How to Use the Interactive Map

The Interactive Map both shows the location of key points on the map, and doubles as a collectible checker.

1. Click an icon on the right side to show all the pins of a specific type, or click the magnifying glass button to search for a specific pin by name.
2. Click a pin on the map to see its name and description, and a relevant picture or video if available.
3. From here, click Mark as Acquired to indicate that you've gotten a collectible already. This will change its icon on the map to show that it has been collected, and add 1 to that pin type's Counter.
4. To undo this, click on the same pin and click Restore to unclaimed.
5. To check how many pins you have marked so far, check the Counter in the bottom left, and click the icon that looks like a checklist to see counters for all pin types.
6. If the collected pins start to get in the way, you can hide them all by clicking the green Show Pins button on the left side.

What are Arche Echoes?

Collectibles Found Across the Map

Arche Echoes are collectible records that are located in various places on the map. These are orb-like items that play a sound clip of a journal entry of characters in the game when interacted with.

Accessible in Journal

After interacting with an Arche Echo, it will play an audio clip of a journal entry. You can check your Journal and play the audio clip again as well as see the transcript of the Arche Echo.

Required for Battle Pass Completion

Collecting Arche Echos is also required in the Battle Pass. They help complete the challenge where you will need to collect 50 records. Completing the challenge will reward you with Bonus Coins you can spend to buy rare Enhancement materials for Weapons and Reactors.
