Halo Infinite has a lot of audio logs for players to find. There are audio logs for the UNSC, Banished, and the Spartans that made it to Zeta Halo. Audio logs from each faction are broken into separate sections, which will help you track down the ones you are missing. Some of these audio log locations are easy to find while others are dotted out in the middle of nowhere.
There are dozens of audio logs in Halo Infinite and all of them fall into a few categories: UNSC, Banished, and Spartan. Within these categories are sub-sections like Escharum’s Testimony or The Prisoner.
For the most part, it appears as if the audio logs are unlocked in a specific sequence, regardless of what order you pick them up in. For example, the Infinity’s Approach series under the UNSC are at each of the Forward Operating Bases. The fifth one you find will always be called Zero Hour, but you might find it at FOB Delta and not FOB Bravo. Keep this in mind as you track them down using the following guide.
One tip for finding the audio logs to fill up your database is that you can hear the recording beeping as you get near them. Also, use the scanner function to highlight nearby collectibles. Audio logs will be a yellow color.
Use the following links to jump to the section of audio logs you need to find:
Recovered Files 01: This audio log is automatically unlocked during Warship Gbraakon – no need to find it!
Recovered Files 02: This audio log is automatically unlocked during the Foundation.
Recovered Files 03: This audio log is automatically unlocked during the mission, The Nexus. After you find the room with the three terminals that need Power Seeds to activate the lift, check the Database tab to find this entry unlocked.
Recovered Files 04: This audio log is automatically unlocked during the mission, Repository. You will receive it after a major cutscene with the Weapon.

The Prisoner 01: Found during the second mission, Foundation. When you reach the Banished elevator that needs a power seed, follow the waypoint to find it in the room surrounded by cylix. Beside the power seed will be the audio log.
The Prisoner 02: Another Prisoner audio log is found inside The Tower. This audio log is tucked behind a pillar on the right-hand side, one floor up from where the gravity lift deposited you. It’s right beside a Kinetic ammo crate.
The Prisoner 03: Inside the Excavation Site main building. Search one of the wings of the building to find the audio log beside a Rocket Launcher.

In this middle room you’ll find some Sentinels and a weapon rack. The recording is on the ground to the left of the door.
The Prisoner 06: This audio log is found during the mission, Repository. You will need to power up an elevator with two Power Seeds to reach an upper level where you must interact with a terminal. A cutscene with the Weapon will play. When the cutscene is over, the small door in front of you will open and a Brute with a Plasma Cannon will attack you. Defeat him and go through the large door on the left. The audio log is on a table beside a hologram of the Halo ring.
The Prisoner 07: This audio log is found during the mission, House of Reckoning. In the first mock-UNSC battlefield, go to the right to spot the recording next the main building by the ramp.
