Well, thanks a lot for the work you put in but sadly after searching the map 3 times myself and then going over it with your pictures I'm still stuck at 99% so guess mine glitched

This is such a bullshit achievement, now I have to start a new game just for this and hope to god it doesn't glitch again. This game still has so many bugs it in but I'll be using your pictures on my second playthrough so thanks again for all the work you put into them.

EDIT: After doing a speed run it turns out that the one I was missing was picture 57-58 and was there all along (I loaded up my original save to confirmed it was in fact there). There is 6 yellow polls in the sand and you knock over the 5th poll with Duncan so you can get up to the chest....Doing this blocked off my view from the cliff side and the box was hiding there just on the right side in the sand under the poll (the poll pretty much blocked it off so I could only see it from the right side).

Thank you so much again SONIXCX for all the hard work you put into these pictures and I wouldn't have gotten this if it wasn't for you efforts

@Sonixcx, you are awesome! Going through these tonight to see what I'm missing. Been stuck at 98% after roaming for 4-6 hours in Shifting Sands.

By StumblesMcGee on 08 Dec 2016 20:15

Anyone been brave enough to download that Zip file?

Te como tos los huevazos, campeón

By Buffington on 13 Dec 2016 12:45

This is a really good picture guide. I used it and found my missing ones (95% to 100%) in 2 hours. I went through one by one, thank you.

By SuperDuperLiam on 13 Dec 2016 13:38

I just followed it and I'm still stuck at 99%, didn't find anything new. Going to assume that my game is glitched. Thanks for the guide though, was worth a shot.

By IanVanCheese on 14 Dec 2016 18:39

Might want to check again then Ian. I just used the photos for shifting sands over the last 2 days and managed to find every last one. I went through them very slowly and made sure i was standing in exact same spot as his map reference then flipped back to picture and checked that they were all claimed.

By Dritnul on 16 Dec 2016 19:52

I'm going to speedrun back to shifting sands and then use the guide, it's easier to follow the guide from scratch than try to line up where a cube was supposed to be.

By IanVanCheese on 17 Dec 2016 03:12

I am an actual idiot. It was the one under the bridge that I was missing, just found it while doing hunting challenges. I was so sure I had that one.

Thanks for the guide and thank god I stumbled on that one lol.

By IanVanCheese on 17 Dec 2016 12:57

Fantastic guide sir, really appreciate all the effort that you put into this. Easy thumbs up from me.

By SirLancealot17 on 28 Dec 2016 07:25

Thanks for putting the pictures together. Brought me up to 99% from 91%. Not too sure why only 99% though, BS game.

By ChknFingrs on 30 Dec 2016 05:22

Oh my god, dude! Thank you so much! Literally...the last picture! AHHHH!

By Professor Loot on 31 Dec 2016 07:25

Maybe this helps for some being stuck at 99%.
I was going through this awesome collection of pictures very slowly and carefully.
The one from picture 129 was not there, when i looked for it.
I ran into that one by accident later on and it was there.
maybe it is glitched.

By Sgt Flo Ryan on 31 Dec 2016 14:00

^ Didn't help me :( But thanks anyways.

Just wanted to mention that finding the pickups is cumulative across multiple saved games, and is NOT limited to a single saved game. if you start a new game and find the missing pickup part way through, you will unlock the achievement.

Just did that for Lonely Basin :D

By ChknFingrs on 01 Jan 2017 02:57

Is this download safe and is it free?

By wilco444 on 03 Jan 2017 14:46

It's safe, free and absolutely amazing!

By liviaro on 05 Jan 2017 09:58

It is safe and just perfect!!!!! Thanks @SONIXCX!!!!!!

By Rafinhamdc83 on 05 Jan 2017 18:41

I think I'm missing just one crafting block, and I can't figure out how to reach it! If you open the Shifting Sands map you'll see the big robot arm. Look at its thumb and then look left (West) until you hit the dark grey outline of rock. That little tip that juts out has a cube high up, but I can't figure out how to get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

By Cpt Rex Kramer on 05 Jan 2017 21:33

AARRRGGGG! Just got what I thought was the last one.... and still at 99%! These chivos are a pain in the ass!

By Cpt Rex Kramer on 05 Jan 2017 21:45

I'm having trouble getting up to where the ones in pictures 53 and 55 are. Any tips or a video?
Edit: Figured it out, you get up there from the section accessible with a FL1R near the lost crawler.

I downloaded the zip file, but when I unpack the pictures, Lonely Basin starts at #23. Am I missing pictures #1-22, or were they not included?

By Frankie DrumsNY on 21 Jan 2017 19:16

They are not missing, each area folder has 2 folders in it if i remember correctly, 1 for the hardware pickups and one for the other stuff i have forgot what it was now, in some of these folders the numbering continue so in this case the other stuff are #1-22 and the hardware pickups starts with #23 :)

By liviaro on 21 Jan 2017 19:29

liviaro The other regions do not follow that same logic--the caches have an independent numbering system and the pickups all start with #1. And I thought that might be the case, but for the Lonely Basin the caches end at #46, so it sill doesn't work out.

By Frankie DrumsNY on 22 Jan 2017 15:08

Guess i remember incorrectly then, i downloaded the file and followed the pictures provided and it netted me the achievement :-)

By liviaro on 22 Jan 2017 15:23

Thank you so much for this, it must have taken ages but is much appreciated! Found my last one in the middle of the sand, thought they were all around the edges so was bypassing that one for ages :)

By ViperDonz on 22 Jan 2017 22:35

Does anyone else know if the guide for Lonely Basin pickups is complete even though it starts at #23?

By Frankie DrumsNY on 23 Jan 2017 04:56

Hurah! Shifting sands 243rd picture was mine hardware!!! Thank you very much for guide!!!

By RumataEstorish on 30 Jan 2017 05:44

Just tried and i can download it without problems

By liviaro on 02 Feb 2017 09:39

Got it. I missed 8 at the north east big rock, because when I get there first my inventory was full...

By Vengeful Void on 02 Feb 2017 13:23

Download no longer works, says "bad zip file"

Edit: problem was my mobile phone, I figured it out finally. Now to finish this AWFUL achievement

By Schinderdiv on 03 Feb 2017 01:14

I cannot reach the number 112. Someone knows how to reach it?

By ZorroZorrAoS 17 on 08 Feb 2017 22:32

You should be given an award for this guide. Was at 99% and was pulling my hair out. Thanks a bunch, upvotes from me.

By oaksprout on 25 Feb 2017 07:49

tkans @SONIXCX for pictures, and @S4W for the idea of speed run after countless hours of searching, my missing pieces was 123, i checked this place before, I am sure wasn't there, after i did a speed run and get the cheevo i checked in original save and surprise, it was there.

By Robotel Ro on 05 May 2017 17:18

Thank you so much for this! Found my missing piece in 20 minutes!

By Puelsay19 on 16 Jul 2017 15:15

Hooooolyyyyyyy shit. I finally got it. I've been stuck at 99% for a month. I started at the very last image in the Shifting Sands folder and that was the one I was missing.

THANK YOU.

By staindgrey on 25 Jul 2017 05:46

Thank you so much, those pictures are priceless for a couple of those hard to see ones. Finally nabbed every hardware

By Tropan on 18 Aug 2017 23:02

Once I got to the Shifting Sands after the storm, it popped even though I only had 70% progression. Maybe it's (positively) glitching up for others as well?

By Gerbasgamer on 29 Aug 2018 17:38

It has been several years, but I just got around to playing Recore and praise be to you!
93% collected and your pictures saved me from running around for hours if not days.

By Burntpinz on 06 Jan 2021 02:44

Thanks for doing these. I downloaded the file but ended not using them as it unlocked at 98%. Went Shifting Sands then a storm went. Got what I could then went back to Joule's Crawler. When going back to Shifting Sands unlocked in loading screen.

By Ian 1485 on 12 Jun 2021 12:14

For anyone stuck in the 96-99% range follow the cliff on the eastern side of the map and check lower cliffs. I just found my last 4% over there, after a couple hours running all over the map like a lunatic.

By Buachaill Dona on 16 Sep 2022 09:55

While this is extremely tedious and takes a lot of time to do, the images and map shots are fantastically done and helped me finally find the LAST stupid cube I was missing. Thank you!

By Ch1ps on 18 Dec 2016 07:13

Thank you very much for your guide, it helped me with one of the achievements that I lacked, it was locked in 99% of the scrap collectibles.

The other one that I lack of the diagrams I am assuming that it is bugged, because it is locked in 91% and I did not find what it would lack to unlock.

But still thank you very much.

Muito obrigado pelo seu guia, me ajudou com uma das conquistas que me faltava, estava travado em 99% dos coletáveis das sucatas.

A outra que me falta dos diagramas estou assumindo que está bugado, pois está travado em 91% e não encontrei o que faltaria para desbloquear.

Mas ainda sim muito obrigado.

By FisherCreed47BR on 26 Dec 2016 14:15

Hi everyone!
I've gotten a LOT of messages asking for the file since it seems some of you can't download it from the provided link above, if you can't download it from there you can try get it from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3cpluyovimsxvh4/Recore_pickups.zip... :)

By liviaro on 06 Mar 2017 06:59

I finally got it. my advice if you far ahead in the game and still missing hardware (especially Shifting Sands) is to start a brand new game and try not to pick up any hardware unless you are following the picture that @SONIXCX from the start. i just started a brand new game just today and finished the Warren and after that, i just look at each photo and counted to make sure that the number of hardwares matched on both the photo and game (it might also help to add all the hardware you gotten in a single area for examples there are ten hardwares once you reach Duncan's Crawlers which adds up to 250 in Shifting Sands). and this can work for the other areas, but i already gotten those. anyways good luck and happy hunting

This is easier with the Definitive Edition.

Follow either of the other two guides, and that will get you about 97% (without a lot of heavy re-hunting). If you're low, don't worry about it too much.

Then what you do, is after fighting Victor the first time in Eden Tower, return to the Shifting Sands. You'll have a notification that there can be storms now.

Once a storm starts (FYI, many purple enemies spawn, so this is a good time to farm), you can fast travel to the crawler or any dungeon. Once you fast travel back to SS, there will be new hardware pickups. Collect to your heart's content.

If you vote down, please explain in the comments.

Ok a so a few notes to this, the reason this happens is that the storms have now been altered to uncover new everything so not just Hardware but also Health boosters & Prismatic Cores (found 1 in a cave under the giant robot hand that would've been absolutely impossible to get to before the storm) however,my core counter says a total of 16 & only found 9 using the walkthrough,plus 2 at the challenge dungeons, so I think the number of cores might be set in stone but the rest surely ain't including a lots of enemies,which I might add aren't just purple but all colors depending on the storm.
You get a heads-up every time a new storm approaches & are told to seek cover in either a dungeon or a crawler,naturally the safety of Joule's own crawler seems ideal but if it's actually possible to stay out & survive (sort of like in Mad Max where it's doable but odds are you'll die) ~~I don't know~~ ... Edit: it is possible, even better is that the enemies seem to be mainly (if not only) the rare kinds,like purple or orange...
Finally there are rumors of the achievement popping on its own once you return to Shifting Sands after the first storm which I can confirm,I had around 94-95% when I read this solution & therefore decided to hell with the rest,got my 1st Victory against Victor,fast traveled back to SS waited for a storm,fast traveled to Joule's Crawler & back & before SS had reloaded the achievement popped,yay :)

By EverStoned77 on 02 Feb 2018 22:28

With the Definitive Edition, I still picked up about 50 more, after getting the achievement. I am guessing that the ones in the storm have been added later...? They still count for achievement tracking so no issues with this area.

By Adifel on 27 Nov 2017 19:06

Yeah, they were added later.

Don't know why I have negative votes.

By DURDENS WRATH on 27 Nov 2017 19:37

Great info, thanks man!

By on 29 Nov 2017 01:20

1st of all thanks for the guide

As for the downvoting, sadly some morons downvote solutions like this

because of the ratio decay that comes with a much easier solution to an achievement they've struggled for days or even weeks to get, what they fail to get is that, that will always be the risk with gaining achievements in the newest games but then they get to play the game while it's brand new... it's not like there aren't any risks at playing a game late like f.ex discontinued achievements so hey,live with it, don't blame a solution creator for something that's way out of their hands,after all this is an achievement site & it's a thing made by the developers not a glitch, cheat or anything like that...

By EverStoned77 on 24 Jan 2018 02:00

Glad I could help EverStoned

By DURDENS WRATH on 28 Jan 2018 03:54

Just popped this. I beat Victor then was doing other stuff before moving to shifting sands for my last K9 challenge. A storm came as i was collecting the hardware after my challenge . Was at 56%. So I travelled to my crawler to switch zone. Came back to SS and pop achievement unlocked.

By Bandicoot V2 on 07 May 2018 00:19

you don't even have to beat the story. I did the first floor of the tower and went back afterwards to do some challenge dungeons. This triggered the on screen message that storms are coming now the first time I got to shifting sands. When I got back after the first storm, the achievment popped without picking up anything. I had about 70-80% progress before.

By s3bb86 on 24 Jul 2018 19:58

I had about 60% of the 250 needed, entered a Shifting Sands dungeon to get the fast travel point. Went back outside and this popped.

I'm not sure you're correct about new Hardware appearing around Shifting Sands after a sandstorm, I've yet to see any new or extra Hardware pieces appearing in the environment. I believe the zone switches between two different versions after each sandstorm ends, so that may uncover different pieces of Hardware, but it's not adding them.

OK after playing more that's exactly what it is. After each sandstorm, it switches to the other version of the Shifting Sands. Each one has its own totals for Caches, Cores and Health Boosters, along with its own set of Hardware pickups. Which dungeons you can access is dependent on what version of the Shifting Sands it's on as well.

1% give 3 boxes per location.
The most difficult places to pay attention to:

At the very beginning of the location there is a destroyed bridge, behind which there is a purple dog. Jump over the bridge to the dog and look under the bridge. There's a box there.
Carefully examine the boxes on the all-terrain vehicle in which Duncan is with the corpse of the old owner. Not only are there boxes on the all-terrain vehicle itself, but there is a box on the lantern spire itself. It looks like a light bulb, but it's a box.
In the western part of the desert, near the lying hand, there is an entrance blocked with sand. You should climb onto the rocks and you can fly over on the flyer to take the box above the gate.
In the southeastern part of the desert there is a rock with a dungeon arena. You need to climb there on a spider. Under the rock, under the entrance to the dungeon, there is a cave, there are boxes.
You can climb the rock from the previous point, to its very top. There is still a torn blue flag there. There is a chest + boxes there.
There is a box at the very top of the fallen head. It's very easy to miss.

As a recommendation:
Climb all the mountains, climb all the ledges and cliffs, along all the edges of the maps, under bridges and rocks.
