Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 released on June 4, 2021, becoming the sixth entry in the Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise. As things stand, the game is the most critically acclaimed entry in the Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise, with a current Metascore of 74. This puts it above the series' usual lackluster 50-60 marks. Contracts 2 continues the series' tradition of offering huge maps for players to explore. They can find perfect spots for long-range shots, infiltrate enemy bases, or complete bounties.

Finding sniping spots and infiltrating bases isn't all that players can do in the game's levels, however. Each map has 5 or 10 collectibles hidden within. These collectibles offer a reward for players who fully explore each map, as they often offer an interesting short story or further insight into a target. In the pictures below, the collectible is located at the white dot within the blue cursor. The quoted descriptions are unlocked within the game when the collectible is found.
The game's first collectible doesn't make things easy for players, as it's located in an enemy encampment. There are usually two enemies next to the collectible talking about their children, hinting to the player that they're likely to give up information if interrogated. The collectible sits on the upper section of the base, on top of a crate outside of the building.
"Once upon a time, there was a boy and a girl who lived with their father and step-mother. The woman came up with an idea that the boy and his father should compete in gathering firewood - the one who gathers less is to be beheaded by the other. The boy collected more of it, but the father couldn't stand it, so he stole some of his son's branches. In the end the boy was killed yet he came back as a bulbul bird, who sang to his sister. The bulbul never got home again."
Muhhamad Trindaz, The Archer, is one of the toughest collectibles to find on this list. It's located underground in a cave that has enemy bases at both of its entry points. The collectible can be founding leaning up against a brown pot.
"Once upon a time there was a great warrior, who could kill two lions with one arrow. His name was Muhammad Tirandaz and the truth was that he killed mice, not lions. Once he was summoned to the king's court to defend the palace from an impending enemy attack. The King offered him the horse to help him reach the enemy army faster. Tirandaz, not wanting to admit that he couldn't ride, had his legs tied together under the horse's belly, telling the servants that they were not smart enough to understand his sophisticated tactics. His absolute lack of skills and weird behavior scared the enemy army so much they fled."
The Story of the Wolf Bride is another tricky one to collect, as it's in the heart of an enemy base. The collectible is also quite tough to find, as it's partially submerged in sand, surrounded by broken pots.

"Once upon a time, there was a wealthy man who was told that his son will die due to being torn to pieces by a wolf. The man isolated his young son, provided him with private education and kept him isolated until he was ready to get married. The wedding festivals lasted for a week. As soon as the bride and the groom were left alone, the woman turned into a wolf and tore her partner into pieces. Then she turned back into herself. She had no idea how it happened and sat by his body till morning. This story is about fate always finding the way to happen."
Ronald Payne's Notebook is located in the same base as the first collectible, The Boy Who Became A Bulbul. Players can find the notebook at the end of the pier, on top of a light brown crate.
"Ronald Payne's notebook. One of the pages says: What is it with these people? They are afraid of the raindrop. They think they're tough, but they wouldn't last a moment in the British Military, let alone in Iraq. That was a f*****g war. Yes, we were pushed to make some gruesome stuff back in there. And later we were banished by our country for the so-called "war crimes". Ridiculous. Betrayed by what we fought."
Novikov's Notebook is found on the map's other pier, which players can swim to from the pier with Ronald Payne's Notebook. Be careful when swimming, though, as Raven takes a surprisingly long time to regain his breath and will be unable to use his weapons if spotted. The notebook is on a table just next to the pier.
"Novikov's notebook. One of the pages says: I'm so excited I'm about to meet a guy of that caliber! Hellström is an absolute f*****g genius! With his skill and experience, I will definitely be able to cause some serious distributions. I hope he will live up to his legend."
