And here it is: the finale. While Act 5 of Gears of War: E-Day is extremely fast-paced and full of action, it also has a few collectibles, though not as many as previous acts. Still, since things are going too fast and you’re about to reach the end, you might miss a few of these items. For that reason, we’ve made another guide to help you locate all collectibles in Act 5 of Gears of War: E-Day.
Note: Big spoilers ahead for the game’s final boss, ending, and the fate of some characters. Proceed with caution.
