Bonus Evidence

Bonus evidence are items found in missions that can be recorded with the smartphone.

Description
Bonus evidence exists throughout Redacre and the Maze. They consist of objects TBC members can record to further prove all the weird things happening in Redacre. These objects are typically red in color and are sometimes hidden out of sight. The number of bonus evidence items in a mission will vary. For each bonus evidence item collected, players will receive an additional 15XP at the completion of the mission (before the Team Multiplier). Bonus evidence items are usually related to CHORUS in some way.

Bonus evidence items will spawn in various locations throughout the game. Some locations spawn bonus evidence more consistently than others. Bonus evidence is denoted by its distinct TV-static overlay like evidence recorded during missions. The player needs to be close enough to the object to see the TV-static effect for the bonus evidence to be successfully recorded - usually within a few feet. Once recorded, the object will make a bright flash, the overlay will disappear, and a notification will appear informing the player the evidence was recorded. This notification also includes how many bonus evidence items have been recorded out of the total number of bonus evidence items in the current mission.

Journals are awarded randomly but are more likely to be awarded if the player collects a lot of Bonus Evidence.

Types of Bonus Evidence
There are many types of bonus evidence items that exist in missions. Bonus evidence items can appear throughout the map in various locations and positions. It's common to find the same item multiple times in a single mission throughout houses, outside, and in the Maze.

Trivia

 * The smallest number of regular bonus evidence items (not including any additional BE granted from objectives like Dance Fever or Deliver Parents) in a mission is 3; the largest is 27.
 * Each page collected during the Recover the CHORUS Binder objective counts as one bonus evidence item. Players are led to the page locations by Dax's damaged drone after the drone is repaired. These items count towards the total Bonus Evidence displayed on the Team Info menu.
 * Similarly to Recover The Chorus Binder objective, each spot of blood cleaned during the Bag Up The Dead Bird objective counts as one bonus evidence item. The blood spots appear between the body of the dove and the cutting board and can be cleaned with Kitchen Cleaner. The bloodspots cleaned count towards the total Bonus Evidence displayed on the Team Info menu.
