Die Maschine is full of secrets and easter eggs. But the fun doesn't stop there. There are several collectibles spread around the map, which you can collect to learn more about the new Dark Aether story.

These collectibles are referred to as Intel that you can collect in the form of audio logs, documents, radio transmissions, and artifacts. While some of these Intel have fixed locations, others can only be found as random drops from one of the mini-bosses, Megaton, or by doing the trials from the trials computer in the control room.

These Intel are categorized into four main "teams" that are: Requiem, Omega, Maxis, and Dark Aether. We have listed the locations of all Intel that you can find in Die Maschine. There are two categories of Intel - 'Pre-season Intel' and 'Season 1 Intel'. More are expected to be added in the future as more seasons are released.

We also have a complete list of all the Intel found in the new Onslaught Mode for Zombies. We have listed down all the Intel documents and the maps you can find them on.

Pre-season Intel

Machine: You can get this via Mystery Box, as a Trial Reward, or for free by doing the D.I.E. Machine easter egg. Aetherscope: You can craft the Aetherscope once you've collected all three parts by visiting the Dark Aether as part of the main easter egg. Doctor Vogel's Diary: You can get the diary in the Dark Aether by going through the portal in the Medical Bay once you've crafted the Aetherscope. The diary is on a desk by the computer in the Medical Bay office. Decontantamination Agent: This is found at the crash site once you've completed the tank step in the main easter egg. Documents There are a total of six documents. These documents can be obtained by killing the Megaton. When the Megaton splits, you will get the documents from either one of the Megaton Blasters or Bombers.
