Some Achievement Ideas for the Next Inevitable Batch

Gears 5
#1

I can only assume more achievements will be added to the game eventually. So here are some achievement ideas from my suggestions in the GoW4 contest (that was deleted from the forum?) with some tweaks if needed and some new ones. Feel free to share some of your own.

Start it with the achievement the devs chose to put in GoW4…except they didn’t know the boss never went into the furnace in GoW4. But now the bosses do. Make it happen!

If they add ping achievements I’m banning you.

#6

I’m ok with more achievements as long as they are reasonable and don’t require you to drag the whole team into it (all 5 horde players at full perks? screw that!).

“Can’t re-roll this one
Win 100 Arcade-matches”

I couldn’t stop laughing with this one (I always re-roll on arcade).

Seriously 5.2
Was a joke, no more achievements will be added.

And this will be released on the first of April and unlocks for everyone.

Aged like a fine wine with a hint of bitterness

Play a match of(in any mode)/launch Gears 5 on the 10th day of any month and be reminded of where the game went both right and wrong since its release.

Inspired by similar achievements found in the Master Chief Collection where you get an achievement for playing one of the various Halos in it on a specific day(I do not recall if it had to be a specific month, but that would seem a little restrictive).

Perfectly Balanced

Get your team wiped by a single Drone Elite, Guardian, Sentinel, Swarmak or Kestrel in less than 10 seconds. Should have brought more of that skill sold in the store.

Show me even one player who played on Insane, Incon or Master who hasn’t had this, especially prior to the various Horde buffs/nerfs to classes and enemies.

Two sticks and a rock for the whole platoon

And that rock, you’ll have to share it. Complete a Horde match with 5 Blademasters running a melee based build, hope you don’t get too many flying things and maybe catch the reference on your way out.

They’re not even preventing pings like that in ranked, what makes you think they’ll ever make achievements unobtainable for 99% of the playerbase?

Would be a nice incentive to use “LOWER PING” for once though.

That’s 1 Frenzy-match with 4 taps staying alive.

#10

Why Frenzy though?

There’s some funny ones you got in there.

How about additionally:

Not again!
Get disconnected from a match.

No noobs allowed
Kick a player who is below Re-Up 50.

I am the only boss on this battlefield
Kick all other players on wave 50 of a Horde match.

Those are obviously meant to become serious achievements… not

Because 1-50 isn’t a fight against AI, it’s a fight against boredom.

Then at least ramp it up to 25 completions as well and not only 3. Frenzies take about as long as an Escape (maybe slightly longer).

#13

20-30 minutes on average if you’re not straight trying to speedrun it. Longer than most Escape hives.

#14

And require more player than Escape. It’s not gonna happen either way so it’s pointless to argue about it.

#15

TC never properly balanced such grinds anyways so who cares really.

They could just add one for each Horde Mode. I personally find Frenzies more boring than regular Horde.

#16

Definitely gets dull

I’d like a 20-25 wave horde like there has been in the past. Frenzy can be a tad short and the 50 is major effort.

#17

Nah, Frenzy is fine imo. They should rework or add more spawns though. Maybe introduce the Flock as a normal enemy, since you never get to see it in Frenzy for some reason.

#18

Dull is an understatement. The 25 wave Frenzy in Gears 4 - which I consider to be “true” Frenzy unlike the 12 wave chinese knockoff pretending to be Frenzy - was a large reason of why I kept playing that game even into the third year of its lifespan, in no small part due to providing actually random enemies instead of 100% predictable “patterns” where the only variety is which of them you get.

Neither of the modes in Gears 5 provide me with the same entertainment at this point. I’ve effectively abandoned playing 50 wave runs at this point unless somebody asks me to help with it, and already barely touched them in Op 2/3.

Although more variety certainly helps more than 25 waves, I still would prefer it to be longer bc some classes need more perks to be at their highest potential and 12 waves barely gives you that for any duration.

Most people don’t have access to better internet, you can’t blame poorer countries for bad internet or some people who may be in a lower income household, they deserve access to the game too. Internet gatekeeping is low tier bro.

I just love how this thread changed its course into players innovating new achievements that are based on their personal grievances and experiences with Gears 5.

I’ll share some of my ideas for achievements:

I am part of history
Log into Gears 5 when a new update launches and subsequently witness a game breaking bug rolled along with it.

Thief!
Have your GP taken away from you when a ranked lobby dissolves

Dutiful player
Submit a support ticket to report a bug

Invisible Man
Submit a support ticket, but receive no response from the help desk for more than 6 months.

Botwalker of Sera
Win a ranked match by avoiding roadie-running and sliding

Hey? I thought they disabled this!
Toggle the game chat back ON in the options menu.

Annoying teammate
Spam Private Casan’s “Laugh” emote more than 20 times during a ranked match.

I am illiterate
Play any horde or escape match on Master difficulty, and be the sole reason for your teams failure because you didn’t read the modifiers.

I am…inevitable
Witness a 200+ ping player in a versus or ranked match

Are you an idiot?
Buy an MG turret on Wave 1 in Horde (any difficulty)

So…close
Inflict 99% Gnasher damage on an enemy in a ranked/ versus match

No regrets
Uninstall Gears 5
