As a big fan of Directive 8020, I’ve been hunting down all the collectibles, and there’s a set called the Simms Recordings that are really hidden! They’re spread throughout the different episodes and areas, and while it’s good to know you can always replay levels to find them, they definitely make you explore every nook and cranny. They aren’t easy to stumble upon!
This guide helps you find 10 hidden collectibles from Simms Recording in Directive 8020. It shows exactly where to find them, broken down by episode, checkpoint, and room.
