Gears of War: E-Day 100% Guide: Collectibles, Hard Cases, Secondary Objectives & Supply Caches

Gears of War: E-Day has four campaign checklists tied to 100% completion: 140 standard collectibles, 125 Hard Cases, 17 Secondary Objectives and 36 Supply Cache stations. This guide puts every location into campaign order and separates the station count from the items needed for the Quartermaster achievement.

The totals were cross-checked against completed-save War Journal reporting and multiple post-launch location guides. The achievement names and requirements were cross-checked against Xbox Wire’s official achievement list and the current live platform descriptions.

Gears of War: E-Day 100% checklist

Completion category	Total	Achievement
Standard collectibles	140	Memories From E-Day
Hard Cases	125	Relax. I’m the Map.
Secondary Objectives	17	Side Piece
Supply Cache stations	36	War Journal completion category
Eligible Supply Cache inventory pickups	17 current pickup types	Quartermaster

Important: the 36 Supply Cache locations are stations where you change weapons, equipment and mods. Quartermaster is a different check: it tracks eligible weapons and equipment that have been picked up or stowed into the cache inventory. Visiting all 36 stations does not, by itself, prove that every Quartermaster item has been unlocked.

Before you start the 100% route

• Use the War Journal: it reports the four campaign totals by Act. Standard collectibles remain visibly logged; Hard Case behavior in Chapter Replay can look different even though the overall tally persists.
• Listen and scan: the official launch guide confirms that a collectible chime plays when you enter an area containing one. Hard Cases also trigger an on-screen nearby notice, and Tac-Com outlines them through nearby cover.
• Finish a Secondary Objective: accepting one is not enough. Stay until its combat or rescue task completes and the reward is awarded.
• Mind one-way transitions: the biggest sweeps are Hold the Line before linking with Charlie, The Convoy before dropping through the bridge floor, Technical Difficulties before the train departs and One Problem at a Time before boarding the final train.
• Difficulty: Memories From E-Day and Side Piece specify any difficulty. The current For Whom the Bell Tolls description also separates beating the campaign on Insane from achieving 100% completion on any difficulty.
• Co-op tracking: an October 5 patch stopped a player joining an existing campaign from inheriting War Journal and Forge progress earned before joining. For reliable shared cleanup, load the relevant chapter together and personally be present for each pickup or completion.

For the broader campaign timeline, platforms and co-op options, see our Gears of War games-in-order and E-Day co-op guide. The route below stays focused on completion items.

Quartermaster: every Supply Cache item type

Quartermaster’s live description is “Unlock all Supply Cache items in the Campaign.” Current post-launch achievement tracking reports that an eligible item is added after you pick it up or stow it at least once; you do not need to carry it back to a station. The practical checklist is 10 long guns, two sidearms and five equipment types:

• Primary and special weapons: Lancer MK1, Prototype Lancer, Hammerburst, Gnasher, Ripper, Breechshot, Longshot, Incinerator, Gut-Puncher and Torque Bow.
• Sidearms: Snub and Striga.
• Equipment: Frag Grenade, Incendiary Grenade, Smoke Grenade, Concussion Grenade and Razor Mine.

Pick up unfamiliar weapons even if you do not intend to use them. The Gut-Puncher first appears by the end of Act 1, Chapter 4, while the Torque Bow is an especially common omission; take one from the Act 3, Chapter 5 encounter instead of assuming a station visit registered it. Holdout areas are also good places to cycle through grenade and mine types.

If Quartermaster stalls below 100%, revisit the weapon list before replaying all 36 station locations. Launch-week players have reported delayed or inconsistent tracking, so use the percentage as a clue rather than treating one replay workaround as guaranteed.

Achievement cleanup and For Whom the Bell Tolls

For Whom the Bell Tolls currently requires two things: beat the campaign on Insane difficulty and achieve 100% completion on any difficulty. That is clearer than the earlier pre-launch wording about side missions and hidden items. The two conditions do not need to be completed in the same run, so a lower-difficulty collection sweep followed by an Insane story run is the safer order.

• Missing a standard collectible: expand the War Journal’s Act list, identify the named gap and replay the relevant chapter.
• Missing a Hard Case: compare the Act total against 36/38/46/5, then repeat that Act chapter by chapter. Chapter Replay can make the local chapter view look empty while the overall total remains intact.
• Missing a Secondary Objective: all seven Act 2 objectives are in Hold the Line, all three Act 3 objectives are in Last Foothold, and all seven Act 4 objectives are split between Hope and Ruin and Tough as Nails.
• Missing Supply Cache progress: compare the 36 station list with the Quartermaster item checklist. These are separate failure points.
• Tracker looks wrong: restart the game, load the relevant chapter from Chapter Replay and recollect the suspected item. That is a troubleshooting step, not a guaranteed universal fix.

Gears of War: E-Day 100% FAQ

How many collectibles are in Gears of War: E-Day?

There are 140 standard collectibles. Hard Cases, Secondary Objectives and Supply Cache stations use separate War Journal counters and should not be added to that number.

How many Hard Cases are there?

There are 125: 36 in Act 2, 38 in Act 3, 46 in Act 4 and five in Act 5. Act 1 has none.

How many Secondary Objectives are there?

There are 17. Seven are in Hold the Line, three are in Last Foothold, three are in Hope and Ruin, and four are in Tough as Nails.

Are there 36 Supply Cache items for Quartermaster?

No. There are 36 Supply Cache station locations in the campaign. Quartermaster tracks the eligible weapon and equipment types added to the cache inventory, so its checklist is not the same as the station counter.

Can missed items be collected with Chapter Replay?

Yes. Standard collectibles, Hard Cases and missed objectives can be cleaned up through Chapter Replay. Keep a manual note of Hard Cases because the replay-local display can be misleading even while the overall Act total is preserved.

Does 100% completion have to be done on Insane?

No. The current achievement text says 100% completion can be achieved on any difficulty. Insane campaign completion is the separate second condition for For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Do co-op partners share earlier War Journal progress?

Do not rely on it. Since the October 5 patch, a player joining an in-progress campaign should not receive War Journal or Forge progress earned before joining. Start the cleanup chapter together and be present for the relevant actions.

Which E-Day completion counter is giving you the most trouble: collectibles, Hard Cases, Secondary Objectives or Supply Cache unlocks?
