How to unlock the Unarmed and Dangerous achievement in Gears of War 3 - Definitive Guide

Quick Find: MELEE kills with the SILVERBACK COUNT towards loader kills, must be in campaign i believe, until proven wrong.

I'd recommend playing the ACT 5 Chapter 2 theres a silverback at the start (just press button behind the boxes) go into the elevator with the silverback and kill the wretches with the silverback, this may be the fastest way since there's loads of wretches that swarm you.

IMPORTANT: you may need perform the melee attack when you stomp the ground for it to count, to do this you cant directly face an enemy. - Im not sure if this is true due to friends obtaining it by kicking enemies.

yup, to help shoot the flame grenadiers at their feet so you dont ignite their canisters, and get close to them and if your lucky some wretches will be clustered around the grenadier. And press the melee button and you should do your stomp killing the flame grenadier and nearby Wretches.

glad I didnt have to play half or more of a level... almost right off the bat to get this. Thanks! Ground stomp seemed to work better than kicks for me

Works perfectly, if the wretches are a pain to stomp you can down Therons with the mini-gun and stomp the downed enemies as well.

I am very confused - you can't select the chapter in RAAM's shadow?! Or is this one the main game?

Edit. Doesn't seem to work for me possibly because I don't have the DLC 😕

Just spent over an hour trying to pop this only to realize I didn't have the RAAM's Shadow installed. Topgun, it might be worth adding to your solution that the RAAM's Shadow DLC must be owned and installed to unlock this achievement

@Chaotic It clearly states with this achievement that’s it’s in the RAAM’s Shadow DLC pack on this page!

Easiest way for me was;

Play on Act 1, Chapter 2 ~ Abandon Ship.

When you get to the Leviathon fight - you are ready to unlock. You can restart the checkpoint as well, so it's no fail!

You will have the option of using the Silverback - do this. It is NOT a loader but it DOES count.

On Casual, once you pop the Leviathon's eye, loads of polyps spawn - back-up a bit and hold B. You will SMASH the ground and either kill via contact or shockwave - stay alive for the fight and you will earn in 3 mins. Easy!

Weird that this isn’t the top solution considering it’s a way to get it within 20-30 minutes of starting the game. Not sure how needing to go all the way to act 4 or 5 is better.

NOTE: You CAN use instagib (second video) and this can be done on any campaign mission with a loader, not just RAAM's Shadow.

Start Act IV: Chapter 5 and choose the rotor option (left).

Make your way through to where the rotor is and hop in the load lifter. Grab the rotor, go through the next two doors and you'll have to fight a group of locusts. Kill the three little guys (wretch, grenadier, and theron) and reload the checkpoint. Repeat a few times until it unlocks.

Shouldn't take more than 4-5 attempts to unlock. Couple minutes total. Just don't mess with the Mauler, he'll destroy the loader, even on casual.


NOTE: I know the video starts early, it's to demonstrate that instagib is on.

Can i do this with mutators or does that not work?

By Brock M Rambo on 14 Dec 2011 22:41
I've heard rumors both ways. I think most mutators are ok but instagib may cause problems with this. I'm not convinced that it locks you out so much as that it has a wierd physics side effects that makes your melee not register as a melee. This can be done on casual though so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Thanxs for a great vid and solution and you got a good vote from me,i got this achievment with 2 reloading check point,i think that destroying boxes counts as kills aswell,just tried with second profile and got the same result

Interesting, thanks for that. I'll have to check it out because I did have a point where I had more kills than I thought I should.

Ok I just finished this achievement using your solution and I can confirm something for you:

Instagib Melee absolutely does NOT affect this achievement. I used Instagib Melee, Super Reload, & Infinite Ammo on Casual and this still unlocked. As for the boxes, I'm not sure, at one point it seemed like a box did contribute, but in the end I'm not convinced it actually did anything at all.

Thanks a lot for the guide!

Start Campaign ACTIV chapter 5 Bon Voyage. Get to the loader and cog area, Follow route to first lot of locust stomp with B button reload checkpoint rinse and repeat. Cheevo is good as done

Load Act 1 "Homecoming" in standard campaign, whatever difficulty you prefer, obviously casual being easiest.
This option is easier and quicker then doing Bon Voyage.
Fight your way to the end of the shopping mall where you need to pick up the supplies with the loader, instead of picking the box of food up just bash in the door, kick the two cars and have at the lambent locusts that spawn.
Best done solo to optimise your killing.

The DLC loader is in Ch4: Under the Shadow.

Since it's near the end of the chapter I suggest restarting from checkpoint when there is one Locust left in the area because his death creates a new check point and you would have to start from the beginning again.

This can be done on any difficulty on Arcade or Campaign, but you CAN'T have the Instagib punch modifier on.

*If it worked for you with the modifier that's fine but it wouldn't for myself and I don't recommend it.

Load act 4 chapter 5. Then go right for the rotor blade. Fight until you enter the room you go into the maintenance bay. Then kill the kantus and sprint to the loader. pick up the rotor blade and smash all the enemies with B. You can kill all the enemies because there is no checkpoint. When they are all dead reload the last checkpoint. Arcade also helps.
