Chirpers are audio logs that you’ll find throughout Atomic Heart. They are a type of collectible, and each of them reveals facts about the world. Some of the stories speak of a world prior to the disaster, while others are specific facts that have nothing to do with the main story. Collecting all of them also unlocks the Burning Ears achievement.
Chirpers are quite easy to miss. They look like golden pocket watches, and some of them are holed up in tricky locations. Fortunately for you, this guide contains the locations of all the Chirpers in the game. Let’s begin!
