And while it tells a compelling, thrilling story that prompts you to pay attention to what is happening at all times, it also challenges you to poke and prod at it, and discover the reams upon reams of hidden content that there is waiting for you to find it all.
If you need help finding it all, we’re here to help you. In this guide, we walk you through finding everything hidden in every last nook and cranny of Prey– from collectibles like Keycards, Neuromods, Emails, Employees, Recordings, Smuggler’s Dead Drops, Passwords, Safe Codes, Suit Chipsets, Heavy Gear Optimizers, Starbender to Cheat Codes and Cheats that will give you unlimited Neuromods and infinite crafting items, materials and ammo. And finall we have also included video guides for some of the trophies and achievements in the game.
Prey is developed by Arkane Studios, the developers behind the Dishonored series. The game is now available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Collectibles:
What is a modern game without collectibles? Of course, littering your game with countless, inane collectibles can be detrimental to the experience. Prey, thankfully, refrains from doing that. Most collectibles, while significantly difficult to track down in their entirety, are pretty meaningful. In this section of the guide, we help you track them down.
Neuromods – Locations Guide And Skills Guide:
There are 28 Neuromods in Prey. The videos below show you how to track down and gather all of them. Gathering them is advisable, because they can help unlock new abilities for you.
If you need a list of the Neuromods, this video helps you out. It even organizes them into Scientist, Engineer, and Security, so you can find exactly what you are looking for.
Starbenders – Locations Guide
There are six Starnebdeds in Prey for you to find- and given the size of the game, finding them can naturally be an onerous endeavor. In this section of the guide, we walk you through find all of them.
