Hardest Achievements in Gears of War E-Day

Dead Serious is without question the single most demanding achievement in the entire game. You’re essentially being asked to master every piece of content Gears of War E-Day has to offer. Budget a lot of hours for this one.

The Platinum-Style Achievement

• The Lucky Ones Died on E-Day – Earn all other achievements. (0G)

This is Gears of War E-Day’s equivalent of a PlayStation Platinum trophy. It gives no Gamerscore on its own, but it’s the ultimate proof that you’ve done everything the game has to offer.

Tips to Unlock All Achievements in Gears of War E-Day

Start on a Lower Difficulty, Then Replay on Insane

Don’t start on Insane right away. Play through the campaign first on a normal difficulty to learn the layout, enemy patterns, and locations of all collectibles and secondary objectives. Then go back on Insane with confidence.

Do Secondary Objectives as You Go

Secondary objectives are tracked per playthrough. Don’t leave them for a separate pass. Check our Secondary Objective Locations guide and knock them out on your first or second run.

Collect Everything in One Playthrough

Collectibles and Hard Cases don’t carry over between runs if you’re replaying chapters. Keep our Collectibles Guide open as you play to avoid missing anything.

Prioritize Horde Siege Early

The Horde Siege grind is real. Achievements like I WILL MASSACRE YOU (50,000 kills) and Siege Specialist (max all 4 classes) take a long time. Start playing Horde Siege from day one so the grind doesn’t pile up at the end.

Max Out Your Weapon Mods

The This Is My Rifle achievement requires you to unlock all Weapon Mods in Horde Siege. See our All Mods List and How to Unlock More Weapon Mod Slots guides for help.

Learn the Enemy Types

Some achievements require very specific kills — like using the Gut-Puncher to hit two Grubs at once, or reviving a squad member from DBNO. Knowing your enemy types helps you set up these moments naturally. Check out our All Characters and NPCs guide for full details on every enemy in the game.
