How to unlock the Time to Re-up! achievement in Gears of War 3 - Definitive Guide

Hello everyone,


Warning: Before doing this, please read the solution of "Diamond Thing" and "SgtDigglesworth"

Here's a method to level up very quickly (but harder and boring ), this method is similar to that of Acte 2 - Chapter 2 for those who know.
The purpose of this method is to make onyx medal "King of Cog" each reload, for this you need have 7,5 mil points in arcade.
So, if you make 3 mil at the end of the chapter you will earn 7,5 mil points (with x2,5 insane mode)


-Before, remember that you can get 285 medals up (thank's TA community for confirmation)
-Go to Acte 3 - Chapter 1
-Select Mutators: "super reload", "enemy regeneration" and "no ammo pickups"
-Kill the reavers (infinite respawn) up to 3 mil points or more if you want (I suggest 3,2 mil), and finish the chapter as the video below. (Thank's to "GOWCompetition")

My tips:
-It may seem a bit hard, do one or two trials to get used or do this with a friend(s)
-Stay next to the turret for more visibility
-Take 4 grenades and keep for boomers at the end.
-Dying is not bad, but try to ensure that it does not happen
-The reload after the scoreboard appears works best if you are offline


a thread was created on x360a, it might be help you (Thank's to "I ThEnD I" for help)
>http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35...


Offline Method:
if you have any problem with the scoreboard, it will be preferable to play off line without the update, for that, go in the parameters of your console then “storage”, to select the hard drive and to press Y, you will have option “clear the system cache”.
Once that made, start the game and do not accept the update, in the menu, the game will indicate to you that your saves is corrupted, press B (to avoid any paranoid, possibly made a copy of your saves), you notice that the color of your prestige disappeared (your level is white), but not panic, your prestige is to safeguard online.
now start to level up as on the video, this time the scoreboard works for sure, once you summers rank 100, back to main menu to make the update and appreciate, if you had a prestige before starting (green or red), your rank will be again of this color! ^^

and I would say one last thing,

STAY FOCUSED ON THE SCOREBOARD !!!

Great trick! A bit of a dirty one, but great! XD
It takes good patience to build up the reaver kills, and good reaction timing on the results screen (or pay dearly!!) lol
Fuck playing the game normally again to Lv.100! I've already done that once before, and that was NOT fun! >:(

@Tony Starc
-if you do "King of Cog" for each reload, you win 20k xp every time, the level 100 is ~3.900.000xp
-from beginning to end chapter (for 3 million), I would say an hour.
-after you win 20k every one minute

I think the trick will be patched in very little time :/

The same principle that the act 2 chapter 2, I do not see what the problem is, if you do not pass the first bridge, the Reavers return to infinity and this is the game that is like that, even if I make an impressive number of points, it comes from the game, so I personally think they will patch the trick but not ban

I just tried this 5mins ago online and it worked once and thats it. You have to do it immediately after the score board disappears. I did the exact same thing the second time but the "load last checkpoint" line was greyed out on the pause menu. It took over 3 hours to hit 3million score and its boring as hell. Its not worth the hassle but if it works for you then you are very lucky.

yeah tried it yesterday (19th) - I was having a horrible time tracking the ones that would go overhead, plus the tower gunners kept stealing my kills, and it took me almost 2 hours to get to 2mil - at that point I said screw it and finished out the level. Managed to be able to restart chapter twice before the game became so laggy that the option was grayed out. Watched the cutscene after at that point out of spite and Hoffman was frozen in the doorway for a minute after his first line of dialog before they walked in and it synced back up haha

For everyone that is haveing problems this works online you dont need to go offline to do it. if your having problems hitting start at the black screen. start hitting it when the points come up and just continuly press it you will get the menu no problem then just restart check point

Yep works fine, takes a few goes to get timing down so practice a few time without the reaver killing to avoid going mad, once you have rythem you are golden, i would say take a few breaks to avoid tiredness, i did this solo and have just done 1.2 mill xp over 4h (inc reaver slaughter)

This is a bit annoying, did it three times and from Level 52 and I'm still not Level 53. I'm getting 2.8M+ points, and I just missed it because I forgot I had to press start. I find this method tedious, boring and not worth it...

Personally, I missed 5 times online and 3 times offline, but it's not discouraged me, the hardest thing is to stay focused on the scoreboard at each reload, I know it ended up to be boring after a hours, but in the end I win, I finally have the "again!" achievement.

I just did this method two nights ago (Jan 24th), and it worked fine. I played connected to Live and without clearing my cache. I just wanted to see if I could make it work, and I was able to reload checkpoint without problem. I must have had good timing to press start right after the scoreboard disappeared. I went from 62 to 64 in less than 2 hours, and I plan to try this again tonight.

Tried ONLINE just now and IT WORKS, did it successfully about 10 times in a row, however I lost my attention and missed it, you have to be REALLY quick. If you want to try it online too I suggest you turn up your TV volume this is because when the scoreboard comes up, keep mashing start. Then you should hear a noise to indicate that the menu has come up. But if you mash start too quickly you may accidentally close the menu and miss the opportunity for 'reload checkpoint' to still be available. The noise will give you a clue when to stop pressing start. However I will definitely try this trick offline soon so it's easier to reload the checkpoint.

Is this still working? Cuz Im able to do it and everything but its taking a while to level up. I had 5 million earlier and it barely got me from 43 to 44 after like 3-4 reloads. am I just being impatcient or is it not working anymore?

By T 210s Tyrant on 27 Jan 2012 22:54
Ok.....5 million sums up to 10M on hardcore or 12.5M on insane.....which still only gets you 1 onyx king of cog medal per reload.....thats only 20,000 exp per reload your doing.....if you had gone to 7.5M on hardcore/insane, you would have ended with more than 15M which gets you 2 onyx king of cog medal per reload......so ultimately, the more reavers you kill in the beginning, the better the payout at the end.....

it does work online but not for long, it will hit the checkpoint after about 4 ranks nomatter how quick you are. it did it to me on 3 seperate occassions from ranks 80-84, 84-88 and 91-95 (bit suspicious that it was exactly 4 ranks each time) and i was damn fast about hitting start so it wasnt me.

when i did it offline i went from 66-80 no problems and i missed the checkpoint that time so it was my fault. online is good if you want to do it for abit but if your gonna grind it all out id stress that you do it offline with cleared cache.

By freelance1986 on 28 Jan 2012 08:40
@Nick Nguyen

you would need 6.32mil on insane and 7.90mil on hardcore to double onyx king of cog each reload, you could do 100-200k less if you can keep the 10x multiplier and not die during the rest of the chapter.

Personally, I have my 2 prestige with 148 medals "King of Cog" + "War Supporter" glitch (2 weeks with the double XP), so I do not know, but I think the medal can go level up without update, because I saw a video or a fucking cheater had 999 over all medals.

Ok I cleared my system cache and tried this trick offline, it works perfectly. Spent an evening doing it and levelled up from lv.40 to lv.94 (my player data became corrupt a few weeks ago so I wanted to get my rank back.) Remember you still need to pay attention though otherwise you will miss the opportunity to reload the checkpoint! I now have 120 Onyx King of Cog medals ;)
0
0
By TNipper on 29 Jan 2012 23:14
i guess the 999 isnt true, maybe if you mod the game. im guessing each mode has its own cap, so 285 for all campaign and 450 for all horde (taking cap from people who used the big money glitch).

king of cog does infact max at 285, the bar below is full like field engineer and embry star but your arcade points from then on still get added to the medal (eg im now 37mil/7.5mil) and the total points in the campaign stats are negative for some reason (im -2.12 billion)

using this technique i went from green 66 to red 93 but i had 10 king of cog before i started, so its safe to say this is good for around 1 and a half wings.

yes it also worked for me after retrying it and can also confirm that 285 is the limit (got now over 34000000 points in arcade and i would just need 7500000 for the next "king of kor medal" making it impossible to obtain another one ^-^ am on red 44 btw)

Depending on your patience level with this method (and mine is approaching zero), you may consider the alternative "Reconnaissance" ribbon boosting method. Long term, if you can get the Act3-Ch1 method to work, there is a lot of "bang for the buck" there and you can rank up fast.

However, if it is getting too frustrating, you can still make pretty fast progress with the "Reconnaissance" ribbon. See thread here:

just stay focused, but what I see, many people are not reaching,to you to decide which method is best for you, but I tell you clearly, 3-1 is the method most related to XP (if you do not fail on the scoreboard)

1-100 (3,8 mil) in average 12h, what more?

I noticed that if you use the longshot that if you shoot the second reaver with out the super reload and kill it the second one keeps getting closer to the first one. I did this a few times and it got so close that I could not get the second shot out before the second one went by

Since they added the achievement list, I have found that the online method greys after 3 times. I did this on my xbox and my friend also had the same effect on his. Nonetheless, clearing the cache and going offline works without a doubt, and I went back online with the update and everything is fine. Also, 2.5 million reavers, plus whatever you kill in the rest of the chapter will net you 2.6 which is 6+M after multiplier. Did it last night for 700k XP in 3 hours.

Tried this today didn't have time to go up to 3 mill but if you are doing this to get xp to re up you are wasting your time. If you are a lower level then you'll get a little boost but Im at 83 and did this for over an hour and got next to nothing for xp. This is more for the King of Cog medal than anything else. Probably should remove the solution because it is very misleading.

To justify my negative vote, i would like to give reasons.. So first of all. If you're going for Serously, no boosting is needed.. You'll get so many points just by playing the game as it's meant to be played! Even by boosing tons of it..

Second and in my opinion most important, you CAN mess up your saves and lose your progress by not playing with the current patch.. It happened to me in the first weeks where the game was released (unpached) and i lost my golden Lancer and my progress! There's no way to get it back and you have to start over.

I would NEVER recommend playing the game offline without the latest patch!!! Just think about how many hours you played and a los of your progress for a cheevo which will be obtained along the road

@FedderTheGun;Thank you to argue your negative vote
Personally,I am not one of those people who want to seriously achievement, so I found another way to make lots of XP without playing for months, this is the only reason for this solution!

For those with a turbo pad I would recommend the Reconnaissance ribbon method as well, simply because you can rank up while idle. I've borrowed a friend's Wildfire EVO, which has an auto-fire feature that means you don't even have to hold down the thumb stick. At the current rate I think I'll have all of the re-up achievements and skins within a week.

@FederTheGun some of us find the levelling far too slow, by lv50 I was getting bored, if kills in Horde weren't so unrewarding I'd still be playing that

Hi all I'm writing this because I noticed I reached level 100 and either I messed up and didnt choose to re up. but I checked in stats and there is no progress anymore , I do have the war supporter medal and king of cog , but if If I'm understanding this right if I do the offline method I won't be able to unlock seriously 3.0 ? And is there any other way to unlock this achievement? Because I have a gold emblem instead of numbers ? Or did I mess up and screw myself out of this achievement by not paying attention?

Warning to the people who are paranoid about re-upping.
THIS DOES EFFECT SERIOUSLY 3.0! You do keep the ribbons, character unlocks, Gold Omen Skin and medal progression (including Lv100 Onyx), but you will need to attain level 100 again... The "Attain Level 100" on the Seriously 3.0 achievement requirements gets un-ticked when you re-up.
Also no XP gets carried over... It just goes down the toilet.
Think carefully before choosing.

Simply go to stats and rewards and click the X button. Confirm you want to do it and you will earn your achievement and a new weapon skin pack.

Also your new rank will be in a green colour font, not white.

I really wish I had waited on some of my onyx medals. I had about 1.5 million xp that I assumed would have carried over. Now the xp for those medals is wasted. Sigh

Holy crap Epic, way to screw us over. I hit 100 a few months ago and have probably 500K XP that I'm now going to lose.

I gave up on Seriously 3.0 a long time ago, but this is just shit. Epic is truly the only studio I know that actively abuses their fanbase with redonkulous achievements.

Maybe GrmRpr60 should reread this post. Seriously 3.0 is affected because by reupping you are no longer level 100 so if you get all the onyx medals before getting back to level 100 you wont earn Seriously 3.0

It does affect it, because if u notice go to your achievement progress at the bottom for Seriously 3.0 and u will notice that getting to level 100 progress is gone. So to get Seriously 3.0 you have to get level 100 again plus those onyx medals of course.

@Pedle Zelnip: You couldn't be more right my friend. I lost 2,889,229 XP from doing my re-up. I think epic needs to be locked in a room, not allowed to leave until they complete Seriously 3.0 themselves, going through the painful torture we all suffer from them. lol

I second that, i lost close to 5 mill and a friend over 6 mill, they should change the achievement description to, obtain all onyx and be at level 100, having what is there currently is misleading, also the lame thing is getting the seriously achiev will net you xp for the medal, why it cant be used as you will be at level 100 to get it and the xp doesnt carry over, lame lame lame

Not to be to harsh on you guys but you do realize that the reason the XP didn't carry over is because Epic knows everyone cheated to get it. Everyone that glitched the War Supporter to boost XP cheated in their minds. I guess they figure they would rather award the people who are getting there medals legit. I am not against anybody for boosting, i am simply stating why Epic did this. I've been idle boosting all my playlist medals so i am in the same boat, but the Socialite achievement i will get legit

@Honz Brix: You could be right about War Supporter. Or it could be a dirty marketing move to make hardcore gamers "force" themselves to play the game even more. The replay value increases on versus mode yet again. : /
I wouldn't be surprised if there was another achievement coming out later making you get to lv 400.

@ Honz, thats still bullsh*t on epics part they screwed up with the war supporter and besides the vast majority of my xp has come from playing anyway, ok so i still have to get to level 100 again for the 2nd prestige achieve but i would have rather been on my way to that with the seriously one in the bank as would everyone else in this position, removing the porgression tick for level 100 is still a pile of crap, also you get a bunch of xp when you get the seriously medal, why?, as thats just wasted as you will be at max rank so it wont count

last time i ever buy a game with near unobtainable achievements....sorry but im not playing this game all the way until im 40 goddamn years old!!! fuck Epic and everyone that supports them....they make good games but they have their heads stuck way up their asses....if you make good games you will have a huge fan base no matter what. its not necessary to slave us into these games....Call Of Duty is a perfect example of how you DON'T need ridiculous achievements to keep gamers coming back. COD is fun and GOW is a chore!! Once again, FUCK EPIC!! and FUCK the DEVELOPERS who thought Seriously 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 was gonna create a repeat fan base.

@MattyOxHxc: I can top that.

EPIC's idea of replay value is to make the game not a chore, but a prison sentence for the true gamer. It took me 2 years just playing 3000 matches on Gears 2 (for fun & casually), but 3000 per game mode is an utter joke. That would take me 12 years!! I loved Submission and Guardian from that game. They were the only game modes I played. Why did EPIC turn them both into the shittest game mode of all games, CTL (apart from Wingman)?! Because they love feeding off of your soul. Not to mention the criticism they have received for being the most glitchy game in existence, they don't handle the problem and fix it, they spitefully make the game worse because they have the minds of 10 year olds having bitch fits, and they are too rich to give a toss.

I don't think the game testers at HQ have actually played through the achievement Seriously 3.0 and know how soul-crushing it is to go for (with the addition of being reset constantly...). They'd rather be making it harder for the gamer to go for it by updating new features that block off certain methods that helped you get there faster.

I also bet you EPIC never polished up the game through Apr-Sept. They just made the DLC early so it's less work to care for in the future. Every DLC out has messed up the game even more on top of how it turned out day one. And dedicated servers? I have never had it since day one. Always host migration and host advantage... Bots teleport and players lag out...

*deep breaths* rant over lol (I'm just so fed up of being reset when I'm almost done for Onyx Medals) But really… EPIC abuse their fan base deliberately. Anyone naive enough to not understand that must be a VERY casual gamer, or must be 12, or VERY uneducated, or works for EPIC.

I LOVE SERIOUSLY 3.0! I game too much, I am 23, I have a BSc sports psychology degree and studying for a PHD, and no I don't work for epic.
I admit, the resets, the servers and the host advantage is annoying so I back up my data. However, I have never met nicer people while gaming or boosting than the Seriously hunters! All the guys and girls on my friends list are from Seriously 1.0 or 3.0! Swings and Round 'a' bouts I guess?! (so I must be naive).

Much like the solution above, along with the video posted, I would suggest doing this method. However, I just wanted to add a couple of points to it.

First: Act 3-1 is the fastest way, and by fast, it will atleast take you 8-12 hours providing you do not mess up at the end of chapter stats screen, because if it loads into the next chapter, the restart last checkpoint will be the next chapter resulting in doing the infinite spawn reaver kill over.

Secondly- In order to get to obtain a score around 1.5 million while killing reavers you will need to bag roughly 180 kills. My advice is only shoot incoming reavers and not the out going reavers headed to the battlefield as it is very inconsistent and will only add to the grind and frustration, as stranded shooting from the towers will nab kills and no assists are tallied during this portion.

Third- use the mutators above (super active reload, enemy regeneration, and no ammo pick-ups) you can easily run back and grab lancer ammo from the gun rack in the garage.

Fourth- maitaining a 10x multiplier will also help boost your onyx for the force multiplier onyx and you will also be awarded towards arcade chapters played as the continue to calculate at the end of each chapter even atfter reloading the check point.

Fifth- ensure to always active reload, as well, even when the fuel tank is dropped enemies will continue to respawn, however, if there is one located in the garage, usually crouching against the sandbag or on the visible corner wall directly to the left and visible from the platform you are on, kill him first (sometimes enemies won't respawn if one is alive) anyway it will take you about 6 mins to complete the end checkpoint with a 10x multiplier, and with 1.5mil score after the reavers you will have a total score around 4.3 million, meaning roughly every 2 reloaded checkpoints the King of Cog Onyx medal will be attained resulting in 20k xp everytime you get it.

Finally, at later levels of your ranking you will need to obtaing the onyx medal roughly 4-5 times in order to rank up. Yet, most importantly, as soon as you see the end chapter stats hit the start button or else it will carry on and you will lose that checkpoint.

Good luck and happy grinding!!!
Medals available through this method: Aficianado, Force Multiplier, and King of Cog. Do this method for both re-up achievements. Cheers!!!
EDIT**** In order to accomplish this...Disconnect from the internet and delete your cache!!!! It will still work without a hitch. Also, if you are going to get Seriously 3.0, then you will have to hit 100 again whether you stay at green wings or progress to red wings in order for the reach level 100 to be recognized as completed.

As of now and I am sure before the new DLC on March 27th the infinite respawn of reavers has not been patched. It's not as though anyone has altered the game in order to achieve this, it's a development issue that they never changed or left in post production. Epic will not fault anyone for utlizing the mistake on Act 3 Chapter 1 or if someone decides to do Act 2 Chapter 2 hill run a million times.. :) but ultimatley it works and I or anyone I know who has done it, has not been penalized in anyway. Cheers.

As for being reset, there are still a ton of videos showing this as a legitimate way to grind XP and attain level 100 and re-up. I would bet that on a whole, Epic is not concerned with people doing this, when many have modded stats via programs. Also, I am sure the are working on PVP dedication fall throughs, map rotation and how everything will be effected upon DLC release in March. This is the least of their worries, and it is not "hacking" or "system modding" :)

I'm sure I saw one where the game got a checkpoint just before the scoreboard, it would save time not to keep re-killing all the enemies

The above solutions are good, but the fastest and most fun way for me is doing insane horde with at least one other person. The mutators I use are super active reload for more damage, must active reload, and a fun mutator. You can put on comet and big explosions if you want it to be easier.

After every 10 waves you get a lot of XP for consecutive bonuses and such. I go to wave 30 and then restart because it gets too difficult after that. But if you have the people then go to 50 for max points! This way is not a glitched way or anything so you dont have to worry about anything being reset. This also does not feel as much as a grind because you have playing horde with friends. You are guaranteed a rank up almost every 10 waves if not 2 in the higher levels (70^)

Once you reach level 100 you need to re-up which is going to the stats and awards screen from the main menu and pressing X then following the instructions.

So in summary:

Game mode: Horde
Difficulty: Insane
People: At least 2
Mutators: Super Active Reload (must), optional: all the rest
Map: Raven Down is the smallest but you can choose whatever
Waves: at least 30 but the more people you have then the farther you can go. Just make sure you finish after every 10 waves

Happy Hunting!!! toast
