Alan Wake 2 goes beyond Remedy Entertainment’s previous titles by offering not one but two playable characters – the titular Wake and newcomer Saga Anderson. Both have unique weapons and also different progression paths. While Wake uses Words of Power to upgrade stats, Saga needs Manuscript Fragments to strengthen her weapons.
Manuscript Fragments are found in Casey Lunch Boxes, spread throughout Bright Falls. Check out all their locations below.
