Don't miss a single collectible in Gears of War 3! This guide details the locations of every collectible item throughout the game's campaign.

This guide is designed to help you find every collectible hidden throughout Gears of War 3. We'll cover all the acts and chapters, pointing out exactly where each item is located. Let's get started!

Act 1

Chapter 1: Anchored

  1. When you start, look on the desk behind you for a collectible paper.
  2. Head into the hallway and follow the lady into the room to the left. Hug the left wall, and just after the cots, you'll find a collectible on a dinner tray.
  3. Go back to the hall, then take the next door on the right. The door after that is also open. In front of Jack, on the table, is another collectible.
  4. Continue down the hall, go up the stairs, and around the table to the next flight of stairs.
  5. After talking to Anya, follow the objective marker to find poor Nash. Clear the polyps, then turn right and go up the stairs.
  6. At the top of the stairs, you'll encounter the Drudge. Shoot him in his glowing belly.
  7. Head left, shoot the drudge by the edge, then go up the stairs to your right to activate the dock lift.
  8. After the cutscene with Prescott, you'll be sent through the gardens. Take your time crossing the deck as the lambent can be tough. Take cover and aim for their glowing parts.
  9. Once the lambent are cleared (with help from a Raven), go to the back left corner of the deck. Look up to the catwalk above and shoot the hanging dead Gear to make him drop his tags.
  10. Head for the stairs up to the catwalk on the right, go through the door at the end, and watch the cutscene.
  11. Turn around and go back the way you came. Before going down the stairs, use your height advantage to clear the area of lambent.
  12. Once back on the deck, head back towards the lifts, clearing enemies as you go. A COG will raise the lift for you. Use it to cross to the other side of the deck.
  13. Cross over and you'll find yourself where you first met the drudge. Go back down the stairs to where Nash died.
  14. Pick up the extinguisher and put out the fire. Aim a little higher than you think you need to.
  15. You'll encounter more lambent in the next hall; hang back and take them out. At the end of the hall, turn right to save Prescott.

Chapter 2: Abandon Ship

  1. Head straight down the hall and take a left at the end. Tip a table and take cover. Stay back and take out the lambent from there.
  2. At the end of the hall, go right and talk to the people moving the vending machine, then go through the door on the left.
  3. In the next open room, you'll face several lambent ahead. Find cover and try to pick them off, but also watch the catwalk up above and to the right. The left side of the room offers good cover and a flanking angle.
  4. Take out the Drudge and the lambent grubs, then drop down. Follow the path to the first Deck lift.
  5. The Raven pilot will mention raising the lift. Shortly after, you'll be attacked by enemies from the right. Try to get up the stairs quickly to find cover, as they have a height advantage.
  6. Once they're cleared, go past the door they came through and up the stairs to the catwalk. Follow it to the control room to raise the lift.
  7. Exit the control room and go down the stairs to your right. After talking to the next Raven pilot, the chopper gets destroyed, and you have to...
