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

Lambency 50g

Description:Execute an Epic employee, or someone who already has Lambency, in Versus multiplayer (any mode).

Right this achievement is very easy to pick up. There are several ways you can do this, but you may have to wait for it to spread a bit but most likely your first execution will snag you the achievement.

1. shoot someone with lancer,retro or hammerburst to down them then approach them and press *Y*.

OR you could try an easier way of chainsaw killing someone. this counts as an execution and I managed to get this on my first chainsaw kill. If you are having trouble getting close use your smoke grenades on enemies then run in there chainsaw at the ready.

You can get this on any VERSES multiplayer mode so you can choose whatever game mode you like.

General tips:
Try it on unsuspecting enemies, use your cover and rodie run to keep a low profile you can easily get it on unsuspecting snipers and dug in enemies.

Use smoke to your advantage, it helps alot if the enemy cant see you running at them in the smoke.

And dont try to chainsaw someone with a double barrel right in front of you it ends messy and not the good messy.

Well happy hunting and I hope this helps.
please comment on how I can improve on my solutions please.
And if your gonna downvote please state why instead of randomly voting.

Gave you a thumbs up. Don't know why everyone is down voting you (or any guide for this achievement really since they all are good and add their own little touch) since you broke it down AND gave tips for those who might now be great at the game but want to do it legit instead of getting their friend in a private match.

Can't believe I got 50G for my first multiplayer chainsaw kill in Gears 3 - as if chainsaw kills weren't awesome enough already. Good guide dude, thumbs up.

Voted down because the top two solutions are good enough, it doesn't need more solutions IMO. Quite a straight forward achievement.

This can be done in a private game mode on versus with bots with one other person, with both of us playing against each other. I helped someone get it and I did it on the Team Deathmatch mode, and the other person executed me with a chainsaw. Do it on the map Mercy for quickness, since it’s a small map and meet each other by the fountain.

Confirmed, you can get this with the Chainsaw/Bayonet in a private match with a friend who already has the achievement, although once its spread enough and goes totally viral, it should be fairly easy to pickup off Executions in regular public multiplayer.

A simple 50G, but its TA score will probably start to fall once its properly circulated ^_^

Classic viral achievement, will get pretty easy to do in the near future. Just remember you have to do an execution, a simple kill won't be enough.
Achievement pops just as enemy dies.

This achievement is earned by performing an execution on an EPIC employee or someone who has earned the achievement already.

For this viral achievement you'll need to shoot and down an enemy player and approach then pressing B, Y with a weapon, hold Y, or X for a meatshield this achievement should pop if they're either an EPIC employee or already have this achievement. Also stating that this achievement can be earned in any form of versus in the game be it online or private matches.

Once you've executed your given target you'll pop this 50G achievement and be able to give this achievement to other plays who manage to execute you haha.

The following video is of my 3rd full online match and of me earning my Lambency achievement on Team Deathmatch! I also reach level 25 for that achievement as well!

The easiest / quickest way to get this achievement is to down someone. This will make them crawl on the ground. Go up to them and press cn_Y. This will execute them in some way and this can unlock the Lambency achievement depending on the player. This will most likely take less than 5 tries, I got it on my first. Overall this achievement is a very easy 50G even for players who aren't great at this game.
