and Purge Them All. Recognizing a target and marking it are different actions: include special enemies and bosses encountered. If an entry is missing afterward, a note identifying its mission is more useful than randomly repeating the whole story. Missions remain replayable, allowing targeted checks.
- Check collected data and marked enemy types.
Develop a class with compatible weapons
Strategic Specialty, Sharpest Edge and Strongest Shot track a class, melee weapon and ranged weapon separately. Choose a combination allowing simultaneous progress and inspect actual levels reached. Classes have different tools: do not expect a weapon category to advance through a setup that does not use it.
- Plan the class, melee weapon and ranged weapon together.
Prepare a qualifying Ruthless Operation
Valour Crest requires an Operations mission on Ruthless, not a full campaign at that setting. Choose a familiar mission and prepare abilities, weapons and coordination beforehand. Parries, resources and squad protection matter beyond raw damage: a team spreading out can lose an attempt despite developed equipment.
- Complete a qualifying Operations mission on Ruthless.
Rotate classes for their specific challenges
Tactical, Sniper, Heavy, Assault, Bulwark and Vanguard trophies have individual conditions. Read the required weapon, stance or ability before entering a mission. If progress is not increasing, inspect context rather than continuing generic kills: an ordinary elimination does not replace a required headshot, Ground Pound or Gun Strike.
- Match the session to the chosen class condition.
Distinguish matches played from class wins
Eternal War requires multiple match formats and wins with every class. After a win, record the class used; format trophies instead track their required matches. Merciless adds a kill-streak condition without dying: treat it as a separate tactical objective using teamwork and cover rather than confusing it with winning the match.
- Record played formats, winning classes and the deathless streak.
Leave the large kill count until last
Still a True Son of the Emperor tracks forty-one thousand enemies across qualifying modes. Before repeating a sequence solely for that number, finish other objectives already producing kills. At the beginning and end of sessions, inspect saved progress and game warnings: a long session in the wrong context may not advance the profile you intend to complete.
- Inspect the counter after other objectives before grinding.
Trophies to watch
Valour Crest
Complete any Mission in Operations mode on Ruthless Threat Level
Prepare a familiar Operation and coordinated squad; the requirement is Ruthless in Operations, not campaign difficulty.
Tactical Genius
Win a match in Eternal War mode with every Class
Record an Eternal War win with every class instead of treating total wins as proof of completion.
Still a True Son of the Emperor
Kill 41,000 Enemies (all game modes combined)
Leave kill-count cleanup until after other objectives and regularly check that eliminations are saved.
Frequently asked questions
Must I finish the campaign on Ruthless?
Valour Crest concerns an Operations mission. The campaign and this difficulty condition are distinct route components.
Is using one class enough for everything?
No. Beyond developing a class and weapons, the list contains multiple class-specific objectives and PvP wins with every class.
Should I immediately grind forty-one thousand kills?
First finish campaign, collections, Operations and PvP: many kills arrive through those objectives already. Inspect the remaining count afterward.
