Scattered throughout Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart’s Ardolis Pirate Base level, you’ll find collectibles like Armor Pods, Gold Bolts, Spybots, Lorbs, and CraiggerBears. In this Rift Apart Ardolis Pirate Base guide, we’ll show you the location of every collectible in the level with maps and screenshots to make sure you don’t miss anything.
Armor changes Ratchet’s appearance and gives you a stat boost whether it’s equipped or not. Gold bolts put new skins on your weapons and unlock cheats. Spybots have intel about planets, but more importantly, will earn you a special weapon when you collect enough.
