Gears of War: E-Day How to Find Collectibles
Collecting collectibles in Gears of War: E-Day is easy after identifying the cues for nearby objects in this game:
- Tune in to the musical chime in the game during exploration.
- Tac-Com indicates nearby objects.
- For the default control scheme, use LB to scan for the objects in the area.
- In open areas, pay attention to the markers on the map.
When getting ready to move on to the next objective, search the available rooms, countertops, balconies, and dead bodies. A few collectibles are found on side paths, so relying solely on the mission makes it difficult to complete the task. The War Journal gives information about which part to replay in an act/chapter format.
