Halo Infinite’s campaign has officially been released, and players are now able to explore the series’ first open world. Within some of the operating bases and outposts in the game are Halo Infinite's collectibles such as UNSC and Banished audio logs as well as Spartan Cores and Skulls.
Unfortunately, these can be a bit of a challenge to track down, especially in the heat of battle. This is especially true at the Ransom Keep outpost despite it not having any skulls in Halo Infinite. For those players looking for the two UNSC and Banished audio logs as well as the Spartan Core here, this guide is here to help.
Where are the UNSC Audio Logs at Ransom Keep?
Players should first clear this area of enemies, as it can be quite the challenge with Halo Infinite's Elites and Brutes running around. With that done, both UNSC audio logs are located in the southern section of the base and off the beaten path.
UNSC Log 1
The first log is located down a path near the southern cliff and by a destroyed warthog. Walking towards it will feel almost as if the player is leaving the area completely but the audio log is at the end of the path. The UNSC audio log rests right in front of the destroyed UNSC equipment and it will play automatically when players interact with it.
UNSC Log 2
The second UNSC is nearby but a bit more of a challenge to find. It rests on top of the cliff that overlooks this outpost from the south. From the first audio log players must head back to the entrance of the path. Once there, players have to use Halo Infinite's Grappleshot in order to get to this audio log. Aim at the cliffside with the overhead lights attached to it and it should pull a player up to a resting point
From here players can then use the grappling hook on the top of the cliff to finish the climb. Once atop the cliff, the audio log rests on some UNSC equipment overlooking the outpost. The key here will be using the AI scan to get a better idea of exactly where they need to aim.
Banished Audio Logs at Ransom Keep
The Banished are the primary antagonists in Halo Infinite and their audio logs add in some extra context and background to the world. The two audio logs at Ransom Keep are quite interesting and are located in the open-air storage part of the outpost and are relatively close together.
Banished Audio Log 1
The first Banished audio log is located right near some stacked tank tracks in the corner of the walled-in section. The audio log is located on the ground, lying against this short tower of tank parts.
Banished Audio Log 2
The second Banished audio log is nearby but inside the building players must enter in order to destroy one of the repairing portions of the base. It rests just inside the entrance of this building and along the left wall when players enter inside.
Spartan Core Location at Ransom Keep
Spartan Cores are an important piece of Halo Infinite and, fortunately, this one is relatively straightforward to locate. If players have already captured this outpost, then they would have already run past it as it rests right near to the southern fuel silo they had to destroy. This Spartan Core is right near the southern-most section of Ransom Keep and is located among a pile of UNSC supplies.
Halo Infinite is out now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
