Mission 1: Induction

1. Following the turret defense section against the robotic drones, you'll enter a curved interior building. Stick to the right wall and go upstairs, turning right on the landing. There's a small bar with a white neon sign. The first intel is on a table in the back corner of the bar.

2. Leaving the subways, you'll move into a Seoul street. At the forking path, there's a restaurant with a sign in white and pink text. Go upstairs, then across to the bar where another set of stairs lead up to the third floor. On the third floor landing you'll find the intel on the floor near the railing.

3. Near the end of the mission you'll need to collect explosives and move toward an aircraft by fighting across a fountain with a waterfall. Walk behind the waterfall to find a small hidden room where intel is on a table.

Mission 2: Atlas

4. At the start of the mission, move down the hall and breach the room. Once you're clear, turn around and return down the hall. It continues left — after finishing the breach, a door will open. Go inside the bedroom and look in the restroom for the intel.

5. Following the vehicle ride tour with Irons, you'll be deposited outside a building. Before going inside for repairs, turn right to get a good look at the closed gate. There's a security station to the right of the gate with another intel inside.

Mission 3: Traffic

7. Following the slow-motion roof breach, move through the building to the large atrium where plants are in the center. Move to the left offices and look for a photo copier next to the window, just in front of the objective wall. Next to that, there's a corner desk with the first intel.

Mission 4: Fission

10. Stepping out of the elevator down inside the ruined facility, turn right then enter the larger room where the "Follow” marker is visible straight ahead. Don't continue yet.

Mission 5: Aftermath

15. Past the section where your team uses a vehicle for cover, you'll enter a ruined interior where an ambush hits you with flash grenades. At the end of this section, you'll be prompted to breach the door.

17. Fighting down the alleys in the middle of the mission, you'll eventually reach an area where the road forks. Between the two roads is a building's door with a blue awning. Take the left path down to find stairs leading up through a door on the left. Look in an open door to the left of exterior stairs. Go upstairs and go through the first door on the right. There's an ammo crate on the bed, and intel on the floor behind the bed.

18. Near the end of the mission where you need to acquire an anti-air missile, leave through the chic white/orange restaurant, sticking to the left boundary of the level, to reach a smaller blue-hued boutique. Behind the register counter is the intel.

26. Entering the ice caves, enemies will rappel down onto a high cliff on the right to get a good view of your position. There's a lower rock platform on the right, with the right-most shooter standing next to the intel. It's clearly visible from the cavern entrance.

27. After Gideon pulls you out of the water, look right of him to see the wreckage of a crashed aircraft. On the back-right side of the wreck is where you'll find the intel. It's sitting on blackened snow near the front.

32. When you come to a police vehicle with its front end smashed under the end of a tanker, you should notice a traffic notice billboard to the right of it. Jump onto the top of the tanker's back end, turn around and you may notice the intel on the back of the billboard. You'll need to boost jump to reach it

33. Moving toward the end of the mission, stick to the left side of the bridge and pass a white bus. Across the railing there's a crate with the laptop. It's right before reaching the helicopter parked on the bridge.

Mission 12: Armada

34. On the large ship after setting the two charges, head straight for the burned hole beneath the command tower. Jump in through the hole, where Cormack is waiting, and turn right into the hallway. Reach the main room with the terminals beneath the windows, look directly to the right as you enter to find the intel sitting on the terminals

Mission 13: Throttle

38. Entering a large area with turrets and a white overpass snaking to the left, head down the street to the right instead. Cross the street and go upstairs to reach a modular tent. Don't go into the tent, just go up the stairs, then look up. There's a grapple point on the white building with planters built into different levels. Zip up to that grapple point, then look up and right. Climb up once, then a second and third time to find the intel.

39. Near the end of the level you'll need to kill a heavy soldier in a mech suit then collect an anti-air missile launcher. Don't collect the weapon, instead head a little bit further own the sky-walk and look on the benches to the left. It's about in the center of the bridge.

Mission 14: Captured

40. Moving upstairs and going into the room marked "R4" look for a door past the two surrendering civilians on the right. Go inside and look in the back corner.

41. Pulling open the laboratory doors with Gideon, Gideon takes care of the doctor — look left of the pried open double doors  after opening them to get this intel.

42. After a dramatic rescue, a heavy exo-suit soldier will die. Before you get inside his suit, turn around to find an intel on the desk right behind you.

Mission 15: Terminus

43. Inside the heavy suit, you'll move through darkly yellow-hued hallways. The objective marker points left into a brightly lit hall. Don't go that way, instead continue forward into the dark passage straight ahead. Turn right to find the intel on a counter in the very dark room.

44. Entering the silo chamber, take the first stairs down on the left and go through the double open doorways. This floor is marked "7" — smash the glass, enter the hall and look in the first room on your left.

45. Near the end of the game, you'll have to fight multiple heavy exo-suits before your partner kicks down the locked double doors. He'll turn right and enter futuristic curved hallways marked with "5" — don't go that way. Instead continue straight (or left if you're facing the "5" halls) and grab the last intel in the security office near the window.

You can access the audio recordings on these pieces of intel from the campaign menu, or just be happy that you finally got the achievement/trophy.
