Gears of War: E-Day Act 2 Collectibles – All 38 Locations

Act 2 contains 38 standard collectibles and is where the Gears of War: E-Day collectible hunt gets much larger. Chapter 2 opens into a broader area, so it is much easier to walk past an item while following the main objective.

This page tracks the standard collectibles only. Hard Cases and Secondary Objectives are separate completion categories; see our full E-Day collectibles overview for how they fit into 100% completion.

Act 2 Collectible Checklist

If your total is short, start with Chapter 2. It contains by far the largest share of Act 2's collectibles and is also the easiest place to miss something because of the wider map.

Hard Cases and Secondary Objectives are intentionally kept out of this page so the standard collectible checklist stays readable. We will publish their exact Act 2 route separately once the full route has been cross-checked end to end.
