Gears of War: E-Day 100% Campaign Route – All Collectibles, Hard Cases, Supply Caches & Side Missions

If you want to finish Gears of War: E-Day without keeping four different location guides open, this is the route to use.

It combines the Campaign's four completion counters into a single chapter-by-chapter sweep:

Completion category	Total	Main achievement
Standard Collectibles	140	Memories From E-Day
Hard Cases	125	Relax. I'm the Map.
Supply Cache stations	36	War Journal completion counter
Secondary Objectives	17	Side Piece

That is 318 tracked locations/objectives across the Campaign.

If you are also going for For Whom The Bell Tolls, start the run on Insane. That achievement requires completing the Campaign on Insane while also completing the side missions and finding the hidden items. The individual collectible and side-mission achievements do not require Insane.

Supply Cache warning: the 36 Supply Cache stations tracked in the War Journal are not the same thing as the Quartermaster achievement. Quartermaster is tied to unlocking the eligible weapons, Tactical Gear and equipment that can be stored in the Campaign cache system. Open every cache station on this route, but also pick up/stow new equipment when you encounter it.

Current tracking issue: some players are still reporting War Journal totals that remain one short even when the detailed list appears complete, especially in Acts 2 and 4. Check your totals at the end of every Act so you know where a problem started.

The route below keeps the detailed location wording from our existing Collectible and Hard Case guides. In the large open chapters, clear each route phase completely before advancing the story; that is safer than trying to bounce between categories one item at a time.

Act 1 – 13 Collectibles, 0 Hard Cases, 0 Supply Caches, 0 Secondary Objectives

Act 1 is the cleanest section of the run: there are no Hard Cases, Supply Cache stations or Secondary Objectives yet, so you only need to stay on top of the standard collectibles.

Act 1, Chapter 1: Emergence

Chapter target: 3 Collectibles · 0 Hard Cases · 0 Supply Caches · 0 Secondary Objectives

Collectibles

Collectible	Where / What to Do
Monster Jaw	After the first Wretch encounter and the short scene that follows, you regain control back on the street. Before moving deeper into the city, look down beside the newspaper kiosk/newsstand on the right-hand side. The Monster Jaw is on the ground there.
Bloody Transit Worker's Helmet	Continue through the maintenance tunnels until you pass the first Emergence Hole and reach the next corridor. Watch the left-hand side for a small side room/opening with a fallen transit worker and a flashlight. Enter the room and search beside the body for the helmet before continuing through the tunnel.
Front Page of the Kalona Times	After Marcus helps the civilians trapped beneath the rubble, return to the street and enter the Café & Bakery instead of following the objective straight on. Go through the door beside/behind the counter into the back kitchen and search the counter area for the newspaper.

Act 5 War Journal check

Before moving on, confirm Act 5: 12/12 Collectibles, 5/5 Hard Cases, 4/4 Supply Caches.

Final 100% Check

When the credits finish, the Campaign totals should be:

Category	Final total
Collectibles	140/140
Hard Cases	125/125
Supply Cache stations	36/36
Secondary Objectives	17/17

If one counter is short, do not replay random chapters. Use the Act total first, then use the chapter counts in this guide to narrow the missing item down.

For a missing standard collectible, the War Journal gives you the cleanest chapter-level clue. For Hard Cases, use the Act total and compare the Hard Case rewards/mods at a Supply Cache against the relevant Act guide. For Secondary Objectives, the only possible chapters are Hold the Line, Last Foothold, Hope and Ruin, and Tough as Nails.

If a counter is visibly wrong despite the detailed list showing everything found, you may be hitting the current Campaign tracking bug rather than a genuinely missed location.
