    Not a solution. I simply offer a way for you to track your progress.
    You need to capture the ring 200 times, and break the ring 100 times.
    You're able to do it in all Vs. modes including Public vs. AI
    I've added it to my tracker so you can follow your progression.

    You need to get 200 ring captures and 100 ring breaks in a public match.
    This can be done in king of the hill, escalation. At the time of launch for this patch it can also be done in Blitz.

    Apart from boosting it with a full lobby (you'll need 6 xboxes and 10 controllers), your best options are:

    For break play blitz while you can. Breaks do NOT show up on scoreboard in match, but they DO count towards achievement. Instant captures make this very fast. Even without cooperation from anyone on either team it isn’t hard to get 10-15 per round. Best way is to run/roll through ring and out the other side, get in cover/heal then do it again. You can sometimes get four or five breaks in a row depending on how effectively they are defending it. Worst case you can usually get one suicide break, then respawn and repeat. You can’t farm ring captures by capturing it and leaving it though, I’m guessing that an enemy needs to capture in between.

    For captures coop vs AI is probably your best bet but will work better if your team is cooperating with you. Capture the ring then leave and back up a bit so the AI will break it, then recapture.

    If you do manage to get a boost going, blitz would be your best bet, failing that KoTH. It would probably take you all of half an hour once you get together. If you don’t know how to ring boost, refer to the solutions for gears 2. Party like it’s 2008!

    neeker75What actually counts as a break? I saw the ring showing "break", roll in and out - sometimes they count, sometimes they don't. Must an enemy be in the ring when you roll in and out? I know for sure it doesn't count if you kill the enemies guarding it, because it'd become a capture.

    I already have 200 captures without even trying, but the breaks are getting harder to come by.

    PalesiusIf you are playing blitz that will work but if it is normal KOTH I think the important thing is it needs to be fully captured before you make it neutral. Otherwise it won’t be a break. I’m not sure about it not counting if you kill them first. If that’s not working for you obviously don’t waste time on it, but I would assume it would count as a break AND a capture (assuming it starts out under enemy control).

    The rolling in and out thing was mostly about letting them recapture it as quickly as possible so you can break it again. If you kill them they obviously can’t recap and you will get just the one break.

    neeker75Yes, waiting for the "red" to fill up, and the opponent's points to start counting worked for me. Guaranteed break once these conditions are met. Once I got the trick, it was easy. Canals is the easiest map to do this. I got on average 10 -12 breaks per session.
