Most iPod tracks can be found as you play the game. Note that you do not need to get the iPods acquired via the usage of a password. That said the tracks below are not required for the trophy.

Video guide .
1) 150 alarms - Act 4, exit from the tank hangar, where two geckos are grazing. In the hangar we raise the alarm - we run out into the air, wait until Evasion begins. we run into the hangar, etc. Saving along the way is also convenient.
2) 500 kills - actively kill enemies in acts 1-2, because further on there will be MUCH fewer of them and the places of endless respawn can be counted on one hand. So it’s best to arrange a massacre in acts 1-2. Specifically, in Act 1, when we are making our way through a destroyed house, there is a place where two snipers are being knocked down when we arrive. We lie down in their place with optics - endless PMC respawn is in full view.
3) 50 continuations - act 4, when the screen is divided vertically and we need to shoot geckos off the rails. We put on some movie and press it once a minute on the joystick. Exactly this amount of time passes from the moment of restart to the first self-destruction of the Gecko. Less than an hour and 50 sequels ready.
4) 50 heals - just try to use it more often. There seems to be no shortage at medium and low difficulty levels.
5) 35 hours of gameplay - we find any place where you can move from location to location and there are 100% no enemies/patrols nearby (act 3 or 4 is good). We left the console overnight, woke up in the morning, saved, moved to another location for the checkpoint and went on about our business. Nothing will happen to the console in a day. And the remaining hours can be filled with short gaming sessions.
General advice - try to fill everything you need before the end of Act 4, so that later in Act 5 you don’t feverishly write everything down on paper.
