Wanted: Dead — All Police HQ Collectibles

The Police HQ is the single most daunting area in Wanted: Dead regarding collectible hunting. New collectibles spawn at this hang out spot after every mission, but the Police HQ also acts as the fourth dedicated mission with its own set of collectibles like any other normal level. Because of the way Police HQ is structured, this guide will break apart the collectibles into different phases. 

Where to Find all Police HQ Collectibles in Wanted: Dead

Claw Games

Wanted: Dead spawns you at Police HQ after every mission, but there is a point of no return. After Club Deaf Panther, the Police HQ becomes its own mission, rendering it inoperable after this point. Because of this, you’ll want to take advantage of the arcade before this point of no return. 

The arcade is found on the fourth floor adjacent to the employee cafeteria. Here, you will find two different interactive claw machines. One houses only character figures. The other claw machine also houses other categories of collectibles such as music tracks.

You should collect everything from the claw machines before the fourth mission. There is no real strategy to it, relying on luck that the physics don’t glitch as they tend to do. You just have to keep trying until the machines only spawn duplicates. You won’t be able to get everything from the start. New collectibles such as figures are added to the possible claw machine rotation after each mission. 

With the claw machines out of the way, it’s time to delve into the normal Police HQ collectibles by phase.

Anything you haven’t done yet at Police HQ, including the claw game collectibles, will no longer be accessible once you start the proper Police HQ mission. This comes right after the Club Deaf Panther mission, so be aware of this point of no return. The proper Police HQ mission turns the once cozy hang out spot into a traditional linear level with its own set of collectibles.

Later on in the level, you’ll reach a checkpoint in front of a set of elevators with the following area looking like a training room. After clearing the enemies here, the sloped path downward is the only way forward.
