How to unlock the On the Razor's Edge achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

To get this achievement, you must kill 100 5 enemies inside the Hivebuster Venom. Now you may initially believe "Hivebuster Venom" means where you're taking damage, but it actually doesn't. This is why the achievement is called "On the Razor's Edge" because it's referring to being in the light green area that comes before the dark green area that gives you damage. Just refer to your lower right mini map to see when you are standing in the light green area. You also be able to see venom particles floating around the room while in these areas, but as I said before, you will not be taking damage yet.

My achievement tracker oddly didn't work for this achievement, so that's why I thought I had to be doing something wrong, but just keep getting kills in the light green areas and you should be fine.

Here is a picture to better understand what "light green areas" mean:

It has been written in a way as if it's explained for even dummies to understand. Well done! +1 from me smile

Can this be done in custom or user create?

That's actually a good question. Since my achievement tracker wasn't working, I sadly am not sure on that. Pretty sure custom works though, not 100% on user create

I think this achievement is glitched, but in a good way. I unlocked it during my very first time playing Escape, after maybe 20-30 kills.

Yes! Hurry now! I believe this one is glitched in a good way. My two friends and me obtained this in a custom match on "The Hive". Waited for the light green to enter the room, and simply executed 4-5 of the rejects in the begging and unlocked achievement! wink

I played a map I made with a few friends and I didn't make any progress towards any achievements aside from the complete X hives with each characters, so it's a safe bet that it doesn't count in user created.

I got this after only maybe 5 or 10 kills so it glitched for me in a good way.

Jung, it may be all the server and stat issues that caused it not to count.

Hard to say any method does or doesn’t work yet..

I'm pretty sure this can't be done in user created maps - none of the other achievements which are tracking can be and they don't track on Tour of Duty either.

Confirming there is a glitch. I had only 8 kills on my first time playing Escape and it popped near the end.

4 kills, on custom "the Hive" solo. I assassinated 2 rejects while in the green (2 on the left out of spawn, waited for green to come in) then went right and killed 2 grunts while in the green.

Why does this achievement (At the Top) say get 5 kills, yet your solution says you have to get 100 kills? Then people were confused after getting the achievement after 5 kills?

Yeah, seems the Operation 4 update edited a lot of achievements that were already in the game. I'll change the description

I don't pay attention to this game anymore, so I'll take your word for it. Not like this achievement even worked correctly from the beginning anyway...

I got this by dumb luck... was going for a different achievement playing as Clayton Carmine and I killed several enemies in one area at the start of a daily map and it popped for me.

Very bugged. I even built an Escape that would get me 40 kills. I've played it through 7 or 8 times. That was after doing another map 10-12 times.

Alex Sobecki's guide isn't wrong; it just doesn't provide enough information, imo. Special thanks to the commenters on his solution as well.

The achievement can be done solo.
From the main menu, select 'MULTIPLAYER' > 'ESCAPE'.
Move right to 'CUSTOM', move right to 'HOST PRIVATE' and press cn_A to create a private lobby.
Change the map to 'VENOM RUN' (currently the final map).
You might as well select the 'BEGINNER' difficulty as well.
Press cn_X to start the match.
Equip your rebreather and get swallowed! shock

Run forward through the map until the biohazard countdown hits zero and the venom is triggered.

Now keep an eye on your minimap.
Stay within the light green area without letting the darker green encroach on you (as this harms you).
The first 5 enemies are D.B.s and can all be executed by walking behind them and pressing cn_B.

After 4 operations, only 5 kills are enough.
