Due to the game's IGT being very hard to manipulate (unlike re5 or other games), I have decided to remove the segmented category. In its place, I added all collectibles.

In the rules, it says "Obtain all collectibles (cameras, datapads, raccoons, typewriters) and finish the game." I have a few questions because some aspects are not fully clear to me:

• Are all data within a mission meant, or just enough to obtain S-Rank in that sub-category? While most missions have slightly more than the required amount of data for the rank, U.S.S. mission 2 (City Hall) is the extreme case where you need 20 for S-Rank, but there are actually a total of 38 data available in this mission.

• If you die, all data collected before the checkpoint respawn, but the number of collected data does not reset back to the number collected at that checkpoint. Therefore, it is possible to have more data than the maximum available by death and respawn. Or in other words, you could farm the required amount of data in a good spot. What are the rules about this circumstance ?

• You can only interact with Raccoons and Typewriters for the first time. Once collected, the command to interact with these objects is blocked (There is this red circle you also see when you try to pick up ammo or grenades despite having max capacity instead of the button). Is it enough to just get near them and make the (blocked) command appear ?

The whole idea would be to grab every collectable, and finish, regardless of the rank. That's why I called it "All Collectibles" unlike RE5's "100%" that does include getting S on every sub-chapter. I did not take that last one into account when doing this. I did know that happened, I just forgot it. But yeah, I guess we could go with just showing the blocked command. I will add that to the category rules, also that such items have to be mentioned in the description of every submission.

Well all collectables means collect everything, not just enough to get S-rank on each mission.

Really, this should be a NG category, and the way to tell whether it's NG or not would be to see whether you can collect the raccoons/typewriters.

As far as dying and data respawning goes, if you have to have collected every single data atleast once to unlock all concept art for the game then you should show that at the end of the run. If not, then I'd say you shouldnt be able to abuse that mechanic, and just know which ones you have/haven't picked up.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid making it NG but there's no helping it, I guess.

The thing is that unlike security cameras, the game does not tell you how many data each mission has, and if someone tries this run, there is a chance this player might believe to have collected everything, but forgot a few data because of not knowing that certain areas have to be investigated even with the surveillance class' passive ability active. From what I know, for U.S.S., there are 17 in ch.1, 38 in ch.2, 29 in ch.3, 26 in ch.4, 19 in ch.5, 17 in ch.6, and 9 in ch.7, but who knows if I missed a certain corner despite playing U.S.S. campaign for years. For Echo Six, I currently don't know and a detailed investigation would be necessary.

I may try test runs of that category for both campaigns when I come back to this game to see if something else needs to be considered as well.

Yeah, well, there's a couple collectible guides out there, I'm not sure about spec-ops though. Shouldn't be too difficult to route, might be hard to remember though lol

Haven't received a run so I thought I'd change it. Changed "All Collectibles" to "All Cameras and Datapads" since those can be grabbed in ng+.
