At long last, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, the sequel to MachineGame’s 2014 reboot of id Software’s classic franchise is available. The New Colossus goes bigger and better than the original game in just about every way- there’s a whole lot going on here, from mechanics to story, and more.
If you want help getting through everything that Wolfenstein 2 : The New Colossus has to offer, you’ve come to the right place, because this guide is going to help out with just that. From collectibles, weapon upgrades, contraptions, perks and upgrades, cheats, and Achievements and Trophies, this guide covers everything. So, without further ado, let’s get started.
ALL COLLECTIBLES LOCATIONS
Gold, Starcards, Concept Art, Max’s Toys, Records
There are a lot of collectibles for you to hunt down and find in Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. There are starcards, records, Max’s toys, there is concept art, gold, and more. All of this is scattered across the entire length and breadth of the game, so it can take some concerted searching for you to find it.
Which is where we come in. The video below will walk you through all the collectible locations through the entire game. Nothing in the game is really missable (you can go back to any location to pick up what you might have neglected to the first time), so don’t stress out if you see something you missed.
WEAPON UPGRADE LOCATIONS
It can be hard to remember sometimes, given how thematically heavy and resonant the game is, but Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is a shooter. That means lots and lots of shooting, which means lots and lots of things to shoot with. You can upgrade your weapons in the game, too- and the video below shows you how and where to do that.
CONTRAPTIONS
These are special abilities that enable you to traverse the world in special ways. While all contraptions are ultimately equivalent in terms of mobility, they can give you unique advantages in combat.
Battle Walker: Lets you reach higher places; keeps you overcharged until you take damage.
Constrictor Harness: Lets you squeeze through narrow places; increases the duration you can remain constricted
Ram Shackles: Lets you smash through things; your armor regenerates
PERKS, EARNING PERKS, FARMING PERKS, AND MAXING PERKS OUT
Perks work in The New Colossus exactly as they did in The New Order. They are basically reflective of your play style (much like how leveling in Skyrim works), with a second layer of mastery added to each of them. Perks are divided into three categories:
Tactical
- Kills by burning: Reduces damage you will take from diesel weapons
- Elektro-bomb stun kills: You will take reduced damage from laser weapons.
- Environmental kills: Reduces damage taken by explosives.
- Enemy grenade kills: You get a longer window of time before enemy grenades explode
- Headshot kills: Boosted damage when you aim down sights
- Battle Walker kills: Ammunition from dropped enemy weapons goes up
Stealth
- Stealth takedowns: Increases your movement speed in crouch.
- Enigma codes: Commander alarm signals get delayed
- Thrown hatchet kills: Your hatchet capacity increases
- Quick Commander kill: damage dealt with suppressed weapons is increased
- Takedowns or tampers: You get laser and diesel ammunition when tampering.
- Constrictor kills: Increases movement speed when using Constrictor harness.
Mayhem
- Heavy weapon kills: Magazine size for heavy detached weapons increases
- Grenade kills: increased grenade capacity.
- Overcharged kill: Health overcharge deflates slower
- Dual-wield kills: increased total capacity forammunition.
- Combat takedown: Health regenerates faster
- Ram shackle kills: Enemy armor pieces drop more armor
Farming And Maxing Perks
There is a certain spot in the game, in a wrecked building in the beginning of the Manhattan level, that you can use to farm stealth takedowns, enigma codes, thrown hatchet kills, quick commander kills, hand grenade kills, overcharged kills, dual-wield kills, combat takedowns, and headshot kills. This video here demonstrates this process.
CHEAT CODES AND CHEATS (INFINITE UPGRADE KITS, UNLIMITED MONEY, ITEMS, CRAFTING)
Before we proceed, a note: Use this at your own discretion. You can use the Cheat Engine for the PC version. The video below demonstrates how.
