Players can expect new cosmetics to grace their armory hall once they have completed a set of objectives on Lethal difficulty, but it might benefit players to actually know what exactly Lethal Difficulty in Space Marine 2 is, to best prepare for a relentless onslaught of enemies.

Space Marine 2's Lethal Difficulty, Explained

  • Recommended Level: 25
  • Enemies are merciless
  • Your first incapacitation inflicts a Mortal Wound
  • Killing Majoris-level or higher enemies reduces Squad Members' respawn time
  • Finishers will not regenerate Armor when you are far from your Squad
  • Ammo caches are limited for each Squad Member

Space Marine 2's Lethal Difficulty provides the harshest challenge set on players yet, with immense difficulty awaiting those brave enough to embark on familiar Operations. 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. Completing an Operation on Lethal is its own reward, but players can earn a few more goodies per victory:

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.
