Hivebusters — all 23 collectibles and 12 ability upgrades This is the expansion, not Gears 5's main campaign. There are 35 pickups here, but two separate achievements: 23 story collectibles for Searching for Answers, and 12 ability upgrades for Renewed, Not Consumed. Pick up the upgrades in one continuous campaign save; do not assume jumping between chapters preserves your ability progress. Collectible cleanup and upgrade progression are not the same thing.
