Gears of War: E-Day Reveals Its Full Achievement List Ahead of October 6

What we know

Xbox has published the full Gears of War: E-Day achievement list ahead of Emergence Day beginning on October 6, 2026. The objectives span the campaign’s five acts, co-op, Horde Siege, and Versus multiplayer, alongside difficulty and long-term progression challenges.

The toughest achievement is Dead Serious (85 points). It requires 100% campaign completion on Insane, 25,000 Versus kills, maximum player level, and four fully maxed classes. A separate 75-point achievement, For Whom The Bell Tolls, requires finishing the campaign on Insane, completing every side mission, and finding every hidden item.

Campaign and co-op

The campaign is split into five acts. Its story milestones are all worth 15 points: Emergence Begins, We Must Improvise, and The Bigger They Are… in Act 1; The Scorched Legion, You Want What On the Front of a Gun?!, and Got to the Choppa in Act 2; Get Back You Eight-legged Freak, Twice the Pride, Double the Fall, and …The Harder They Fall in Act 3; End of the Line and The Only Good Bug is a Dead Bug in Act 4; and Nothing Left but the Fight and For My Boys in Act 5. Completing Boot Camp unlocks FNG for 15 points.

Other 15-point campaign objectives include completing every act in co-op on any difficulty (You’re My Brother), finishing all secondary objectives (Side Piece), finding every Hard Case (Relax. I’m the Map), collecting every collectible (Memories From E-Day), and unlocking every Campaign Supply Cache item (Quartermaster).

Completing the campaign on any difficulty earns Remember Kalona (25 points), while finishing all acts on Insane unlocks Today We Are Canceling the Apocalypse (25 points). The Lucky Ones Died on E-Day unlocks for earning every other achievement and carries no point value.

Horde Siege, Versus, and special challenges

Horde Siege accounts for a large share of the progression requirements. Completing and surviving 50 Siege Missions on Infantry or above (Lift Outta Hell), completing 100 secondary objectives (Best I Can Do Is a Pizza Party), executing 50 enemies stunned by the Sonic Disruptor (Turn It Up to 11), and extracting with every squadmate alive on Allfather (Never Fight Alone) are each worth 15 points.

The list also includes earning 100 revives (Just Let Me Get One More…), maintaining 30 seconds of Adrenaline with the Injector (I’m All Amped Up), pulsing 1,000 enemies with the Pulse Drone (Spotted and Slotted), receiving the maximum Perk Cache reward (Form-Up!), reviving 20 players from other squads (Who Loves Ya, Baby?), and reviving 250 DBNO squadmates with the Stim Vaporizer (Down, but Not Dead).

Further 15-point Horde Siege goals include spending 150,000 Energy at the Supply Cache (Stacks, On Stacks, On Stacks), completing 25 Invasion Events (Like a Boss), unlocking every weapon mod (This Is My Rifle), inspecting the underside of a Raven (Crepe du Raven), and saving an entire squad while close to death (I Didn’t Hear No Bell).

The longer-term Horde Siege milestones call for 50,000 kills (I WILL MASSACRE YOU, 25 points), maxing the Assault, Breacher, Marksman, and Medic classes (Siege Specialist, 25 points), and reaching the final Re-Up to claim wings (Got Your Wings, 25 points). Reaching player level 100 and performing a first Re-Up is Field Service (15 points).

In Versus, It Only Game, Why You Heff to Be Mad? requires winning a Conquest match without the opposing team scoring. HEY NOW, YOU’RE AN ALL STAR… asks for 25,000 Versus kills and awards 25 points. Somebody Set Us Up the Bomb is a 15-point achievement for planting the bomb in Demolition and having it explode without an enemy defusal.

The remaining 15-point challenges cover more situational actions: killing ten enemies in a row with one detached turret (I Am Heavy Weapons Guy), saving another player from a Locust struggle (Brotector), carving up a Boomer (Okay, Boomer), committing a workplace safety violation on Battleship in Versus (Days Since Last Accident: 0), returning a converted Ticker through air mail (Right in the Ticker), and using a chainsaw on a Locust in Campaign or Horde Siege (Chainsaw Go Brrrrrrrrr).

Other entries include playing explosive cornhole with a Bilefrog (Explosive Indigestion), killing two Grubs with one Gut-Puncher round (Two Grubs, One Gut-Punch), taking revenge on an Armored Wretch that stunned the player (Payback’s A Pitch), plus the campaign, co-op, and multiplayer requirements above. The list makes clear that full completion will depend on solo progress as well as squad coordination and sustained goals across Horde Siege and Versus.
