The Surge Collectibles

If you have the “The Good, the Bad and the Augmented” DLC, you can use the Testing Chambers to fast travel between areas rather quickly. Whenever you encounter a Testing Chamber door in a new area, go inside to unlock it. Inside the Testing Chamber, you will see a row of doors all lined up that connect to each area of the game providing you with a sort of fast travel (you must have entered the Testing Chamber door in each area for the corresponding door to unlock inside).

Abandoned Production

Iron Maus Comic #1 / Issue #1 Hiding on the floor near the smelting machine in the far right corner of the poisoned area.

Shining Coin #1 Automatically dropped into your inventory after defeating the smelting machine.

Audio Log #1 / The Liberator – Arrest Warrent In the underground tunnels. From the Testing Chamber door, take a right and follow the tunnel straight down to a security door. Standing in front of the door is a message terminal with an audio log.

Central Production B

Audio Log #2 / Mallory Stark – Waiting for Help In the OPS.

Audio Log #3 / Mallory Start – The Nightmare Begins Exit the OPS and follow the path forward past an elevator and down to the right where the Firebug Boss was lowered into the floor. Take a right and on the floor next to a pile of canisters covered in white plastic is an audio log.

Iron Maus Comic #2 / Issue #45 Sitting on top of a container in the room with the vending machine cult. This room also connects to the R&D area. You have to jump from the pile of canisters to the container by holding and then pressing to jump.

Audio Log #4 / Mallory Start – Waiting in Vain At the foot of the bed near the shortcut back to the OPS. Walk across the pipe to the shortcut, and take a right and follow the red-lit corridor up to the audio log.

Audio Log #5 / F*** Ferguson! In a room in the Recycling area. The room has some mechanical parts laying around and a rocket thruster hanging from the ceiling.

Shining Coin #2 & #3 Just beyond the F*** Ferguson! audio log is a large open area with two smelting machines.

Audio Log #6 / Official Announcement: “Raging Drones” Head through the Toxic Waste Disposal corridor until you enter a room with an enemy hiding in the doorway. Behind the enemy is a message terminal with an audio log.

Audio Log #7 / Mallory Stark – Journey in the Dark Keep following the path after the previous collectible until you spot the signs leading you towards OPS and the Trains. Walk past these and up some stairs (a walker drone might attack you). Immediately turn around and look near the blue boxes for an audio log.

Resolve Biolabs

Shining Coin #4 To the right of the two large labs in the open area. There are some chairs and a stage nearby playing a video on loop. While facing the stage, look to your left and you should see a smelting machine in a poisoned area. (Liquidator & Elite Hazard armor negates poison damage).

Audio Log #8 / Autopsy Excerpt – Victim #7 Drop down the hole into the “sewer” near the Biolabs. Follow the path until you head down some metal stairs and turn around. The audio log is under a pipe.

Audio Log #9 / Concerning Ed… Carry on following the path from the above collectible until you enter a room with workstations. The audio log will be sitting on a desk.

Iron Maus Comic #3 / Issue #9 On the corner of a desk to the right of the Concerning Ed… audio log.

Central Production B, 2nd Visit

Audio Log #10 / Mallory Stark – Chaos Theory In the OPS on a message terminal. (missable: this audio log will despawn if you progress too far into the story without picking it up).

Shining Coin #5 Backtrack to the train that leads to Resolve Biolabs and head across the bridge towards the big metal door. You will have to use your drone to open it. Inside is the final smelting machine.

Audio Log #11 / Happy Birthday! Climb up the stairs in the Circulation Tower to the top until you reach a corridor with an audio log at the entrance.

Take an immediate right into a service tunnel and use an exo-lift to go down a level. Immediately turn right and take another ex0-lift. Eventually, you will drop into an unlit room with a message terminal.

Iron Maus Comic #4 / Issue #44 On a desk in lab 11 of the Restricted Projects area. To get there, head into lab 12 and follow the service tunnel to the left. Go up the exo-lift and follow the tunnels until you reach another exo-lift. When you emerge at the bottom, you will be in lab 11.

Audio Log #21 / Mallory Stark – Betrayed Shortly after the previous audio log, you will enter a service tunnel that will open up into a small room with an enemy inside. In the corner of this room—where you entered—is an audio log.

Iron Maus Comic #5 / Issue #103 As you progress further up the Executive Forum, you will come to a security barricade. Beyond this barricade is an office and on the back wall is a comic perching on a small ledge.

Audio Log #22 / Mallory Stark – Alone Return to the security barricade and hop the black railing in front of it. You will land in some white stones and there will be an audio log nearby.

Audio Log #27 / Dr. Lawrence Murphy, Log #8 After calling the OPS up to Floor 2, head to the left of the OPS and down some stairs. Progress through the next room until you pass through a poison-filled corridor towards an enemy. Next to the enemy is a drop; jump down. Keep going forward until you can turn right down some stairs that leads to an exo-lift. At the top of the exo-lift is an audio log.
