How to unlock the Green Thumb achievement in Gears of War - Definitive Guide

an easy way to do this if using 2 controllers is to have the 2nd profile (profile not going for achievement) run up and to the left into the area that is misting. This will cause the 2nd profile to commit suicide. do this 20 times in 3+ rounds and you will get the achievement. should only take about 25 minutes

Just to clear up any confusion, make sure you're playing the Assassination game type so that the round is over as soon as your second controller dies once.

Just wanted to comment that yes, this solution does work, so thank you for the helpful tip, but it is dreadfully boring to do. Luckily I didn't have to do it 20 times, I had played and won games on this map in multiplayer. But just doing this over and over the times I had to to finish off this achievement got terribly tedious.

I does not have to be assassination. I did all these achievements in warzone.

Do you need to play on a certain game type or online? I did this on Execution for what seemed like 30 minutes (definitely more than 25) and it never popped.

Any game type...did you win 20 matches? It isn't a timed achievment, you need tp win 20 times

Amazing guide. Once I put it on assassination and started playing, 25 minutes later, Blip. Two thumbs up if I could give them.

I did the suicide achievement in warzone offline for like 45 minutes and never got it... Do you need to be online for this to work? Or do you have to play Assassination?

any game type, just like the achievement says...make sure you are playing to win 3 rounds with your main profile.

For the suicide method, can I just run into the gas with the 2nd controller or does that not count?

Took me 70secs/match x 30 = 35mins on Warzone. Does not include the 10-20 secs for the loading and starting the next match.
Great guide, many thanks

I can confirm that this method works. I got my achievement right on 20 wins, by having my 2nd (or guest) account run into the mist and killing himself.

Each match was just over 1 minute, so about 30 mins, including load times, and this should be yours.

Just to confirm, this method has not been patched. I just got this in 29 minutes using Warzone, 3 round matches on Garden and having the second account (not a 'guest') run into the gas three times per match.

Already had one win from when going for the EPIC achievement, so the other 19 wins averaged about 90 seconds each, most of which is menus and loading time!

Thanks for the guide. The suicide method works perfectly. However, I think this achievement is buggy. I'm pretty sure it didn't unlock until I had done 22 matches.

I don't understand how some people can be so oblivious as to how to obtain such an easy achievement. Asking the silliest questions in these comments, I'd hate to see you try for an actual "hard" to obtain achievement with more than two steps.

This solution needs more specific instructions, such as how to navigate from the main menu.

There are two methods to do this.

The first is for people who want these matches to count towards Annex:

Simply start up an Annex player match, 120 seconds for capture time, 3 rounds, and bleed out duration to 5 seconds.

Use a second controller / guest account as the team from the other side, have him spinning around or doing something. Then go and capture all the points until you reach 120 to win the round. Rinse and repeat.

Alternatively, you can do this easily in Warzone or Execution on this map. Set the matches to say 3 round duration, 1 or 2 minutes for round duration. Then go and kill your second controller, rinse and repeat.

Those who wish to vote negative, at least please give the courtesy of explaining why you voted it down. I simply explained my method of what worked for me to get the achievement.

Why go for Annex when you could do the same alot faster by going Warzone or Execution?

This has been purported to show it works on Annex, as it came with the DLC. It is inappropriate to vote on a solution negatively for that reason. This method works for me as it did with others.

Isn't a good guide for this specific achievement. Makes it more time consuming. Above ideas are better. Just do these on execution/warzone then annex on raven down like everybody else.

Steven, did you read my solution sir? I gave two methods to getting this done, one of which would be for those who want to do it on Annex. All you would have to do if it spawns in the gas areas is to just turn off the gas before going in. It's on the opposite side of each area.

It's easier on Annex, stacks with other achievements so Annex is better, as it'll be quicker in the long run.

1. Use 2 controllers and go into Local Multiplayer

2. Pick Garden map

3. Pick Warzone game type

4. Pick 3 rounds and start game

5. Using the controller that ISN'T logged in into your main account, walk into the greenhouse closest to you and kill yourself.

6. Each round will only take you about 10 seconds and maybe 1 minute per game.

7. Repeat each match. Do not go back to the main menu.

By far the fastest way to get the achievement. Which is the main purpose of the Guide. It does not help other achievements but get this with the minimum time possible, almost to the loading time. I vote for the Best way to do it to save time. I have been doing Annex on this and the time is calculated wrongly because this method plus doing annex on Raven Down (where is only two weapons to cap) is faster in the long run and more fulfilling than guessing where the next ring is going to pop. Thanks for the Guide.
