How to unlock the I Was Born in a Crossfire Hurricane achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

At the very start of Act 1 Chapter 3 is your first opportunity to use this ability and a good spot to get this achievement, you will be fighting off Juvies with a pistol and unable to move. Kill the first four Juvies and then wait for the next three to get close to you, once they are all next to each other hold down cn_LT and press cn_Y. If they are close enough Jack will stun all three and get you the achievement, if you mess up you can pause the game and reload the current checkpoint. You can also use Jack's pulse ability by pressing cn_Y to see the Juvies easier, if you are playing on a harder difficulty this spot may not work as they might kill you before they group together.

Here is a video of me doing it if you need help, the first Juvie dies right at the start which is why it looks like I only killed 3.

Edit: This must be done when playing as JD, not Jack.

To stop Jack from shooting at the enemies, get him to use Pulse first to reveal the locations of the enemies. Somehow when I did that, he stopped shooting, and I was able to get three juvies to crowd me for an easy flash.

I managed to get this on a group of drones that were close to each other at the theatre plaza in Act 1. There's plenty of opportunities to get this achievements so just keep stunning stuff when there's a lot of enemies around.

I've found juvies not to be ideal for this because they move too fast but maybe I've just been too old to make it work. laugh

There's definitely a lot of opportunities to get it, this is just the first and happens to be an easy spot. I wouldn't reccomend using Juvies in general for it but they are scripted to group up at the start of the chapter.

Terrible advice.. Jack kills them before there’s a chance for three to group up

Could you update the solution to say that you must choose JD, and can't do this as Jack? I know it may seem obvious for some but it did cost me five minutes. Thanks!

Lots of opportunities for this one in the Campaign!

- Unlocking the "Range Boost" upgrade will help

- When you see a group of enemies aim at them and press cn_Y to send Jack to Flash them and if you manage to blind 3 of them then the achievement is yours :D

- I did this at the end of Act 1 Ch 3

I Was Born In Crossfire Hurricane Achievement Guide

This achievement can easily be earned at the start of ACT 1 CHAPTER 3. After the helicopter section of the mission, you will make your way into a room that has its wall taken out. There will be a bunch of Swarm drones that make their way into the building now and are generally bunched up together so wait a few seconds for them all to arrive then activate FLASH on one of the enemies for the achievement to pop.

If for some reason you didn't get it to pop then don't worry as you can just restart the checkpoint. It's important to note that the chances of you earning this achievement through the natural course of the game are high but here is a video guide below for those having trouble.

I just got this, basically when Baird tells you to equip it Jack you'll do a little exercise with 1 DeeBee then 2.. after that he'll ask you if you wanna run it again, click yes and you'll face 3 DeeBees, make sure to stun 1 of the back 1s to get all 3 then bleep bloop

In Act 1: Chapter 3 - This is war. At the point when your whole team was on the platform with Lancer GL, right after you picked it up, a group of swarm will storm in from opposite and eventually gather at the pool area, just wait for 3 of them (or more) be there and send Jack to flash them. And achievement will pop up few seconds after Jack returned to you. This is safer and even on Insane.

Please refer to below short video clip that I made.

My best advice for getting this achievement is to wait until you are in a situation where the enemy is swarming you, Juvies are a good example of an enemy that just flies at you in this game. Simply pick your moment when alot of them are onscreen and try to blast as many that are close together.

ALSO having as many upgrades to the power as you can get helps too!

Video below of the kind of situation you are looking for I got it done pretty early into ACT 3.

In Act 1 Chapter 3, near the start of the level after you have recovered and got back on your feet. Once you engage in the next set of enemies, shortly after opening fire you will be told by Del to use Jack's Flash ability. I did this on the next enemy I aimed my reticle at got the 3 stuns.

I created this video to help:


Hope this helps.

First you need to get this Jack skill. Enemies must be close to each other in order to stun them with one flash. Done as the campaign progresses.
