Act 2, Chapter 3, “No Gear Left Behind,” has five reported collectibles: three COG Tags, the Bloodied Spike, and the Ink-Covered Wrench. Follow this route from the opening tunnel to the courthouse area, and collect Lieutenant Jane Hawkins’s tags before boarding the truck at the end.
All five collectibles in route order
The locations below combine two chapter guides. Their descriptions agree on the five items but differ on some nearby landmarks, so treat those landmarks as navigation cues rather than exact, publisher-confirmed placements.

What counts as a chapter collectible?
The five-item checklist above is the chapter’s reported collectible list. A walkthrough separately identifies six Hard Cases containing mods or supplies; those are not included in the five collectibles.
Rank #3
- Disc only. Original case and manual not included. Will come packaged in a generic case.
- This renewed game has been cleaned, tested, and shows minimal wear.
How certain are these locations?
Two secondary guides agree on the item names and total, but their landmark descriptions differ slightly for the Bloodied Spike and Ink-Covered Wrench. No official publisher collectible map or item-location list is established here, so use the route order and broad area cues to search rather than relying on a single precise landmark.
For wider Act 2 context, XboxAchievements reports 38 collectibles: five in “Bravo Squad,” 27 in “Hold the Line,” five in “No Gear Left Behind,” none in “Flyboys,” and one in “Overrun.” That is the guide’s reported breakdown, not an official Xbox or Coalition statistic.
