  • Easyy. Add Meh For The Release. -Bipolar Barney
  • I guess that this is like halo reach
  • thats what everyones bin saying they copied reach and i think they just say onyx becuz onyx is one of the strongest stones.
  • Dont we get a onyx medal for being 100 in gears 2?
  • Easy to get onyx active reloads and gnasher kills, I got them in the beta.
  • @revolt - how many actions was that - i know they will probably up the ante, but some sort of figure would be awesome
  • Rod says going through the campaign will get you a medal, depending what difficulty you're on. Casual- Bronze Normal- Silver Hardcore- Gold Insane- Onyx
  • #4 is that true? :)
  • Last time i checked onyx was a pokemon.
  • @9 Last time I checked Onix wasn't made of Onyx...
  • If any of you so called Gears fans have read any of the books you will know that the Onyx Guard was Prescotts private army body guards which was destroyed with the Hammer strikes! Only 2 are left who guard him hense their armour being slightly different, so its nowt to do with stones or copying Halo etc!
  • @11 and they both die in the game xD
  • Thanks a lot for the spoiler #12!!
  • wow 12 you are the biggest jerk..
  • bigger spoiler dom dies
  • Sparda is my hero haha
  • @15 To be honest, that doesn't bother me. I kinda guessed that when they released the first trailer. I like Dom, but he is certainly not my favorite character.
  • how i get this achievement? playing events?
  • Onyx is a strong dark valuable stone. next would be diamonds
  • Hi all. Small change of topic but when i start up game straight away it says i have a new ribbon but go through them and no new ones were there. any 1 having same problem?
  • Yeah, for some odd reason there are times where it has the exclamation point for the ribbons and you really don't have anything new. Just ignore it lol
  • lol you wanna talk spoilers huh you keep it up and i will spol the ending dont be dicks and ruin it for others it sucks had some asshole ruin la noire like that
  • please guys somewhere answer my question...this achievement i just win playing events? thanks for now!!!
  • @23 if you go onto the forums there are a couple of guides on the quickest way to get this and no it's not for playing events.
  • @24 actually u can get one for playing events...
  • easiest way to get this cheevo is stand by the piano in act 1 chapter 1 after you get jace. just stand at the piano and press x 2000 times and ding, cheevo unlocked. took 1.5 hours of my turbo controller doing it for me :)
  • @26 thanks for the advise. Worked like a charm
  • @26 what medal does that get you?? I got this one for doing Beast without failing on insane :) so much fun, couldn't even beleive we scored it lol
  • @20 I'm finding that whichever items you most recently unlocked will still show up as *new* until a further save/checkpoint or whatever overwrites them. So when you end a session and check your stats, the same save data exists the next time you load the game. It doesn't update when you access the stats menu. Only when the game creates save data. Make sense? Annoying though, isn't it? @15 I hope you feel really proud now that you have spoiled the game for some people.
  • add me and ill help you farm this cheevo
  • can this be done in a private game??Like boost with bots?
  • That is fucking pathetic sparda500. They really need to implement a report feature on here.
  • A lot of dicks up here ruining the story, don't know how that makes you feel good. It's plain stupid. Grow some balls and stop being so childish. Also beating the game on insane is probably the easiest to obtain unless you want to go through reloading checkpoints or games to keep redoing something 1000 times. Campaign on insane is not even that hard either.
  • I'm going for the Onyx medal tonight on Beast Mode (insane without dying, also get a character. if you're interested in joining, my gt is Neilcon21. I'm playing at 9pm cst. message me
  • seriously sprada bit of a dick move
  • @28 it gets you the doorman one. whenever you open a door, pull a lever or do any action pretty much
  • easy achievement, but other Onyx medals can take forever!!!!
  • Who is up 4 beast mode 2night after 5 pm on insane. Message me GT duffield34
  • An easy way to get this if you have two people...go in Horde mode and build a turret and have one player shoot the turret during the 30 seconds in between rounds and the other player tapping Y quickly. You do this 1000 times and you'll get the Onyx medal for fortification repairs. You can get about 100 clicks in per 30 seconds. If you have enough money (you should after wave 2 or 3) you can just go out and get killed if you don't feel like completing the wave. And remember...the host has to be the one clicking Y because the clicks don't go through as fast if you're not the host for some reason.
  • ^ And obviously, when clicking Y, I mean clicking Y on the turret to give it ammo.
  • ound this on youtube.... very fast way for one onyx medal. I guess under an hour.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm_SJu3OzcQ
  • I made a guide to get this in under 10 minutes. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkKLcyglFI4
  • @26 my thumb really hurtssssss
  • @43 thats why you get your little bro or sis to do this as punishment!!! LOL
  • @39 Thats the way to do it, If you button mash y really fast you can get 300- 600 times. Need 1400 fortifications to get the acheivement. Easy. Takes about 10 min, keep restarting it though and make sure you have 2 players.
  • just finish in insane
  • Beast on Insane? add me
  • dadadaa let the boys be boys, SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!! OH WAIT WRONG ONYX
  • Need help with this add me Terminater43
  • I got this achievement after fortifying 1000 objects on horde mode.
  • question about beta i didn't play beta just started with gears is it possible to get that medal - tests in beta?
  • Thanks!
  • I got this as soon as I played. First time ever going on the game, logged into Mulitplayer and this popped with the level 5 and 10 achievement, and I was level 11... :S
  • Join horde mode with 2 controllers (private mind you). Beat wave 1 using one player only. Buy a turret with said player when the round is done and have another person shoot it while you stand next to it tapping Y to keep reloading it. Each one counts as a fortification. 20-30 mins later you should have the Onyx medal and this achievement.
