Players will be tried and tested through every encounter, with violent and unrelenting enemies and limited ammunition across ammo caches. Players will have to work together, communicating and remaining as a solid unit of death if they want to regain armor and enhance their potential for survival.

How to Get the Survivor’s Helm in Space Marine 2
The Survivor’s Helm will be the ultimate flex on other Ultramarines due to its difficulty to obtain. The helmet itself is the same across all classes and features the default helmet shattered and war-torn. Once players are brave enough to venture into Lethal Difficulty, they will need to complete the following Operations within Lethal Difficulty:
- Inferno
- Ballistic Engine
- Decapitation
- Vox Liberatis
- Reliquary
- Fall of Atreus
- Termination
This essentially means that in order to unlock the Survivor’s Helm in Space Marine 2, players must complete all 7 Operations on Lethal Difficulty. It’s not going to be an easy challenge, as the Lethal Difficulty holds many dangers ahead, but with the right Ultramarine and with faith in the Emperor, players will see it through.
