Quantum Break: How to Get All Collectibles in Act 2

Act 2

Part 1: Industrial Area Collectibles

After escaping from Monarch custody, it’s time to hunt for Paul Serene. While you’re at it, you may want to go and grab all 17 collectibles littering the area. This part of Quantum Break introduces you to Chronon Sources (think skill points). So you’ll definitely want to grab those at the very least. You’ll also be introduced to Intel, collecting sets of these unlock diaries that you can listen to.

There are seven Chronon Sources, four computers, two documents, two media, one Intel, and one Ripple.

1. Chronon Source – As soon as you start this level do not climb up and proceed. Instead move down the room away from both Liam and Beth and trigger your Time Vision. This will make the first Chronon Source in the game appear. Use it to upgrade something to get the Chronon Surge achievement.
2. Chronon Source – This is found in the room that has the traversal challenge with the falling beams. After dropping the beams, don’t try and climb them. Instead, run to the far end of the room and use Time Vision to display another Chronon Source.
3. Ground Zero Map – After collecting the source in the last room, climb up and enter the next room.  Near the exit to the room is a map on the wall that serves as your next collectible.
4. University Fallout – On the table in front of all the screens in the same room you’ll see a laptop. Interact with it.
5. Gala Invite Ripple – The last collectible also triggers this Quantum Ripple for you, so two birds with one stone.
6. Monarch’s Witness Kill List/Monarch PR Campaign – In the same room, on the wall to your left right when you first enter is a poster board. Depending on if you choose Hardline or PR, you will find the Kill list or Campaign respectiviely.
7. Chronon Source – Once you clear out the next room, take the elevator up after Beth speaks to you. Continue on as you normally would but make sure to collect the Chronon Source right before making the turn at the first steel beam.
8. RE: Ground Zero Operation – As you continue on, you’ll come across a room where guards are dealing with hostages from the university. Kill the two guards, hop into the window and access the laptop to your left.
9. Eye Drop Bottle – In the same room, near the exit, you’ll find Martin Hatch’s eyedrops on top of a crate (if you haven’t found any other pieces of Intel, you’ll unlock the A Link To The Future achievement).
10. Chronon Source – After you clear the gate problem (just slow it down with Time Stop and you can breeze on by), head to your left and run all the way down. Climb the blue container and jump over the fence to collect this source (remember to use your Time Vision).
11. Chronon Source – Return to the gate where you entered and climb the train directly across from it. You’re going to head to the roof of the building that had the switch to the gate. Drop into the hole on the roof and collect your next source.
12. Chronon Source – The next one is on the billboard that you can jump on from the same train that led you onto the roof. Simply climb up and head to the left.
13. RE: Jack Joyce – You’re done with the trainyard now so head into the window that Amy/Nick directs you to. Drop down and before you open the door for the NPC, use the laptop.
14. Internal Monarch Comms – On the opposite end of the room is a radio. Interact with that for the next collectible.
15. Chronon Source – When you exit the room with the last couple of collectibles, you’ll find yourself in an alleyway leading to a door that is very close by. Before going into that door, hop onto the awning over it. There is a source over your head.
16. FWD: Monarch Concerns – This collectible can only be collected after clearing the room directly after the last Chronon Source. After defeating the first wave of enemies, you’ll be directed to a gate where you’ll have to rewind time to open it. Once inside, access the laptop near the surveillance screens.
17. Internal Monarch Comms 2 – If you’re facing the laptop you just accessed, there will be a radio to your left.

Part 2: Ground Zero Collectbles

Ground Zero has a staggering 22 collectibles for players to locate. After getting through the Industrial Area, you’ll find yourself dealing with Monarch Facilities. There’s a lot ahead, so let’s get started.

1. Sofia Amaral’s Chronon Presentation – As soon as Part 2 begins you’ll find yourself on the upper level of a huge room. Go to your left, towards the TV, and interact to get your first collectible. Afterwards, clear the room.
2. Chronon tech Phase 2 milestones – Downstairs is a time machine core. Walk straight past it to find a laptop sitting on a table.

2. Chronon source – Go back to where you came from and jump off the opposite end of the scaffolding to head into a hole on the side of the building. You can go inside after grabbing this.

4. Riverport Discreet Moving Services Bill – To the right of the diary is a blue binder with your next collectible.

15. Chronon Source – Towards the back of this same area is another Chronon Source, the last in this part of Act 2.
16. A Civilian’s Guide to Time Travel – This one is very easy to miss. Go back to the large area, and head face the time machine. You’ll want to run along its left side all the way to the back where Will has another table set up. Here is where you’ll find your final collectible.

Junction 2 Personal/Business Collectibles

The second Junction of Quantum Break tasks players with choosing how to deal with Jack Joyce. He’s proving to be a thorn in Paul Serene and Monarch’s side, so something must be done. While this segment of the game is really short there is still something to add to your long list of collectibles.

• What happened to Dr. Henry Kim – As soon as Junction 2 begins turn completely around and head to your desk. Many players don’t think to look behind them when starting a level so this one’s easy to miss. Access your computer and you’re done with Act 2’s collectibles.
