How to unlock the I'm Drumpf achievement in Gears of War 4 - Definitive Guide

UPDATE May 18 2017

This technique was not working for awhile. It worked perfectly as shown when I posted the video, but then at some point the enemies were changed. Whether it works depends on the enemies that show up. The method still works if the enemies are Shock Trackers and PeaceMakers. If there are Juvies instead of PeaceMakers then the technique won't work (and in fact I could not complete the round even with level 4 sniper strike). Credit to YouTube user Buzznut3000 for pointing out to me that it was not working. I tested it today and again it works sometimes depending on what enemies show up.

END OF UPDATE

Credits are earned by playing multiplayer or horde mode. To get this achievement you need to earn 100,000 credits. Below is my method for farming credits.

How to Credit Farm with Sniper Strike at Level 2 in Gears of War 4:

Other credit farming guides I've seen have noted using Sniper Strike leveled up to level 4, or level 3 with needing to mop up a few enemies. Since It's a pain to get the skill leveled up I came up with a way to do it with sniper strike at level 2. Each round takes approx 3-4 minutes total, nets 71 credits and 3-4k experience for the profile performing the sniper strikes. You can have other players in the room as well who are away from controller and they too will get the same number of credits. They get much lower experience as they are not getting the ribbons that the sniper strike person gets. If you have online players in the room they should have wired controllers if they are away from controller so their controllers do not disconnect.

Horde Mode with the following settings:

Map: Gridlock
Difficulty: Insane
Wave: 41
Class: Sniper, must have sniper strike equipped and it must be at least level 2

When round starts run to fabricator. Pick it up, immediately drop it, and immediately pick it up again. Carry to the spot shown in the video. Build and place a barrier as in the video to keep shock trackers out. Then use sniper strike to eliminate enemies (you should be able to use the skill 8 times). There are 39 enemies in total in this wave, so the 8 uses of sniper strike usually have no problem killing all the enemies. On VERY rare occasions you may have to mop up an enemy or two, but that is rare. Once the wave 41 completion screen is finished and wave 42 starts, immediately exit to lobby. As soon as the coalition symbol goes away hit A (skip), then B (close), and finally X (start match) to start the next round.

A video of me performing the technique is below.


And a video of me performing the technique after my update to the solution (video made on May 18 2017)

Working for me on 41, Insane (Ironman) with lvl 4 Sniper Strike, lvl 5 headshot damage, lvl 4 precision rifle damage, and lvl 1 magic bullet (if any of those matter) for 3-4000 XP, 263 CXP, and 71 credits each round. Something was definitely changed though, I was doing level 49 for weeks and now that spawns invincible sentinels.

Already got my 100K credits while playing local splitscreen with a silver account, meaning that account has received almost 100K credits as well, and that account STILL hasn't unlocked the sniper strike or mortar skill. Horrible RNG.

Thank you for the tip, this method works flawlessly. I used it to farm about 10,000 credits over 2 sessions, so I could buy plenty of the new content released for season 2.

If you were playing yesterday this was a server side issue because of the latest title update and the massive amount of people opening packs because of the drop. The issue should be cleared up now and any credits you earned will be backfilled.

As GolfPro72 noted, there have been lots of server issues this weekend (the gears of war 4 official forums have a whole thread with this). Don't know if it's updated yet, but as of this writing I still can't get into private horde matches with any sort of reliability.

Yeah it is working now. For anyone who has a higher level Sniper Strike (mine is 4) I suggest just dragging the fabricator up to the "sniper tower" and using the strikes from there. It takes less time than going to the "hammerburst tower". Also you don't even need a barrier if your Sniper Strike is a higher level.

So about 82 hours of doing this to get to 100,000 Credits.

Is this method faster for credits than doing wave 49 on sniper strike 4?

I don't think this is FASTER, but it is better for lower level sniper strike cards.

This is a good way to boost for credits to in-turn by more horde booster packs with the hopes of upgrading the sniper strike.

Not sure this still works. Most times I get 4-5 enemies left. If you build a decoy you can try picking the last few off.

actually here are 2 tips for anyone having the problem I was:

Don't sniper strike until you see some enemies. i.e. slow down or you mightonly kill 4 at a time. If you build a decoy, destroy the trackers with your gun as they attack it.
Even if you fail, you will still get the XP, just not the coins.

Now it works just fine :-)

Hey all, thanks for the comments. I updated the solution today. I will try to get another video showing that it still works up on YouTube later (I have to use a friend's profile cuz I've leveled Sniper Strike up since I made the original video).

I don't think it matters what type of enemies you get, even if you don't see the credits on the screen you still get them, the same thing happens with the exp.

ok upon getting sniper strike card today i got it to level 2 and tried this method and yup still works. I did however have juvies and dv enemies on my first run and it went well but had one dv left over which blew me up when it exploded on me. So yeah its a great method to grind coin still

Finally pulled Sniper Strike yesterday so I've been doing this with the 6x XP. I think running with more headshot/precision rifle boosts helps. I've been killing juvies consistently and can complete the wave most of time without having to mop anyone up after.

My cards are: lvl 2 Sniper Strike, lvl 3 precision rifle dmg, lvl 2 magic bullet, lvl 5 headshot dmg, and lvl 5 build cost (I thought it reduced the cost of Sniper Strike but it doesn't so I use it to discount the barrier lol).

Also if you die, don't quit to the lobby immediately or you won't get anything. Restart the wave and then quit. When you load back into the lobby you'll get your XP (not coins though, as someone has previously mentioned).

It’s been a while but last I checked the waves that show all zeros do still give the xp. I always quit as quickly as possible, sometimes it showed all zeros (once every 25 maybe), so I noted the before and after numbers and the xp was still there.

Also the reason I was running into invincible sentinels and not getting max XP was because I wasn’t waiting until The Quint ribbon popped up before sniper striking again. I was doing level 49 over and over during 6.66 XP and blew throw 80-100 in like 2.5 movies :)

I completed the round easily with LVL 4 Sniper Strike with Juvie Wave. It is also more efficient to run speed runs on Insane+ with Bounties to earn credits. You will get around 5K every 2 hours

If you're like me and are aiming to get this waaaaay late in the game, something is off with the tracking. I've spent roughly 30,000-40,000 credits, and currently have 40,000+ available, yet the achievement tracker only shows 36% in the Xbox app, 35% on my Xbox achievement tracker. Don't be me, play the game while it's still active!

Currently running with level 2, ending up with ~22-38k xp (upper end was for juvie waves) and 78 credits per cycle. I don’t think your credits from level milestones count towards this achievement as i’ve made ~15k thus far but have only moved up 1%

Gridlock has sometimes started spawning Guardian on wave 41, if this keeps happening you can try War Machine a try. Same thing happens there, but they can't take pot shots at you from far away so you get a chance to hit them with multiple sniper strikes.

You can also dial it up to Level 44, you get consistently more points but once it a while it spawns two Sentinels which becomes a problem you have to kill manually. They do get trapped on war machine (use spawn as location to put the fabricator), and you can quicky markza + sniper strike.

After they took feral horde out a couple weeks ago this method works much better now, it's always shock trackers and deebees on round 41.
