This checklist covers all 140 standard campaign collectibles listed in launch-window guides for Gears of War: E-Day, with each item grouped by act and chapter. Use the chapter counts as a progress check, then match the item names and landmarks below. Hard Cases, Supply Cache locations, and Secondary Objectives have separate counters and are not included in the 140. Location descriptions are guide-reported rather than independently tested; the chapter-by-chapter list was compiled by the E-Day Wiki from published guides.

At-a-glance chapter counts

The act totals and chapter splits below are reported by the E-Day Wiki in guides updated October 3, 2026. The counts add up to 140 standard collectibles.

Act Chapter counts Act total Notable caution

2 5 / 27 / 5 / 0 / 1 38 Chapter 2 is a large district sweep; some items are story- or objective-dependent.
3 5 / 6 / 14 / 3 / 5 / 3 36 Chapter 3 includes optional routes; the final item is at the Act 3–4 transition.
4 13 / 2 / 14 / 5 / 2 / 5 41 Collect both Chapter 2 items at the train stop and tracks before moving on.
5 1 / 3 / 0 / 5 / 3 12 Chapter 5 item names reveal ending information.

How to use the checklist for cleanup

  1. Check the chapter count in the index, then compare every item name in that chapter rather than relying on the count alone.
  2. Before leaving a district, completing an optional route, moving on from a train stop, or triggering a boss, check any listed landmark that lies on the current route.
  3. Keep the game’s counters separate: standard Collectibles are distinct from Hard Cases, Supply Cache locations, and Secondary Objectives. The campaign collectibles guide describes chapter replay as a cleanup option, but replay behavior is not independently verified here.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
