The Grave
1. In the parking lot, jump on top of the pick-up truck and then on the ledge of the building. Follow it and duck under the AC unit to find a grate to the vents you can break open.
2. Past the jail cells, enter the door and turn right towards the steam pipes. Light some dynamite and throw it into the middle of the hall to blow open the wall to the locked jail cell.
3. At the end of the hall, after the jail cells, is a long flight of stairs. Turn around on the steps and you can get to a vent by jumping on the open door.
4. After the loading area, when you are outside, head to the far right past the last cargo container. There is a small vent on the wall you can climb into by moving the oil drum. At the end of the vent, shoot and break the crate so you can see a door. Return inside the building to the first door in the downstairs hallway next to the steam pipe room. Once inside, break the toilet and crawl into the hole behind it.
5. Back outside, go left this time and to the side of the building. Above a pick-up truck, there is a ledge with a wall you can dynamite.
6. Continuing outside, you will eventually reach a large barricade with two sentries. On the far left, behind some grass, you can crouch through to a cache.
7. The road past the barricade has a long pond on the right. At the far end there is a pipe you can swim into.
8. When you reach a small green shack next to a large excavator, go around back to find a window you can break to get inside.
9. Inside the mine, you will have to crouch under some debris and enter a flooded room with a bridge, some cultists and a flipped vehicle high on a ledge, climb the barrels and boxes to reach it.
10. After sliding down a large slope you will find yourself in a large chamber. On the second level are two cargo containers with planks bridging them. Go behind the left container and break the boxes to get inside.
11. At the top of the large chamber, you will cross a small plank bridge. To the right is a long row of tents and the left dead ends at a rock. Hop over the rock to find a lone tent and some items.
The Shipyard
1. When you reach the section where you dive into the water, keep swimming downwards and grab the item by the side of the sunken boat. Make sure you see the secret area notification as the top item doesn’t count.
2. A little further ahead is a giant boat. Swim directly underneath it. There’s an item by a couple boxes near the middle.
3. At the top of the boat, jump on the stacked cargo containers and head to the front. There’s an area you can drop down into.
4. Along the docks heading to land, there is a small overturned boat near the shore. Swim up inside it.

6. Outside in the large open area with the minecarts where the big shoot-out takes place. Climb to the top of the middle spire. At the top of the steps, look down to see a ledge with a bunch of items. Carefully drop to that ledge.
7. At the top right of the fortress made of shipping containers, near the cultist with the machine gun, look for a gap in the board fence to drop down from. Head towards the chain link fence that has an item that counts as your secret.
The Mine Town
1. After lowering the drawbridge, you will cross another bridge and then reach a third at ground level with a creek running under it. Follow it to your left into the mountain, where you can duck down into a small space with an item cache.
2. Follow the creek the opposite way. Just before it ends at another mountain, there will be some items under a couple boats leaning against the mountain on your right.
3. Across the creek from (2), climb up the crates stacked by the overhang of the warehouse. At the open window, carefully walk the ledge to a shelf and crouch into the top shelf, moving the crates in your way. Follow it to the end with another ledge and open window to drop into a secret area.
4. Return back to the bridge by Secret 1, and follow the path a bit to a locked up house on your left. Toss some dynamite at the door and shoot it to get inside, but watch for the enemies.
5. Up the hill in town, enter the big lodge across from the three little shacks. In the kitchen (making sure to grab the cellar key) move the boxes in the corner to find a grate you can break and go through for an item.
6. In the cellar, throw some dynamite into the corner by the stairs with the oil drums and crates to reveal a hole in the wall.
7. Inside the refinery. On the first floor, throw some dynamite in the back corner by the covered crate to make a hole that leads outside.
The Mines
1. A while into the level, you will drop down from high up into a flooded cavern. Right where you drop down from, look for a tipped minecart underwater and grab the item from in it. It should be a touch to your left.
2. In the same cavern. From where you dropped down look to the right, by the land for a small minecart tunnel. Break the boxes behind the cart and duck under the wooden barricade.

The Crypts
1. When you reach the torchlit room with the circular emblem in the middle, enter the small door on the left and then turn right. At the end of the room on the right you’ll see a casket leaning against the crypt wall. Duck and jump up on it to find a cache in there.
2. After falling into the pit with the pile of bodies and crawling out back to flooded corridors, you’ll come to a room with a lot of undead. Look on the right side behind a stone pillar and casket to find a spot you can duck into in the wall of bones. You can see the item clearly from the middle of the room.
3. After swimming through the sequence of flooded rooms, you will reach a large semi flooded room with a bunch of undead and rough wooden walkways. At the far end is a tunnel. Go to the end, there is an item behind a rock.

No Secrets
Interlude

The Farm
1. Head far down the farm road. When you reach the house with cop car out front with its lights on, go inside. There is a long sequence here that will get you a key. Use the key on the barn and fight the cultists. Behind the workbench in here is a pile of boxes with one breakable one. Break it to get under the platform the workbench is on.
2. Right after, climb the truck to get to the loft of the barn. Climb the haystack to find some a secret area to drop into.
