Intel locations

By finding and collecting all 30 pieces of Intel that are scattered throughout the game, you can earn the last 12 skill points. Intel helps fill in the back-story behind Resistance, and can be found by exploring the various nooks and crannies of each level.

  • Reading Is Fun! (2 SP): Collect 10 pieces of Intel.
  • Chicks Dig Eyestrain (3 SP): Collect 20 pieces of Intel.

York

  • Guidelines: After the second checkpoint, head opposite the soldiers to the end of the alleyway. The Intel is at the end of an alleyway with a couple of 40mm rounds.
  • Infection: Moving down the alley from Guidelines, turn left at the burning bus to find a small courtyard. Ammo and Intel can be found therein.

  • Isolationism: Near the previous Intel, in a closet behind the nearby staircase.

  • York Set Up: Just before the end of the Grimsby levels, as you%26rsquo;re going through the warehouses, you%26rsquo;ll be attacked by some Leapers. After you%26rsquo;ve repelled their assault, backtrack a bit and climb the stairs to find this Intel.

Cheshire

  • Specimen Tank: In the hall where you first face the Slipskulls, go into the last open room on the right and use the hole in the wall to reach the room to your left. You%26rsquo;ll find fuel-air grenades and Intel on its desk.

  • Autopsy: In the infirmary.

Somerset

  • Field Guide 1: In a grassy field in the first area of %26ldquo;Search and Rescue.%26rdquo; If you%26rsquo;re behind the burning bus, you%26rsquo;ve gone too far.
  • Spires: After opening the first gate, go through, hang a right, and navigate the small, dark forest there until you find a cabin. The Intel is inside.
  • Field Guide 2: In %26ldquo;A Disturbing Discovery,%26rdquo; use the left-hand door to leave the first building. You%26rsquo;ll fight a few Hybrids and find a dead soldier holding this Intel.

Bristol

  • Preparations: At the bottom of one of the missile bays in the hangar.
  • Broadcast Guide: On a dead soldier as you make your way back outside, in a red-lit room. It%26rsquo;s nearly impossible to miss.

  • Stranger: As you ascend the tower by using the updrafts, keep an eye out below you for this bit of Intel.

London

Thames

  • Construction: After defeating the Widowmaker, leave via the alleyway and check in the alcove for some Intel.
  • Demolitions: Near the end of %26ldquo;Burning Bridges,%26rdquo; you%26rsquo;ll find one of the Black Ops soldiers dead in an alleyway, with this Intel on him.

  • Observations: At the beginning of %26ldquo;Last Hope,%26rdquo; keep your eyes peeled for an opening in the chamber wall. It%26rsquo;ll lead you down a narrow path to more Intel.
  • Angels: Once you%26rsquo;ve won past the assault by a trio of Angels, there%26rsquo;s a packet of Intel on the floor of the tunnel in plain sight.
