Become a master detective and bring in every suspect with these Battlefield Hardline collectible locations, showing amateur sleuths where to find evidence and warrant suspects throughout the singleplayer story.
Traveling from Miami to L.A. and back again, Battlefield Hardline takes a slightly different tact in it’s solo campaign. Instead of pitting the player against an invading army, you’re forced to deal with criminals and evil corporations involved in a vast conspiracy. Along the way there are tons of elucidating pieces of evidence to discover with the new scanner tool.
As a cop, you’re also allowed to arrest suspects. During each episode, you’ll find certain enemies have warrants out for their arrest. Instead of shooting through every group of enemies, you’ll have the option to arrest targets and collect a reward for your trouble. See where to make arrests and grab evidence in our complete collectibles guide below.
All Warrants & Evidence Collectibles – Locations Guide
Note: Certain enemies have warrants out for arrest. They can be spotted with the scanner. Make sure to arrest, not kill, these particular criminals.
For help locating case files, bring up the scanner and look in the top left corner. There’s an arrow pointing the player towards the closest piece of evidence with a number indicating your distance.
Use the scanner while searching the locations listed here to make finding these collectibles much easier.
Episode 1: Back to School – Collectible Locations
Warrant #1: School – Scan the group of criminals that arrive outside the school in a car. One of them is your warrant target. Moving downstairs, you’ll find this white bald male standing in a set of double doors with his back turned to you. It’s part of the tutorial so you can’t miss him.
Evidence #1: School – Entering a room after a fire fight in the school interior, you’ll get an objective to investigate for evidence. Bring up the scanner and hold the interact button to scan the green document on the desk.
Evidence #2: School – The next piece of evidence is on the kitchen counter with the printer, to the right of the sink and fridge.

From there, turn right to spot another dock that is completely optional. On this tiny island, there’s a barrel in the mud with a number printed on the side.
