Collectibles: VHS Tapes

Welcome, cyber-commando, to the ultimate guide for tracking down every last relic of the glorious 80s – the VHS Tapes! These aren't just dusty old movies; collecting all 32 VHS Tapes scattered across the island is crucial for unlocking the coveted "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" achievement/trophy. Each tape you find also contributes to your overall completion percentage, so let's get hunting!

Unlike some other collectibles, VHS Tapes are often found indoors, tucked away in the grimy corners of enemy strongholds, abandoned shacks, and forgotten bunkers. Keep your eyes peeled for glowing, rectangular objects – that's your prize! While some are out in the open, many require a bit of exploration and sometimes, a little parkour to reach. Don't be afraid to climb, jump, and even swim to uncover these cinematic treasures.

We've broken down the locations by the main island regions to make your search as efficient as possible. Remember, clearing out enemy garrisons first can make your scavenging much safer and more enjoyable.
