How to unlock the Capital Punishment achievement in Gears of War - Definitive Guide
An execution kill is when you kill an enemy at close range when they are downed. Approach the enemy, and standing close, shoot their body (or head). You will know if you have performed a successful execution if the icon in the corner of your screen indicates a similar image to that of the achievement picture (seen in the upper left-hand corner of this page.
Also, watch out if your playing a match with a quick bleedout time as ifyour enemy bleeds out before you reach them then you cant get a kill or if your on Execution then they may get up again so be quick to finish them off while they're down.
1) The opposing player going short ("Short") picks up the grenade, then meets up with the long runner ("Long").
2) Long melees Short with the pistol.
3) Short immediately tags Long.
4) Long melees again, downing Short. Stand next to the downed player when the grenade goes off.
Long should get an execution while Short gets a grenade tag kill. This method is a little buggy, especially if the player has a high-latency connection. When I was doing this, about 1/6 of my attempts ended in only my death, while my partner was left bleeding out. This means you may lose a few kills doing this in a match. However, your parter is NOT at risk of losing kills. You may want to set the bleedout time to 5 seconds.
I was able to complete both Curb Appeal and Capital Punishment with this method. This will eliminate the need to use weapons boosting sessions to unlock them.
- Stomper pulls out the snub pistol, shoots tagger once then melees
- Tagger immediately tags
- Stomper mashes cn_X and cn_RT AT THE SAME TIME. What will happen is you'll fire 1 shot, downing the tagger and you'll instantly start the curb stomp animation, Be sure not be face to face as shots will go through sometimes.
The point of this method is that you're damaging the tagger as much as possible without downing them before they tag you, so that after they tag you they only need 1 pistol shot to be downed. The other good thing about this method is that you can get executions the same way. To get executions do the exact same method, but only mash cn_RT after being tagged. The grenade explosion will kill both players, but it will count as an execution for you because you downed the tagger.

To perform an execution, you must first down an enemy. Once that has been done, you either melee, shoot, or chainsaw the enemy. You do not have to shoot them in the head. Chainsaw kills on downed enemies do not go towards your chainsaw achievement. You must perform this 100 times over ranked matches for the achievement.
