How to unlock the Resourceful achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

This can be done in a PRIVATE MATCH! We will be getting all the Free For All achievements in the Operation 3 DLC in one match.

If you just want this achievement then disregard the part about waiting to be 10 kills behind that is mentioned later in this guide.
This achievement will pop during the match once you complete the last kill.

Here is how to do it...

Start the game
Select MULTIPLAYER
Select VERSUS
Select CUSTOM ONLINE
Select HOST PRIVATE at the top of the screen
Select GAME SETUP
Select GAME MODE
Select FREE FOR ALL - 14 PLAYER then go back to the previous menu
Select FREE FOR ALL - 14 PLAYER OPTIONS
Turn FILL WITH BOTS to ON and BOT DIFFICULTY to BEGINNER
You can also adjust your ROUND SCORE and/or ROUND TIME LIMIT here as well if you need to make it easier.
Now go to WEAPON SUBSTITUTIONS
Change the boltok and the boomshot both to gnasher
Change the enforcer and frag grenade both to lancer
Change the incendiary grenade, longshot and torque bow all to snub
Now go back to lobby and pick CORE for your map and start the game

You're going to want one kill with each weapon you load out with. Lancer, gnasher and snub. It may pop for you after your lancer and gnasher kill without needing a snub kill Since those weapons are all on the map as the only pickup weapons you don't have to pick up anything.

The first thing we'll be doing is nothing. Just watch the scoreboard until the bot in first gets to 10 or 11 kills then start killing everyone you see. You'll end up unlocking Line Them Up for killing 10 different enemies in one match, Come From Behind for winning a match where you were behind 10 or more kills and Victory Seized for winning a free for all match.

Much thanks to Frizbog for mentioning the 3 weapon method in the comments!

I understand the guide in theory, but when I try to put it in action my FFA-14 lobby won't let me change any weapon, and I only ever start with one weapon - the Gnasher. I can't add or even change that one weapon, and can't start or pickup any other weapon on this game mode.
I checked and it isn't on Gnashers only, and even when I change the "Swap All Weapons" or substitute it to another weapon it's still only the Gnasher.
Is my game bugged, and is there any solution I'm not seeing?

I changed all the pickups to Lancer, Gnasher, and Snub. Then I got a kill with each of my starting weapons and the achievement popped. It might work if you change them all to just one of these also.

Massive thanks to frizbog, set all weapons to one of the three and it’s insanely easy

I set the weapons to all Lancer and all Gnasher for two separate games and the achievement didn't unlock. Tried restarting the game to check and still didn't. Not sure what's wrong.
EDIT: Changed to all 3 as previously suggested and got a kill with each, it finally popped right after the 3rd kill.

I have updated the solution to make this easier to get after a good tip by Frizbog earlier in the comments.

Doesn't work. Either that or this is still not clear. You say don't change torque bow or breaker mace and then you say to change them. What are you trying to say? Change them or not?

I changed all guns to Gnasher, Lancer and Snub alternating and it popped. I think what the OP meant was to change all guns to Gnasher except two and then change those to Lancer and Snub.

cieg - The next sentence says to change those to lancer and snub. But I can see your confusion so I'll edit the solution to make it more clear. Just in case.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to confuse the issue. I changed all the pick-up weapons to a combination of Lancer, Snub, Gnasher. So, when I was done, some of the pickup weapons were set to Lancer, others were set to Snub, and the rest were set to Gnasher. I then got a kill with the Lancer, Snub, and Gnasher, and the achievement unlocked for me.

Thanks for the solution. But for me the achievement unlocked after only two kills: with the lancer and the gnasher. No snub kill was required.

Has anyone tried changing all the weapons to Lancer to try? I changed all the weapons to Lancer and Gnasher. Didn't had to do a kill with Snub. One kill each was all it took.

It didn't work when I did it with Lancers only. Looks like you need at least 2 weapons

In Core if you switch the Mace Breaker for the Lancer it won't spawn, actually any weapon would spawn in the middle of the map where the Mace breaker is supossed to be, at leasr for me, I did as DeathDealingCat mentioned and it worked even without using the snub

Looks like The Coalition has made some changes to the game with the drop of operation 4 that has prevented the original solution from working correctly. I have updated the weapon substitutions section of the solution to a method that will get this working again every time. Thanks for everyone letting me know it wasn't working correctly so I could do some testing to get you popping achievements again.

I'd also appreciate it if anyone that has left a negative vote to the solution consider changing it now that it's working properly again. Thanks!

Worth also noting that any Free For All achievements only appear to unlock in the 14 player game.

I’ve just unlocked them all and 8 player free for all didn’t work.

The only weapon substitutions that need to be made are for any weapon that spawns on the map by default. The others done matter.

The main issue that has caused me to have to rewrite this guide a couple times is that every once in a while The Coalition switches weapon spawns on the maps and each different game type can have their own set of weapon spawns, which makes keeping track of what weapons spawn on each map a pain in the ass.

I got the Resourceful and Come From Behind achievements by using this guide, except I didn't use any bots. I did me versus a second controller (all other slots locked/no bots) on the 14 player version of Free for All. I already had the other FFA related achievements prior to doing this, so I can't confirm whether they would all work without bots or not.

The entire "weapon substitutions" category does not work as intended. See below comment.

Chundy - Weapon substitutions are only for pickups, not what you spawn in with.

When I switched everything to Gnasher, besides switching Breaker Mace to Lancer per the solution, it didn't work. After reading the comments I switched everything to Gnasher besides one to Snub and one to Lancer, which still didn't work for me.

What ended up working was switching about one third to Gnasher, one third to Lancer, one third to Snub, leaving Flashbang as is, and leaving the Markza as is. It popped after getting kills with each primary weapon without me even picking up the Markza. I'm not sure leaving the Markza as is made a difference or if it was more about having a good number of each primary weapon as substitutions. Just thought I'd post this info in case anyone else is struggling.

Some of the other FFA achievements can be done with dummy controllers, this one however cannot in case anyone else was starting to get frustrated. Need to follow the directions and use bots.

I have a theory, you need to check the weapons that spawn on the map, I tried before without luck, on the last attempt I change the order and see that I have the 3 guns on the map spawning at the same time, so I get the kills and achievement unlock.

This can be achieved in a custom multiplayer match.

Make the following changes in setting:
Game mode - Free For All - 14 Player
Weapon substitutions:
Boltok - Gnasher
Boomshot - Gnasher
Enforcer - Lancer
Frag Grenade - Lancer
Incendiary Grenade - Snub
Longshot - Snub
Torque Bow - Snub

Now get a kill with each weapon and the achievement should unlock.

Here’s a video guide for reference:

You can unlock this achievement in-game right now in the weekly VERSUS EVENT: FFA 14: PRECISION Sharpshooters, this is due to all weapons in the map are snipers and markza; maybe in some future TC will add this mode game in the customs and do it in private.
