How to unlock the Bernie is Back achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

You can use the skin of Bernie you unlock when you reach Soldier V rank in the Tour of Duty, or you can buy her with Gold coins in the store.

The easiest way to do :
Custom LAN
Any gametype you want (pick KOTH or Execution 2.0 to progress on the other related achievements)
1 round to win
Set bots to true

Lock EVERY slot except yours.
The game will start with you against nobody and you'll win it immediately.
If your tracker doesn't show any progress, hard reset your Xbox One and retry (it worked for me this way).

Update info from PyroCryoXC1V: if you're having an error saying the game can't be started without another player, unlock one slot on your team. It will be filled by a bot and you'll still get the victory as soon as the game starts.

You can use this strategy to unlock the following achievements :
- Trusted Advisor (you'll need to unlock Vrol first, either by buying him in the store or reaching the General rank in Tour of Duty)
- Grave Consequences
- Destroyed Beauty
- Last Rites
- Back in Styles
- In Total Control

Ah didn't know the characters unlocked in the tour, awesome! Though Vrol is the very last, I may buy him with the iron I get getting up to Bernie, as shes only around 60 stars away.

About a week or so if you do the daily challenges every day.

This works, but i had to keep one slot open to work, open a slot on your team and lock all enemies then you won’t get ‘error failed to start game’ pop up

This did not give me credit until I opened a slot on my team and won with a bot. Simply loading in solo and winning did not give credit towards the wins with Bernie

@TrueWickedone: that's already mentioned in the solution after the previous comment from PyroCryoXC1V, the tracker doesn't progress for some people who then have to open a slot on their team.

I imagine you have to buy them as the tour of duty you mention ended long ago.

2k coins in the store for armoured beanie (if you look via characters it only shows buying a bundle for real money and the 4k skin)

So I just found out you can longer start a game just by yourself, you have to have at least one more player on the opposing team, either bot or signed in with another controller. Everytime I try to start a game by myself it says "Error Failed to start game 0x8019019c below, which I think they just did this because last week I was able to get the Bernie is Back achievement by starting a game with only myself but I can't do that for Vrol this week.

Having reached a certain rank, you will receive a character for free. After which, having chosen Bernie, you need to win any 5 games of the confrontation mode.
