Space Marine 2 Gene Seeds explained
A Gene Seed is an item in Space Marine 2 that can be recovered during any Operations missions to grant just under 30% extra XP to all playersin your squad, but only if the Gene Seed carrier makes it out alive. UnlikeSpace Marine 2 Armory Data, a Gene Seed is not given to all players when collected, instead sitting in the inventory of only the player that picks it up, andif that player is incapacitated or killed, the Gene Seed is lostand no bonus XP is awarded.

To make matters worse, the Gene Seed also occupies the same slot as a Guardian Relic, which means the player that collects it also loses the ability to hold a Guardian Relic for a free self-revive. The other players must therefore protect the Gene Seed carrier with their lives, ensuring they aren’t downed at any point. It might also be a good idea to ensure the Gene Seed carrier is one of the more defensiveSpace Marine 2 classes, such as the Bulwark.
As far as I can tell, only one Space Marine 2 Gene Seed spawns per mission and it’ll spawn in one of several set spots. There are no easy ways to find the Gene Seed aside from through searching and simply learning all the possible spawn locations for each mission, though there are a lot.
