How to unlock the I'm Drumpf achievement

    UPDATE May 18 2017

    This technique was not working for awhile. It worked perfectly as shown when I posted the video, but then at some point the enemies were changed. Whether it works depends on the enemies that show up. The method still works if the enemies are Shock Trackers and PeaceMakers. If there are Juvies instead of PeaceMakers then the technique won't work (and in fact I could not complete the round even with level 4 sniper strike). Credit to YouTube user Buzznut3000 for pointing out to me that it was not working. I tested it today and again it works sometimes depending on what enemies show up.

    END OF UPDATE

    Credits are earned by playing multiplayer or horde mode. To get this achievement you need to earn 100,000 credits. Below is my method for farming credits.

    How to Credit Farm with Sniper Strike at Level 2 in Gears of War 4:

    Other credit farming guides I've seen have noted using Sniper Strike leveled up to level 4, or level 3 with needing to mop up a few enemies. Since It's a pain to get the skill leveled up I came up with a way to do it with sniper strike at level 2. Each round takes approx 3-4 minutes total, nets 71 credits and 3-4k experience for the profile performing the sniper strikes. You can have other players in the room as well who are away from controller and they too will get the same number of credits. They get much lower experience as they are not getting the ribbons that the sniper strike person gets. If you have online players in the room they should have wired controllers if they are away from controller so their controllers do not disconnect.

    Horde Mode with the following settings:

    Map: Gridlock
    Difficulty: Insane
    Wave: 41
    Class: Sniper, must have sniper strike equipped and it must be at least level 2

    When round starts run to fabricator. Pick it up, immediately drop it, and immediately pick it up again. Carry to the spot shown in the video. Build and place a barrier as in the video to keep shock trackers out. Then use sniper strike to eliminate enemies (you should be able to use the skill 8 times). There are 39 enemies in total in this wave, so the 8 uses of sniper strike usually have no problem killing all the enemies. On VERY rare occasions you may have to mop up an enemy or two, but that is rare. Once the wave 41 completion screen is finished and wave 42 starts, immediately exit to lobby. As soon as the coalition symbol goes away hit A (skip), then B (close), and finally X (start match) to start the next round.

    A video of me performing the technique is below.


    And a video of me performing the technique after my update to the solution (video made on May 18 2017)

    II The Beard IIWorking for me on 41, Insane (Ironman) with lvl 4 Sniper Strike, lvl 5 headshot damage, lvl 4 precision rifle damage, and lvl 1 magic bullet (if any of those matter) for 3-4000 XP, 263 CXP, and 71 credits each round. Something was definitely changed though, I was doing level 49 for weeks and now that spawns invincible sentinels.

    Already got my 100K credits while playing local splitscreen with a silver account, meaning that account has received almost 100K credits as well, and that account STILL hasn't unlocked the sniper strike or mortar skill. Horrible RNG.

    JODAWok upon getting sniper strike card today i got it to level 2 and tried this method and yup still works. I did however have juvies and dv enemies on my first run and it went well but had one dv left over which blew me up when it exploded on me. So yeah its a great method to grind coin still

    K1LL3R BEEZFinally pulled Sniper Strike yesterday so I've been doing this with the 6x XP. I think running with more headshot/precision rifle boosts helps. I've been killing juvies consistently and can complete the wave most of time without having to mop anyone up after.

    My cards are: lvl 2 Sniper Strike, lvl 3 precision rifle dmg, lvl 2 magic bullet, lvl 5 headshot dmg, and lvl 5 build cost (I thought it reduced the cost of Sniper Strike but it doesn't so I use it to discount the barrier lol).

    K1LL3R BEEZAlso if you die, don't quit to the lobby immediately or you won't get anything. Restart the wave and then quit. When you load back into the lobby you'll get your XP (not coins though, as someone has previously mentioned).

    II The Beard IIIt’s been a while but last I checked the waves that show all zeros do still give the xp. I always quit as quickly as possible, sometimes it showed all zeros (once every 25 maybe), so I noted the before and after numbers and the xp was still there.

    Also the reason I was running into invincible sentinels and not getting max XP was because I wasn’t waiting until The Quint ribbon popped up before sniper striking again. I was doing level 49 over and over during 6.66 XP and blew throw 80-100 in like 2.5 movies :)

    I completed the round easily with LVL 4 Sniper Strike with Juvie Wave. It is also more efficient to run speed runs on Insane+ with Bounties to earn credits. You will get around 5K every 2 hours

    MathachewIf you're like me and are aiming to get this waaaaay late in the game, something is off with the tracking. I've spent roughly 30,000-40,000 credits, and currently have 40,000+ available, yet the achievement tracker only shows 36% in the Xbox app, 35% on my Xbox achievement tracker. Don't be me, play the game while it's still active!

    The S bot 9000Currently running with level 2, ending up with ~22-38k xp (upper end was for juvie waves) and 78 credits per cycle. I don’t think your credits from level milestones count towards this achievement as i’ve made ~15k thus far but have only moved up 1%

    Blckbird007Gridlock has sometimes started spawning Guardian on wave 41, if this keeps happening you can try War Machine a try. Same thing happens there, but they can't take pot shots at you from far away so you get a chance to hit them with multiple sniper strikes.

    You can also dial it up to Level 44, you get consistently more points but once it a while it spawns two Sentinels which becomes a problem you have to kill manually. They do get trapped on war machine (use spawn as location to put the fabricator), and you can quicky markza + sniper strike.
