# Gears of War: E-Day Collectibles and Completion Tracking ## Overview E-Day contains campaign exploration and upgrade-related systems. Online collectible checklists have reported different totals and some untested locations. This guide focuses on reliable completion tracking rather than presenting unsupported collectible coordinates. ## Track Your Campaign Progress Maintain a record of: - Current act - Current chapter - Difficulty - Explored areas - Optional objectives - Items collected - Upgrades unlocked - Unfinished activities Use in-game completion statistics whenever available. ## Before Leaving an Area Check the following: 1. Explore accessible side passages. 2. Inspect optional rooms. 3. Look behind major landmarks. 4. Review the map or objective log. 5. Confirm collected rewards registered. 6. Record inaccessible or unexplored routes. Some areas may become unavailable after major story transitions. ## Optional Objectives Community walkthroughs describe optional activities in larger campaign areas. Their exact locations and completion requirements must be checked individually. Where an optional objective appears in-game, confirm its reward before relying on information from a third-party checklist. ## Weapon Modifications The Coalition confirms weapon modifications in Campaign and Horde Siege. Track: - Weapons obtained - Available modifications - Upgrades unlocked - Upgrades equipped - Changes in weapon handling Weapon modifications can affect combat performance and functionality. Do not automatically apply Horde Siege Weapon Parts extraction rules to the Campaign. ## War Journal War Journal information can help track progress where supported. Check the interface before and after completing important objectives. Record: - Progress entries - Challenge completions - Reward notifications - Relevant campaign milestones Use the actual game interface to confirm whether an entry has been completed. ## Achievements Check the current Xbox or Steam achievement list for verified names and requirements. Distinguish: - Campaign achievements - Multiplayer achievements - Horde Siege achievements - Difficulty achievements - Exploration achievements - Challenge-related rewards Some requirements may depend on the selected mode. ## Cooperative Collectibles When playing cooperatively, verify how progress is credited. A pickup might apply to: - An individual player - The host - The current save - Multiple players Do not assume every collectible is shared automatically. Check the in-game progress screen. ## Completion Checklist Before finishing a campaign session: - Review completed objectives. - Check optional areas. - Record collected items. - Confirm upgrades. - Review achievements. - Check the War Journal. - Save progress where appropriate. ## Reliability Notes Exact collectible counts and coordinates must be confirmed using dependable E-Day-specific evidence. We do not present untested chapter lists or speculative locations as confirmed facts. ## Sources Official Game: https://www.gearsofwar.com/en-us/games/gears-of-war-eday/ Official Gameplay Updates: https://www.gearsofwar.com/en-us/news/e-day-gameplay-updates/ Additional Walkthrough Reference: https://www.neoseeker.com/gears-of-war-e-day/walkthrough
