In this page, you will be guided on how to complete the  Hoarder and Remember The Fallen achievement in Gears of War 3. Basically, your goal here is to collect all the cog tags and collectibles.

Act 1

Chapter 1: The first cog tag is found on the floor when you enter the door on your right at the very beginning of the game. You then wake up in your room. Get the Phoenix bucks on the table and the game will instruct you to look for your
friend, Dom. Instead of looking for Dom, follow the lady to the room with a bunk
bed and pick up the collectible lying on the tray. After that, go to the room on the
left and pick up the clipboard on the table. Go up the stairs. You will encounter a
battle and then another part of the upstairs will appear. There is a dead guy on
one of the platforms there. Shoot him and you get a cog tag.

Chapter 2: Enter the place where the mechs are. Get the service manual on the
table to your left upon entering. Make sure to keep an eye on the painted gears
logo because that means that there are cogs nearby.

Chapter 3: Enter a gate with a poster that says “The Best Breakfast in Town”
beside it. Pick up the journal lying on the floor near the dead body. You then get
the “Collector” achievement. Climb up the ladder on the playground and pick
up the notebook. Go inside the convenience store and get the ammos. Get the
shopping list near the second box of ammo. You then pass through an area where
you use the mechs to get stuff out of the way, and then you get another cog tag in
the next room.

Chapter 4: Get the newspaper from the farthest corner of the first area you are
in. You then pass through a door that you need to unlock and then go to a place
that used to be a pier. Pick up the cog tag near the dead person. When asked to
choose a path, go upstairs.

Chapter 5: There are 2 collectibles in the mezzanine. When you get outside, you
can get another collectible under the purse of the lady who’s taking a nap.

Chapter 6: Go to the left for money before the door opens up. After the door
opens up, go to the right. You will see a crate with a box in it. Smash the box
and you get a knife. There is a cog tag in the undercarriage of the bridge. When
you get to the part where you go up the ladder, go to the right to get the final
collectible for Act 1.

Act 2

Chapter 1: Take a right. You will something that looks like a big cage with a
collectible inside. Later on, you will find another collectible near a burning
helicopter. Further on, while you are making your way down, you will see a box
on top of one of the rocks. Shoot it down and get the collectible. When you get to
the part where you’re fighting, you can get a cog tag near the water.

There is nothing to collect in Chapter 2.

Chapter 3: There are 5 people who will try to make the alarm sound. Kill all of
them before they do. This should be easy considering there are explosives near
the horns. When you kill all of them, a door should open. Run inside and get the
collectible.

Chapter 4: In the last bit of cover, before you go uphill, go to your right to get a
collectible.

Chapter 5: Instead of going left, go right first. Kick open the tower and get the
collectible inside.

Chapter 6: In the place where you fight the reapers, go to the left and get the
collectible at the end of the map. You then get the “Pack Rat” achievement. You’re
supposed to go back to the dirigible but go up to find a cog tag instead.

Act 3

Chapter 1: The first collectible is found right at the beginning, on the wall to
your left. Go up the stairs and get the painting, which is another collectible.
Further on, you will see ammo boxes. Near them is another collectible.

Chapter 2: You will be fighting a berserker in a circular room and you will find
another collectible in the center, near a dark column. Go to the left near the doors
and you can get a cog tag.

There is nothing to collect in Chapter 3.

Chapter 4: There is a collectible as you are going down the stairs. Go through the
deli and you will find another cog. Further on, there will be a ladder drop. Climb
up the ladder and you will see a collectible on the far left.

Chapter 5: Go inside the Church and when you come to the point where you
have to go right, go left to get a collectible.

Act 4

Chapter 1: Go to the right and explore until you get a cog tag.

Chapter 2: There is a door right in front of you as the chapter starts. Kick it open
and get the collectible.

Chapter 3: One collectible is found at the top before entering the building and
the other is inside a burning room, under a sofa.

Chapter 4: Go right before entering the building to get the collectible.

Chapter 5: While looking for the propeller, you will find a collectible on the
left side of the floor of the big building. While looking for fuel, you’re going to
be on top of a boat. Go to your left and onto the dock to get a cog tag. Another
collectible can be obtained when you’re escorting something out. There’s a room
with a number 1. Enter it and get the collectible.

Last Act

Chapter 1: The first collectible can be found to your far left after you’ve climbed
the stairs. Make sure you have the silverback when you are going into the cave.
Another collectible is on the way, just look to your left.

Chapter 2: Get on the silverback and go to the 3rd room after you get off the
elevator. There is a door that you need to break down, and in the room behind it
is a cog tag. When you get to the room with a desk, there is an “x” button on the
desk that you have to hit. It should open a secret safe, where another collectible
is located.

Chapter 3: In the main building, you will find a collectible under a tile in the far
end of the hall. Another collectible is located on the table in the room with an
angel statue. You’re then going to have to go down using an elevator in order to
get a cog tag.

Chapter 4: Instead of going left, go all the way down the hallway and pick up the
bust, which is actually a collectible. After you get off the elevator, hit the elevator
button again. Another collectible can be found in the door that opens.

Chapter 5: One collectible is found behind one of the pillars opposite you.
When you get off the elevator, the lights should be off. Take a right, shoot the
box, and get the cog tag inside it. This will give you the “Remember The Fallen”
achievement. The last collectible is found right after you get in your father’s
office. You then earn the “Hoarder” achievement.
