You will frequently find yourself in the midst of chaotic battles with your squad mates in Space Marine 2, fighting off enemy swarms that threaten to overwhelm you, and elite enemies that can wipe off a big chunk of your health bar with their combos and movesets. Every advantage helps in the game, and the Gene Seed is one such item. However, it is not so easily found in the game, and players are still discovering locations to spot a Gene Seed in Space Marine 2. This guide gives you the full updated list for Gene Seed locations, and also what does it do in the game.
What Is The Gene Seed In Space Marine 2?
Gene Seeds are collectibles in Space Marine 2 that increase the XP gained at the end of the mission for all squad members. These are found in fixed spots during the Operations set of missions; however the spot within these fixed locations that they spawn varies during each run.
With a lot of weapon upgrades and perks tied to leveling up, every little bit of XP that you can extract during a mission helps, especially if it is just a matter of collecting it from a particular spawn location. You should definitely keep an eye out and ensure you get your hands on this item when playing in Operations mode.
The trade-off for the additional XP is sacrificing a Guardian Relic slot to accommodate the Gene Seed. Also, if you die before completing the mission, the Gene Seed also goes away, and you will need to get it once again during the next run.
