You can just play and complete the last wave (50) with the aforementioned requirements (Marcus, Cole, Dom, Baird, Anya) on any difficulty and you will get the achievement. We did this on private casual. If your group is missing a character, obviously you can just craft the cheapest one available with scrap. Quick and easy with this cheese.
Edit: Do wave 50 horde to be safe, apparently doing last wave of horde 25 variant may not work.(credit rafa1000house)
Edit 2: Some reports of issues with certain character variants. These have been confirmed to work with respective scrap cost (Thanks to HolyHalfDead)
Classic Marcus(600)
Classic Dom(600)
Classic Cole(600)
Classic Baird(600)
Civilian Anya(2400)

dose it have to be insane?
By DeceptiveTen on 09 Nov 2018 00:15

By T Dawg182 on 09 Nov 2018 00:20
Dont know anyone who plays Gears online, so if anyone is up for doing this hit me up.

Whoot casual - wave 50 only :)
By Onsidic on 09 Nov 2018 01:10
Anyone care to find out the cheapest variants of those characters? :)
By MushaConvoy on 09 Nov 2018 02:11
All characters have as cheapest variant a purple 600 scraps skin. Although for Anya we used a golden one.
Dammit, we did all 50 waves for nothing. I wish I had seen your solution before attempting this.
By rafa1000house on 09 Nov 2018 03:00
Don't know why you have 2 negatives for it worked first try
By Arador on 09 Nov 2018 05:26
Any character variants will count right? Classic Delta, E-day etc.?
By Anima Pura on 09 Nov 2018 09:31
We did a 25 waves yesterday. One of us had a black steel cole. We didn't get the achievement. Guess you shouldn't take black steel characters?
Thanks for the guide
By Kelle1994 on 09 Nov 2018 13:17
Any character variants should count, I don't know why your black steel characters didn't, that's puzzling.
By T Dawg182 on 09 Nov 2018 13:58
If there's any confirmed variant not working I can update the guide,
By T Dawg182 on 09 Nov 2018 13:59
I guess it didn't work for him because it was a 25 waves horde. The last update before this one has some achievements that only unlock on 50 waves horde.
By rafa1000house on 09 Nov 2018 14:04
Did all 50 waves last night on private insane 50 wave horde with Tomorrow Anya, Armored Cole, Classic Dom, Biker Marcus, and Old Baird (as seen in the Gears 4 campaign). Did not get the achievement for some reason
By PridedODST on 09 Nov 2018 16:58
^ Yeah, that was really weird.
At least we got it in the end!
By Hooded Claw 006 on 09 Nov 2018 23:49
Congrats on noticing the "complete" requirement which doesn't talk about doing all the waves. I'm amused and happy I got it easily after doing a full 25 wave variant and not getting it, great solution!
By Anima Pura on 10 Nov 2018 21:37
Same deal, people already had the achievement in our party and it didn’t work
By bigbadblubanana on 11 Nov 2018 08:24
Wave 25 NOT WORKING ONLY WAVE 50!!!
By Fl0wD0m16124 on 11 Nov 2018 11:09
Worked for me after i started on wave 49.
By Bene ss17 on 11 Nov 2018 21:16
Wasn't working for us, starting from Wave 50 Casual, one member had the achievement already, tried them as both host and someone without the achieve as the host, no change. Was using the following skins:
Classic Marcus
Classic Dom
Classic Baird
Classic Cole
E-Day Anya (was the only 600 one)
Also, two of the players were second controller 'guest' accounts, not full accounts. Still had the correct skin though.
By MushaConvoy on 12 Nov 2018 00:01
Just to enforce Rafa1000, it seems that the 4 classics and Civil Anya was the only combo we could use to unlock achievement.
By Solario32 on 12 Nov 2018 04:46
We tried a few different skins, such as Dress Uniform Cole to avoid spending scrap, but we didn't get the achievement until we used:
Classic Marcus (600)
Classic Dom (600)
Classic Cole (600)
Classic Baird (600)
Civilian Anya (2400)
Even then the achievement didn't pop, so we tried again from wave 49 and got it.
The solution needs to be updated with that information.
By HolyHalfDead on 12 Nov 2018 10:16
Hi guys. Played with friends who already got the Chievo. Even with a second account because we were only 4 but we took classic caracters. We did security causal wave 50 private and chievo poped as soon as wave was done. Must definitely have to be the caracter skins
By NEOGZA 4ever on 12 Nov 2018 11:01
This achievement solution is right, works only with classic characters. I tried with non-classic variants and doesn't worked. I did this achievement playing on the last wave (50) on Casual with the characters of solution.
By netstryker on 13 Nov 2018 23:54
GUYS, make sure you play on the FERAL VARIENT. Just play the last wave with Classic Marcus, Classic Dom, Classic Baird , Classic Cole and Civialn Anya
By x JonnyT o on 22 Nov 2018 16:53
Our was: black steel classic baird, classic cole, e-day anya, classic dom, black steel v-day marcus. The guy with e-day anya had it already and we all got it
By KontoGR on 26 Nov 2018 22:50
This solution worked for me. We previously tried Biker Marcus, Classic Dom, Classic Baird, Classic Cole, and Tomorrow Anya on a 25 wave variant with no luck.
By Nibcrom Lives on 27 Nov 2018 18:24
So our group just did it with normal bearded Marcus, civilian on Anya and classic on the other three. Waves 1-50 insane on Gridlock. Achievement didn't pop. Either something glitched or regular base Gears 4 Marcus doesn't count.
By staindgrey on 29 Dec 2018 09:57
We did it with all classic characters and civilian Anya, inconceivable difficulty and it didn't pop. We then went in at level 50 only on casual with the same characters and it popped.
By ProfessorPluto on 31 Dec 2018 01:35
Anyone wanting to do this achevo message me.. my gt is skorpztm
By SkorpzTN on 05 Jan 2019 16:25
An update, finished this last night. Had Classic Characters and Civilian Anya for all,
Tried the wave 50 start and did not work, maybe patched?
Tried a private 25 did not work.
Finished a Horde Mania(Insane/25), finally popped the achievement.
By DKVader31 on 20 Jan 2019 17:22
Wave 50 only method still works, 24 FEB 19
By BushidoBrown305 on 24 Feb 2019 22:37
If anyone needs this, I have civilian anya.
By death metal jay on 28 Feb 2019 15:42
I am late, but is still working the wave 50 method?
By MAJICO70 on 16 Apr 2019 12:46
Did this the other day, dunno why, but only 2/5 of us unlocked the achievement.
By WillB636 on 22 Apr 2019 17:18
Unfortunately it can happen. Happened in my session, the achievement has unlocked for me and two other friends, but didn't unlocked for the two others. Just repeat the session the same way. Can be repeated with others friends who didn't the achievement too.
By netstryker on 23 Apr 2019 03:06
Looking to try for this achievement tonight. As I read the following comments, I see a number of folks completed 50 waves and the achievement didn't unlock (for whatever reason). Wouldn't this have been apparent at wave 25? I'm assuming you played waves 1-50 and not just wave 50.
By Doc Yendor on 22 Jul 2019 00:30
If anyone still wants to do this achievement, message me here or on Xbox Live.
By WaKK0r on 07 Sep 2019 15:22
Just got this with the following characters:
Classic Cole
Classic Dom
Civilian Anya
Armored Marcus
Armored Baird (me)
Seems like the armored characters are fair game too from what I can tell! I did do the full 50 waves though, but I’m not sure if that played a role.
By PerilousPWN on 26 Jan 2020 01:27
Confirmed Armored Marcus works. Did it on just wave 50.
By oberfurSSjon on 06 Apr 2020 00:57
If anyone is still looking to do this send me a message. I can make any character needed and it shouldn’t take long if we only need to complete the last wave
By TuftyAlx312 on 23 Jun 2020 10:28
looking for people to do this achievement

Add me for this and other Gears achievements. GT: Apathy V3
By Apathy V3 on 02 Feb 2024 16:59
Can confirm that if any one in your party has the achievement that it wont unlock for anyone else!
Even if you do waves 1-50 legit, on Insane. How weird is that?
Unless they have some weird specifics on what skins do and do not count for each character.
By TheIrishBeast on 11 Nov 2018 05:27
Guys, this story about people having the achievement prevents it unlocking for you is not the reason, because 2 friends of mine unlocked playing with 3 players who had the achievement already.
The first time it didn't unlock because one of them was using Old Baird. As soon as he changed to Classic Baird, it unlocked.
So, the problem should be the skin.
I can confirm Old Baird doesn't work for this, so Old Marcus, Cole and kinda-old-Anya may not work as well.
To be safe use skins like the achievement picture:
Classic Marcus
Classic Dom
Classic Cole
Classic Baird
Civil Anya
Those I know for sure will work, even if you have people with this achievement on your party/lobby
By rafa1000house on 11 Nov 2018 13:52
Did they fix this? Have tried have just wave 50 casual three times and it's not popping. One guy in our group did already have the achievement before we started
EDIT: we replaced the guy who had the achievement with someone else and it unlocked. Might have been skin-related, as the new guy used a different Anya skin (first guy only had E-Day Anya). Everyone else used classic characters.
