Preamble

In this guide you will find the locations of all collectible items in Gulman 5 – Instruments, Runestones, Fuel Canisters and Fuses.

Instruments

  4. In the ruins south of the western temple, on top of the column.
  5. In the brown bunker east of the huge rock next to the dockyard.
  6. Military base, southeast guard tower.
  7. Military base, in the small building next to the garage, in a locker in the room with the radio.

“Unlimited Instruments” Glitch

There’s a way to collect a seemingly infinite amount of Instruments, thus being able to upgrade your weapons to a ridiculous extent.

First of all, you’ll need a clean start of the game. This means no checkpoints/saved games should be present. The best way to do this is either reinstalling the game or deleting all your saves manually from the game’s folder.

Start a new game and collect one or more Instruments avoiding any checkpoints; DO NOT USE the Instruments you’ve collected!

A quick and easy route:

  1. Pick up your first Instrument from the boat in front of you,
  2. Head towards the building to your left, pick up the second Instrument from the scaffolding.
  3. Jump down, head towards the ruins, reach the top of the pillar to get the third Instrument.
  4. Run to the nearby brown bunker across the lake to pick up the fourth Instrument from inside.

Note: So basically, 1-2-4-5 if you’re using my map.

Then, let your character die (both tanks can do it easily), reload the last checkpoint (which is the start of the new game – that’s why it’s important not to have any other saves!)

You’ll notice that upon reloading the checkpoint, all previously acquired Instruments are still present but you can collect them once again – an oversight by the developer.

If you grind this method you can easily collect a huge amount of Instruments. By the way, this method works with all other collectibles as well, but in all honesty, collecting anything other than Instruments makes no sense. You can collect the runestones if you want to be able to enter the two ancient temples sooner, but it doesn’t really matter.

The important thing is that you shouldn’t trigger any checkpoints and that you should only use the Instruments once you’re done with the grind, because purchased weapon upgrades do reset.

As a final note, it’s also worth mentioning that with around 200 damage you can already one-shot the soldiers with the assault rifle, so from that point on, the only feasible upgrade would be increasing the damage of the sniper rifle in order to deal massive damage to the final boss later on.
