How to unlock the Pennies from Heaven achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

14/09/2019: This achievement is gllitchy at the moment due to server issues or bugs in the game.

There are four fallen Condor sites total. One is unmissable because you'll pass through it during a required mission, The others will show up as question marks when you get close to them.

Two can be found in Act 2 - chapter 4; one way up north and the other around the center of the map.
There is another crashed Condor with a safe in the North communication tower mission.
The fourth can be found in Act 3 - chapter 2 and 3 in the South East corner of the map, it's in the storm on the way to the Turntable station. Keep as much to the right as possible on the way and you'll run into it automatically. You can also go back after you finished chapter 2.

There is a good amount of enemies found at these locations and after you've killed all of them you have to open the save with Jack and loot the content to complete that location.

A tip from Sashamorning: wait until it says the objective is completed before leaving

Tip from TheLightMaster: The story related Condor in the Cosmonaut facility mission (main mission) is not required for this achievement. I can confirm because I got the achievement before I did this mission. The one on the way to the North comm tower is probably not needed either but you need the components so it can't hurt either.

Here is a great video explaining it all in detail by Maka91, make sure to give it a like on his channel!

Don't hate. At least it's a guide. If Maka wants a guide, he'll post one. In the meantime, he's getting YouTube hits, which I'm sure means a lot more to him than posting a free guide on TA where he gets no monetization.

Thanks Sashamorning, that was exactly my thought.

By the way, I got the go ahead from Maka so you can put that to bed.

Popped for me after the last Condor. I made sure that the mission said complete before I moved on.

Achievements not popping might have something to do with the server issues. Also make sure that the message appears that the objective is completed. I popped mine earlier today

Can confirm tracking does not work. This did however pop for me today after completing the last one, so it seems to be up and running again.

Game is still buggy/glitchy because I keep losing collectables and a day later they show up again and suddenly they are gone again. Yesterday I picked up the last collectable and the achievement didn't pop. When I went to check them one was missing again that I picked up for sure and I got a checkpoint after.

This guide is correct, it's a game or server issue.

My achievement popped this morning when I loaded the game up, but I have no idea when it should have popped. I finished act 3 last night, but had got the last condor for the achievement either Sunday afternoon or on Saturday. Either way, quite a delay for it to pop.

This achievement didnt pop for me even though i have completed it several times, doing ALL the condor sites just in case, making sure the location completed before i left it. I also have the Ally's achievement for making a new ally which did not pop. Thanks, Gears. Some of the achievements are ridiculous enough without having completable ones not popping! ARGH

I got this to pop for me on my second play on insane. I never loaded any previously completed chapters, where as on my first play through I did, just kept selecting continue which leads me to believe that it has to be done in one single play through.

Yep, same as the guy above me. Second solo playthrough on Insane, looted all three condors, achievement popped just now.

I hope they can fix this as it would be a pain to just play through almost the entire campaign again just for a bugged achievement.

Can you use chapter select or do you have to do this in 1 sitting?

You can use chapter select. Just make sure the game saves before you head back tot he main menu.

I decided to try to go straight to the chapters by selecting from the main menu. I skipped from Act 2, Chapter 4 straight to Act 3, Chapter 3, and the achievement unlocked normally. I don't know if it influenced the fact that I started a new game +. The achievement only unlocks after I face the enemies that appear right after opening the safe in act 3. I think that could be added to the guide.

Can also confirm it works via chapter selected. I picked up the two from Act 2 Ch 4, went to Act 3 Ch 3, picked up the supplies, and was good after killing the enemies in the area.

Unlocked via chapter select 8/7/22. I quit out of chapter 2 immediately after it said secondary mission complete and went into act 3 as per maka’s guide and it worked. Worth mentioning that we did this on an online co-op run on another players profile and it only counted for them, I had to go back in and do this solo for it to pop.

What is wrong with you people? There was no guide for this achievement on TA, I found a solid one on YouTube and shared it here! It was all explained in detail in the video so I didn't really bother with an explanation. (fixed that)

Nobody else took the effort to post a guide but you took the effort to downvote it? What a sad bunch...

Where does it say I need to have the achievement or that the video has to be mine? I completed the 3 locations in act 2 at the moment I put this guide up and I credited the maker of the video. Also, the video link is directly to his YouTube channel. facepalm

Chapter reload did not work.

My buddy and I decided to go for this last night for our insane playthrough. We both got disconnected in the loading screen from act 2-3. We figured that voided it and wouldn't work. We tried the last site anyways, and we both got the achievement still. Either we got really lucky or they fixed it. The most recent update was the day before.

Must be done in One Play-Through!
*This may have changed as my friend just randomly had this pop for him when he started up Gears 5 [Oct 31/19] and he hasn't played campaign in weeks prior (I can confirm that). If anyone else could help confirm this that would be much appreciated :D

- Start on Act 2 Chapter 4 "The Source Of It All"
(Beginner is recommended) and play continuously up up Act 3 Chapter 2 "Rocket Plan"

-- ACT 2 CH 4 "The Source Of It All" (2) --
(0:20) Condor Crash Site #1 - NE of “Old COG Wall”
(1:57) Condor Crash Site #2 - N of “Condor Crash Site” #1 (Close to North Com Tower)

-- ACT 3 CH 2 "Rocket Plan" or CH 3 "Some Assembly Required" (1) --
(3:06) Condor Crash Site #3 - Just before “Train Turntable” to the right
