Gears of War Judgment Aftermath can be considered the seventh chapter of the video game, even if its a separate chapter that can be selected from the main menu.
Aftermath is unlocked by those who accumulate at least 42 stars in the campaign, and though it can be played anytime if its unlocked, it is advised to do so after Chapter 6, The Courthouse, in order to properly understand the storyline.
The mission takes place 24 hours before Adam Fenix releases the Imulsion cure (in Gears of War 3), and it revolves around the task given to Damon Baird and Augustus Cole to find reinforcements.
Aftermath is longer than all previous chapters of the videogame. Because of this, the Gears of War Judgment COG Tags collectibles are very easy to miss, therefore its recommended to use the detailed information in the following collectables guide, along with the screenshots at the end of the guide.
Another important aspect regarding Aftermath is the fact that it does not feature Declassified Missions.

Reunion
Gears of War Judgment Reunion COG Tag
When the mission begins, you reunite with Paduk. Play along until you reach the shopping center (where the turret is). When you head outside, you are pinned down by enemy mortars.
Clear the area and go downstairs. Turn around so you can face the central staircase and look for the Gears of War logo on the right side. The Gears of War Judgment Reunion COG Tag is behind the columns next to the stairs.

Anybody Home
Gears of War Judgment Anybody Home COG Tag
As soon as you access the next section, go left, around the cars, and walk until you find a garage on the left side of the area. You should see the GoW logo on the other side of the garage, behind some cars.
You can find the Gears of War Judgment Anybody Home COG Tag next to the bodies that are under the said logo.

Dead End
Gears of War Judgment Dead End COG Tag
In the third section, you enter a room filled with Imulsion vapors and you have to get gasmasks from a locker. Grab the gasmask and go downstairs. Then, cross the room to find the fire escape, and play until you take off the mask. Now you have to go through a large door.
Instead of doing that, kick the small round door thats on the left side, then get inside the room on your right. The Gears of War Judgment Dead End COG Tag can be found in the opposite corner from the entrance.
Be advised that you will be ambushed inside this room.

One Step Closer
Gears of War Judgment One Step Closer COG Tag
You arrive in the next section when youre rescued by the helicopter. After you grab the explosives from the police station and you get outside, it wont take long until you reach a long path that has Longshot snipers at the other end (when you need to make your way to the Regency Hotel).
In order to escape the snipers, you have to go left through a building and then into the next one. As soon as you exit the latter, you are once again in the snipers way, hence you have to go inside the building thats in front of you (right side of the main street). If you look carefully, you should see the Gears of War logo across the room.
It points to some stairs that lead to the basement, so head downstairs and collect the Gears of War Judgment One Step Closer COG Tag located around the corner, next to the washing machines.

Straight to the Top
Gears of War Judgment Straight to the Top COG Tag
In the next area, you have to reach the rooftop because the previous plan fails. After the Stranded with the OneShot is killed, deal with the snipers and find the hole thats on the other side of the floor.
Drop down one floor and get inside the office that has two animal heads behind the desk (you should use one to open a secret area).
Go through the windows on the right side of the office, and turn left to see the Gears of War Judgment Straight to the Top COG Tag next to the rubble.

A Few Complaints
Gears of War Judgment A Few Complaints COG Tag
In the Restaurant area, you have to get to the kitchen. Exactly when you go through the door, turn left and walk so you can find a fridge with the GoW logo on it.
Next to it is a storage room, and inside is the Gears of War Judgment A Few Complaints COG Tag, near a body. This is the last COG Tag in the videogame, so if you followed our complete collectibles guide, you should receive the Respect for the Fallen achievement when you pick it up.
