How to unlock the Level 50 achievement in Gears of War: Judgment - Definitive Guide

This is a guide on how to solo boost this method if you do not choose to waste more money on an average game just to get your rank up and achievements unlocked.

This comes from X360A known as the "Aftermath Gondola" method, all credit where it's due to dkykong and co, I'm just writing it here so it makes sense for those who can't understand his explanation.

This method is quite similar to the Act 2 Chapter 7 boosting method for medals in Gears 3, where you reload a checkpoint before a cutscene.

You'll need two controllers (or more if you like, but two is optimal as explained below), only one XBL account is needed, guests for the rest. You'll also have to be able to play Judgement on insane, so finish the campaign once, obviously.

Play through Aftermath's final level on insane until you finish the kitchen and the gas/grenade cutscene starts. go back to the main menu at this point and sign in the second or more controllers. Now, go back to the aftermath campaign and "continue". This should start the cutscene for the kitchen and gas/grenade again. Feel free to skip this cutscene now and you'll be riding the zip lines down while the ship tumbles beside you.

Your main character will then have to shoot all the gondolas for any extra controllers you signed in, once you land on the bottom, you'll hear Baird ask a question about being able to steer the boat, the screen will fade and you should (but not always) see the save prompt come up, hit START as the screen starts to fade to black and then reload checkpoint. It'll take you back to the kitchen cutscene again and score you 750XP for every controller you had signed in. This is where number becomes important, if you're using more then 1 controller you have to shoot out the gondolas on THEIR lines as well as yours or you die, reload cutscene and get no xp. You'll only get the XP once you land safely on the roof below

Each run through takes approximately 2 minutes, so you'll get 7500XP every 10 minutes without having to spend ANY more money or in a large boosting group. Even at the level 40s you're only going to be spending about 10,000XP to level up roughly (I think it's 12-15k by level 48-49) but this method will score you a rank up every 10 minutes easily. Rinse and repeat as much as you want.

Good luck.

Great stuff, used it to go from 32>50 and re-up the 2nd time. A tip for shooting the gondolas, if this wasn't already obvious, is to wait for your character to stop swinging side-to-side. You should be able to shoot Cole's only gondola & Baird's first gondola when you come up on them and stop swinging, both gondola's on the same swinging-pause, and then Baird's second/last gondola is easily shot down after a minor/single tremor (after which there is a short pause, then a bigger/tremor explosion right before you'll ram into the gondola or drop onto the roof). That's just the rhythm I had developed.

In the solution:

It'll take you back to the kitchen cutscene again and score you 750XP for every controller you had signed in.

it actually worked...
though it didn't show the "saving" on my screen the first time after going to the menu, only in the second+ time through if you pause and reload at the right time.

This achievement is earned by reaching level 50 as your ranking status.

For this achievement much for XP you're able to take advantage of any game-types for earning XP towards your level 50 ranking.

-Campaign with up to 4 friends
-Online versus, or even private versus
-Playing the new Overrun Mode will also earn you XP toward level 50.

NOTE #1: If you managed to gain early access to the Gears of War: Judgment Demo and somehow managed to earned enough XP to reach level 50, your XP will transfer to whatever level you were. You'll then pop the achievement once the game is loaded up for this 25G achievement!

NOTE #2: If you've purchased the VIP Season Pass you'll be able to earn permanent Double XP towards your level ups, as long as you're playing in the VIP playlist.

Note #3: You can purchase Double XP ticket packs from the Marketplace. They are available in bundles of 10 matches for 80MSP, 50 matches for 320MSP, 100 matches for 560MSP, and 200 matches for 800MSP. And if you already own the VIP Pass you'll earn Quadruple XP!

So: VIP Season Pass playlist match + Double XP ticket purchases = x4 XP Matches.

Method: (x4 XP will grant the fastest results) The best way to utilize this solution would be to play either Team Deathmatch or Domination. TDM will grant alot of XP if you manage to gain alot of kills, so being confident in your play-style and skills will work wonders for you.

Domination is a guaranteed source for earning the most XP you can for this solution. Now for kills you don't earn as much XP as you would TDM, however the big cash-in is with "breaking" and "capturing" the Domination rings. I earned roughly 10K XP with 4x XP and leveled up every match I played until reaching the early 40's, though those results are varied based on skills and such. Good luck!

Does buying the XP packs really stack that way? I need to get my VIP still, and with that get the double XP. But will double XP be fine enough to get through all 3 level 50s?

From my perspective, it is doable but in comparison it'll be somewhat time consuming. Double XP is beneficial but you'll see a substantial difference with the Quad XP. I pretty much go up a level and a half, per match, with it. And roughly 150 matches worth can get you to Re-Up 3. I'm currently Re-Up 2, level 17, only having used 75 matches so far. And using the method at my starting level 30. More than enough to get my last Re-Up. If you apply this method effectively you could get 3rd in 2-3 days, tops.

I'm not sure. There aren't any XP calculators or lists available yet, but I'll make a list of the XP I earn from here on out and provide a list once I re-up again. I'll edit the solution and inform everyone once it's complete. Great question btw, DeceptiveTen!

Good solution, it doesn't deserve a negative vote, people just give negatives when there is no need. Great work. Positive vote from me.

Is it true that demo xp to carry over is only good for a week after the game came out?

Negged because you didn't say what mode gives the most EXP. 'Online versus' isn't specific enough. There's like... 5 different modes.

but campaign does not give you double-xp when you are a VIP, does it?

I thought only the VIP-Playlists give you double XP.

Yeah I'm going to revise these solutions due to missed information. Sorry, yet, thanks for the constructive criticism. It's appreciated.

Can you play private matches using the XP boosts?

By EDLESON2K6 on 07 Jul 2013 03:29
You only get a fraction of the XP you would in Online versus, if you play Private matches. And you cannot earn any XP bonuses (including Double, Quadruple XP).

Got some good ideas here.

Was playing Versus-Domination tonight with x2 xp and I was getting between 8k-14k xp dependant on the map. Can't imagine how easy this would be with x4.
