How to unlock the My Place in the Machine achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

This achievement is for completing five placement matches on a game mode in Versus - Ranked Play

To earn this achievement, you must do the following:

1) Select Versus.
2) Select Ranked.
3 Play all five placement matches on either King of the Hill, Team Deathmatch, Escalation or 2v2 Gnashers.

It does not matter whether you win or lose your placement matches.

Note: Five placement matches must be played upon first selecting a versus game mode. Once the placement matches have been played you will be placed into a tier dependant on how well you did.

I had an issue with the achievement not popping and upon quitting the game and reloading it back up, I was able to obtain it.

If you are pressing thumbs down on my guide, please let me know why in the comments below. If you are leaving a negative response due to something out of my control, please reconsider.

Glad I'm not alone. Placed Silver 2 in TDM and no achievement. Hopefully this doesn't end up like Halo 5's Warlord achievement.

This is extremely buggy for me as well. It hasn't popped for me either. But in the placement matches I've had a lot of connection issues, players getting in and out of the match non-stop, and I've been getting kicked from the matches for no good reason too.

Same for me. I have a placement in TDM but no achievement. I'm not going to play another ranked mode yet. It may unlock in a day or two or it may be permanently glitched for me on TDM. I don't want to use up my placement matches in the other modes until I'm confident at least one placement will count.

Add another one to the list. Didn't pop for me either. You'd think with a AAA title that had 2 tech tests could get their shit together and make sure their game will work when launched. But consistently we see that is not the case.

It unlocks, just be patient.

Mine didn’t at first. Went to bed and it unlocked when I signed in again. I played 1 game after the 5 placement games. Try that and turn your game off and on IT solution style

I think it irritates me more that other people are clearly getting the achievement and certain people don't. Developers need to stop launching games that aren't 100% working.

It finally unlocked for me similar to what others have already posted. Played 5 KOTH matches, no achievement, turned off the Xbox. Turned it back on a few hours later and the achievement popped when I launched the game. I think my original progress in TDM was lost so hopefully people haven't used up all of their placement matches prior to the stats fix.

Tried what people are suggesting, no luck. Figures. Anytime anything can go wrong in a game, it does for me. This is beyond frustrating. They claim they fix things and clearly they didn't. The Coalition is gonna have to make some serious improvements and impress the hell out of me with where they go from here with this game if I'm even going to consider the next one. They've failed miserably with 4 and 5.

Hit Silver in KOTH, no achievement. Closed game, reloaded, no achievement. Of course this shit would happen.

EDIT: ended up getting to Silver 2 in TDM. Quit to main menu. Quit game from the Xbox dashboard. Loaded back up. Achievement popped after the game connected. smile

Risk102, maybe edit your solution with the "quit out fix" that sometimes works for people? That might make people stop doing thumbs down... Ive not voted either way and your solution is technically correct if the game worked. Not your fault!

Can confirm only popped after doing the 5, going to main menu, dashboard, closing Gears and restarting. I've been doing that frequently with this game as it seems to force sync a lot in the background.

So anecdotal update. I failed to get the achievement from KOTH so tried escalation. Still didn't pop. But went to bed and woke up. And it popped in the morning.

For the record I turned my Xbox off in the evening with a hard reset. But didn't turn it back on until morning.

Not only did it not unlock after placing in KOH, when i played my first game of TDM in ranked and won, I got 1/4 for winning in ranked matches and yet i have won 3 ranked KOH matches, which is recorded in my ranked stats. KOH may be glitchy.

For some reason that medal is glitchy actually. I noticed for me than it went up to 1/4 every time I won a match in a different mode. But after all 4 it was 4/4. Just another weird bug.

Placed silver in ALL modes except execution,still no achievement, done hives on master down to beginner tracker is on 37% ,was gonna go for seriously 5 but what's the point, great game ,just plagued by glitches, will execution count towards this because I'll have run out of placement matches after that!

By STONED ROSES 74 on 24 Sep 2019 10:52
Execution counts apparently but I would wait until we get the proper game patch which I believe is expected some time this week? Cannot confirm though. But hold off for now if I were you.

December 2019 - still slightly glitchy, but popped after:

Finish 5 placement matches in a row (one session) on TDM.
Quit to main menu.
Quit out of game to Homescreen.
Reload game.
Select 'Versus' menu.

Then it popped. Good luck!

It should be noted that with the OP3 update the ranked modes have changed. When I go into the ranked menu, there are only 4 modes showing now.

Team Deathmatch
King of the Hill
2v2 Gnashers
Escalation

TC has removed Guardian and Execution from this playlist.

Same experience, didn't pop when I got placed for Team Deathmatch, so I quit the game, loaded it back up, and it popped on the title screen after it said connecting.

Wow I'm so glad I only have to win one ranked match a week, I am so damned bad at MP. All people seem to do is run up to you and one shot you with the Gnasher.

Hasn't that been the MP meta since the first game?

Yup, and the only hard counter to wallbounce shotgunners was the chainsaw, which they decided to make harder to use. The Gears 3 beta was nice because the ARs slowed movement on hits, so you could actually tactically work against a team of bouncy bs. Apparently all the Gears community wants is wallbounce shotgun repeat. Yawn.

They only just added it to ranked so i expect it won't trigger the achievement which was probably built for the original modes e.g. King of the Hill; Guardian; Team Deathmatch etc. I think 2v2 Gnashers will work too.

Join a RANK game ; FAVORITISE the achievement by pressing the XBOX BUTTON on your controller ; SPECTATE for 5 games, whither you lose or win, pop goes the achievement.

I agree with Dragonborn, instead of pulling this "early access with ultimate edition" sort of BS, how about you DON'T release it to people and take that extra time to make sure the shit works.

Silver 2 and no chieve. Have to play the waiting game now. Hopefully this will be all "settled" for everyone soon with all these issues in game. Update: I just got it to pop by closing game when I was in main menu and booted up the game again. On main menu, wait til it connects to server. Hope this helps.

Completed the five matches in TDM and nothing unlocked, so I tried the quit method, restarting the console and even playing a match in TDM and still no achievement.

edit.
Got back into the game after being offline a few hours, the achievement finally unlocked.

I see that Execution is not on your list of Ranked playlists, is there a reason for that? Cause it works for getting this achievement. I got the 5 placement matches in it and like so many others, the achievement did not pop. I closed the game/dashboards and reloaded it, upon signing in and getting to the main menu the achievement popped.

This achievement is glitchy and might not unlock as it should even though you’ve completed the placement matches and have gotten your ranking.

It seems to not unlock as you complete it, but rather the next time you connect to the versus online services. If it glitches for you and you want to force it to pop, try to:

- quit out of the game completely
- start the game up again
- choose the “Versus” menu option

It should pop right as the game reconnects to the online services. YMMV though.

This tip was mentioned by many in the comments to the other solution, for example by Uh0h its Renaud , Milkysoul , FLYorDIE21 among others.
