Gears of War 4

I noticed the tracker went up at the end of the 1st round and at the end of a match.

I call bullshit. My tracker had not budged

Well I am not going to play the bullshit card but this did not work for me.

This doesn’t work anymore. It was working yesterday as I jumped from 85% to 95% really fast but today it’s going up much slower.

I noticed the same thing. Cant say fast game modes are what triggers it but i've gotten 36 hours of time added to my progress in only about 12 hours of actual playtime. (this is doing it against co-op vs ai playlist)

I went from 38% to 78% in a couple days having played what I would estimate to be 10 hours. And now my ticket is on 80% and is going up normally. Wish I could figure out how to get it to zoom up again!

So, fast game modes are the way?

From my experience I’m going to say Guardian is a good mode. Just played 4 fast ish games in 30 minutes and my counter went from 90 to 93%

I call bullshit, been playing over the last two days and my tracker has moved about 3%. That's in multiple game modes with co op VS ai playlist.

I just got from 71% to 100% playing about 6 hours straight vs AI, mostly guardian, dodgeball and warzone. And still missing a map :/

I actually noticed my tracker was going up increasingly fast whilst trying to get the weapon kills for 'Master of Arms' achievement and then came on here to see if there was actually a bug and turns out there is, so i'd say it is a bit buggy.

I can confirm that I was getting 1% progress (1 hour) for every Warzone Co-op vs AI match played, so about 10 times faster than it should be.

I also noticed this after reading the above comments. In about 20 min, I went up 3-4% already! Nice find and thumbs up!
EDIT: I found out the game doesn't register seconds in matches whenever you check the war journal. So the game basically sees the seconds as minutes on top of the normal minutes played depending on what game type you play.
Warzone, dodgeball, TDM and guardian are your keys to successfully speeding up your "played hours".

Can you just leave your controller on over night or will it kick you off?

I'm having the opposite issue. My progress isn't moving at all. Played at least 5 hours tonight and no movement.

Hey guys, can anyone confirm if this is still working?

Does this still work?

I can confirm it still works with guardian & warzone. Each round finished below 1 Minute seems to count for 10 Minutes of gameplay

Yeah still happening now, 1 hr of warzone and I've made 9% progress

This is still working in warzone and guardian.

Anyone else’s progress in co op vs AI stopped and won’t go up anymore?

It's not working for me either. I've only tried TDM, KOTH and Guardian matches though. Will give Warzone a go.

Update - I've found you can make progess in Co-op vs AI if there are other human players in the game

k what about co op vs with 2 controllers

The time bug still works as of May 30/20. Just unlocked it a few minutes ago trying to push the game completion under a minute and the tracker would go increase.

It is possible to do with coop vs AI. The easiest game mode is Warzone because there are no respawns. Dodgeball works, but more difficult if you are the only human player. On top, the map size is also a factor taking time to build a strategy to kill most of the bots where possible.

Can confirm this still works. We got about 8 hours worth of progression in an hour playing warzone.

I can confirm that this continues to work. It is possible to progress in coop vs AI with two controllers, use a rubber band and always shoot with your bot's weapon at the beginning of the rounds.

Note of caution: at certain points on several occasions, my progress stopped advancing based on both the internal tracker and xbltracker.com. It seemed to happen after playing a lot of matches (warzone vs bots) over several hours. Recommend people track their progress actively to avoid wasting time. On the third instance, I had to do a console reset (Settings > System > Console Info > Reset) (this doesn't affect your games, saves, progress) to get it sorted.

Dameemeister, you will idle out about 30 seconds into a match, even if you rubber band you need to move at the start of each round to trigger it. So, no you cannot leaving it on.

Hey, X O Jonny, this was still working for me a couple of days ago so I imagine it still is today. Progress is definitely slower in some games types. I always try voting for warzone, guardian or dodge and trying to get the round to last between 50-59 seconds (although that's totally dependant on how blood hungry everyone else is). Seems to be doing the trick though. Last 3 games of Guardian I played it went up 3%.
