Great guide. Thanks.

[Ghedea]

Definitely helpful!

[Fighterspledge]

Need a little clarification on Conveyor data cell 4. If possible, maybe a picture please?

[mksystem74]

Good guide, thanks.

One question those, what exactly are you talking about for Conveyor Data Cell #9? Missing one on that level and Im pretty sure its that one.

[Fighterspledge]

That one is way up on the pillars, you'll miss it if you're not looking straight up before you reach outside.

[Ghedea]

I'm also having a little trouble finding Data Cell #4 for the Conveyor section. I have a feeling I've missed it.

[I Lamborghini I]

how do you know what section your on?

[Fighterspledge]

If the description matches the one after the one I was looking for, I missed it.

[I Lamborghini I]

EDIT nevermind!

[I Lamborghini I]

have you not found the other 20 or something?

[A Satyr]

this guide has some wrong spots and im only in the conveyor... I didnt see anything in the room with 4 green shotgun guys, but before number 8 i found one my first playthrough its in the room just after the conveyor with a bunch of grunts and you have to dig down, its in the back behind some boxs...

p.s. got 11/11 for the mission

Dropship

"4) After the cutscene with some troops look to your left it will be up above. To get it raise the terrain near the wall on the left and jump up to get it."

This cutscene would be the one with the ship flying in and dropping your friends off, correct?

"5) Just to the right where you have to throw a spike grenade is a bunker up above, Jump up and its at the very end."


Now here's the question. Just after the cutscene, just a little in front of me was a Data Cell sitting on top of basically a broken wall. I had to raise the ground, get up to the wall and grab it.

Is that #4 or #5?

I could only find 1 Data Cell between the troops arriving and going underground into the tunnel. Help, anyone?

I doubt anyone will provide a picture but that would be amazing.

[A Satyr]

Your seeing 4, 5 is in the bunker wall by the hatch you have to rise, just jump on the broken part and look left on the inside

[I Lamborghini I]

Why were my posts deleted regarding getting stomp aug on act2 did it offend you or something or can you not take the harsh reality that this game isnt perfect gtfo yourself

[le b3nz0r]

Ah I hadn't seen the broken bit of the wall that you could climb up. I was looking at the wrong wall.

I'd just like to second what he said. Number 4 doesn't exist, 5 should be 4, 6 should be 5, 7 should be 6, and the one Satyr found should be 7.

edit:

Dreadnought Revealed

2) Up high on the left side of the Golden Gate Bridge, destroy the water tower, throw a spike grenade under the fallen water tower, then climb up to reach it.

3) As soon as you see the cutscene with the dreadnought the second time, with a green soldier shooting at you, turn left and its just ahead.

7) Head to the Extraction point, it's behind the extraction point building.

[A Satyr]

I got all 100 a few hours ago so if anyone needs extra guidance my memory will last about 12 hours before it gets dodgy... however im going to sleep in about 1 hour so thats the 12 gone right there... I'll try to guide if its needed

[PTPetisco]

I have a question. If I missed a Cell in a level, its possible later to start in that session? If we start a new campaign, we have to collect all again? I just miss the Cell nº16 and Im in a new level, and cannot came back...

What I need to do?

What I need to do?

You're able to go back and do mission select and your data cells will be saved (so the ones you got won't be there but the ones you missed will be available to be collected).

[le b3nz0r]

Also worth stating: you can start an entire new game and it still counts the ones you got in the previous play.

I had gotten to the end of level 2 and missed 2 data cells, and also felt like I'd rather play on Casual than the middle difficulty, so I started a new game on easy and when I went to get the 1st data cell in training, it was gone already. Status showed 14/100 (what I had).

Hope this helps someone.

And where is the secret area? By the time I knew I missed the area, I couldn't go back to find it. Please clarify to prevent someone else from making this mistake -_-

[craigj76]

Im missing one stupid cell. Its on the conveyor tunnels and i have the 1 that is so high up after you restart the conveyor. any help or an explanation of the 4 green guys room would be awesome

[A Satyr]

Theres is no cell in that room, did you get the one after 7 but before 8? behind some boxes before you dig down to get to the hydra room with #8.

[craigj76]

yeah sure did.

P.S. I think its the one after hydraball room. not seeing a pillar

P.S.S. that was the one. shouldnt be called a pillar should be a rafter

[le b3nz0r]

Satyr, would you shed some light on the "secret area" mentioned in my last post please?

[A Satyr]

The area just after where you get the ice gun, you see on your radar 2 enemys but that you cant see, use a spike to rise those flaps on the left and right, one is inside the other is up above and you have to ride the flap as the spike raises it high enough that you can jump into the slit window.

[A Satyr]

Edit wrong thread

[Gooseboxer]

Where is the 7th data cell. Only 6 are listed in the guide???

[Angel Fire 42]

Need a clarification on Genetic Beams. Between #3 and #4 - is the 4th one in the fourth room or on the way. Because going out of #3 there is no way to go left.

[android_odnetnin]

Dude, you rock too hard! Thanks for the guide!
