    Edit: As of Operation 5, there are now multiple reports this unlocks at ally Level 1. The below is still accurate with the exception you only need to get to ally Level 1 to unlock this now.

    Contrary to the 'buggy' flag, I don't believe this is bugged, the description is just a little misleading.

    To unlock this achievement, you need to get a gears ally to level 3 (not level 1, as you might believe from the achievement description). A gears ally is simply another person you play Gears 5 with. Every time you play something with them, you get ally xp.

    The needed xp as of Operation 4 is 400xp.

    Breakdown
    Level 1 - 25 ally xp
    Level 2 - 125 ally xp (cumulative 150 xp)
    Level 3 - 250 ally xp (cumulative 400 xp)

    The fastest way to get xp is to play the Co-op vs. AI playlist (beginner) and then voting for Gridiron every time. You get 70xp per grid iron game.

    Note: Ideally you should pair this with BFFs:

    Robster80I got this to pop shortly after I got the achievement for using Keegan's ability while playing as Keegan in the Hivebuster campaign story. Go figure.

    DoYouWantAntsAs of 2022-08-26, the second controller method still works as stated by Pathos Da Ghost. I was on the main menu and logged in a guest controller and it popped right away.
