Thanks to ClockWrkPhantom, Lythiris and ssippiee who have made great suggestions to use the Brazil servers and all and many more have unlocked the achievement in doing so.
1. Go to clubs and find a Brazilian club.
2. Find someone in the Brazilian club that is playing Infinite Warfare.
3. Join the game and start friending everybody in that lobby. (recent players works too)
It's as simple as that, make sure you add enough people and you can always spam join game for a few minutes to get in. If the lobby has only a few players it can start to pull players from other regions which is not good, find a new lobby.
Everything below this is old information and will be left in the case that using Brazilian servers does not work for you.
Update: as of December 4th, 2016, I've tried all solutions that have been posted below, none of them are definite solutions.
Update: as of January 11th, 2017, I played one game after the update today and was awarded the achievement. This seems to be only a coincidence.
Update: as of April 15th, 2017, Heraizen and RYU KHAL NL have stated that deleting the cache MAY fix this achievement even for new players.
As requested I'm listing how to clear Xbox cache below
1. Press and hold the power button on the front of the console until it powers down completely.
2. Unplug the power cable from the back of the console so that the power brick in not connected to the console.
3. Press the power button on the console three or four times. This will ensure that any remaining power in the battery is drained, clearing the cache on the console.
4. Plug in the power cable back into the console.
5. Wait for the light on the power brick to change from white to orange.
6. Turn on the console using the power button.
Some of these steps are not mandatory but only help to raise the chance of a successful cache reset.
These steps should guarantee to delete your Xbox One's cache.
If anyone has any questions pm me. I once spent months trying to get this achievement just like you most likely are. Please report your progress.

I can also confirm this: when you play with an account which didnt start this game, if you play infected and get 5 wins in a row the achievement will always unlock, tried it with 2 other accounts.
I replied to a comment made by someone else here if you are interested:
https://community.callofduty.com/t5/Call-of-Duty-Infinite-Wa...
Also, did the progress bar go up with every win?
Just confirming that it wasn't in the patch notes.
I have Recovered my gamertag And Cleared the Cache countless Times!!
I Only Ever played Infected!! I Hardly ever got any kills!.
And i Had a Win streak of 14!..
This might be superstition, but I pulled up the achievements list, moved the Dominion achievement to the top, and kept it snapped while I played (and won) my final game of Infection. It switched over to the Unlocked tab but didn't give me the popup notification. I exited the game, closed the achievements list and relaunched it, then it gave the popup notification as soon as it refreshed.
I suppose it's fixed
After I removed my profile I removed the game and cleared the cache. I then re-download my profile and reinstalled the game. I didn't however had wins in different game modes, only around 170 wins in infection. After I did the above I got another 5 wins in infection and got the achievement...
Oh well
Also if there's a gun you can unlock, for me - despite being a Season Pass owner - I didn't have the VPR. So I completed the Challenge to win 12 games whilst getting a kill with the X-Eon.
When this challenge completed - the same game that was my 12th win for the VPR - popped the achievement for me.
So I recommend trying to complete a challenge to unlock a weapon. If that challenge involves wins, even better.
If that doesn't pop it - I didn't do anything else differently. I played, I won some, and I lost some.
Perhaps I played for a long enough time duration. Sometimes I only play for an hour or two. I played MP for about 4+ hours. Maybe that helped too. I don't often afford a lot of time to play MP.
I opened all the supply drops I had etc, then went to armoury and prototype lab and upgraded my NV4 to Vigilance and then the very next game it unlocked as soon as the final kill cam was playing.

Maybe we should try playing with people in other server regions
I'll also try a different server then.
^ How'd u get on the Brazilian servers do u have to get a host from another region or does the game allow u to switch servers?
I needed like +/- 20 games in Brazilian servers to pop it, took me 3 days
Should add something to the solution about the Brazil lobby. Took me two sessions to pop it.
I have unlocked this achievement on two accounts now. The first account I unlocked this on was during the beginning of the game. I had well over 100 wins and it did not unlock until roughly 1 month after the release of the game (sometime in December of 2016). It unlocked immediately after an update, and it was a my games and apps update, not an in game update.
For this account I have just unlocked the achievement on, I had major difficulties unlocking it, like most people attempting to earn this in last 4 or 5 months. I installed the game on 2 xbox ones, and would play one or 2 games, reset the cache, switch to the other xbox, play a few games, reset the cache, and i would repeat this process. I had around 400 wins. I played in United States. A strange thing I noticed everytime I switched xboxs however was that every time my game loaded up the main menu was that I was asked what server state I wanted to sync, my xbox ones saved data, or my xbox live saved data, every time I tried to pick my xbox live saved data, the game was unable to retrieve the data. I waited once for almost 2 hours and it was still stuck trying to retrieve it. So i was forced to pick my xbox ones saved data instead of the most current data which would be xbox lives saved data. I have no clue if this particular interaction has any impact on the dominion achievement but it does at the very least indicate that the servers on this game struggle to recall and retrieve data.
I personally believe that this achievement is quite similar to the way xbox achievements unlock. I'm sure many people have had this happen to them or it has not happened to them they at least know someone who has had it happen to them which is when they unlock an achievement and the message, "Done! Unlocking..." appears. Now eventually over time this eventually fixes itself and it is completely unlocked. I believe this game has a built in trigger that is supposed to unlock after 5 wins, but if a lot of people unlock it simultaneously the queue for unlocking the achievement gets backed up and it takes a manual "flush" to set it up. My guess is casual players who are next in line to unlock the achievement just never go back and play a game to unlock the achievement so there is a very long list of people who are awaiting the achievement upon completing a game of multiplayer but they either quit or gave up the multiplayer of the game. I hope this makes sense to everyone, I know it may sound confusing. My guess as to why this achievement is easily unlocked in a different server region is because there are less players on the server which means the queue for unlocking the achievement is also much lower as well, which obviously makes it easier to obtain. I can't say if dedicated servers or a player hosted lobby makes a difference in counting for the achievement, but I doubt it matters, I would be surprised if it makes a difference, however I can not be sure. I personally played on the japanese server by using a VPN, but adding people through clubs and other methods and joining games off of them would work as well. I used PIA VPN with a USB to Ethernet Adapter. If anyone would like to try doing this through this method here is a video link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtJIXzfFUqA) that I think easily tells you how to set it up. PIA vpns do cost money however, so if you want to get this for free you probably want to do what Lythiris suggests in his comment above. Using a VPN would however get you into a brazilian or asian game server everytime you search as opposed to joining off randoms which may or may not be different server regions.
I unlocked this achievement after about 35 games in asian servers, with 400 + games first played in US. I can only hypothesize why this achievement works like it does, and honestly most people probably do not care about how it works, just how to get it and once they get it they do not care at all. For those curious about the achievement and it's irritating quirks you may find this interesting.

these are all, at time of writing, playing infinite warfare so get in guys !!
Yesterday I tested it with adding some Brazil players with no success.
Today I tested it with an OpenVPN connection to a Brazil OpenVPN server. But before I did this, I cleared the cache of my Xbox. Then I set up an OpenVPN connection to Brazil and it seemed to work for me. (Read about this solution in a PS forum, where someone used an OpenVPN connection to Japan to get this achievement on the PS4.)
All in all, It took me about 100 games trying to connect with Brazilian players ( i had roughly 60 wins to 40 Losses) just add a bunch of Brazilians players and hope for the best.... also i usually scrolled through these clubs (Brasil Multiplayer, Call of Duty Brasil Offical, Mestre das Armas) for randoms who were playing
Good luck
According to activision support this achievements has been patched and they suggest to play the game as normal and it will pop automatically
After the killcam the achievement unlocked.
Using the Xbox Windows 10 app, connect to your console and stream the game to your PC. The amount of bandwidth required for streaming will adversely affect your connectivity to your online match, and may cause the game to become increasingly laggy as the match progresses. When I unlocked the achievement, my game was virtually unplayable (and I had a 1-bar connection when viewing the scoreboard). Of course, this may depend on your router setup and network strength (I'm connected to my router wirelessly, on a separate floors). If you have a streaming-friendly router, and never noticing any lag spikes when streaming, then obviously this may be a moot point.
Let me know if this works for other people : )
also theres people who dont lag at all and still get it..
also lot of othere people have got it while joining mid-match, mm... just wudnt really go saying that lag is the permanent key. but you are getting somewhere with your claims..
It would of just given more "confirmation" that complaining works.. since it's happened to so many others aswell. Hehe.
Congrats.

Joined a game in progress. Lost the match. Achievement popped during kill cam. MANY of the other players in the match I had played with before.
Good luck
If you want to get your wins up play infected. If you don't want a loss on your record join a session in progress.
i had 110 wins and i tried joining brazilian players in their match but it never unlocked for me, but after i used the VPN software it unlocked in the screen with the top players, 1st match like i said and we lost it...yaayy i can move on to other games :D
I'm about to prestige on this with 112 tracked wins, more in the calling card tracking in the barracks. This is starting to get tedious, tried everything. I suppose i'll keep trying.
So either it can be coincidence, or few selected lucky ones gets it after an update.
Solution for Dominion In Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Played one game using Brazilian VPN, popped at the end of the first match (loss)
Thanks in advance
Check the "Recent winners" tab on the right side of the page.
I think that it's glitched and that it's more luck related, playing in Brazilian servers didn't help you at all. And it's almost impossible to find a lobby full with Brazilian players only, we get frequently matched with people from all of Latin America. Normally we play against people from Argentina, Chile, Colômbia, even mexicans are included.
Anyway, good luck everyone.
If any foreign player sees this and still plays IW, invite me sometime if you wanna help me get this.

But i just read the solution.. What a joke..
When I was in a match lobby I frequently checked other gamers that had a similar rank as me (27) to see if they had the achievement. One guy unlocked the achievement yesterday but most with 15-100 wins didn't. (moral of the story is lots of people are still not getting the achievement after 5 wins).
The ONLY really laggy match I encountered was my last one in which the achievement popped.
I'm certain playing a laggy game has a great chance to unlock the achievement at the end, provided the player has at least 5-10 wins beforehand.
Don't worry about getting overall 1st in anything. Just play team based modes and/or Infected.
The time to move on this achievement is NOW people! Matches are getting SPARSE! I couldn't find any matches in about 1/2 of the game modes and some others took forever. Don't let this achievement get lost forever by not trying just a little more.
I sincerely wish all of you the best of luck getting this. Keep playing!!!
If anyone has a solution could they message my xbox ganertag please?
Thanks
1. If this is the first achievement you go for
2. Winning 5 matches in a row
3. Winning 5 different game types
4. Winning in 5 different regions
5. Having DLC or not
And thanks to everyone for the advice to this point
upto 30 wins in several different modes...nothing. guess i gotta go till 200 wins like everyone else.
and like other cod's...this has a horrible unbalanced multiplayer.
I have a australian friend who has this game, got him to join a TDM match. I tried to join him several times with no luck. It kept saying unable to join host while game is paused...now heres the wierd part...
He quit out to find another match and i kept trying to join him through the games join feature. It finally joined a match he wasnt even in !! i dont know if it was a australian server and there was no lag but i didnt search for a game myself, just kept pressing y and choosing join game on his gamertag.
played TDM, lost massively 53 -100....and in the final kill cam the cheevo popped....like wtf is wrong with this achievement lol
"Normal" TDM you can play till you weighing 1000pounds.. and still nothing that pops.. I can tell you that for a fact.

I live on the east coast so first I played games on the east coast severs. Then I went to California for vacation and joined an east coast player from my recent players and it unlocked after I won. I was also playing on a hotspot so maybe the poor connection was what caused it to unlock. Whatever the case the achievement is possible by playing in the U.S.
I'm from Mexico and played on an Australian server after an infection game it poped
Maybe someone know someone else that can help?
Edit: since people have been messaging me I have to clarify that In no way I’m able to help or put you in contact with Australian players they were randoms and I don’t have contact with Australian players that play this game thank you.
It looks like they are looking into it...:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinitewarfare/comments/5bjly0/dom...
I did every suggestion above multiple times and they didn't work, my guess is just keep playing it'll pop eventually.
And for your interest, while the achievements themselves have always unlocked in the past, the process that leads to unlocking an achievement has been full of bugs, glitches and other problems in almost all Call Of Duty's.
Looking at COD 1, 2 and 3. Campaigns (BO1 Rebirth, BO3 loading screens). And especially Zombies (Gorod Krovi's EE, every other fucking Treyarch map ever made (bullshit deaths, invisible barriers killing you, errors, freezes etc.)). And don't even get me started on the servers fucking you over during an achievement attempt (especially on the later Call Of Duty's, looking at you: BOIII)...
I've also got all achievements in this franchise (except for the W10 version's and BOIII on the 360). The only thing I wanted to point out was that the achievements have never been faulty before, but that the game sometimes is.
Parts dropping out of bounds on the Gorod Krovi EE, the Leper being stuck outside of the map, hitting a death barrier in Revelations while you shouldn't. Glitches and bugs like that do prevent you from obtaining an achievement. Sadly I've had a lot of those negative experiences with the COD games, hence my frustration in the previous post, sorry about that.
On topic:
More and more support people are responding to gamers in need on the Call Of Duty forums and Twitter. They're now telling us that they are aware of the problem and that they are working on it (but they do not have a clue when it's going to be fixed). As long as the developers are aware a fix will come some day!
[Source: I've talked to 4 ATVIAssist agents, called Activision, send them videos, screenshots and everything and I'm keeping an eye out on Twitter and multiple forums every day].
Anyway, i find this situation pretty funny, everyone writes a comment where they complain about the achievement not unlocking in any way, and then, the achievement finally pops after some matches. Maybe TrueAchievements is the right fix, who knows .
There are a bunch off theories floating around, but this work for me. So here is what I did, added a bunch Brazilians form my friend how got the achievements hours before. Joined a lobby, after spamming join for 5-10 min. I would suggest to keep spamming instead off waiting till the status goes to in pre game lobby. As there can always be a opening, and you want that foot in the door.
Once your in add everyone, do it in phases or you can get kicked for inactivity before you add the other 10 in the game.
Then get a a list going and hope they go to other lobby’s. You want to hop around. I played about 17 games in Brazil. 10 off those where in the same lobby. Then I hopped around about 4-5 times and it unlocked on a win with me leading. (What is funny because I had a 1 second delay)
So if you can it’s worth the risk to go from lobby to lobby. Since a lot off people got it on there first game in a lobby. You have to find the lobby. Or that’s what it looks like.
Why Brazil? I don’t know, there are theories about it not working on the dedicated servers and Europe and USA have really good coverage. The rumour is that the achievement broke with updates and you need to be in a peer to peer match witch is also nowhere in Europe and USA. Especially with a good connection that most people here have. So that’s maybe why some people still get it in there own region. And you have a lot higher chance off getting peer to peer in Brasil because off less coverage. With dedicated servers.
To be fare I don’t claim to know why, but I know that I won around 330 matches in Europe and a few in Brazil. It unlocked after 2 days off trying in Brazil instead off months in Europe. Maybe where all lucky and is it still not working for everyone. But the last 8 people that commented here got it this way. In relatively short time off one and other.
So I hope this might help someone.
Good luck to everyone else that’s still trying.
And this week I decided to play more consistently taking AypL v2’s advice. I played maybe 4 out of the 7 days this week where I just played 1 or 2 matches for 2 of the days. So not sure if that contributed to me unlocking it but it’s worth mentioning as again I used to only play a bunch one day and then not come back for 1+ months. Also Cmt iLLUSiiON was who I joined when I got the achievement.

Patch Notes:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinitewarfare/comments/907tbr/upd...
Mulitplayer
• Trek-50: Updated hit location to help give more consistency on collateral shots. • G-Rail – Barrage: Slowed the overall rate of fire (both maximum and minimum)
• Atlas (all variants): Adjusted recoil to make it a little more competitive with other LMGs. Adjusted the gun kick to provide a better view down range.
• Atlas – Artifice: Adjusted the kick to make it little more friendly. Adjusted the burst cooldown to bring in-line with other weapons
• Auger (all non-Epic variants): Lowered longer range damage to keep the Auger more true to its role as a close range LMG
• X-Eon – Horizon: Fix for the Nuke passive that was allowing a second Nuke to be called in after only gaining 10 kills once the first Nuke was called in
• VPR – Hades: Fixed an issue with the passive not triggering correctly
Doesn't mention anything about fixing the achievement but it can't be a coincidence that the first game I play it unlocked, after weeks of playing and earning 150+ wins across several different game modes.
Got 5 Wins, nothing. 6 Wins nothing. -> Ok definitely bugged.
Setup the VPN on my PC, connected my Xbox, searched for a game for ages (was around noon in Brazil and not many people were playing) and it popped after the first match I played from the brazilian matchmaking.
Joining people I played with previously didnt work, even with the VPN, it hat to be a game found through the matchmaking with VPN.
So this is definitely the way to get this achievement.
- To my knowledge I was not on any brazilian or foreign server- I just kept playing regular infections games like normal (I had also played TDM, Domination, Free For All, and Gun Game matches and I believe those are the only types I played due to low player counts in other playlists).
- The game was not noticeably laggy at all. Just like any other game.
- I had cleared my Xbox cache about an hour before I got it, but had played 3-5 more games after having cleared it... I don't think this had anything to do with it.
- No VPN or anything running on my Xbox- again, just played as normal.
- I was never in the Winner's Circle/top 3 players (I was basically idling in the games)
In short... and I know you'll hate this answer... it's just random. So, so random. So, so buggy. Just keep playing (I recommend infection- games go quick and you'll win most of them due to the nature of the playlist and people quitting out on the other team). I got it after 30ish matches... you'll get it sooner or later, I hope. Good luck.
Acquired it after a standard TDM match as the #1 MVP on my team.
I'm grateful I didn't save this for last.
All I can say to those non-Australian gamers out there struggling with this is good luck, there’s nothing worse for an achievement hunter than these sort of things
What I did to get it (don’t know if it’s related or not) :
-DL nordvpn on my phone
-subscribe 1 month (10€)
-did a connexion sharing of my iPhone 4G to the Xbox
- did something like 20 games with Brazil VPN on
==> nothing
Switched to Australian vpn server ==> nothing
Switched to Hong Kong vpn server ==> 1 game (lost), bingo.
I then invited a friend to get it, he got it also.
I switched of account with my vpn off in the SAME game and the achievement didn’t pop.
The game was not laggy at all, just a normal game.
Will try it another day with the VPN on and see what it does.
Hope it will be useful :)
178 wins on my combat record. All game modes played, wins and losses on all of them. Come within the Winners Circle many times. I've prestiged once, I've prestiged a weapon before.
Tried a 5 win streak but nothing. Tried 1 win for 5 consecutive days but nothing. Tried clearing XB1 cache, tried deleting my profile, tried deleted saved game data, tried uninstalling and reinstalling game.
Nothing seems to work. 178 wins and I'll keep going until it pops.
For reference I only just started the game yesterday so as of 14 April 2017 the achievement is still glitched even for new players.
These may not be necessary but these are the things I did before hand:
• Over 5 wins (I had 15 wins)
• At least 1 win in 5 different modes
• In Winners Circle at least 5 times
• Achieved a 5 Win Streak at least once
The achievement unlocked for me after following these steps:
1. Deleting my profile
2. Clearing Cache
3. Downloading Profile
4. Played 1 game of Infected and won (as MVP)
Achievement unlocked but didn't pop up (could be because I also got a message as the game ended).
I should probably also note that just before following these steps, I cleared my Cache without deleting my profile, lost 1 game of Gun Game and the achievement did not unlock.
Unplug the power cable from the back of the console so that the power brick in not connected to the console.
Press the power button on the console three or four times. This will ensure that any remaining power in the battery is drained, clearing the cache on the console.
Plug in the power cable back into the console.
Wait for the light on the power brick to change from white to orange.
Turn on the console using the power button.
These steps should guarantee deleting your Xbox Ones cache.
However, this wednesday (november 15th, 2017) activision support posted that they are "currently investigating" this achievement so who knows. Not very optimistic at all however as every time i get my hopes hope they just crush without any sympathy...
https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Known-Issu...
https://community.callofduty.com/t5/Infinite-Warfare-Support...
I noticed that the lobbies against Brazil players usually seem to have an endless message saying "connecting to matchmaking service..." instead of seeing the match countdown. If this game does have dedicated regional servers that are causing the problem with unlocking this achievement, then maybe that message indicates I wasn't connected to a server and that I was playing on a local host in Brazil. Maybe this achievement is not quite broken when locally hosted or you at least need to be playing on a regional server where it's not broken, such as Brazil.
Cant add much more..
113 wins (108 on challenges), 4.0 W/L ratio
The way I got it was I joined 1 of my "brazilian friends" called UzielUrias - for a multiple times it kept saying cant connect.. cant connect.. cant connect.. untill finally it did connect, and Uziel wasnt actually in match or matchlobby, he was on mission select lobby. I guess he was having a short break or something.. so I waited for few moments, and then he started searching for team deathmatch and it automatically tagged me along cuz I was in his gameparty (not sure if he even noticed).
Funny enough, the match was very high ping/latecy for me.. cuz it took a while till my bullets hit where I was shooting..
We joined mid-match to losing situation, and ended up winning, and achievement popped at winners circle.
Luck 4 the win, I guess.
I told Mickymuse to join me too, and he joined the same lobby but he didnt get the achievement.
If I got the achie on 1st match, it was 3rd match that micky joined. Maybe it had nothing to do with the situation or just too many players changed, cant tell.
Micky also joined at the start of the match, not mid.
Ou, and I only had matches on Infected and Team Deathmatch gametypes. Didnt touch others.
And I was also just winning 1 game on infected (1st on circle), and 1 win on joining brazilians (winning team) like per day or couple days.
I also cleared my cache like 2 times and deleted my profile like 2 times, but that was week ago. And there was abouts 8 wins between that and achie.
Details:
145 wins
3 overall MVP 1st
Winner's Circle around 10 times
125 were in Infected
15 were in Team Deathmatch
8 Hard Core Team Deathmatch
2 Domination
2 Search and Destroy
I read all 340+ posts on here and I tried this:
This morning I deleted my save file and Game Update File
I played normally in different modes for probably 6 hours
I got into a Team Deathmatch an hour ago with 2 "Mexican" named individuals and the lag was terrible. I was rubberbanding all over the place.
I remembered several commentators mentioning a very laggy game they had and at the end the achievement popped. I was also thinking at the time I hope I don't get disconnected and that If could simply finish the match to see if the achievement would pop.
Guess what.
IT DID! It's in the lag, guys. The lag.
My solution? Find the laggiest game you can. Somehow. Foreign players. Strict NAT on your router. Something. The Lag brings out the achievement.
The player I joined was named QuintinHustle. He was playing split screen with someone. Hustle and Hustle1.
Sorry I don't have any more concrete information.
God speed.
TLDR: i think the achievement is backed up in the infinity ward servers so i would recommend only playing 2-3 games every week or 2 and it should eventually unlock without as much time commitment
So a lot of luck came to me today. I haven’t really been able to use the lag method because I live in the city and my internet is too hard to lag even with Brazilians. There was a massive thunderstorm today that effected my internet so this was a huge break and a lot of my Brazilian friends I’ve added over the few moths were on so I decided to give it a shot.
Few matches in and nothing, I decided to do a cache reset, and while I’ve done it before on my S, this is the first time I’ve really given it a go on my new X and I decided to take someone’s advice and let it sit unplugged for about 10 minutes. Also my internet was still being a pain and was only being a little bit spotty, so when I got back I decided to stream the game to my surface, download files, watch vids etc, anything to lag me out. I played another match, joined one of my Brazilian friends but it was a mix of Brazilian and other regions, I didn’t get the countdown timer, but just the “connecting to matchmaking service message” so also good, but I only got about 3 MS of lag with occasional drops and lag. Got another win, but wasn’t enough and was left hopeless again.
I decided to give it one more go for the day, as another Brazilian just got on, and I was able to get in his lobby while he was searching before anyone else was able to (also a first). The lobby merged with another mix, some players from the last lobby, and some new, we got paired with all the elite high ranked players though, and didn’t get the countdown message displayed, so everything good here. I didn’t have extremely bad lag again, but players on the other team did,and overall the match was decently laggy for everyone, but they were getting destroyed by our team. Some people got frustrated and left, and had to do a host migration (really shaking the servers out with everything I can) and eventually all the players left, we had a team forfeit timer come up, and we won the game by forfeit. I also believe that was a first for me as well, and was a little bit laggy at the end of the match, I got the achievement pop actually in the lobby menu after this, but that could have been due to lag.
Finally and clearly all the stars had aligned for me today, and I was able to nab this achievement. I played the game since day one, so I thought maybe the achievement was glitched for my end and that I wa screwed. You will eventually unlock it, just keep playing. I took the advice of many and just kept playing through it even when I thought there was no hope. Thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone (I will list some of the more helpful contributors later, have to gather all information)
So the servers for Brazil seem completely dead now or at least very dodgy with what it was actually letting me join. For instance, I would end up in a lobby with only 2 or 3 people who would shortly back out after seeing nobody else was joining. A short time later, I would view them on Recent Players and join the game they had managed to find which was vastly populated. This however, failed to get me the achievement despite the game being very laggy and I tried many times with different people in Brazil. I also tried other servers too but wasn't able to find any games on them so I went back to Brazil.
I then saw comments posted by people above and also on the other solutions stating that, the way to get the achievement is, you have to find a match yourself while using the VPN, you cannot join one any other way, you have to wait for it to find one for you. This is 100% correct and it's what finally got me the achievement. I waited a long time and eventually it threw me into a lobby with many people. At the end of the game (Team Deathmatch), we lost and the achievement unlocked. Big thanks to every one who figured this out!
In short, use a VPN to connect to Brazil servers. Search for a match (Team Deathmatch seems the only active one), patiently wait almost forever for it to find one and then complete it. During searching for a match, if you get to a point where the game says 'Looking' instead of 'Searching', I'll recommend backing out and restarting the search as this means it's put you in your own lobby alone. Obviously, do this with the time zone difference in mind too. Good luck!

After trying to find Brazilian players with no succes i decided to use VPN to connect to such a server.
I had like 34 wins and 25 loses up to this point in multiplayer.
I used NordVPN wich is free trial for 7 days. I had made an account and installed the software to my laptop. In windows 10 under Network adapters settings, i have found the NordVPN adapter and under proprieties i have activate internet share with my ethernet build in network card. Then i hooked my xbox one thru a lan cable to my ethernet port on my laptop.
I then connected to a Brazilian server in the VPN software on my laptop.
I then just started the game on my xbox and searched for a Teamdeathmach . I found a game and played. The lag is insane and i was not able to do to much in that round so my team lost the round, but at the end of it my achievement popped.
So for me was working on the first try even if i lost the game.
Give it a try guys.
### UPDATE ###
The next day I have tried to get the achievement for two of my friends playing on their profile.
NordVPN had a problem and did not work correctly. For some reason after VPN ING myself to Brazil, after 30 seconds the iplocation Webbrowser showed I was actually in Canada Ontario. So i've played some round with no prevailing.
I used then another VPN service which is a payed one. expressVPn.
On both of my friend profile the achievement popped right after the first match I've played on Brazilian servers. So I think that's a triple confirmation that it works on Brazilian servers.
24 Jul 2018 12:19
If I bridge the connection from laptop to Xbox, it connects to the internet no problem. As soon as I run the vpn it either won’t connect or disconnect.
Any ideas as to why?
You can check your location after you connect at whatismyip.com or iplocation.com search Google.
60 odd wins, nothing.
Played one game using Brazilian VPN, popped at the end of the first match (loss)
Just keep trying.
BTW, I don’t know how this solution manage to get 1 negative vote, just because people don’t really know how to set up a VPN connection it doesn’t mean that the solution is not working. Haters I think.
i was strugling with finding any players on the brazil servers. so i connected to US (from central europe), ended up with a strict nat, and a really laggy game. Achievement popped in the first game.
Took several tries before the game would connect to the EA servers. Tried Brazilian, Australian and even US servers. The game would finally accept the internet connection once I used US servers. But after a win the achievement didn't unlock. So, I tried Australia again and the game finally allowed me to join matchmaking. Achievement unlocked right after the first win.
...now to cancel my NordVPN trial....
Struggled a little at first setting it up and connecting due to me not knowing what i was doing but once i did connect i got it on my first game.
Definitely worth a shot. All you need is an Ethernet cable, laptop and free trial NordVPN...job done!
Thanks Pisboy
Got 5 Wins, nothing. 6 Wins nothing. -> Ok definitely bugged.
Setup the VPN on my PC, connected my Xbox, searched for a game for ages (was around noon in Brazil and not many people were playing) and it popped after the first match I played from the brazilian matchmaking.
Joining people I played with previously didnt work, even with the VPN, it hat to be a game found through the matchmaking with VPN.
So this is definitely the way to get this achievement.
but you know what, it paid off.
I had to quit and restart the game a couple of times for it to find games but eventually I joined a standard TDM and as soon as the game was over (we lost) the achievement popped.
I'm glad I went trough the trouble now.
BTW the link to the trial is:
https://free.nordvpn.com/
(it doesn't show up in the main site that I could easily see)
other than that, all I can say is a huge thanks. this should be THE solution for winning this achievement and anyone that still wasn't able to get it should definitely give this a try

Took long enough!
Bottom line, even after the most recent patches on 12/17, it still seems totally random.

I had 50+ wins in TDM and other game modes, no unlock. It was my last one left. I borrowed from the guides, kept having to scroll down for comments.
https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/how-to-set-up-vpn-xbox-...
I used the wifi method. I tried using TunnelBear first, never worked. Connection issues and never even got my xbox to connect to the internet. I sprung for the NordVPN, and it worked first try.
It took maybe 15 minutes to find a match. TDM, I didn't experience terrible lag skip, though I did feel slow in the match. Lost the match. Achievement popped at the top 3 screen for me.
Trust me, worth the bit of headache to set it up.

Like many others I fell victim to this being the very last achievement stopping me from seeing that 100% Completed with this game.
As stated in previous comment, clear your system cache and it will enable you to make progress towards this achievement.
To do so go through the following steps.
-Network Settings
-Advanced,
-Alternate Mac
-Reset *this will restart your xbox*
-Remove your profile, then download it back
Start up infinite Warfare and play Infected game type, as long as you have at least 5 wins at the time of winning your round the achievement will pop. Hope this helps everyone out!

You CANNOT join an other player who is playing on the Brazilian servers or accept any invites or join someone trough the clubs because this will NOT grant you the achievement.

GLITCHED
This is supposed to be awarded for winning 5 matches in any game mode in Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer mode. It is glitched though, and is likely not to actually pop at 5 wins. Played normal it has taken people hundreds of wins to earn, though there is now a workaround of sorts that seems to have a high likelihood of unlocking the trophy.
It seems that there is some sort of issue with the North American and European servers/games, and people who primarily play in them won't have the trophy awarded anywhere near the correct number of wins that it should be. But if you're able to play in games with players primarily based in Asian countries (Japan seems to be the location that works most often) the trophy is much more likely to be awarded. This can be accomplished by joining in games in progress on players based in that location so you get in games with players from that country. By adding someone who is from that country as a friend then joining a game in progress from the multiplayer menu you should then be put in a game with players based in location. After that you can stay in that lobby and get wins, and if the lobby gets disbanded you can join players met from those lobbies through the multiplayer menu. This still isn't guaranteed to award the trophy right away or at the proper 5 wins, but it's much more likely to be awarded within a reasonable number than most current players get it at playing normally in NA/EU based games.

It has been suggested that people try different game modes, ('Infected' mode is an easy way to get wins). Apparently it's been reported that being in the Winner's Circle makes no difference, it's based off of whether or not your team wins or not.

The multiplayer servers for Steam have also been broken since around May 2022.

There is a Steam post about it, and also Reddit posts you can seek out for your own proof.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/292730/discussions/0/51166502...
You're literally the second person ever to claim that the achievement could be achieved on PC with a VPN on brazilian servers.
The steam post you linked doesn't prove anything, I even messaged some of the posters in that topic to verify.

In the end, a person from India helped me, sent me an invite... although I had to wait for the players for a long time too (well, how long... about 20-25 minutes), they come in and then leave... but at least this way, and with vpn from 23:00 until then no players were found... Moscow time was approximately 6.30.. so it’s better to try at another time.. while we were waiting for the players, I checked the profiles, it seems to me that there were mostly Arabs in the lobby.. When trying to connect to an Indian, sometimes It gave the error Bamberga Error..then I completely restarted the game.
And one more thing... the game mode is not important for the trophy, we played a team battle (there were 19 victories in the Domination mode) and at the end of the match the trophy dropped, even though we lost)
Also, on the console there is a Dominion trophy community (upon request, only Dominion did not give me this community personally... so you need to enter the full name)
In the community, the admin helps the players, but perhaps everyone was asleep then, so it turned out “on their own” .
You will need a computer with 2 network cards (or one lan card and wifi, or a lan card and a phone connected via USB)
1. Connect your computer to the Internet (either through a free lan port, or via Wi-Fi, or through your phone as an access point)
2. Download tunnelbear (and register)
3. Connect the patch cord between the ps4 and the lan port on the computer’s network card.
4. Launch tunnelbear and select Hong-Kong as the server
5. right-click on the additional adapter that appears from tunnelbear in the windows network settings
6. Click on property-access-allow other computers on the network to access the Internet, below indicate the adapter from step 3
7. Go to the playstation network settings and establish a connection to the Internet through idle time - automatically
8. On ps4, go to the website 2ip.ru in a web browser and check that your location is Hong Kong
9. If everything is ok, then go into the game and play one round, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose.

To do this, you need to win 5 games in any mode, then find an Asian player and connect to him in the game and play one game (you may have to win 5 games). They gave me the trophy when I lost my first game on the Asian server.
I looked for Asian players here (I opened each one and looked at the region in "LATEST ACHIEVERS"):
