Personal Letter 2/6 – Upcoming Delivery

Personal Letter 3/6: Violets Are Wilting

On the north side of the map, where one of the optional objectives is to destroy an AA gun, in a building upstairs. From the barn climb up the ladder on the upper floor to get to the attic, then the collectible Personal Letter #3: Violets Are Wilting is on a desk, surrounded by radio equipment.

Personal Letter 4/6: Violets Don’t Wilt

On the western side of the map, just north of where you need to search for Steffen Beckendorf, there‘s a safe in one of the upstairs rooms in the hotel. Either use a Satchel Charges or loot the code from an officer to open it, and Personal Letter #4: Violets Don‘t Wilt is inside.

Personal Letter 5/6: Pests in the Garden

In the southwesternmost part of the map, beneath the resistance safehouse, follow the pier out into the sea. Beneath the gazebo is a table, with Personal Letter #5: Pests in the Garden on top with 2 rocket launchers next to it, if you want to use you could use the Panzerfaust to destroy that pesky gunship.

Happy trails.

Personal Letter 6/6: Boches at the Door

Downstairs in the main living room area of the resistance safe house, one of the locations you need to visit in order to recover intel to progress your mission. In the building with the main objective “Find Marcel” on the ground floor. Personal Letter #6: Boches at the Door is on the sofa, beneath a painting.

That’s all of the Personal Letters for the Arctic Wall collectibles, let‘s move on to the Workbenches now

Workbench 2/3: SMG Workbench

Found in the building with the main objective “Find Marcel”, on the top floor. You must climb up the side of the house using the vines. Workbench #2: SMG Workbench is just opposite his body.

Underneath the radar tower, next to the room where you need to use the crowbar to overload the generator, there‘s a safe you can blow open using Satchel Charges. Classified Document #3: Lacking Air Support is inside the safe, alongside a bunch of supplies that can aid you on your mission. If you need Satchel Charges, you can find some in the trenches nearby.

Classified Document 4/4: Atlantic Wall Report

To the northern part of the map, just west of the radar tower, there are a couple of townhouses near to one of the anti-air guns. In the kitchen area is a safe which you‘ll need to open with Satchel Charges. Classified Document #4: Atlantic Wall Report is inside. If you don’t have any Satchel Charges, then you can loot one of the soldiers outside for the safe key.

Arctic Wall Collectibles: All Stone Eagles

There are 3 decorative stone eagles perched around The Atlantic Wall that you can shoot to grab these collection items:

ATLANTIC WALL	1/6	2/6	3/6	4/6	5/6	6/6

Stone Eagle 3/3

In the southeast part of the map, on the rooftop of the building that is marked as “Vantage Point” (depending on which difficulty you’re playing on) on the map. You can shoot it easily from the beach where you have the optional objective to destroy 3 bunkers or you can just as easily snipe it from the gazebo on the beach from where you picked up the Personal Letter 5/6: Pests in the Garden.
