The campaign opens on the night of Emergence Day. Marcus and Dom hear shooting in the streets of Kalona and go to look — and the ground splits open. It’s a short, linear chapter that teaches cover, aiming and Emergence Holes, with 3 collectibles along the way.

Checklist

CollectibleWhere
Monster JawRight after the first fight: when the short cutscene ends, look by the newspaper kiosk on your right.
Bloody Transit Worker’s HelmetDown in the maintenance tunnels, a little past the first hole: a side nook on the left with a body still holding a lit torch.
Front Page of the Kalona TimesIn the bakery beside the hole where the civilians were trapped — take the door left of the counter into the kitchen.

Head towards the gunfire

E-Day night in Kalona: civilians flee while you head for the police station.iitsStatic · 24:05 · CC BY 3.0
  1. The first on-screen objective is Head towards the gunfire. Follow the blue marker through the night streets; the opening is mostly walking and cutscenes, so take a moment to learn the camera and the cover button.
  2. By a furniture shop and a corner mini-mart the road bursts open. This is your first Emergence Hole: duck behind the nearest cover and shoot whatever crawls out until the street goes quiet.
  3. A brief cutscene follows. As soon as you can move again, turn to the newspaper kiosk on your right for the Monster Jaw (collectible 1).

Into the tunnels

  1. Keep pushing toward the marker and grab any weapon the dead drop — ammunition is scarce this early. The route takes you underground: the door in the far-left corner leads into the maintenance tunnels.
  2. The tunnels are dark and the creatures come at you in small groups. Just beyond the first hole down here, check the left-hand nook: a body with a torch still burning in its hand marks the Bloody Transit Worker’s Helmet (collectible 2).

Get to the police station

  1. Back on the surface the objective becomes Get to the police station. People are pinned under rubble near another hole — keep the creatures off them while they’re freed.
  2. Before moving on, step into the bakery next to that hole and go through the door to the left of the counter: the Front Page of the Kalona Times (collectible 3) is in the kitchen.
  3. The station is close now. Climb the brick wall in your way, kick through the door and the chapter ends.
