Act 1 – 13 Collectibles

Act 1 contains 13 collectibles across Emergence, Survival of the Fittest, A Gear in Need and Back in the Fold. The opening Act is fairly linear, but several pickups sit in side rooms or just outside the direction the objective naturally pulls you.

# Chapter Collectible How to Find It
1 Chapter 1: Emergence Monster Jaw After the first Wretch encounter and the short scene that follows, you regain control back on the street. Before moving deeper into the city, look down beside the newspaper kiosk/newsstand on the right-hand side. The Monster Jaw is on the ground there.
2 Chapter 1: Emergence Bloody Transit Worker's Helmet Continue through the maintenance tunnels until you pass the first Emergence Hole and reach the next corridor. Watch the left-hand side for a small side room/opening with a fallen transit worker and a flashlight. Enter the room and search beside the body for the helmet before continuing through the tunnel.
3 Chapter 1: Emergence Front Page of the Kalona Times After Marcus helps the civilians trapped beneath the rubble, return to the street and enter the Café & Bakery instead of following the objective straight on. Go through the door beside/behind the counter into the back kitchen and search the counter area for the newspaper.
4 Chapter 2: Survival of the Fittest KPD Police Bulletin Once you enter the Kalona Police Department, stop in the first large office/bullpen rather than pushing deeper into the station. Search the left side of the room, toward the back-left desks/tables, for the Police Bulletin.
5 Chapter 2: Survival of the Fittest Bloodied Police Chief's Badge Progress through the police station and the shooting-range section until you reach the room containing the Police Chief impaled against the wall by a large metal spike. Before leaving the room, search beside the Chief's body and around his feet for the bloodied badge.
6 Chapter 2: Survival of the Fittest Army Recruitment Pamphlet Inside the COG Armed Forces Recruitment Center, go to the reception area and walk behind the desk positioned against the back wall beneath the COG plaques. The pamphlet is sitting behind the reception desk, so collect it before leaving the lobby.
7 Chapter 2: Survival of the Fittest Try On Pilot Helmet Stay inside the same recruitment-center lobby after collecting the Army Recruitment Pamphlet. Look to the right of the reception desk at the row of display helmets and interact with the pilot helmet there. Grab both recruitment-center collectibles before moving on.
8 Chapter 3: A Gear in Need Tomatoes, Canned Enter the Pay-n-Save warehouse/supermarket back area while following the route toward the Gear who needs help. Move through the first room and into the second warehouse room, then veer left of the central storage shelves. The canned tomatoes are in a cardboard tray on the floor near a body.
9 Chapter 3: A Gear in Need Broken Lancer Bayonet Continue through the supermarket until the scene involving Tai and the chainsaw finishes. When you regain control, do not leave the supermarket immediately. Inspect the dead Locust/body close to Marcus — near the produce/store-sign area — and collect the broken Lancer bayonet from the body.
10 Chapter 4: Back in the Fold Front Page of the Tyran Chronicle At the beginning of the chapter, follow the road until you reach the large Bar & Lounge / white 'Lounge' sign. Before continuing with the squad, check the right-hand alcove/alley beside the sign and search the doorstep/end of that short side route for the newspaper.
11 Chapter 4: Back in the Fold Anti-UIR Propaganda Poster As you approach the clinic, do not head straight inside. Go down the nearby steps and take the route to the right, following the side of the street toward the graffiti-covered wall. The propaganda poster is fixed over the graffiti; check the wall before turning back toward the clinic.
12 Chapter 4: Back in the Fold Landa Memorial Medical Supplies Memo Enter Landa Memorial and search the reception/office area before opening the doors that take you back outside. The memo is on one of the tables/desks on the right-hand side of the room near the exit route.
13 Chapter 4: Back in the Fold COG Tags of Private Brick Rosso After fighting your way out of the clinic, follow the route toward Echo Park. Just before the park entrance, stop at the blue police car on the left. Walk around the vehicle and search beside the fallen COG soldier for Brick Rosso's tags before entering the park.

Before leaving Act 1, the War Journal should show 13/13. If you are short, recheck the Police Department/recruitment-center rooms and the clinic route first.

Act 2 – 38 Collectibles

Act 2 contains 38 collectibles, including 27 in Hold the Line alone. That chapter is one of the largest open collectible sweeps in the Campaign, so clear nearby interiors, alleys, shops and optional areas before following the main objective out of the district.

Act 3 – 36 Collectibles

Act 3 contains 36 collectibles. Last Foothold is the main cleanup chapter, with several pickups tied to optional routes and Secondary Objectives.

Important: Commander's Letter Home counts toward Act 3 even though you physically collect it immediately after Act 4 begins. If the War Journal appears one short after Desperate Measures, continue into Act 4 before replaying anything.

# Chapter Collectible How to Find It
1 Chapter 1: Stranded COG Army Knife After reaching the first badly mauled body beyond the small campsite, do not immediately follow the story route downhill. Continue into the trees and search around the base of the nearby trees for the knife. Grab it before dropping to the lower route because you cannot simply climb back up.
2 Chapter 1: Stranded Fairlight Rifle Range Sign After vaulting the tall fence into the military vehicle/training area, sweep the perimeter beside the tank and inner fencing. The rifle-range warning sign is mounted along the edge of the compound rather than on the main path.

# Chapter Collectible How to Find It

Act 5 – 12 Collectibles

Act 5 contains 12 collectibles. It is more linear than the middle of the Campaign, but the faster story pacing makes a few pickups easy to walk past.

Spoiler warning: the final two collectibles in The Fall of Kalona are awarded through endgame events, so their names and directions reveal how the final chapter handles those rewards.
