These landmarks are synthesized from published gameplay guides. Names and locations can spoil an encounter. The first item is called Monster Jaw by ShowGamer and Gameswelt; DayOne calls it Monster Claw. The guides describe the same opening pickup.[1][3][4]

Find both recruitment-center items before leaving. The helmet and pamphlet sit in the same part of the building, so one pickup is a reminder to check for the other.

If your count is still short

Compare each chapter’s count first: 3 / 4 / 2 / 4. Then look for the missing name rather than repeating the whole act. The easiest paired check is the two recruitment-center items; another useful pause is immediately after the supermarket cinematic.

DayOne’s source includes gameplay screenshots for these locations. See Campaign Collectibles for Act 2–5 routes and the difference between a collectible, a Hard Case and a Supply Cache unlock.[3][5]
