Gears of War 2 Collectibles Location Guide - Act 5: Aftermath (5 Collectibles)

Article by Bunny Rabbid (279 pts ) , published Dec 8, 2008

Whether you are going for the achievements or just consider yourself a completionist, chasing down all 41 hidden collectibles in Gears of War 2 can be quite a chore. This guide aims to make it less so. This part of the guide covers all of the collectibles to be found in Act 5.

Chapter 1: Escape (0 Collectibles)

There are no collectibles to be found in this chapter.

Chapter 2: Desperate Stand (2 Collectibles)

  1. COG Recon Report - This collectible is on the first platform you have to defend. Once the Raven helicopter wipes out the Locusts, head down the stairs to the lower platform, and you should see the collectible sitting next to an ammo crate.
  2. COG Tags: Sergeant Devon Jackson - After you defend the Communications Satellite, Colonel Hoffman should open a gate for you. Go through and take a left. This collectible is on the same type of balcony area as the previous collectible. Head down the stairs and you should see it next to a sniper rifle and an ammo box (and a dead COG soldier).

Chapter 3: Free Parking (2 Collectibles)

  1. Jacinto Sentinel Newspaper - After the large battle in the courtyard, Marcus and Dom will need to turn a wheel to lift a gate. Head through and you will be faced with a few more Locusts with a Grinder in the middle. Head to the far right and you should see a red car near a barrier. On the ground will be a pile of leaves with your collectible.
  2. COG Tags: Sergeant Jonathan Harper - According to your War Journal, the collectible is located in Chapter 4, but it is technically located at the end of Chapter 3. You'll find it inside a blown-up building on the left side, just after you destroy the Reaver. If you've already made it to Chapter 4 and missed it, the easiest thing to do would be to just turn around and walk a little bit. If you're just hunting collectibles and have already beaten the game, it would be faster to load Chapter 4 and turn around than it would be to go all the way through Chapter 3.

Chapter 4: Tenuous Footing (1 Collectible)

  1. Stranded's Journal -After falling through the floor, you will find yourself fighting some Locusts (again), and there will be some busted-out windows in front of you. Jump through the windows and the collectible should be there in front of you, in the back corner by a desk.

And that's it! As soon as you pick up the Stranded's Journal, you should get the final collectibles achievement, "Completionist". The three achievements are worth a total of 50 points, and you are now that much closer to getting the full 1000/1000 out of Gears of War 2. I hope you found this guide helpful, and I welcome any feedback.

yeah, read the chapter 3 description again. he says that the COG tags can be found in chapter 3 or 4. I found it in chapter 4 by turning around because I missed it, but the guide is still correct. once i knew where it was I helped a buddy and he got it at the end of chapter 3.

Last collectible
This site is really good for finding them i agree, but on the very last one i didn't find the stranded's journal i found some more cog tags at the very begining level, 180 from your starting position it's in a fallen/burned down building. Maybe there's two?
