How to unlock the General of the Army achievement in Call of Duty: WWII - Definitive Guide

In general, it;s just a simple grind. However, there are a few tricks and tips to speed this up.

EDIT - You need to hit level 55 and max it out. After that, you'll be prompted to go to the General in the HQ area and prestige. You can find the entrance to the area with the General in just near the Division Prestige section

1) Play War Mode.

You'll find you get significantly more kills during playing this mode, and easy points from building or demolishing locations in the game. Matches can take anywhere from 4 minutes to 8 minutes realistically, and during this time it's pretty easy to get a significant amount of points. Just remember to build anything you see, or demolish anything that's already been built. Get to know the maps, and what scores you points. Being near the tank in Operation Griffin when it crosses the line in the first phase, for example, will net you a sweet 500 points.

2) Complete challenges.

Weapon challenges are pretty easy to snag, so make sure you're keeping an eye on them swapping out your load regularly to keep them coming. You might be an absolute beast with the Enfield rifle, but if you've already completed the challenges you're doing yourself out of some nice bonus points. Plus, if you're playing War Mode, it's easier to get those kills and level up the weapons you might not be that great with.

3) Contracts, orders etc.

Keep an eye on these, and always pick up the contracts that award bonus Exp. Normally, they are pretty simple ( 100 kills in 40 mins etc. ). War Mode makes these super simple.

@Xander RO You only needed to say "What level do you need to be." Their was no reason for you to even add level 15,148. Remember people can miss the simplest of things in their solutions. I know since I write solutions myself occasionally. Gonna take a guess here, you haven't even once written a solution when you knew what to do. Be respectful the guy toke time out of his day to write a solution of what he found to be the fastest way.

Roughly how long does this take? As in game play hours, because seriously, FUCK this multiplayer. By far the worst yet, and that's saying a lot considering the last 4 games....

Yes, screw this game indeed. It's basically every other cod with a ww2 skin. So many times I round a corner, put fifteen bullets in a guy and he one shots me, yet in the killcam I fired off no bullets. Great job letting us down again.

ImaginaryRuins, im with you on this one. I seriously don't feel like playing the multiplayer. There really shouldn't even be a solution for this achievement since you just do the same thing like any other Call of Duty. Dont worry NaggingGnat, I didn't thumbs down your solution.

iDracaryy, if you're playing on the Series S/X but still own XBox One Original or XBox One X, try to enter the Prestige there. Divisional Commander has glitched on me 2 times on the Series X but as soon as I go for it on the One X, its popped. I haven't risked on the General of the Army, I played all the way on Series X until maxing the Level 55, then switching to One X and prestige there. It worked with no issues.

Prestiges on SERIES S and it didn’t give me any sign until 20 mins later when it unlocked. Ta time stamp and activity feed gave me the time of prestiging other than 20mins later when it popped.

I deleted my ww2 data from console not from everywhere and hard reset my Xbox before it did unlock

Nothing beats Blops 1 and Blops 2 MP for me, but at least it's better than Blops 3, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, Walljump Warfare, Jetpack Warfare and all that crap. Though Core is as bullshit as ever when you get 3 AR hitmarkers or 4 SMG hitmarkers. Happily staying on Hardcore TDM / SnD. Some maps like USS Texas and Aachen makes you wonder if the devs even played their own game, and some of these spawns... and these terrible (NOT DEDICATED SERVERS) p2p connections... I'll take back what I said. Screw this game.

I was able to unlock mine successfully by playing on my older OneX instead of current-get Series X, just to be safe.

After maxing out rank 55, I closed out of the game, made sure I was on a wired connection, and fully shut down my console. I then turned it back on, entered the game, and let all menus load fully, so there were no choppy animations. Went right in to the HQ, which was populated by randoms, and made my way over to the general. I took my time reading the consequences of prestiging, and then hit A (twice) to confirm that I wanted to prestige. The achievement unlocked while an animation played once again listing all the consequences of prestige (level reset, etc.).

And I'm sure this made no difference, but I set my Xbox status as appearing Online. I often set myself to appear offline, but I went Online for this, just to be safe (?!)

Finally finished this. I can't say it was enjoyable. Took me a total of 20 hours, 51 minutes. And that's with a jaw droppingly good k/d of 0.96. I went for a lot of the challenges to speed up things, leveled up every division which gives you 5000 co each time. The amount of time it takes really depends on whether you get stuck in what I call 0 and 30 lobbies or 30 and 0 lobbies. If you manage to get in the latter stay in it for as long as you can. Painful, extremely painful. Seriously, fuck call of duty. This was my first cod purchase since bo3, and in finishing this statement I will say this, NEVER AGAIN will I buy another cod.

If they hadn’t had this achievement I wouldnt even have played multiplayer esp that of a first person shooter. Yeah many would tell me to get good but to hell with that. Nearly every War game is plagued by players using sniper rifles and they are like they don’t have to aim at all but can hit me from super-long distance. This is no fun at all

Yeah the servers (*cough* p2p connections, seriously WHY are there no dedicated servers for an AAA game like this...) are really bad. Constantly being kicked out games, not getting progress to wins as when the game ends it says 'lost connection to host', more error codes than Destiny, shooting at least 2 or 3 bullets around a corner and then the killcam shows you just standing there... such a broken mess. Had such high hopes for a good old MP again. Screw Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward. The only little hope I have left for a good CoD MP experience is if TreyArch goes back to its roots.

i just got this done and all i can say is the game is beautifull but the matchmaking is awefull, every lobby you go into you are put up against a team of players that are prestiged and all these players seem to do is sponge bullets and camp with sniper rifles especially in war mode!!!!.

To enter Prestige in Multiplayer you need to hit level 55 and then complete the remaining XP. Once you max out level 55 XP, you'll unlock the area in Headquarters to the right of the bunker which was formally blocked by a soldier. In here you can talk to the "General" and enter Prestige by pressing , which will reset you to level 1 but you'll be awarded the Prestige 1 badge as well as some other minor perks.

The XP required to hit level 55 will take significantly longer than that of Division Prestige. As with all Call of Duty games, the more kills you make and the more matches you win, the greater XP you'll be earning towards your Multiplayer level. You can view your Multiplayer level/XP on the right hand side when on the "Soldier" tab on the menu.

Whilst there is no "quick" way to go about levelling, you can increase your XP gains by completing Orders which reward Supply Drops. From these Supply Drops there's a chance you can get XP boosts that last for a limited time. You can view your "Active Boosts" on the same menu where you view your Multiplayer level. You can also earn XP from completing Challenges, which can be found under the "Dossier" section. Most of these Challenges are tiered, with each higher tier rewarding greater XP. There are also double XP events that will sometimes run in Multiplayer over weekends, so be sure to take advantage of those as well.

I advise you to play in the "war" mode, XP in this mode goes much higher than in others

I would like to clarify that you will receive this trophy only when you reach level 55 to the maximum, after which you need to go to the general’s headquarters and get the first level of prestige

As for the profitable game modes, it’s not a fact that “war” is the best. In terms of the HP/time ratio, the shipment 1944 card also plays well. Quick matches, average wins/losses. But in war you can ride for 20 minutes and if you lose, then you have little experience.

It is also quite common to get several days of double experience in the game. In order not to waste a lot of time, you can combine it with zombie trophies. That is, on normal days, play zombies, and during the double experience, play online.

The easiest and fastest way is to play only on the Shipment map.
This map is also the easiest to complete many contracts.

Level 55 - already an army general. But to receive the achievement of the same name, you need to gain prestige. This means that you need to not only reach level 55, but also completely complete it.
After this, the headquarters will have access to the general to gain prestige

As far as I understand, boost X2 to everything on an ongoing basis.
With it, ~56 lvl is taken in ~10 hours -+ 3 hours, depending on the skill in MP and the selected modes (don’t waste time on “war”, play “Shipment” quickly and easily).

Now, and as I have understood for a long time, the game has permanent double experience for everything. You can level up very quickly. I also found Shipment 1944 to be the fastest farming map, especially in Domination mode. Knocked out in 3 pm. I don't like multiplayer and my skill is naturally not very good. On average I received 40K per match (more if I win, less if I lose).

In War mode, you can get more experience, but the match can last much longer.
