Dead Drop Mission Objectives

- Collect Vertigo’s Dead Drop: Find Vertigo’s Dead Drop at the Basilica
- Search Vertigo’s Apartment: Search Vertigo’s Apartment for clues to his whereabouts
- Find and make contact with Vertigo: Locate the tunnel in the Library Gardens.
- Recover Vertigo’s Intel: Locate Vertigo’s Office

Collect Vertigo’s Dead Drop
As the objectives state, the Dead Drop is at the Basilica. If you like a stealthy approach, there is a tunnel that leads from the Café du Matin right into the basilica’s ground floor, where you can find the Basilica Vestri Safe Key right next to a gramophone. There is also a charge satchel in the same room.
Take the nearby staircase up one level, where you will find the office with the green safe. Use either the Basilica Vestri Safe Key or the charge satchel to open the safe. You receive the Collectible: Personal Letters: A Lost Soul Trembles.
Leave the office and go back to the staircase to climb the Basilica’s tower. Interact with the painting at the top of the stairs to find Vertigo’s Dead Drop.
Search Vertigo’s Apartment
Vertigo’s Apartment is at a very confusing central apartment complex in the center of the map. You will know that you have reached the apartment when you see things lying on the floor as if someone had searched the place. Walk around the whole apartment to find a “squeaky floorboard” that you can interact with. This will lead to the objective “Locate the tunnel entrance in the Library Gardens”.
Find and make contact with Vertigo
To Find and make contact with Vertigo, one has to locate the tunnel entrance in the Library Gardens first. The library gardens are in the north of the map. Interact with the Library’s Pavillon to find the tunnel entrance. Follow the corridor and enter the first room to the right to find Vertigo. The alternative entrance is in the cellar of the restaurant where Philo Beck is.
Disrupt the Nazis’ Investigation
You will get the hint that there is a library while picking up the Classified Document: “Use the Library”. Once you get close enough to the library in the north of the map, the library will be highlighted. The Optional Objective is to Find 3 Stolen Resistance Files in the Library.
The three documents that need to be found are “Hidden Secrets” Collectibles:
-> Police Report: #222
-> Police Report: #223
-> Police Report: #224
Dead Drop Mission Collectibles
Personal Letters
A Lost Soul Trembles
The Personal Letter: A Lost Soul Trembles can be found in the Basilica Vestri Safe during the “Collect Vertigo’s Dead Drop” Objective. The safe is in the office on the second floor, just above the ground floor. You can either find the key on the ground floor next to the gramophone or use a charge satchel, which can also be found on the ground floor.
Missing You Dearly
“Missing You Dearly” is a personal letter found on the ground floor of Vertigo’s office. Look for a small courtyard at the back to find it.
Surrounded by Idiots
The library is to the north of the map. Enter through the main entrance and you will find this Personal Letter on the reception desk.
A Withering Tree
There is a restaurant at the main road, just where the main gate to Vertigo’s office is and where you can find Philo Beck. Look at the tables outside to find this Personal Letter.
A Nephew’s Concern
This Personal Letter can be found just behind the library. Someone left it on a bench.
Classified Documents
Findings Report
In the southwest center of the map, there is a horseshoe-shaped house. In front of it is a small campsite with a small wooden building with a green tarp. Here, in the construct with the green tarp is this Classified Document.
Orders to Follow
This Classified Document is on the ground floor of Vertigo’s Office in the northwest of the map.
Use the Library
This Classified Document is inside a house just east of the Central Apartments complex. On the ground floor, there is a safe that requires the “Old Town Safe Key”, which one can find in the bedroom just above the safe. This document is inside.
Tightening Security
Just in front of the heavily guarded building that holds Vertigo’s office, there is a restaurant, where you can also find Philo Beck. On the top floor, there is this Classified Document on one of the tables.
Hidden Items
Police Report: #222
This Hidden Item – Police Report #223 is part of the files of the Objective: Disrupt the Nazis’ Investigation at the library in the north. You can find it in the west of the library on the ground floor.
Police Report: #223
This Hidden Item – Police Report #223 is part of the files of the Objective: Disrupt the Nazis’ Investigation at the library in the north. You can find it on the top floor inside a little alcove.
Police Report: #224
This Hidden Item – Police Report #224 is part of the files of the Objective: Disrupt the Nazis’ Investigation at the library in the north. It’s in the office below the library’s main entrance.
Stone Eagles
1 – Library
The first Stone Eagle is sitting on top of a chimney of a house just east of the library. I spotted it while following the outside wall north and then looked to the west towards the library.
Workbenches
Pistol Workbench
In the northeast of the map is another one of many tunnel entrances. Inside this tunnel is a locked gate. Open it with the Bolt Cutter and interact with the workbench in the room.
SMG Workbench
The SMG Workbench is at the ground floor of Vertigo’s office. Look for a locked area with a padlock. Destroy the padlock and enter the room to get to the workbench.
Additional Info:
One Safe Key isn’t listed in this guide because the safe contains ammunition. You’ll find it at the Central Apartments, located in the center of the Dead Drop Map. Search the enemies around the Central Apartments complex—one of them will have the Central Apartments Key.
