Gears of War 2

After completing the game plus horde and playing online I had around 3,000 kills. For much faster method to Seriously 2.0 you can rinse and repeat the method in Act 1, Chapter 4 (Tip of the Spear, The Big Push) or you can keep loading the chapter in the video below where you ride the Brumak Act 5, Chapter 5 (Aftermath, Closure) Just launch your missiles at the two squads approaching you then reload the checkpoint and repeat.

Each method is disputed as to which is actually quickest. My preference is the Act 5 chapter 5 but for variety I often mix it up.

New video, ignore the little ad at the start of it; it gives a good explanation on how to do it. Video credit: - austex360

OK...here's my attempt to answer which section of the campaign helps you get to Seriously 2.0 faster (since EliteHero happened to mention the dispute). I just did a numbers study.

On the Aftermath-Closure chapter, I played just the first part as described in the video above and stopped before you have to break through the first door. I played through 3 times to get an average. For the Tip of the Spear-The Big Push section, I played through 5 times just because there is a few different ways you can do things. By constantly looking straight ahead and all around, you'll see that you can catch Locust on the ground in groups at various times. So I tried a few different variations of the playthrough, again just for the average.

Here are the results based on Casual difficulty setting. It might be different on the higher difficulty but I have to check.

AFTERMATH - CLOSURE
1. 70
2. 69
3. 71
AVERAGE: 70 kills/section
STANDARD DEVIATION: 1
[UPDATE] Time to complete one "round" - 1 min, 13 sec.

TIP OF THE SPEAR - THE BIG PUSH
1. 74
2. 66
3. 63
4. 78
5. 70
AVERAGE: 70.2 kills/section
STANDARD DEVIATION: 6.02
[UPDATE] Time to complete one "round" - 2 min, 47 sec.

So, this should somewhat end the dispute on which way is faster. Granted this may not be enough data, but it appears that over time, both sections would average out to the same number of kills unless you could play the Tip of the Spear section and get the 78 every time. The Aftermath section definitely looks more consistent so you are almost guaranteed 70 kills every time. But with Tip of the Spear you could get a lot of variation.

[UPDATE] Obviously, from a time basis it's better to ride the Brumak!!

So...there's the data, but it's still your choice/preference which you like better I guess.

[UPDATE: 4 Oct 2011] Courtesy of x Daniel Nash 7, don't forget to go to the main menu every once in a while to make sure that the kills save and register with your profile, and thus reduce the risk of kill count resets.
Now, on toward actually getting the achievement!!

I posted this on X360A a while ago, so I'll copy it to here ...

If you have an autofire-capable controller (like the blue or red Hori pad), then you can get Seriously 2.0 while you sleep.

Load up the Brumak level on Casual difficulty.
Stick the A and X buttons on autofire.
Rubberband the right stick so your Brumak is facing the ground.
Use string or tape to hold the left stick slightly up, just enough to make the Brumak walk forward at a decent pace (see later for why this is important).

Mr Brumak will walk forward, firing rockets (thanks to autofire X) at his own feet and taking slight damage for doing so. In a few seconds you'll reach the first group of Locust, and the rockets will kill some of them. Then you'll walk into a wall and eventually kill yourself.

You'll go to the menu, and automatically select "Load Checkpoint" (thanks to autofire A), and it'll all happen again. It's very important that the left stick isn't pushed too far forward, or it will move the menu selection away from "Load Checkpoint" and then you're stuck.

If you experiment with the position of the left stick, you can even improve the kills-per-minute. I find that angling it ever-so-slightly to the left helps. And of course, switch off rumble, otherwise things might get knocked out of whack.

Using this technique, I managed just over 30 kills per minute. Sure, it took many hours to get, but it beat doing it manually.

A far quicker method to farm kills on the Brumak chapter is to fire rockets at the second group, then after firing rockets at the first group, right after they hit their targets, immediately reload the chapter (at 0:35 in the video above). It is more effective to shoot the second group first as they move away after a short while.

It is faster to achieve Seriously 2.0 this way because everything after those first two shots adds few kills per second. Even while doing it this way, though, it will still take quite a while to get the achievement. Good luck doing so!

*VIDEO BELOW SHOWING THIS METHOD*

100,000 enemies, any mode.
This achievement is almost unthinkable without boosting or farming kills, so lets just get right into how its done.
(*note, read important tips near the bottom.. they're important)

1) Load up Act 5, Chapter 5 (Aftermath - Closure).

2) When the cutscene begins, mash the BACK button. When Marcus is saying "Brumak", the cutscene should be able to be skipped.

3) Move your Brumak to the right slightly, and be mashing "A". This will get rid of the little tooltip that pops up.

4) After the tool tip is gone and you're slightly to the right, stop and line up a perfect shot for the group of locusts that are further back.
- This may take some getting used to, but there's a "spot" that you'll have to aim for to get your missiles going in the right place, but if you're planning on reloading this 2,000 times you might get the hang of it.

5) Once your shot is lined up and ready to fire, shoot your missiles and PAN DOWN (**IMPORTANT**).
- Your missiles can all shoot at different angles, so because there are 5 missiles, you actually have enough time to fire one or two at the back group of locust, and fire your last missiles at the closer group of locusts.

6) After all your missiles are blown up, (some are slower than others) reload your LAST CHECKPOINT.

7) Repeat steps 2-7.

IMPORANT: NONE OF YOUR KILLS WILL COUNT UNLESS YOU GO BACK TO THE MAIN MENU AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED.


- 5 minute 33 seconds = 1000 kills


IMPORTANT TIPS
- Install Gears 2 onto your harddrive
- It's usually quicker to restart a checkpoint than to clean up any leftover locusts.

For all of you hardcore gamers who really want to get this achievement and get it out of the way, look no further. Listed below is by far the best way to get this achievement!

I have owned and been playing Gears 2 since it first came out years ago. In this time, I had accumulated approximately 27,000 kills which is a lot for me considering I have a life, college, since finished and have a full time job as a computer programmer, girlfriend, family, etc... What I'm saying is... I don't have time to waste on achievements like this one. As fate would have it, I was in the market for a new Xbox 360 controller whenever I ran into the following video. All credit goes to the guy in the video who came up with the method. I am simply sharing it to others who like I use to be, desperately wanted to get this achievement and finally add Gears of War 2 to the complete list.

Like the guy says in the video, I literately got this achievement while sleeping, while I was at work, out to the movies or hanging out with friends and family. It was the perfect solution for someone like me and I hope someone else can find it as helpful as I did.

Here is the link for the controller for all who are interested.

Alright well I am writing this because of a little hiccup in my plan to get seriously 2.0. I was getting kills very quickly, I was averaging 8000 kills and hour. but I made it to 91000 and got disconnected from Xbox Live. Well I got up to 96550 and reconnected to Xbox Live. It then knocked me back down to the 91000 kills so be warned if you get knocked offline stay offline. As for the achievement It's a pain in the butt. Takes lots of time grinding. Got my last 50000 in one day just cause I was tired of going for the achievement so good luck everyone. I found the Brumak technique the best.

Something no one else mentioned that is super important and a warning: DO NOT SHUT OFF YOUR XBOX OR INTERNET BEFORE GOING BACK TO THE MAIN SCREEN. If your xbox loses power or internet connectivity,you will lose ALL kills that you have obtained since the last time you were at the main menu, so when your'e done for the night and tired don't just switch off your box. I found this out the hard way twice from dogs and when it was 4am...

So I know that I don't have the achievement as I am posting this. But I wanted to share how I went about getting this achievement.

So I started yesterday doing this for real.

I did Act 5 Chapter 5. I have a turbo controller. I set and to rapid fire. Not a fast pace but fast enough that it can shoot out a decent amount of rockets. I placed the down and then to the left and up. This made sure I walked somewhat straight and that I fired rockets at my feet when I walked into the wall that was ahead of me when you meet the first group of grubs.

I then started from my measly 550 kills.

*Note all of these times are in EST and are my results, meaning that not everyone is going to have the same amount of kills*

I loaded up this chapter and put it on Insane. And difficulty I am sure is fine and I don't know if there is a difference in.

Time Kills:

0850 16901

0953 18650

1142 21550

1638 28450

1831 32750



This is just under 24 hours of using my turbo controller.


I started right around 1900 yesterday. As you can see I got about 30000 kills in about 24 hours.

My turbo controller died at some point in the middle of the night. So I am sure it could have been more.


I hope this helps someone.

hi this is the method i use to get serious 2.0
if like me you are tired or had no time to devote to successes like this if you can get it while you sleep the problem these you will need a red or blue turbo controller ori brand or a cronus max I buy a cronux max here is a script that I have programmed for Act 5 Chapter 5 this one and only for cronus max

This is more so a little tip for the Brumak method: if you’re as inconsistent as me with hitting both groups of enemies with the rockets then you can use this tip that will take the same amount of time and sometimes even quicker than the method that most people show. Once you skip the cutscene, quickly aim just to the right of the first group (so you don’t hit the wall) and fire your rockets before the ‘Brumak’ tip menu pops up and by the time you get to the corner where everyone stands your rockets will already be cooled down and ready to fire again into the second group.

The reason I said it can be sometimes quicker because sometimes a rogue rocket fired at the second group will fly at the second group and kill all of them.

Hope this helps anyone who is ad inconsistent as me!
