Chapter 9: Dead on Arrival contains 16 Collectible Locations in Dead Space Remake. This walkthrough is updated for the PS5 Remake version and will guide you to all collectibles in Chapter 9: Dead on Arrival in chronological order. Everything that’s needed for trophies and 100% completion is included: Logs, Schematics, Weapons, Weapon Upgrades, Suit Upgrades, Nodes, Side Missions, Chapter-Specific Trophies, Marker Fragments.
Everything located on the USG Ishimura is unmissable until the Point of No Return at the end of Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions, except for a small number of action-dependent logs that only trigger when doing certain actions at specific story points. The guide will list everything when it first becomes available in an efficient order, but if you miss anything you can go through the Ishimura when you have full access in Chapter 11. Everything in Chapter 9: Dead On Arrival is missable, so be sure to collect everything during this chapter. Marker Fragments are only available in New Game+. You can still grab missing Collectibles in New Game Plus, all progress carries over.

I could not get Log 142 – Alien Boarders. When I entered the Briefing Room, the body and log were missing. I’d exit and come back and the body would be floating off to the side, but no log.
I tried re-installing the game, starting from a point before the chapter started, but no luck.
Same here. Everything was fine on my first run, but on my NG+ with update 1.03, there was no corpses and no log 142 in the room.
I don’t see the node in the munitions team locker room mentioned — did you miss that one?
It’s right after leaving the infirmary, instead of going left to the cargo bay, you go right and there’s a stack of duffle bags stacked on one of the electrified damaged plates; if you move all these with kinesis, you can time running over the plate to get into the munitions team locker room.
