How to unlock the Hunter Gatherer achievement in Gears of War 3 - Definitive Guide

Really simple way to do this against bots.

Go to Versus > Private > King Of The Hill

Select:

Round Score Limit: 240
Number Of Bots: Fill
Bot Difficulty: Casual
Bleed Out Time: 60

Select "Start Game" and then in the map selection lobby, first Y to switch over to the Locust team then ensure you have the Savage Hunter selected as your MP character. Pick any map (I choose Cove but don't think it matters) and start the game. Now the important part - Do NOT pick up frags, inks or incendiaries. You can Bag & Tag with a smoke grenade to get this achievement. Also you never run out of smoke grenades, they keep respawning in your inventory, meaning you don't have to go searching for more grenades.

All you do now is down the bots with your lancer (or gun of choice), pick them up as a meatshield by pressing X and then press up on the D-Pad to Bag & Tag. Rinse and repeat 20 times. I also found that your teams bots are often too dumb to finish off opponents, so I had bots crawling around ready for picking up. I did this on KOTH, mainly so I knew where the hotspots would be, but I assume it would work on other game modes.

Using this method, I managed to get the achievement in about 5 minutes. Good luck!

EDIT

Below is a video demonstrating this method, thanks to Reabo.

@ScaryMarcus, you have to make sure when you set your KOTH match you have "Weapon Respawns" selected as "After Use". El Horse, I would recommend editing the solution to include this in your settings for KOTH. Thanks.

I have no idea why they replenish. I can only assume it is because they are non lethal and serve no purpose other than a cool animation when used to bag and tag. I have tried games with both "After Use" and "After Pickup" set under Weapon Respawn and found it works with either setting.

I don't know what SeizedEmpress70 is talking about, but it worked just fine for me. I done it on Checkout and it only took about 5 mins using this method. I'm saying this as of 16/03/2016

I stumbled upon this solution by accident, but just to clarify: the reason why smoke grenades replenish is because you get the grenade(s) that the bot is carrying when you meatshield them. Doesn't matter if they have them equiped or not, as long as they haven't used their smoke, you'll get an extra grenade. I think it says so too on the bottom left of the screen when you meatshield someone (Smoke x 1). However, you'll not get the smoke grenades when you have any other kind of grenade in your grenade slot, unless you have e.g frags and the bot happens to have frags too. Hope this clears it up. :)

*Note for french players*

The achievement description says "grenadier sauvage" but you want to do it with the "chasseur sauvage" ! There is an error in the translation ...

Choose KOTH mode (in which your smoke grenades will respawn automatically) in private mode, filled with bots on easy. Choose a high bleed out time, 240 round score limit. Select your Savage hunter (chasseur sauvage) and pick the locust team.

To bag and tag, just down an opponent and grab him with X. Then, press "up" with the D-Pad to perform the bag and tag. Repeat the process 19 times. Keep in mind that your smoke grenades respawn within about 10 - 20 sec.

You can obviously get this in public matches. Just wait to be in the locust team.

EDIT: Reabo made a video for this achievement, which you can see in the solution just above so I won't post it again. Thanks very much ;)
