MUCH BETTER METHOD POSTED IN THE COMMENTS:
*Credit to DX HeadHunter and StockierHeart
Game mode: KOTH (didn't test other)
Map: Mercy
Mode options
Fill with Bots: ON (Beginner)
Ring time: max
Points to win: min
Friendly Fire: ON(NO KILL/DBNO)
Weapon respawn: After pickup
Switch all weapons: Incendiary granades
Damage Modifier: Freezing
As soon the game starts you want to get your team all together and the way u do so is by slowly walking near them, so they move (dont ask me why this happens). Once the four are grouped, throw a granade on the ground (the fire spreads on the direction you are throwing) and jump right in the fire, once you unfreeze, step back and throw the second one, them jump back again. Soon u unfreeze, make a run for another nade.
To maximize your damage, just go for the 3 nearest nades (spawn, middle and boltok).
The match will simply end if you reach the time limit (which is 25 min) unless you win the round, and that's why u set up max points per ring and min to win. So just make sure u win before the time limit, if u want another round without going to lobby.
By doing this I was getting almost 8 million damage in 25 min.
10,000,000 damage per hour is comfortably attainable using this method. This is the optimal way to rack up damage. However, it only works on damage and not kills or assists so it would of course make most sense to complete these achievements first (using the top voted solution by Lambent Lail):
Now, you should have about 35-40 million damage left to obtain this achievement, meaning you should be roughly 60-65% complete towards your 100 million damage.
Select the map called AllFathers Arena (It should be the first map when you create a private versus lobby):
You’ll need 2 Xbox’s and at least 3 controllers to make this optimal. If you only have 3 controllers then you can use the 3 controllers on your 2nd Xbox to sign in and select what teams you’ll be on. Then you can connect them to your Xbox with your main profile on it (this will disconnect them from the 2nd Xbox but that’s ok) and again, select the teams. You want to play 5 against 1. That 1 on the other team is one of your guest accounts or the 2nd account on your 2nd Xbox. You will be damaging your team mates.
Game mode: King Of The Hill
Weapon Substitutions: Everything must be changed to Incendiary Grenades
Here’s your KOTH settings (I’ve missed out all irrelevant settings - these are the only important ones):
Fill with Bots: OFF
Rounds to Win: 1 (this will last 25 minutes so you won’t idle out)
ROUND TO SCORE LIMIT: 270
Friendly Fire: REDUCED (NO KILL/DBNO)
Weapon respawn: After pickup
You will now stand your 4 team mates bunched together at the location shown in the video and you will grab the closest grenades in a clockwise fashion and throw them at your team mates, maintaining constant damage by spacing out your grenades and keeping the fire burning. I show an example of the timing in my 2 minute video below. You will be getting 1 million damage every 6 minutes if you replicate what I’m doing in the video. Make sure to throw the grenades just in front of the group. The fire spreads forward from where the grenade lands. I knocked out this achievement in 3.5 hours after getting my 100,000 kills and 50,000 assists done by doing this:
Edit: studlybambi says damaging yourself adds more damage. You can find his comment below or in the comments:
“I would like to echo what other people have said about taking damage as well. I was able to get at least 7% every 25 minutes which works out to about 15%-16% an hour with loading times. So it's definitely worth jumping in the fire yourself on the first grenade and then throw the second one and go get some more.”

you can now do this solo it takes longer but hey you dont need any extra Box or Controllers
In the Game setting do
- fill bots
-then go to All weapon replace
-its right under the gameplay setting and do incendiary grenades only on that
and here comes now the part where you can this grind solo for unknow reason the bots Bug out and dont move that its perfect even your mates dont move now try to push them all in one Spot in your spawn and that its now spam the fire nades on them till you want to quit the grind the best about that its you can do as much rounds you want because you cant idle out if you play only with your 1 controller in 25 minutes i do 3,5 million damage that its a way you can do it with only 1 controller

Hi. Read this comment from another Gears 5 solution. This should explain for you:
So I had this problem with the achievement tracker not logging any progress. AT the longest time it was stuck at 50 percent and no matter what I seemed to do it just stayed there.
Well, as it turns out, the tracker had been moved to 50 percent incorrectly for some reason. It was tracking my progress, but it wouldn't display it properly until I passed 50 percent. It finally ticked to 51 percent on my 12750th kill and since then it has been tracking normally.
I'm willing to bet this is the same issue that the people above are complaining about.
