Xbox has released the full Gears of War: E-Day achievement list ahead of its October 6, 2026, release, and it’s quite a long one. While some achievements focus on the campaign, most revolve around Gears of War: E-Day’s multiplayer modes, one of the series’ biggest draws. So, if you’re preparing to tear through the Locust horde and survive Emergence Day with a 100% completion, here are all the Gears of War: E-Day achievements and how to unlock them.
How Many Achievements Are There in Gears of War: E-Day?
Gears of War: E-Day has a grand total of 55 achievements you can earn after completing your training as a rookie Gears soldier, finishing the campaign, leveling up in multiplayer modes, and miscellaneous achievements like using the Chainsaw against the Locust horde in the campaign or the multiplayer.
However, the real challenge arrives when it’s time to kill 50,000 enemies in Gears of War: E-Day’s Horde Siege multiplayer mode, rack up 25,000 kills in Versus, and complete all Acts of the campaign on Insane difficulty.
The hardest Gears of War: E-Day achievement, by far, is the “Dead Serious” one, which not only requires you to 100% the campaign on the hardest difficulty, but also attain 25,000 kills in Versus, max out your level, and master all 4 classes in the game.
Fortunately, you’ll be rewarded for your efforts, as Gears of War E-Day has an achievement for earning all of them, similar to PlayStation’s Platinum trophy. This is one of the perks of Gears of War: E-Day being an Xbox exclusive, so cherish the experience, however brutal it may be.
List of All Gears of War: E-Day Achievements
Gears of War: E-Day’s achievements range from fairly easy to extremely challenging, particularly those tied to the game’s multiplayer modes.
