In addition to the standard menu items, the game’s main menu or pause menu also features a “Materials” section. Here you can see the number of items you’ve found. Once you’ve opened this section, check the “Gallery” submenu to see 11 secret images and artworks. Unlocking these will earn you the “Archivist” achievement.
Images are added to the gallery using the same principle: you must launch your drone by pressing the “4” key and aim it at a hidden QR code. These codes are usually located near story tropes, but they’re impossible to see without a drone.

Once you’re offered the chance to try out a new gadget, a flying drone, drive (or walk) back to the tower where you left the detector. It’s to the left of the garage. Once you’re close, launch the drone by pressing the “4” key and fly upward. Go around the tower and look for a QR code on one of the back walls, near the top. Fly close enough for the drone to scan it, and you’ll get your first image.

At this point, you’ll visit a junkyard, where you’ll need to find a tow chain. From the junkyard, head back, don’t turn left, but go straight ahead. This path leads to the repeater. However, pay attention to the large advertising billboard on the left. Get closer and launch your drone to scan the QR code.

Once you’ve opened the grate blocking the escalator (to do this, you’ll need to push the crate down the escalator using your drone, as well as find the escalator key and use it on the panel to the left of the grate), head up. There’s a hole in the window to the left through which you can launch your drone. Do so.
To the left of the central structure (the wall with the image; essentially, every open area has one), look for a QR code that needs to be scanned.

Once you reach Ozersk, drive through the city to the square with the enormous statue. Launch your drone to the tallest building near the statue, which also has a large stone head. Just above and to the right of the head, on the outside wall of this building, you’ll find a QR code. Scan it to obtain a secret image.

Once you’ve dealt with the robot inside the hut where you lit the stove, exit through the attic and the neighboring building. To the left of the same house, there’s now an open gate leading toward the pier. Go through this gate, turn around, and look for another QR code in the tree on the right.

If you load this save, you’ll see a barn ahead, containing Father Ignat’s Elk. Turn around and head back. In front of the gate you entered through are several birch trees. One of them has a sign with the game’s final QR code.
