The fourth chapter in the video game is known as Gears of War Judgment Onyx Point and those who play it may acquire up to seven Gears of War Judgment COG Tags collectables.
After Kilo Squad manages to obtain the launch codes in the previous chapter, Seahorse Hills, they must reach the Onyx Point Fortress to find the Lightmass Missile.
Chapter 4 represents Coles testimony, who tells how Kilo Squad found the missile and armed it, even they were forbidden to do that.
Onyx Point mission is a little different than others before it, for the fact that some of the hidden COG Tags must be acquired before the Classified Missions from the corresponding sections.
Therefore, if players wish to get all the Gears of War Judgment collectibles in a single playthrough, they must respect the same order as the one in the following GoWJ collectibles guide.

Ezra Loomis: Pretend war? No. How are you finding the real thing?

Ezra Loomis: Then unburden your mind.
