Act 4 is the biggest in Gears of War: E-Day, with the maximum collectibles spread across locations. In this Act, Bravo Squad pushes into the endgame, and the environments get bigger and a lot more intense. Gears of War: E-Day Act 4 has 41 collectibles across six chapters, ranging from ones you get automatically to ones you have to grab in a narrow time window before a train pulls away.
How to Find Collectibles Location in Gears of War: E-Day Act 4
Same rules as always: Listen for the COG Omen audio stinger when you're exploring, and use your Tac-Com (LB) to highlight nearby collectibles. In the semi-open-world chapters, items also appear on your map once you're close enough.
One thing specific to Act 4: Don't rush the train section in Chapter 2. There's a time-sensitive collectible there. More on that below.
Act 4 Collectibles Location in Gears of War: E-Day
We hope you have already acquired all collectibles in Gears of War: E-Day Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3. Act 4 requires you to stay focused. The open-world chapters here are dense, and a couple of collectibles are tied to side missions or story triggers, so rushing through will cost you.
Here is the exact location of all collectibles in Act 4 Chapters 1-6:
Chapter 1: Hope and Ruin - 13 Collectibles Location

Now, we can move to the last and final act of the game. Here are all Act 5 collectibles and how to collect them in Gears of War: E-Day.
Ensure not to miss the train stop in Chapter 2. The COG Tags of Sergeant Aman Landry are the one time-pressured collectible in Act 4. Get off the train when it stops and grab them fast. If you realize you missed it mid-chapter, you'll need to replay from the start.
