Armor & Health Pickups

Learn where to find all Health and Armor Upgrades in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Boost your max health and armor pickup value to survive the Nazi regime!

Hey there! So, you're diving into Wolfenstein II and want to know about those sweet Health and Armor Upgrades? Smart move! These little soldier figurines are key to making B.J. tougher. They're collectibles that permanently boost your max health and how much you get from armor pickups. Here's the deal: these upgrades are tied to the two timelines you'll play through. You've got the Fergus timeline and the Wyatt timeline. To get them all, you'll need to finish both. Don't worry, the effects stack up and carry over, so you won't miss out if you grab them in one go. ### Health Upgrades Found exclusively in the Fergus timeline, each Health Upgrade you snag adds 10 to your maximum health, capping out at 200 if you find all 10. Keep an eye out, as they're often in spots only accessible in this timeline, sometimes behind those hotwired locks. Pro tip: If you're at the Kreisau hideout, you can actually make a Health Upgrade appear by sleeping in B.J. and Anya's room. Just hit the hay on the second floor, and when you wake up, there should be a red figurine on the nightstand. If you've already grabbed it for that chapter, you'll find a big medpack instead. ### Armor Upgrades These ones are exclusive to the Wyatt timeline. Each Armor Upgrade you collect increases the effectiveness of all future armor pickups by 10%, stacking up to a 100% bonus. Your overall maximum armor stays at 100, but you'll be topping it off much faster! Like the health ones, they're often in areas only reachable in this timeline, sometimes behind those picked locks. Another hideout trick: at the Kreisau hideout, head to J's room on the first floor. Use the workbench, and an Armor Upgrade might appear. If you've already collected it for that chapter, you'll get a large suit of armor instead. Remember, these collectibles are crucial for surviving the tougher encounters. Happy hunting!
