How to unlock the You Better Run! achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

THIS SOLUTION IS NOT COMPLETLY DOABLE ANYMORE SINCE CUSTOM MAPS HAVE BEEN REMOVED!

The achievement itself is still unlockable.

Updated 09/15/2020. Now you can do it faster without Faze. Thanks to I ailurophile I for pointing out this change in the comment section for Clayton's cheevo.

This is a extremely fast way to pop this and does not requires anything special at all.

What you need:
- Paduk
- The map I made wich is called "Unlimited Imagos" ID: 7PWBL7


The method:
Start the mentioned hive with no mutators selected.
Begin by picking up the salvos before you open the door. Now exit the starting room and wait for your ultimate to fully charge, then enter the safe room. It's really important to close the door only after fully charged.
On chapter 2 you are going to leave the safe room and wait a few seconds (10s-15s) for enemies to spawn behind the doors. Go to a door to your left or right, open the door, unleash your ultimate and kill everyone with your salvo. Restart act, rinse and repeat.
Note that if you got into the safe room carrying a salvo and with your ult charged, when you restart act you will still have both, so you just go for the kills.

Doing this will net about 15-20 kills, so after a few quick reloads you will be good.

Optional method for those who have Faze unlocked:
If you don't want to wait for your ultimate to charge you can equip the Faze skill card, wich triggers fear on all enemies surrounding an execution. There's a Lancer on the starting room and another on the saferoom, so just grab one lancer and one salvo, drop the salvo by the button, open the door, chainsaw a imago, grab the salvo from the ground and kill everyone. Repeat on the other door.

Any doubts feel free to message me or leave a comment.
Negative voters please leave comment and tell me where I can improve the solution :)

You don't necessarily need Faze, but it does speed things up. You can simply wait for the Ultimate to charge like with Clayton's achievement. After the first door, the ultimate is 1/2 way charged for the 2nd door.

I have updated the hive to make this even faster for those who cant run Faze. Will be updating guide ASAP, but the mechanic is almost the same.

Did you try to get progress on this one outside a custom hive ? Did you get to 48% using this method ?

FYI: My achievement was stuck at 96%. However, restarting the game unlocked the achievement after signing in.

Map Builder has been removed from the game so this no longer works...at least not on this custom map anyways.
Anyone got a good alternative for a regular map to use to do this?

This is stuck on 48 kills (48%) for me! Getting other achievements on game and done a full shut down and restart etc. Killing when baddie is glowing purple and making a run for it but not counting. Anyone got this? 😐

2nd EDIT since removal of Custom Maps

The best place is to go to Escape > "The Detour" on beginner. run past all of the safe points and there should be an area for unlimited Juvie/Leech spawns at the end. It's best to get Juvies as Leechs kill themselves. So if you get leeches just backout to lobby and reset.

Here is a video for visual:
There are 3 flashes in the first weapon room at the start that are great for the enforcer/gnashers groups to execute and then kill the rest while they are feared. Took me about 10 mins to get.


gonna leave my previous solution in case TC decides to patch custom maps back in.

The solution you have hidden is great! I recommend you switch. Show The Detour solution and hide your custom map solution, since it no longer works.

I recommend Smartan's excellent tips and tricks video.


Fear is the best crowd control in Gears 5 Pve. It's a good class for Horde and an essential one for Escape.

It's not just a defensive ability. It's a way to begin an offensive push as well. The Nomad's passive is double damage against enemies in Fear. When you are starting out, use the Gnasher proficiency card in conjunction with Fear to get CQC kills.

That should be sufficient to level you to where you can do a Faze-Execution shield build, where you can chain together executions, crowd controlling everyone around you. (be sure to learn the melee combo.) Getting Fear kills should be child's play at this point.
