Space Marine 2: How To Restore & Increase Armor Class

Space Marine 2: How To Restore & Increase Armor Class

As a seasoned Space Marine veteran with countless battles under my belt, I can confidently say that the armor system in Space Marine 2 is a game-changer! The balance between health and armor adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay, making every skirmish feel intense and engaging.


Regardless of the game mode you choose in Space Marine 2, you’ll need to manage both your armor and health to survive. You’ll encounter various dangers threatening the Imperium, and sustaining damage is inevitable. However, your armor serves as a shield, taking the brunt of incoming attacks.

Beneath your health indicator, there are several gray bars symbolizing your protective armor. Damage can only be inflicted on your real health once these armor bars have been depleted. Your armor regenerates on its own during non-combat periods, but here’s how to boost it and increase your maximum armor during fights:

How To Restore Armor In Space Marine 2

In the game modes “Operations” and “Eternal War,” the toughness or defensive ability of your character, known as the armor class, depends on the character class you’ve chosen. Typically, many classes possess an armor class of 3, but a couple have an armor class of 2. The number associated with your armor class represents the number of protective shields displayed beneath your health meter. Players can find several methods to replenish their armor in the game.

Outside Of Combat In the brief sections during missions when all nearby enemies have been killed, your armor will regenerate to full, simply running away from enemies doesn’t work if they are still chasing you.
Perform Executions Executions can be done on most NPC enemies and restore roughly a full bar’s worth of armor. Performing an execution also makes you invincible during the animation, helping you avoid incoming damage while regenerating armor.
Bulwark Chapter Banner The Bulwark’s special ability is Chapter Banner, which gives a small aura that regenerates armor for all nearby allies. The Banner is temporary and has a long cooldown but is highly effective during combat.

How Is Armor Different In PVP

In Player versus Player (PVP) situations, the rate at which your armor recovers significantly increases, with the speed of recovery dependent on how close you are to other opponents. Engaging in combat is defined by receiving damage, and if you manage to dodge incoming attacks for a short while, your armor will begin healing itself. Notably, melee attacks in PVP can penetrate any armor, making melee combat particularly potent against all character classes.

In each class, the armor class is fixed, but players can momentarily enhance their maximum armor during missions. Occasionally, breaking boxes may result in an Armor Enhancement drop, which can be collected and instantly added to your armor level. This item provides an additional shield level, with a maximum of one active boost at any given time. This temporary shield cannot be restored, but it does offer some extra defense before engaging in challenging battles.
