Gears of War 4 Collectibles

What are the missing Collectibles covered here?: In-game the Collectibles will appear simply as 10 metal machine-cog-shaped tags, as well as 40 more items like glass bottles, stone figures, iron blades, paper documents, magazines, newspapers & books, and various other items that light up in the environment with a glowing outline. It’s these objects that you can pick up to collect when you stand next to it. It can be confirmed as being Collectibles simply by walking up to it, as the on-screen text will then tell you can press the X button/action key to “Pick Up Collectible”.

Afterwards, you’ll get the “Collectible Found” message in the bottom-right corner of your screen, with the option to view more details about the Collectible if you hold the Menu button on your Xbox One controller to access it.

Tip: To see how many collectibles you have found in the current Act and Chapter, go to the Main Menu’s War Journal tab and select Collectibles. – Since their pickup order per Chapter isn’t sorted chronologically, you’ll need to check the Timeline listed below to find out which one you’re missing.

Does the game save each Collectibles you collect?: Yes, the game will automatically save the Collectibles you just collected if you picked up the Collectible, so you don’t have to play to the next checkpoint nor the end of the mission. After picking up each collectible you can safely quit the mission without losing collectibles progress. – Once collected, these Collectibles cannot be picked up again.
