How to unlock the Places to Go, Monsters to Kill achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

TDM is more likely to vote them, but still rare. I played all day and met four or five times. So do your best to win

I found a way to safely ‘quit’ pre-game lobbies without getting penalized - instead of pressing B to quit out the pre-game lobby, I went directly to my Xbox settings and disconnected my internet connection. The game assumes you disconnected due to connection issues so it doesn’t penalize you there. This ONLY worked during pre-game lobbies while maps were being voted and set up. If the game and map has already loaded and you do this, it’s very likely they’ll penalize you there.

River was my last remaining map (after getting the other ranked achievements) and this is how I managed to get it over and done with, saving me time having to play through every game just to avoid the banhammer. I did not get banned once for doing this internet disconnection trick.

The best part is to have only 2 maps left and both come up for a vote, one of which you have never seen on a vote before, and 2 people vote for All Fathers arena, and nobody else votes... so dumb...

Yes, and consider how few people play ranked match now, it’s a very s**t achievement. You also can’t find someone to help because of its mechanism…

I’ve seen all these maps multiple times on control. Doesn’t mean they get voted for but I’ve seen them all at least 3 plus times

Are these maps part of 2v2 gnashers playlist by any chance?

Also, this might be obvious to some but I just found out, quickplay playlists are NOT considered ranked. You have to play competitive

Is it possible to just load into a lobby, see if the needed maps are available for vote, and if not, leave without penalty?

No, once you load into a lobby you can’t leave without penalty. If there is a way I don’t see how you can do it

TDM and Control are active. The rest are very hit and miss.

@CRUX18, thanks so much for the suggestion. I too needed the River map and won the match easily when it turned out the opposing team only had 3 players.

I have a question, there is a map that I think only appears in Free for All with 14 players, but in qualifying there are only 8 players

Is the map Pit or Stagnation

Is there any other game mode where that map appears or only that one?

Add me for this and other Gears achievements. GT: Apathy V3

Just trying to get the right maps takes forever, let alone getting the win also. Nobody ever votes River.

Add me to team up and get this, people never really vote river when it comes up so could do with a few people looking to get it done.

I have 80 percent complete. Only River is left. I don't think it even came up to be voted on in the past 15 matches. So annoying

Get a group of 8 people together and run Capture the Flag. Those games can be finished in less than 2 minutes each and the playlist is empty of other players. Meaning that you won't have to worry about randoms with two teams of 4.

All 5 maps WILL appear in this playlist, but the RNG is unpredictable. My boosting group had several nights where we never saw Gridlock and Clocktower, then we had one where we saw them multiple times.

It will also help if you make sure both squad leaders are close to each other geographically, so they match up easier. Keep in mind however, that if you somehow get matched with randoms, the ranked server will temporarily ban you for quitting after the match is locked in, requiring you to complete a solo quick match on your own before you can search again.
