Road to Gears 5: Gilded JD challenge in Gears of War 4

28 2 14

NOTE: This challenge has now expired, there is no way to complete this now. There is no other way to earn Gilded JD in Gears 5 or Gears 4 as at 13/04/20.

I'll leave this solution up on the incredibly low chance TC run this challenge again.

How I did this quickly:

In a private lobby:
Juvie Madness (on the start button and scroll over to Juvie Madness on the enemy list section),
Casual,
Raven Down,
Scout, using the following cards:
Lvl 6 Health, Lvl 6 Health Regen, Lvl 6 Brawler, Lvl 6 Shotgun Damage, and Lvl 5 Shotgun Capacity.

At Wave 1, I put the Fabricator back at statue and then used the Gnasher and melee to kill Juvies and Trackers. Energy you collect can be put into decoys, barriers, sentries etc., to get the Fabricator to level 2 to get the Overkill from the Fabricator.

Don't worry if you dont have the SP, it can be done on any map, going back into spawn or running around if you so wish.

Thought this was a little more engaging rather than doing a straight up speedrun. Things can get chaotic, but if you have decent level cards, it shouldn't really be a problem unless you get multiple Dropshot Scions on Boss waves. I did this in around 2-ish hours.

Does completing the challenges unlock any of the flaming weapons or the midnight omen skins? Does anyone know how to get them now?

Sniper strike, wave 49 or 48 when there are too many Guardians may be more effective for those who still needs XP for reups;

@SICKENED 88
As far as I know, they released all of flaming weapons and midnight omen skins few months ago in a very easy challenge. Now I think there is no way to get them. Did you try to craft one of them? Maybe they're craftable now...

Forget what I said about sniper strike, the Juvie Madness is way faster.
1400 kills in 19 waves..

Juvie madness is way faster than sniper strike. I did it on blood drive with the same cards and let them corner me where the sniper and torque bow spawn in the middle of the map. Just waited for a tracker to come near me and I blew it up killing everything near by. I had 1500 kills in just over a half hour. They dont do enough damage so you can just sit there and wait for a tracker ball to show up and blow them all to hell. Getting the overkill is extremely helpful

This method took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to get the 2500. If I had to do it over again, I would start on Wave 16 and go until I died and start back on Wave 16 again, more enemies, faster...

Thank you @plesniaczek. I've updated the solution to include this.

Just play any horde and play as Engineer. You'll be done before you know it. Once you have a half ass decent base you'll be getting 20-25 kills per wave.
