    Doom has over 200 collectibles (79 Secets, 49 Data Logs, 36 Elite Guards, 26 Collectible Doll Models, 12 Rune Trails, 12 Field Drones, 13 Automaps). All collectibles are saved immediately when picked up. Collecting everything will reward you with more than 10 achievements. I have created 100% collectibles guides for each mission. In this guide I will only link to the Data Logs.

    If you are interested in the complete guides containing links to every single collectible you can find the playlist here.

    For this Achievement you have to collect the 49 Data Logs in the Game. Data Logs are tracked in the Codex Menu when you hit the cn_back button. You can get Data Logs via chapter select at any time.

    Hatred ProphetI was missing Rev 2 but I kept getting confused because my Hell levels weren't tracking the data logs. The combination of your video guide with the text descriptions was quite helpful.

    MozambiqueDrillI had all codex entries but Historian hadn't popped.
    After doing the snapmap achievement (not sure if doing that bit is relevant) I opened up campaign again and chose to replay the 1st level UAC, 2 seconds later Historian popped.

    SabanataCan comfirm MozambiqueDrill's method worked for me when the achievement wasn't unlocking. Achievement never popped at first but going to the snapmap menu screen then loading the first level on my cleared save made it pop up.

    Powerpyx made a video series of all collectibles (secrets, collectibles, logs, guards, cells, drones, trials) so just stick with the guide and you should be good.

    Here's the link for the first mission:
