All Collectibles in Welcome to the Wilds (Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2)

Where to find every Secret and the Purity Seal in the opening deathworld mission, with exact pickups.

Where to find every Secret and the Purity Seal in the opening deathworld mission, with exact pickups.

Welcome to the Wilds (level code 1 FVE1) is the first mission in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, a rotting jungle deathworld overrun by Nurgle corruption. It holds five collectibles in total: four Secrets and one Purity Seal. Each sits off the main objective path, so you have to leave the glowing waypoint route to grab them.

Quick answer: The mission contains 4 Secrets and 1 Purity Seal. Pick up the waterfall Grenade Boost, the cracked-wall Machine Spirit, the thorn-tree Purity Seal, the barrel-gated secret near the tree ramp, and the Munitions Boost in the final arena.

Secret 1/4: Grenade Boost behind the waterfall

Soon after the level begins you reach the edge of a green jungle canyon. Drop down into it and follow the path toward the toxic green waterfall. Open the automap to confirm your position under the secret marker if you lose your bearings.

Walk straight through the waterfall stream into the hidden alcove behind it. The Grenade Boost sits inside, and grabbing it triggers the “You discovered a Grenade Boost!” banner.

Secret 2/4: Machine Spirit in the first cave

Carry on into the first cave system, a passage lined with gore. Watch the left side of the cavern for a cracked stone wall.

Shoot the cracked rock to break it open. Behind it is the Machine Spirit upgrade, which displays “Machine Spirit: Praise the Omnissiah!” on collection.


Seal 1/1: Purity Seal in the spiked tree grove

Further on you enter a forest filled with big spiked trees. The single Purity Seal floats above the central tree, reached by climbing the red thorns that wrap around its trunk.

Jump onto the first red thorn protrusion sticking out of the central tree’s trunk.
Jump from thorn to thorn, following them as they spiral upward around the tree.
Leap across the outer thorn branches to grab the floating Purity Seal. The screen reads “YOU DISCOVERED A PURITY SEAL!” and “Surface cleaned a Purity Seal!”

Secret 3/4: Barrel gate near the tree ramp

This one needs setup before you can reach it. Outside the overgrown cathedral structure in the jungle, you first open the path with a shot, then double back to it later.

Position yourself to the stone building’s left and peer through the tight opening between it and the cliff face. Fire at the explosive barrel you can see within to blow the passage open.

Follow the main objective route forward along the illuminated waypoint track until you climb the inclined fallen tree trunk that acts as a ramp.

At the top of the ramp, turn around and enter the cave alcove that your barrel shot opened earlier. Grab the yellow secret pickup inside.

Secret 4/4: Munitions Boost in the final arena

Push through the canyon until you arrive at the open arena where allied Death Korps of Krieg Troopers are deployed for the final fight. Before the battle swallows your attention, deal with the secret.

From the arena platform, turn left toward the rock wall behind the defensive barrier. There is an unblocked cave tunnel in that wall leading to Munitions Boost: Lock and Load!

Grab this pickup before the arena fight ramps up, since the horde that swarms the extraction point can make it hard to break away and explore afterward.


How to confirm you got everything

Each pickup pops a “SECRET DISCOVERED” or Purity Seal banner the moment you touch it. The on-screen counter tracks your totals, so watch the Secrets reading climb through 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4, with the Seal showing 1/1 once the Purity Seal is claimed.

When all five are collected, the mission is fully cleared for collectibles. The level completion screen shows your secrets-found tally against the total, confirming a clean 4/4 Secrets and the Purity Seal before you board the Valkyrie out.
