*After completing Mission 2: New World in the story campaign, you’ll be able to visit the safehouse where the game is at any time. Simply go back to the Main Menu and select the “Campaign” section again, and select “Go To Safehouse”.
Does the game save each Collectibles you collect?: Yes, the game will automatically save the Collectibles you just collected if you picked up the Collectible, so you don’t have to play to the end of the mission.
