How to unlock the Handyman achievement in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition - Definitive Guide

You must get a kill with the weapon AND finish the match for this to count.

The weapons are:
Longshot
Boomshot
Torque Bow
Snub pistol
Gnasher
Boltok pistol
Lancer
Hammerburst
Frag Grenade
Hammer of Dawn

Tip: if you are having trouble with a certain weapon (eg Boltok Pistol), down the enemy first then switch to the weapon you need a kill with as this DOES count as a kill with that weapon.

*** Credit to Achievement Toy -
"Just to clarify for those that may be having trouble it seems like you must actually have the kill show in the game. It can not be up close when they are down as that will count as an execution not a kill with that particular weapon even though the war journal may show that it is."

Achievement is already glitched for me. Go to my war journal stats to check and it says I've got multiple for each weapon and it wont unlock -_-

I know it may be a long shot but try for a troika kill. Might unlock it? If not you may have to rinse and repeat I'm afraid :(

I started going through the weapons again and after I got another kill with the Boltok (the only weapon that only had 1 kill) I got it after that match.

Rooftops, has one at either spawn. Fuel depot has one in the middle of the map. I know of at least one more although I can't remember it's name atm. If you hold the right bumper down it will bring up a grey screen that shows weapons on the map, use this to look for the hammer spawn. Good luck!

Boltok is also on clockwork.


Just thought I would point out that I was given credit for a kill with a torque bow that was fired from a teammate stuck to me and blew up the guy I was fighting. However, it did NOT count towards achievement.

It can't be done in private mode, must be in social or competitive.

Actually Skillz it doesn't, at least not for me, it just states versus, unlike others which say versus (social or competitive) don't comment please if the only thing you are going to add is harassment.

You can down the ennemy with any weapon then switch with the weapon you need but do not shoot him in the head while he is down or it wont count. Its what happened to me with the boltok and troika. Not sure it happen to everyone though

It was probably "done unlocking..." And unlocked when you were watching the movie.

@thegreenxranger when you down them you have to back up a bit otherwise it counts as a execution.

You must start and end the match for the kill to count. The counter will still add to your total even if you drop out.

do the weapon kills count if we are boostin' the maps using the backout method and the losing team leaves the game only after the players on the winning team got theyr kill with the weapon needed? I know the win counts but I'm unsure abt the weapon kills

Make sure to look at the bottom left on the screen to see if it shows a weapon kill. It seemed like when I killed someone with a headshot it didn’t count. Same thing happened with other people in the session.

For the current playlists:
Blitz does not feature HoD or Boltok

Go to social TDM
Boltoks are available at these locations (and more):
Mansion - Middle of the map, bottom floor of mansion. Just below sniper spawn.
Sanctuary - Immediately next to spawn locations, on side which goes to the low power weapon (boomshot IIRC)


HoD is available in fuel station. Middle of map in main warehouse (and probably other maps)

Seeing as the Coalition took over the rights for the Servers in this game, some things changed quite drastically.

First, only 2 online versus achievements are doable in private matches.

Second, you can either play Social or Ranked games, both work. Although i need to mention that you can choose the gametype in social, as for ranked you are bound to use whichever gametype the coalition put into the rotation (most of the time 1 or 2 different gamemodes).

Third, you need more than 2 players! This is crucial, since ALL the other solutions tell you you can do this with as few as 2 players with 2 second controllers. This is partly true sadly.
For the gametype gnasher execution 2v2 you need in total 4 players, either 4 real players or 2 players with guest accounts.
As for the other gametypes, a minimum of 8 is required to even match up. So either 8 real players or 4 with guest accounts.

For this achievement i recommend the TDM gametype, so you will need 4 or 8 actual players. Simply grab the weapons you still need and get a kill with it. However be aware, downing and killing an enemy sometimes counts as an execution, so rather go for headshots and/or instant kills.

The weapons you need are the following:

Gnasher (Start Weapon)
Snub Pistol (Start Weapon)
Lancer (Start Weapon)

Hammerburst
Boomshot
Longshot
Hammer of Dawn (only works outside of buildings!)
Torque Bow
Boltok pistol
Frag Grenade

If you happen to downvote, please state at least why, i will take this solution down if it takes too many downvotes. So, stay fair and let everyone on TA benefit from this!
