Memory Boards are collectible items scattered throughout Dite. These boards contain fragments of information about the world, its inhabitants, and the events that led to your arrival. Collecting them provides lore insights and often rewards you with Kuban Energy or other minor bonuses. They are usually found in hidden corners, on top of structures, or near significant landmarks.
While not essential for progression, collecting Memory Boards adds depth to the game's narrative and encourages exploration. Keep an eye out for glowing blue objects, as these often indicate a nearby Memory Board. Some boards might be in hard-to-reach locations, requiring creative use of your movement abilities or crafted items like ladders. Use your binoculars to scout for them from a distance. A complete collection can offer a sense of accomplishment and a deeper understanding of the game's lore.
Mirroring the data collection mechanics from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, these boards function as narrative archives that expand the lore while providing essential upgrade resources.
While the Memory Boards in Metal Gear Survive primarily flesh out the game's survivalist lore, they echo the digital data collection found in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
