Before You Start – Essential Gadgets
Two gadgets are required for 100% completion and both unlock automatically through the story. The Q-Watch arrives in Chapter 4 and highlights collectibles in yellow via L1/LB. The Laser Strap arrives in Chapter 9 and is needed to break locked cabinets, fish tanks, padlocks, and vents blocking several collectibles in Chapters 10 through 17. Always have the Laser Strap equipped from Chapter 9 onward. The Dart Phone from Chapter 5 is not strictly required for collectibles but makes NPC distractions and pickpockets much easier. Check the full gadgets list if you want to know exactly what each tool does, and the best gadget loadout guide for a recommended setup.

Tips for 100% Collectible Completion
The most efficient approach is to play through the story normally while grabbing collectibles as you go, then use Chapter Select to mop up anything missed afterward. Since collectibles save the instant you pick them up, there is no need to replay entire missions – just jump to the specific checkpoint, grab the item, and quit.
Always have the Laser Strap equipped in your loadout from Chapter 9 onward. Several cards and intel files sit behind padlocks, locked cabinets, and welded vents that only the Laser can open. If you launch a Chapter Select run and notice your gadgets have been reset, re-equip it before setting off.
Use the Touchpad collectible tracker to check your totals per type rather than per chapter. If a trophy does not unlock after grabbing your last item of a type, head to the collectible display wall in TacSim HQ. Multiple players have reported the trophy triggering there rather than in the field.
For a full overview of all TacSim challenges that also involve collectibles displayed in your hub, the all TacSim challenges guide is worth reading alongside this one. And if you are chasing the full platinum, the trophy and achievement guide lists all 37 trophies with unlock conditions.
