Hidden Orbs are recurring collectibles in the Crackdown series. As the name of them implies, they are primarily located in secluded areas such as alleyways and inside of buildings. Collecting them will contribute to each of the player's skills, managing to collect them all in each game will reward the player with achievements for each respectable game in the series.
The counterpart to hidden orbs are the agility orbs featured in the game.
