Introduction:

 

 

Step 1: Complete the game in arcade mode (ANY DIFFICULTY) 340G

The reason for playing arcade is because of "Seriously 3.0." You need to accumulate 7.5 million points total in arcade and complete 500 chapters in it. Find a friend to complete this together as it will be faster and you will gain "Welcome to Arcade Mode" and "My Fellow Gears" achievements. You should have "Level 5" achievement by the time your done too! Try and collect all collectibles using the guide. If you miss any you can replay chapter or save it for the next playthrough on insane. See Onyx Medals Guide for campaign onyx medals requirements.

 

Step 2: Complete the campaign on insane with 4 people. 195G

Use the achievement trading thread for finding 4 people to complete the campaign on insane. See "Thats Just Crazy" achievement for a walkthrough. Finish up any missed collectibles and use the Onyx Medal Guide for working on those onyx medals.

Complete all campaign Acts on Insane Difficulty (Standard or Arcade).

 

***First, you must complete the game on ANY difficulty to unlock Insane.***

 

- 4 players recommended.

 

- It is very helpful to have other players set their difficulty to CASUAL as it makes the completion of the campaign much easier. *Note- Only players who have their difficulty set to INSANE will unlock achievement.*

 

- Continuously look for ammo crates and enemy weapon drops.

 

- Do not try and rush the campaign as it will just make everything more frustrating.

 

- Use cover often and create active reloads in heavy enemy battles.

 

- Team focus fire on powerful enemies and bosses, but don't forget about the other enemies.

 

- Attend to downed teammates quick and efficiently. Leaving somebody downed for a long period of time can result in a death and reload of checkpoint.

-Get a kill with all 15 Locust characters in Beast mode. This achievement is stackable and can be done on any difficulty.

Complete all 50 waves of Horde mode (any difficulty, any map).

 

Do this on insane playing on the map "Gridlock". Best done with 4 people. I say do this on insane because an onyx medal requires you to do all waves on insane. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DONE IN 1 SITTING! Failing is good! Your money goes up so you can buy ammo and defenses.

 

Camp where the pistol weapons spawn. Grab weapons that the enemy drops and use it against them. Shields are important! Place them from enemy breaching in and downing you so easily. Upgrade your defenses to slow the enemy down.

 

Every 10 waves the horde gets harder! You can bring yourself back to life for money if you die. It ONLY works once per wave.

 

Here are tips for boss waves (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50)

 

Berserker

- You must use the flamethrower to kill him. While he is on fire you can shoot him. There will be more than 1 so BE PREPARED!

 

Brumak

- He will spawn at one of the of ends of the map. Save heavy weapons ( Oneshot, boomshot and mulcher) for shooting him. Aim for the head or the gas tanks on his back. Not sure if this is suppose to happen but he can some how glitch into the buildings.

 

Reaver

- These should't pose too much trouble. A oneshot and mulcher can take these out fast. Take cover though as they can down you with 1 shot with their rockets. There are at least 3 a boss wave.

 

Gunker

- Now when these come you want to be moving around a lot. They will be shooting balls of imulsion at you. Just keep shooting the yellow on him and he will eventually go down. Don't get too close to them.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1401/UPtULA0=.jpgFirst Among Equals 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Earn at least one Onyx medal.

 

The fastest to earn would be beast mode. Complete all 12 waves of beast mode on insane without failing. (timer runs out) Four people may be easier but less money for everyone. Destroy barriers, enemies or dummy's to accumulate more time bonuses. Gridlock is a good map to choose as you can see the whole map unlike others.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1401/UP8WP2c=.jpgSeriously 3.0 100 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Reach level 100 and earn every Onyx medal.

 

Gaining this achievement would gain you every other achievement in the game. This achievement requires you to get an onyx medal in all 65 medals. This will take more time than both Gears of War 1 and 2 put together. This should be your last achievement for the game too! Most of these can be done in private matches. All 6,000 kills related onyx medals DON'T COUNT IN CAMPAIGN! Check out the medals guide thread and work on them one by one.

 

By the time you have obtained 60,000 kills, 18,000 matches played, beating horde and beast mode on insane you will most likely be level 100 so don't worry about that part of the achievement.

 

You will have to be a very dedicated player if you want this achievement. It's going to take well over 100s and 100s of hours. Maybe in the future there will be an event which doubles how fast you get this. It may be a while though.

 

An easy way to get The field engineer onyx medal is during horde mode. Have a friend shoot the turret during modification mode and keep tapping the "Y" button to replenish ammo. Rinse and Repeat to 1000 modifications.

Kill 10 enemies in Team Deathmatch (Standard or Casual).

 

DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN ONE MATCH! Just play a versus team deathmatch and aquire 10 kills across all of your games. You should get this on your first couple of matches.

Demonstrate your skill in Casual Versus multiplayer.

 

If you have any Gears achievements from the 2 previous gears then you will get this achievement as soon as you hit start at the main menu when you first load up the game.

 

If not then like Cliff said,"Your damage to enemies is increased and you take more damage." After you get 10 kills the training wheels are off and will have the achievement.

Earn the maximum Consecutive Match Bonus in Versus multiplayer (Standard or Casual).

 

The maximum consecutive match bonus is 1000 points. Just keep playing a quick match of any game mode. You can check your progress when the game is over. The achievement unlocks at the end of the game.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1401/UPyi1BM=.jpgLambency 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Execute an Epic employee, or someone who already has Lambency, in Versus multiplayer (any mode).

 

This should come on your first few kills you get in versus multiplayer. Just execute anyone who has this achievement in a versus match (Private match works also) and the achievement will unlock immediately.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1401/UPpLX2k=.jpgSocialite 70 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Earn the Onyx "War Supporter" medal.

 

You must participate in 30 Gears events. These are at the main menu. Check the calender or http://www.Gearsofwar.com for events coming up. This could take months till there are enough but i'm thinking there will be about 3 to 4 events a month.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1401/s1.jpgRespect for the Dead 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Your respect for the dead earned you access to Griffin's special weapons stash.

 

This is obtained in Act IV of the campaign.

What's goin on in this thread...
I am working on fixing this. I am working on spacing everything out. I already have recorded videos of how to do some of the achievements. Its my first guide. When I get the spacing and what not done then the description on how to do it and the videos should be up soon. I'm just having problems formatting everything.
