Freeze Frame: All Camera Locations

Dense Patterning · upside-down building

Route requirement: Shift + roof-breaking ability

Find the upside-down building at the eastern edge of Dense Patterning. Approach from the street to its northwest and use the gravity surface to get onto the roof, keeping away from the doorway the camera watches.

Break the marked roof hatch with Ground Slam, then drop through the opening into the room behind the camera. Shut its lid before crossing the front of the lens.

Portable FBC office · near The Chasm

Route requirement: Timed power relay

The camera looks out through the glass-sided portable office near The Chasm. You need its rear door, not the front window.

Get electricity from the Power Core Station north of the camera in the Deserted Area. Carry it along the rooftop route and use the intermediate rooftop cube northeast of the camera to renew the relay. Take the charge from that cube to the rear-door power socket. Enter the opened door and close the lid.

Watchtower · below Zoe’s office

Route requirement: Ceiling loop

Start at the Watchtower Fast Travel Door and follow the Underground Supply Route stairs down. Enter the side storage room and climb the scaffolding toward the camera’s floor.

Do not pull up directly into its view. Climb through the next ceiling opening so you are above it, then use the rear opening to drop behind the camera. Close its lid. If you already triggered it while checking the loop, backtrack until it returns before trying the drop again.

Warehouse rooftop · near Central Supply

Route requirement: Reach + unlock a lower entrance

Reach the rooftop camera facing out through the open blue double doors. Let it spot you, then enter the building while it is absent.

Go downstairs, clear the Hiss encounter, and open the lower street exit from inside. Step out far enough to hear the reset click. Re-enter through that lower door and climb upstairs; this puts you behind the camera rather than jumping back into the doorway it watches.

Window-cleaning platform · near the museum

Route requirement: Shift + floating-platform route

Look up along the street near the Museum of Curiosities / Pulse Fitness. The target sits on a window-cleaning platform beside the building.

Use the gravity route farther along the street to reach the floating platforms. Jump between the platforms, using the height change to land on the cleaning platform behind the camera. Do not leap straight toward its red lens from the road.

Northern gravity wall · above the Parking Garage

Route requirement: Shift + Reach

At the northwestern gravity-anomaly buildings, Shift onto the sideways surface. Locate the camera in a corner along the wall; its red light helps you spot it.

Use Reach to get onto the higher roof behind it. Drop from that roof to the camera’s platform, landing on the rear side. The roof above is the bypass; walking along the visible front ledge triggers it.

Rooftop south of the Sinkhole

Route requirement: Multiple charge relays

The camera is inside a small rooftop structure with a powered back door. Start at the Power Core Station by the Evac Building / southeastern part of the zone.

Follow the street toward the camera. Relay the charge through the cube at the checkpoint barricade and the cube beside the exterior elevators beyond the Parking Lot. Use Reach and the nearby truck / platform route to get up to the roof, then charge the socket at the structure. Walk through the opened rear door to shut the lid.

If a charge expires, repeat the relay from a working source. Scout the rooftop ascent first so the timer is spent moving instead of searching.

Apartment rooftop · Railyard Street billboard

Route requirement: Open the elevator return route

Find the camera on the roof beside the Florida-holidays billboard, south of Railyard Street Station near the large Mold wall.

Let it photograph you and enter the building behind it. Go downstairs to the elevator, ride to street level and open the front exit. Walk out until the camera returns with a click. Then go back through the entrance, take the elevator up and use the stairs to reach its rear.

The nearby TV recording and chest are optional pickups; the necessary step is opening the return route and letting the camera respawn.

Nomad Avenue Station · subway

Route requirement: Ignite or Inferno

Enter Nomad Avenue Station from the street; the camera watches the corridor on your right as you descend. Explore past it while it is absent if it spots you.

Go down toward the station platform and use the connecting route on the other side. Burn the webbed barrier with Ignite or Inferno, then follow the door and passage around to the camera’s back. If the camera is still absent, retrace enough of the route to trigger its return before closing the lid.

Window-cleaning platform · south Sewer entrance

Route requirement: Power an exterior elevator

Outside the south Sewer entrance, look up behind the exit for the cleaning platforms. The elevator you need is west of the camera on the same street.

Carry a charge from the cube on the street south of the elevator and power it. Ride up, then use the raised ledges and cleaning platforms to cross over. Approach the final platform from the rear / higher side, away from the lens pointing out toward the street.

Island east of the Underpass Vendor

Route requirement: Reach beneath the island

Find the yellow-lit corridor on the northeastern island, with frozen enemies in front of its camera. Stay along the left edge and look below the platform for a Reach grapple point.

Use the underside route so you pass below the camera’s view. Clear any Hiss blocking the opening, then go through the hole. The gravity change brings you into the corridor behind the camera. Shut the lid before walking toward the frozen scene.

Island south of Tubes Island

Route requirement: Shift through the wall opening

The camera is in a wall opening on the island’s eastern side, beside Mold. Find the other opening across from it.

Go around to the western side and use Shift to stand on the gravity surface. Follow the red path to the upper opening and drop through it; with gravity changed, the fall carries you across to the opening behind the camera. Aim at the hole rather than jumping into the front of the lens. The aerial shortcut shown in some recordings is an alternative, not required.

Mold-covered construction building

Route requirement: Correct gravity layer + clear combat

Find the construction building with a camera looking through a small gap in the blue Mold. If the building is absent at the marked area, check the opposite gravity layer: The Unknown overlays areas in different orientations.

Enter the building from above and take the lit stairs down. Drop into the lower room, defeat the Mold ambush and let the barriers clear. The room gives access to the back of the camera; interact there rather than pushing through the outside fungus.

Wear’Em & Wash’Em · street-level shop

Route requirement: Open the rear garage

This laundromat is in The Unknown, not the Central laundromat puzzle. The camera faces the street through its front entrance.

Let it spot you, walk through the shop and enter the back garage. Hit the red garage-door button to open the rear access. Walk away until the flash / click signals a reset, then enter through the newly opened garage and approach the camera from behind.
