Mission 1: The Atlantic Wall in Sniper Elite 5 contains 19 Collectible Locations. This walkthrough will guide you to all the Collectibles. Nothing is missable, everything can be collected via Mission Select. You can still grab missing Collectibles after completing all Main Objectives, before exfiltrating.
To check which Collectibles you still need, press Options-Button > Service Record > Collectibles > Select Mission. This guide uses the same order as the in-game collectible menu order. The best approach is to clear all enemies from the map first, grab what you find along the way, then collect your missing items after. Sometimes Collectibles bug out and don’t spawn, but restarting the mission fixes this. Collectibles are saved instantly upon picking them up. You can return to the title screen without having to reach the next checkpoint. If you die you don’t have to pick it up again. For other missions see Sniper Elite 5 Collectible Guide.

Irwynn says
This is all good, but in released version I have no #8 – Classified Document 2/4: Beach Defences in that safe. There is literally no documents inside. Where can I find it in released version?
Irwynn says
Ok, want to notice – when I open that safe using its code – there is no document inside. If I blow it up – it’s there. Looks like glitch.
PowerPyx says
Friend of mine also had that glitch, restarting the mission helped. Perhaps that one is particularly glitchy.
Ragemoody says
Yup. Happened to me as well but after blowing it up.
Steve says
I used code 2/4 wasn’t in safe, reloaded blow it up 2/4 was there
Andy says
I have the issue with classified documents. I also have an issue with the stone eagles not counting when I tag them with R3.
GHFB says
You shot them though right?
Ems says
I am having an issue with the classified doc in the safe. Didn’t blow the safe up but it’s not there. This game is very glitch. I’ve had a few issues with it.
Hoof Hearted says
I found a mystery building shown on ‘The Atlantic Wall’ map that actually isn’t there when one reaches its location. It’s shown just to the south east of the big gun enplacement, due south of the building with the stacked shells, almost on the corner of the map where the map boundary turns south towards the town. You can scrabble around in the bushes looking for it, but you won’t find any evidence of it. No biggie, but I thought you all might find it interesting.
