Collectible 39: Jacinto Sentinel Newspaper
After defeating all enemies in the courtyard continue on to manually open a locked gate, which leads you back outside and into plenty of more Locust to kill. Once the enemies have been taken care of, proceed to the right where there is an opening between the walls, behind the wall to the right the Jacinto Sentinel Newspaper is located here behind cover.
Collectible 40: COG Tags
Marcus and Dom have temporarily separated as one sweeps the street whilst the other covers from the garage. After eliminating all enemies the two regroup at the end of the street. Once regrouped a Grinder lurks just ahead, once eliminated you should see a Hammer of Dawn on the floor in front of you, Anya will also point out that the Hammer of Dawn satellites are online. Proceed forward taking out all enemies, which should include some Locust Drones, a Reaver and a Mauler. Once eliminated, continue forward and and as the path is blocked, cut through the opening in the building and out the other side, immediately to your left there will be another opening, which is also just to the left of a bench, enter and you will find the COG Tags to add to your collection.
Even if you miss the bit mentioned above and continue on forward, you will trigger the next chapter, though fortunately the game does allow you to backtrack to retrieve the COG Tags should you have missed it the first time around. The rather impressive and destructive view of Jacinto should stand out considerably, and if you see this before collecting the COG Tags, then you should know to backtrack just a bit as the the COG Tag is right before this, just head back past the cars to your right and continue on towards the building. You will see the previously mentioned bench to your right here, to the left of this is the whole in the building, enter it and here you will find the COG Tags for your collection.
