How to Unlock All Gears of War: E-Day Achievements

If you want to work toward 100% completion of Gears of War E-Day achievements, do not leave everything until the end. A good approach is to combine objectives whenever possible.

Start with the Campaign: Complete the story and collect items as you progress.
Track Collectibles: Keep a checklist for Collectibles, Hard Cases, and Supply Cache items.
Complete Side Objectives: Do not skip secondary objectives if you want full Campaign completion.
Play Co-op: Complete the Campaign with another player for You’re My Brother.
Start Horde Siege Early: Work toward Energy, revives, kills, and class progression over time.
Use Different Classes: Level Assault, Breacher, Marksman, and Medic instead of focusing on only one.
Play Versus Regularly: The 25,000-kill requirement will take time, so start working on it early.
Save Insane for a Focused Run: Once you understand the Campaign and collectible locations, complete the Insane run with a checklist.
Finish the Long Grinds: Player Level, Re-Ups, Horde Siege classes, and Versus kills are best completed gradually.

How Long Does It Take to Get All Achievements?

The total time will depend heavily on your skill, difficulty, and how much multiplayer you play. The biggest time requirements come from 25,000 Versus kills, 50,000 Horde Siege kills, maxing all four Horde Siege classes, and completing the Campaign on Insane with 100% completion. Because of these requirements, this is not an achievement list that can be completed quickly in a single Campaign playthrough.

Gears of War: E-Day Achievements: Summary

Gears of War: E-Day has an achievement list built around all three major parts of the game. Campaign players can earn story, collectible, and completion achievements, while Horde Siege and Versus contain the longer progression-based challenges. For players chasing every achievement, the biggest tasks are completing the Campaign on Insane with full completion, reaching the required Horde Siege progression, and earning 25,000 Versus kills. Starting these objectives early and combining them with normal play will make the overall grind easier to manage.
