From customizing your Astartes' appearance to unlocking new weapon types, there’s no shortage of reasons to sink your teeth into the game’s myriad of multiplayer systems once the campaign is over.
One of the most important forms of early-game progression is Armoury Data, a currency you use to unlock stronger weapon variants in PvE Operations.

Slaying them will award your entire squad with one Armoury Data.If you need purple or orange Armoury Data, you need to play on a higher difficulty setting.

To help kickstart your Multiplayer progression, you can also earn green-rarity Armoury Data by completing Class Trials. These act as tutorials on how to play your chosen class. You can find them in the Armoury Hall of the Battle Barge.

You’ll need to earn XP with Standard-rarity weapons before you can purchase Master-Crafted gear. Once you play enough matches and earn enough mastery, you’ll be able to spend your Armoury Data to unlock the next tier of weapon unlocks. Once the tier is unlocked, you can purchase any weapon in that rarity group for Requisition Points, another currency you earn from Operations.
