They are also needed to obtain 100% game completion and to unlock “Dedicated Soldier”. In addition to the collectibles you will also have to do the 18 optional objectives and recover 15 weapon parts for 100% completion. See below for a link to an objectives guide & weapon part guide.
None of the collectibles in this game are missable. You can get missing items at any time via mission select. There is a collectible counter for each mission which shows exactly how many items of each type you have found. In the main menu of the campaign you can see your total collectible progress.
Everything is saved automatically and instantaneously when you pick it up. You can return to the title screen without having to reach the next checkpoint and if you die, you don’t have to pick it up again. All objects are picked up by simply walking over them. There is no need to press any button.
The best way to collect them would be to kill all enemies of a mission and then backtrack to the starting area. That way you don’t have to worry about anyone shooting at you.
