I'll write in points in order to make it clear.

1. Campaign+ new game (3rd option)

2. PLAY CO-OP, WHILE YOU AS HOST SET ON INCONCEIVABLE DIFFICULTY (The rest can play on casual). Any other difficulty, including insane, won't count towards the achievement.

3. Go to settings

4. Ironman - Off (should play another run for another achievement while difficulty is set on only experienced).
Customization - everything is on (will also unlock 3 other achievements).
Mutators - easy modifications to make your life easier, pick whatever you want (I picked big head mode - on, active reload - refills clip, headshot explosion - grenade, total ammo - double, jack cooldowns - fast).
Jack progression from campaign - on.
Using Jack's fully upgraded ultimate Cloak will make this run to be a joke.
*Make sure you have completed the game before and collected at least 273 components and the ultimate upgrades. Will make your life much easier.
Lobby browser visibility - on (in case one of the players leaves).

5. Play throughout campaign+ and have fun!
If you liked it, please leave a like 🤘

*Another tip.
In act 2 chapter 2-4 (open world) there is a location of lander retro relic (assault rifle). A very OP assault rifle. Search its location in order to pick it up. There are tons of guides in YouTube, Google and in here Trueachievements regarding relic weapons and locations.

The fact that you can use mutators and a fully upgraded Jack is the only way to complete this. I got the achievement today and although some battles are very difficult (lots of juvies running at you with not much room to move) the vast majority of the game is hide behind cover and let Jack freeze everything.

The only section that seemed to be too overpowering at times was where you have to wait for Jack to rip the door to gain entry into the mine. I posted up on the left hand side and shot the ice as much as possible so the enemies fell in.

A quick note on the relic retro lancer - although this is an amazing weapon, I found that because it shoots explosive rounds it actually was detrimental to me as in tight sections I was dying from my own explosions.

Good luck everyone!

If you have a fully upgraded Jack, he makes this a breeze if you have a buddy playing as him. Put on the fast recharge mutator and you can spam Flash Freeze and Stim to your hearts content.

By The SCHWARTZ 00 on 10 Nov 2020 07:47

May be a dumb question - but to get Jack progression to carry over do I start a New Game + on an existing saved game with him max? Or can I start a New Game + on an empty file as long as I've done it before?

By Coadster1 x360a on 10 Nov 2020 15:49

You can do new game + on an empty file

By SmokeNashty on 10 Nov 2020 16:43

Awesome, thanks!

By Coadster1 x360a on 10 Nov 2020 16:45

We get the Insane play trough achievement with this too? Or need another run on that difficulty?

By vzr326 on 15 Nov 2020 07:55

If it's not been 'patched', which is likely, you can still just have one player play on casual and rejoin on inconceivable towards the end of the chapter. Both getting the achievement in the end. Worked for me on the insane playthrough but have yet to play this

By Edos on 15 Nov 2020 10:49

Inconceivable with mutators on is less challenging than the insane run. Nevertheless, the progress is not updating! I finished Act 1 on Inconceivable, on the campaign stats i only see one chapter done at that difficulty -.- REEEPLAAAYYY!!!

By Cyrus Cane AUT on 16 Nov 2020 17:12

Has anyone tried having the host account be jack and used a second controller on Beginner?

By GoetheKatzchen on 22 Nov 2020 21:46

@Edos - that must have been patched because that does not work.

By WNWD on 23 Nov 2020 14:43

@SCOTTLAND1986
In case you play with friends.
If you play solo, ofc you can set your server as private.

By IdanST on 26 Nov 2020 18:19

Also coming back out of the mine is a b**** as you can't utilise Jack because he is carrying the phosphorus.

By soundlessb00m on 27 Nov 2020 00:27

Just a word of warning. More than a year after launch, campaign progress is still broken. Just finished my incon run with my friend playing on beginner over the course of 4 evenings. The chapters we did not do in one sitting did not count for me (THE HOST) to be finished on incon. We had to replay certain chapters in one sitting. And I am not even talking about fully upgrading Jack 3 times and still not having the ultimate upgrades when I create a new game +. Using stim without the ultimate and then cloak with the ultimate worked the best for us.

By Darth Hawk CZ on 27 Nov 2020 06:54

Any advise. Ran the campain on inco, 80% progress. I chapter selected what didnt register inco and still no % increase, but chapter select shows them as done.

By MrFunkoPop996 on 02 Dec 2020 00:16

@GoetheKatzchen I'm currently doing the campaign in co-op with two friends in casual and me in inconceivable as Jack (being always invisible and letting my friends play). For now the achievement counter is progressing, I hope it will pop at the end of the game!

By GeneralKatarn89 on 03 Dec 2020 13:15

Anyone wanting to do this achievement, just add me 👍🏼. My gamertag is DanteAlighi3ri .
I'm up for other achievements too.

By DanteAlighi3ri on 28 Dec 2020 13:17

I saw it asked above, but didn't see an answer. Does playing on Inconceivable unlock the achievement for Insane as well?

I believe Cyrus Cane AUT answered it above... (comment)

Eny one wants to help me out with this

By DAVIDANMOLLY on 10 Feb 2021 20:34

Why doesn't inconceivable unlock insane. Doesn't make sense

By Mossberg AZ on 15 Feb 2021 00:37

What are the "3 other achievements" that turning on all the customizations on unlocks? I can't see any that they could be in the achievement list.

By Maiden Ty One on 29 Mar 2021 14:53

@Mossberg AZ - Because Inconceivable is not simply an incremental increase in difficulty above Insane.

In Inconceivable you have less health than on Insane, but so do the enemies. It's subjective, but a lot of people agree that Inconceivable, in many ways, is actually easier than Insane.

I did both Gears 4 Insane and Inconceivable Solo Legit and I know I found Inconceivable easier.

By Maiden Ty One on 29 Mar 2021 15:39

I just completed this and I can confirm 100% that this also unlocks the Insane achievement. As soon as the cut scene begins on the last boss and Baird starts yelling at Jack over comms the Inconceivable achievement popped. Once that cleared, the insane achievement popped immediately after.

By Scarecrowe1888 on 05 Apr 2021 00:28

I’m new to the game and I started a game on new game + with custom mutations to make it easier. If you want to join and help me, send me a message

By EyeCame#7601 on 25 Aug 2021 09:28

Is it possible to beat this solo?

By RAVENxSPEEDSTER on 04 May 2022 22:00

Yes, I just beat it on solo. (Also got both Insane and Inconceivable achievements)

By Quadrisecant on 26 Jun 2022 21:29

This achievement is buggy as hell.

By I DAN M4N I on 07 Aug 2022 15:02

I did not see this commented on here, but Jack with the cloak is 100x better than stim, for almost all situations. A fully upgraded cloak, carried over from a previous game, makes this difficulty a joke. I played with the stim throughout acts one and two, had troubles but was able to get it done (other than the section coming out of the mines, did have to cheese that line with a second controller). On act three played around with the cloak. So much better. Most enemies stop being aggressive when they don't see you, and juvvies don't move at all. Was able to use the turret while cloaked, was able to shoot and execute whole groups of enemies, no problem. A full cloak is the way to go.

By buzzo9neo on 12 Jun 2023 04:36

I am playing this solo with New Game+ carrying over all of Jack's abilities and it's very simple. Just make sure you change the mutators to: Active Reload Reffils Clip, Headshot Explosion Grenade, Total Ammo Double, Jack Cooldowns fast. You will be without Jack's abilities at the beginning, but after you get it, use Flash to freeze all enemies and then one-shoot them with Boltok or Longshot. Flash will also freeze bosses. And for the other ability choose Cloak. You can pick enemies one by one, and with the mutators on, you will be able to turn cloak again right after it ends, and you can even fire without enemies noticing you. It is a joke.

By Eric Filtro on 23 Nov 2023 13:29

So why are we letting randoms join so they can die? I tried that and it was terrible...I’m doing it solo now and it’s a breeze. Am I missing the point?

By SCOTTLAND1986 on 24 Nov 2020 19:47

The only part that is difficult when you don't have Jack, either defending him opening a door or carrying something.

Otherwise it's really simple

This guide was translated automatically.

To make it easier, I’ll give you a few tips:
1. Start playing through New Game +
2. Add the following mutators:
Toy Head Mode – Large heads (to make head shots easier)
Active Reload – Replenishes the clip (for infinite ammo if Active Reload is successful)
Explosive headshots - Grenade (in the case of a headshot, which is easy to do with large heads, blow up those standing nearby)
Total ammo capacity – Double (more ammo won’t hurt anyone)
Restoring Jack's abilities - Quickly (in order to apply Stim and other equally important abilities constantly and without pauses)
3. Transfer Jack's progress (why would you need to level up and collect parts when you already have them)
4. Play as Jack (in battle he goes into invisibility, which gives you a better chance of surviving and you can only die if you accidentally fall under the line of fire)

You can also enable all possible customization to get Showin' a little skin / In your style , Just showing it off / Show off and Batista Bomb / Bomb Batista
