Everything you need to know to equip the Deathwatch Armor in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2.
Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 drops you into the shoes of the Space Marines, the defenders of the Imperium of Man. Space Marines are recognized for their iconic power armor. As you might guess there are a variety of armor pieces you can equip.
Space Marine 2’s Campaign starts out with Titus, the protagonist of the game, in his Deathwatch armor, before being reassigned back to the Ultramarines and equipping new gear.
However, in Operations and Eternal War, you can customize your Space Marine’s power armor and match them with the many Chapters of Space Marine.
The Imperium has many different Chapters of Space Marines, each with their own unique Armor sets.
The Deathwatch are comprised of Kill-teams formed from the Veteran Space Marines of other Chapters that serve as the Chamber Militant of the alien-hunting Ordo Xenos of the Imperial Inquisition.
In this article, we’ll look at how you can equip your Space Marine with the Armor of the Deathwatch.

How to Get Deathwatch Armor
The Deathwatch Armor is a set made from Unknown Founding armor set pieces in the Astartes Heraldry. You can find it in 4 Chapters in the Unknown Foundings Category. Below is the list of the four Chapters you’ll need to fully unlock to get a Deathwatch Armor piece:
| Part | Chapter | Required Armory Data |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Carcharodons | 280 |
| Left Pauldron | Omega Marines | 200 |
| Left Gauntlet | Red Scorpions | 200 |
| Left Greave | Storm Giants | 200 |
Furthermore, they are the last item in each chapter’s line of cosmetics. So, you’ll need to unlock all the cosmetics from the specific chapters before unlocking the Deathwatch Armor part as the last available cosmetic.
As such, you’ll need a lot of armory data before you can fully unlock the Deathwatch Armor.
You might also notice that there isn’t a Deathwatch Right Pauldron, this is because the Right Pauldron preserves the symbol and colour of the Deathwatch Marine’s origin Chapter.
Moreover, unlike other Armor, the Deathwatch Armor does not have preset colours. However, the Deathwatch Armor is traditionally colored black. You can use the Nuln Oil colour of the Omega Marines to achieve this look.
Furthermore, the traditional colour scheme of the Deathwatch has the Left Pauldron and Left Gauntlet in silver.
How to Get Armory Data
You can get Armory Data by completing Operations or a match of Eternal War (PvP). The amount of Armory Data you get from Operations depends on the difficulty of the Operation. Furthermore, you’ll be using a lot of Armory Data to upgrade your Classes and Weapons. As the Deathwatch Armor requires a lot of Armory Data to unlock, it is not something you can get early in the game.
So, you’ll need to spend a lot of time playing Operations and Eternal War.
