How to unlock the DOOMed Collector achievement in DOOM 3: BFG Edition - Definitive Guide

Below is a link to a comprehensive guide to all PDA locations in Doom 3, as well as the conditions required to get them. Bet you didn't know you had to kill 4 people and take their PDAs for this achievement? I certainly didn't. o_o

Anyhow, the list describes where the PDAs can be found by level and section and how to get it - for example, Your PDA, Mars City: Reception, issued to you by H. Feiner - as well as detailing what's on each PDA. If you don't want to go through the PDAs to find codes, take a look at my solution for the 'Goody Finder' achievement, wherein the link details all codes.

Enjoy!

Well, across the three guides I've posted, here's the list you were after. If you copy the video logs and PDAs into a Word document, zoom out so you can see 2 pages and page break between the two tables, within the first couple of levels they're both easily readable. That's how I did it. ^_^

Of course, in my Walkthrough for Doom 3 (when a few tiny issues with it have been sorted) I'll be making a comprehensive list from start to end of logs, PDAs and lockers, combined and sequential.

Hell: Unidentified
"Not collectable in normal gameplay" - what does that mean? Its not very clear.
This should be in my list of PDAs or not?

That what the little [1] is for.
Its not necessary. Its in the game's code, but was never added to the final game. It's also in Delta 5, not Hell. DW, about it, you don't need ir for the achievement.

Is it possible to go back to the beginning, after you complete the game, grab the first few pdas and still get the achievement? I didn't know I had to kill people and take theirs so I'm like 4 or 5 pdas short

I've been trying to find a combined list, in order, of all lockers, PDA's, and video disks. There's one at another achievements forum, but it's in a ZIP that requires 5 posts to download. I've searched and searched and can't find it anywhere else, or a text version (or HTML table version) that shows all of it merged.

I played for quite a while last night, and missed a video disk early on. Could really benefit from a combined list. :)

I found a video with all the PDAs, video logs and storage lockers.
Credits go to MrReign420!
I hope it helps :)

Note: He forgot one PDA in Alpha Labs 1. It´s on a desk in "EPD Particle Emulsifier" near the switch that extinguishes the fire!
Also he forgot the "Specimen Stasis Museum" video disc in Delta Labs 2B: Lift Access!
The "Goody Finder" achievement seems to be glitched...I unlocked it quite early at the end of Delta Labs 3!

Thank you for posting the video he missed. That would have totally sucked to get to the end and no achievement...

NTA made a 100% complete video-guide which is superior to the rest of the suggested solutions imo

Great video 👍😊 but you should definitely add the LINK to the rest of the videos (aka the YouTube Playlist) as this is only for level 1 ☺

Currently using this website for all the collectible achievements, here is the PDA one:
http://segmentnext.com/2012/10/16/doom-3-bfg-pda-locations-g...

If you click around on THAT website or go to the other solutions on THIS website, you can find the other collectible guides.

Note: These were available day one, so go easy on them!

There are 64 PDAs in the Doom 3 campaign, here is a link to my thread with video guides for all of them: Tips for Nightmare Mode

For this achievement, you must find and pick up all the PDAs scattered across the campaign in one playthrough. PDAs will mostly be lying on tables and on the floor and will have a red screen. Some however require you to kill a friendly so that they may drop it. Collectables in Doom 3 are fairly easy to miss, so make sure that you search the entire level thoroughly before progressing to new areas.

Please visit THIS post for a spreadsheet of all collectables found in chronological order.
