Act 1

This first act of Quantum Break has three parts followed by a junction. Below is where and how many collectibles are in each section.

Act 1-1 Riverport University Experiment

There are a total of 16 collectibles in Act 1-1.

The first collectible is a Narrative Object, which you'll encounter as soon as you take control of Jack Joyce. Hang a left after getting out of the car and interact with the campus map that's next to the drunk student.

Walk up the steps towards the main buildings and observethe protest flyer on the table to find your second Narrative Object. It’s under the “Join the Protest” banner.

Outside of the chemistry lecture building are two collectibles. One is a Monarch Problems poster, and the other is a Sofia Amaral seminar poster.

In the center of the courtyard beneath the the statue is a radio in a folding chair.

Next to Amy Ferrero is the Monarch timeline. Just to the right of that in the tent is a video file you can play on the TV. That’s the seventh Narrative Object.

To the left of the physics building entrance are two pillars featuring articles on Paul Serene and Dr. Kim.

Before you follow Paul to the elevator, walk behind the desk in the lobby and read the email to find another Narrative Object.

Another Narrative Object is just to the left of the elevator. Observe the Monarch Solutions Job Fair poster then head into the elevator with Paul.

Paul's presentation is also a Narrative Object. If you walk too close to the door that leads to the next area, you won’t be able to watch the presentation.

There are a few collectibles in the Project Promenade lab. The first office space has two. Immediately on your right when you enter is a statue, and there's an email on a black laptop just past that.

The last two Narrative Objects are an email and schematics. The email is on a tablet on a table just outside of the first chamber, and the schematics are hung up on a board on the left just past the tablet.

Act 1-2 Campus Escape

There are four collectibles in Act 1-2. One of these is a Quantum Ripple.

The first Narrative Object is an email in the server room. After escaping the wall of servers with Will, don't leave the room. Instead, go to the desk in the middle of the room where you'll find the computer with the email.

You'll find the Quantum Ripple in the lab that you enter after the utilities room. The Quantum Ripple is an equation on a dry erase board on the right side of the room.

The next room has another email. It's on a tablet in the wood area behind the elevator.

The final collectible for the section is in the area you enter after exiting the elevator. It's an email.

The computer with the Narrative Object can be found on the left side of the room.

Act 1-3 Library Chase

There's only one collectible in Act 1-3.

The collectible is in the yard with the crane. It's a radio on top of a blue barrel to the right of the boxes that sit in the center of the yard.

Act 1 Junction: Hardline/PR

Act 1's junction has three collectibles, including one Quantum Ripple.

The item that causes the Quantum Ripple is the Ram Statue that was first seen in Paul and Will's lab. It's on the right side of the doc, sitting on a box by a moving truck.

The two Narrative Objects are on the right on top of some boxes just before you reach Amy. You'll see William Joyce Dossier, a map, and then the Jack Joyce Dossier.
