'''Dead Drops''' are short, encrypted audio recordings, found all over [[Empire City]] in ''[[Infamous]]'' and [[New Marais]] in ''[[Infamous 2]]''. In ''inFamous: Second Son '' they are called '''Audio Logs''', and are scattered across [[Seattle]].

In the first game, dead drops were attached to communication satellite dishes by the NSA agent [[John White]] as he investigated the terrorist organization known as the [[First Sons]]. While working for the Sons, John was ordered to set up a large number of unmonitored satellite dishes throughout the city, so he attached miniature audio drives to them to pass information along to his handlers. Unfortunately, due to John's disapearance following The Blast, the Dead Drops were never picked up by the NSA. Once [[Cole]] gains a decryption program for his all-purpose phone, he can travel the city and find all 32, hopefully learning something about his enemies along the way.

The Dead Drops provide a unique source to, among other things, the history of the First Sons, audio recordings of [[Kessler|Kessler's]] experiments, the relationship between Kessler and [[Sasha]], and last, but not least, the [[Ray Sphere]].

The drops don't play any part in the development of the story and Cole doesn't show any sign of retaining the information received by them.

There are 32 Dead Drops scattered through [[Empire City]]; 13 in the [[Neon]], 14 in the [[Warren]], and 5 in the [[Historic District]]. While they would have been hard to find without any help, the signals they let out creates a "pulse" that Cole easily can track with [[Radar Pulse]], pinpointing the general direction of a Dead Drop even though he's far from it.

A good way of finding them without the map below is to track them out during story- and side-missions, and if any is left ride the train rails and explore all the areas the train rails does not cover. A good thing is to write down where you found all the dead drops, in this way you know which islands the dead drops left would be on.

Cole before collecting Dead Drop.

In Empire City, dead drops were attached to communication satellite dishes by the NSA agent John White as he investigated the terrorist organization known as the First Sons. While working for the Sons, John was ordered to set up a large number of unmonitored satellite dishes throughout the city, so he attached miniature audio drives to them to pass information along to his handlers. Unfortunately, due to John's disappearance following The Blast, the Dead Drops were never picked up by the NSA. Once Cole gains a decryption program for his all-purpose phone, he can travel the city and find all 32, hopefully learning something about his enemies along the way.

The Dead Drops provide a unique source for, among other things, the history of the First Sons, audio recordings of Kessler's experiments, the relationship between Kessler and Sasha, and last, but not least, the Ray Sphere.

Through the last Dead Drop, "A message for John White." Cole learns that John was ordered back to the NSA by Director Houston but he plaintively refused as he still hadn't recovered the Ray Sphere.

The drops don't play any part in the development of the story and Cole doesn't show any sign of retaining the information received by them. Some seem to have been just made, such as the drop about the Voice of Survival's death. This may suggest that John had to make them on a timed basis, and thus, didn't have classified information all the time.

InFamous 2 Dead Drops

Dead Drops make a return in InFamous 2. Here instead of simply having to find satellite dishes Cole will have to find pigeons that have encrypted Thumb Drives tied to collars on their necks and knock them out with Blasts or Bolts. Unlike the first game you cannot locate them using your sonar, and messages may differ depending on karmic state imported from the original inFamous. They were created by Sebastian Wolfe, former First Sons scientist, spy, and Conduit expert originally to inform NSA agents Lucy Kuo and John White on the First Sons' and later Joseph Bertrand's activities. Like in inFamous, the drops serve the same function. They do not progress the story but they give valuable background info on the Bertrand, the First Sons, and various other factions and characters.
