INTRODUCTIONThis guide contains definitely the most efficient way of earning almost every ribbon.
After following this guide correctly, you’ll have around 120 of 132 ribbons in 7 matches of Versus, 2 games of Beast, 2 games of Horde and 5 games of arcade in less than +- 3 hours! Hi all,
I think everyone has heard about the rank reset-issue/glitch in Gears 3. It doesn’t just delete your rank, but also your Medals, Ribbons, and progress to achievements. This happens due to data corruption while the game is saving. I experienced this on the day that Fenix Rising was released.
Before experiencing the data corruption, I had 2 more ribbons to go for 100%, so you probably understand that I was pretty mad when I lost all my progress. I tried to come up with the most efficient way to earn all my ribbons back. At that moment, I started to make this guide.
Let me know when this guide helped you, I put a LOT of effort in it (Typing this took actually longer than boosting all the ribbons, lol!)NOTES:-Use CTRL + F to find a ribbon quickly!
-Please send a PM if you find any grammar/spelling mistakes – I’m sure there will be some!
-Please send a PM if your method is more efficient, I’ll add it and give you credit!
-Please leave a comment and a thumb up!
-If you vote this down, please tell me why!!

(3) Continue playing with the Guest. Around wave 3-4 you should’ve unlocked the third row of Locust, meaning you can pick the savage Grenadier with you Guest. Plant a frag using the Savage Grenadier. Pick Wild Ticker with your main account. Press X to eat the grenade and walk up to the enemy. Make sure NOT TO GET KICKED, you have to get SHOT. Make sure to stay close to a COG Gear or Stranded (Not a hero!). After blowing up you should’ve been awarded with ribbon 93.
--
(1) Start a private Beast match [Casual] on Checkout with a Guest account signed in.
(2) Pick Savage Drone with the Guest and down every single Stranded in the first wave. Pick Ticker with Main account. The Stranded will crawl towards each other, so it’s a guaranteed triple kill. [Earned Ribbon 92]
(3) Ribbon 102 can be gotten at any point. Complete wave 2 with Main account but leave 1 Stranded. Down this stranded in the last few seconds (Usually savage Drone will do). At 0:01 time left either kick or shoot the stranded. [Earned Ribbon 102]
(4) The First row of locust includes: Wild Ticker/Ticker/Wretch/Savage Drone/Butcher
Just get yourself killed with every character at least once in a single wave. This is easier in wave 3 since you’ll have more cash. [Earned Ribbon 99]
(5) Around wave 3-4 you should’ve unlocked the third row of Locust, meaning you can pick the Boomer. Ribbons 29 and 30 are easier on larger maps, but it doable on Checkout as well. Just stay in the spawn and boom towards the other side of the map to earn ribbon 30. You will probably get ribbon 29 too when downing and killing 2 heroes at once. [Earned ribbons 29, 30]
(6) Around wave 5-6 you should’ve unlocked the Berserker [Earned ribbon 101] which is great for running through fortifications. Just run through 5 fortifications (Decoys and turrets count as well) and you should earn ribbon 98.
(7) Ribbon 100 is obtainable around wave 6, this is the first wave where 5 heroes are running around. (Correct me if I’m wrong here!)
________________________________________________________________
The following ribbons are either easier to obtain by playing online, or require more than 2 people. [_94]> Monkey-Dog – Multiple enemies you stunned were killed (Wretch)
Three enemies have to be stunned at once and have to be killed in 3/5 seconds or less. Correct me if I’m wrong!
[_96]> Team Shaman – Healed 4 teammates at once (Kantus)
If you are going to boost this ribbon with friends, make sure to have your friends pick a Boomer, since they have the more health.
[_97]> Team Saviour – Revived 3 teammates at once (Kantus)
Easy when boosted. Hardly ever occurs in online play. Just play until everyone has unlocked the Savage Grenadier. Have your friends throw a frag at themselves (This will almost down them) and just have them get a little bit more damage from a Sentry. After 3 of your friends are DBNO at the same time, revive them using Kantus.
[_54]> Stop Thief! – 5 kills stolen by others in a round
This shouldn’t be a problem when playing Beast online.

Difficulty: Casual, enable mutators if you want. If you have Super Reload, turn it on. Do not turn Instagib on. Map: Trenches.
(2) WAVE 1: Move the Guest and the Main account to the top of the hill. Give $1000,- to Main account with Guest. Build the base [Earned Ribbon 106], and build the turret. Move your Guest to the turret and start shooting. Move Main to turret and keep mashing Y until Combat Engineer pops up [Earned Ribbon 105]. Make sure to do this within the 30 seconds.
(3) Place Main at the one-shot/mulcher spawn and the Guest behind the sand bags. Continue playing with Guest and finish the wave. [Earned Ribbon 109]
(4) WAVE 2: Build a decoy! Then purchase any weapon, I prefer the Digger on this map. Super reload will help to get kills as you get more bullets for each weapon when active-reloading. Tickers do count. Make sure to fire the Digger in a group for more kills. Killing a group near a decoy will also give you ribbon 116.
(5) Leave 1 LOCUST SNIPER before completing the wave. Move your Main to the Sniper and get yourself killed. Spot a weapon in ghost cam using Main. Move your Guest to the weapon and pick it up. Repeat this 2 more times. It can be done with the same weapon. [Earned Ribbon 108]
(6) Kill the Sniper with Guest and complete the wave. [Earned Ribbon 112, 104]
(7) WAVE 3: Get the Guest killed right away. Complete the wave with Main. [Earned Ribbon 111]. You should have $5000,- by now. When wave 4 starts, move to the Guest and give all your money. If you don’t have $5000,- at this point, complete wave 4 and you should have it.
--
(1) Start a private Horde match with a Guest account signed in. Starting wave: 10.
Difficulty: Casual. If you have Super Reload, Instagib and/or Infinite ammo, turn them on. Pretty much self explanatory, if you have Berserkers as a Boss it’ll be very easy when you have Instagib on. This isn’t too hard on Casual, but Lambent Zerkers are a pain, even on Casual.
________________________________________________________________
The following ribbons are either easier to obtain by playing online, self explanatory, time consuming or require more than 2 people.[_35]> Military Intelligence – 5 opponents spotted ending in a kill
Just keep spotting and don’t kill enemies in a public Horde match. Your teammates will finish them off.
[103]> Long Hauler – Completed all 50 waves in one session
Very time consuming. Do not try this in public! People will usually quit around wave 20. I recommend doing this with friends with a few mutators on.
[110]> Phat Loot – Completed a wave Challenge Objective
Self explanatory; the ‘Don’t die’ challenge is pretty easy.
[114]> I Gotcha – Revived all 4 teammates in one wave
This will probably never occur when playing online. Just get 2 more friends and 2 extra controllers. Make sure that at least one of the 3 has the Friendly fire mutator. Start a Horde match on any map, down every teammate and revive them.

ARCADE CAMPAIGNNOTE 1: For Arcade ribbons, especially the ones to sever mutant arms or kill Headsnakes you can reload checkpoints and the counter will still keep adding. So you can kill 2 Headsnakes, reload a checkpoint and kill another one and it will still count. (Credit to o Melfice)
