Audio Logs

Audio Log

Audio Logs are collectable items in Red Faction: Armageddon that provide lore surrounding current and past events of the game's story. Logs can be identified by their light blue beam above the object.

There are 47 audio logs in total. To earn the Chronicler achievement, only 40 logs need to be collected by the player. Once an audio log is found, it can be later listened to through the game's "Extras" menu.

In addition to the 37 audio logs, you also retrieve 10 additional audio logs relating to Noella's archivist data.

Armageddon

Audio Log 06 Last day in uniform tomorrow. Don't know how I feel about that. The Red Faction is all I've known my whole life... but I made a promise to Marie. She worries to much.

And we will be triumphant. Guide Acquired by playing through the level.

We're Not Alone

Bastion Defences

Audio Log 27 The kid blames himself for what happened. It ain't his fault. But the Generals don't see it that way...somebody has to take the blame, and it sure as shit won't be them.

Guide Immediately after the cutscene with Luther where he tells you how to get the power cells, the audio log is in the tube-like structure you go through.

Audio Log 16 We've run some preliminary surface tests and the results are...well, they're not good. The storms are out of control and show no signs of stopping.

Guide After exiting the administration building, a Monolith will spawn. Behind the Monolith is the steps upwards to continue onwards, if you walk past the steps down to the right hand side you will comes across the audio log as well as salvage and ammo.

Audio Log 17 This is bullshit. I've explained to them over and over that we can fix the Terraformer, but they just sit on their asses. It's like they don't want us to move back to the surface. Probably making too much money keeping us down here... Guide Immediately after the cutscene with the dying corporeal, theres some stairs to your left and a chain fence on your right, go up the stairs and look for an entrance to a room where a big claw like machine is in the middle, on the bottom floor of that room is the audio log.

Infection

On The Run

Audio Log 31 These pipes aren't looking good...Too much condensation building up on the outside. Shit rusts a lot faster since the Terraformer blew.

You have to exit the LEO to get to it.

Audio Log 29 We just left them there...Dozens of people waiting for rescue. Relying on us...and we just...drove away. Left them to die. Every time I close my eyes I can see their faces. Angry.

The Red Faction

Relay Stations

Audio Log 07 First half of the payment has been deposited. He's scheduled to arrive early evening. Hale says he's not to be harmed until the job is over. Gonna be hard not to shoot the bastard in the back of the head...but at least the Masons are finally gonna get what's coming to them. Guide Right after the Rail Driver is unlocked, the log is sitting directly ahead of it.

Audio Log 34 Tomorrow. Tomorrow all our dreams will be realized...and his nightmare begins. He has no idea what horrors lie ahead...Tomorrow, my children - we claim our destiny. Guide After passing through the turbulent wind section of the level, you go down a bridge to destroy the third tower.

Marauder Defenses

Audio Log 03 We are now 26 hours and counting since our last contact with the colonists. I think it's time to assume the worst. The Chancellor has begun contingency planning with the top generals. Whatever Red Faction's plan is, we know it will result in high casualties. We are ready for it. If they want a war, we'll give them one. Guide Just as Kara informs Darius that the first generator is up and running, you will be at a bridge crossing with several paths. Instead of going down to the right where the game wants you to go, go straight on up and over the bridge in front of you. The audio log is on the other side with some salvage and ammo.

Audio Log 04 Something hit Omega station last night. I've never seen anything like it. Bodies torn apart...flesh burned to the bone. Nobody can prove it, but I know Red Faction are behind this. They've gone too far. I'm going to advise the Chancellor to authorize Project Centurion. Guide After defeating the Behemoth and Wraiths to remove the barrier and continue, you are presented with the next objective to destroy the bridge.

Older Enemies

Audio Log 18 I...I was wrong. This wasn't the Red Faction. It never was. Something has been...awakened. Something that's been here for a long...long time. We should have known better. We were to focused on what we wanted to believe...We've been overrun. The Chancellor is missing. Half our forces are dead. The rest won't survive the week. We planned for the wrong war. And now...now, it's to late. Guide This audio log is at the start of the level just after you walk down the steps as you are talking to Kara over the radio.

Audio Log 19 Lab reports came back on one of the bugs we brought in...and...well something has to be wrong. There are distinct genetic similarities between these creatures and the Ultor Plague from 2075. No one knows what this means, but until we do, I suggest we keep it to ourselves. Guide After walking along the lengthy bridge/catwalk that you have to repair, and also dodge Tentacles that come out of the wall, you'll enter into a hallway (about halfway along the hallway a tentacle spawns in the window gap) the audio leg is to your left in this hallway.

Guide Right before you cross the bridge where the Berserker charges at you, a bunch of Creepers come towards you. Just on the left of the area beside a computer console is the audio log.

The Road Less Travelled

Audio Log 26 The design is flawless. Eight relays feeding into a central geothermal reactor that powers the repulsor beam, that in turn churns the magma. It's literally powering itself. Forever. Publicly, the machine is simply an experiment in renewable energy...It's a pity no one will ever know its true purpose... Guide After the first portion of riding the barge is over and you have to disable the forcefield preventing the barge moving further, you get off and go up the path into a structure, on the right as you enter is the audio log.
