Comments on the guide for Prestigious in Gotham City Impostors by That505Guy

60 12 64

*** Working method

Play now> challenges> Ace chemicals> pick challenge> exit game (when countdown begins works just fine)> play now> team deathmatch> sign out then sign back in and press a to continue.

This took about 95 seconds to earn a minimum of 10000-30000 XP depebding on rank in game the higher the rank the more gifted XP.

***apparently the below method has been patched I will leave it for reference.

There is an XP glitch for this game.
After completing a match in any game type it will show you the mvps after this you will get a loading screen and then it will place you into the lobby at this point simply goto the dashboard and return to the game to see your xp spike 10-20K

It has been said that it doesnt work properly until you hit level 53

***Read this for the remainder of the achievement as xp isn't everything!

The rest of the guide is just to help you with the other achievements

Now with that being said work toward your winning on every map for every playlist/gamemode. This can be frustrating as you will end up with 4 out of 5 and in my case I won on each map until finally it decided to give it to me so that can be buggy but eventually it will give it to you.

For the gadget achievement just equip the targeting goggles to your class you only need to kill 500 tagged enemies and tag 1000 enemies you should average near 50 tags a game and around 15 tagged kills if you are skilled at the game

my loadout is always nimble. I also run with the shield... The guns that I used where the gatekeeper with the partisan... Extended mags when you do empty out a clip switch guns to finish your kill rather than reloading. Know where the supply points are they will save you if you encounter someone while you are at a supply point move out and in to gain health to give you the advantage. If you take any damage retreat to grab some health

Now when you find the gun that suits you just go through the list completing the challenges for the different weapon attachments. ALWAYS aim for the head not only will you have to get 500 of these kills but it will almost always guarantee you getting more kills then deaths.

Your 50 Nemesis kills
these should come naturally as I got mine at level 60 I am now at 80 with 75 (I also MVP almost every game)

Focus on playing psych warfare as in this game mode you need to obtain 50 panic slap kills which also requires you to be losing... These will be hard as when the enemy team plants the battery and the counter goes down you get demoralized and will not have any ranged attacks only the melee panic slap. The enemy team always has you on radar making it a real pain in the --- to get close enough to slap the enemy go for the smaller characters as it is more challenging to multiple slap the heavier ones. I also have been pairing up with people inviting the ones with mics to a party telling them they can win if they let me have the panic slaps.

The 50 gold medals sounds intimidating but really its easy there is an excess of medals so you dont even need to do any of the challenging challenges. Just do all the easy ones for each map and then pick through the intermediate challenges that you want to complete to finish off this achievement.

Now just force your way through to that 200GS Good Luck

Definitely works. I think the XP gain is proportional to your level, though. I used this when I was in the mid 90's and I was getting about 80K per game. It took a couple of games to move each level.

Posted by Opto Jock on 13 Apr 13 at 05:18

still 70% faster :D I think they did in spite of the game sending people to the dashboard mid-game to compensate for lost XP

Posted by That505Guy on 13 Apr 13 at 11:50

Much faster. It was taking closer to 15-20 games per level legit, and that was finishing most in the top three.

Posted by Opto Jock on 13 Apr 13 at 14:10

I can't seem to get the glitch to work, I've tried dashboarding at different times, I've even watched vids, but still nothing. I did some research and people seem to say that the XP glitch wont work until you are Level 50-60, which makes sense as it seems the vids the guy was in the 60's, and most people say it worked are in the 80s/90s.

I started trying in my high 30's, am not level 47 and have dashboarded every game with no luck, I'll post back and see if it starts working after I hit Level 50.

Posted by Crimson Drifter on 22 Apr 14 at 20:27

If I remember correctly you just dashboard after it shows you the xp earned from that match and I do believe I was 50+ rank when I first found this out.

I did notice you get more xp the higher your rank is...

Posted by That505Guy on 23 Apr 14 at 08:03

I found the magic Level this will start working at, Level 53. This was not working for me until about lvl 48 and it was only giving me 1500 xp each time. Then on the match i hit 53 i did it and it gave me ~12k, played a few more matches and got 10-12k each time.

So in short, the glitch will not work properly until you hit Level 53, if its not working for you after that then you're doing something wrong

Posted by Crimson Drifter on 24 Apr 14 at 17:21

Glad you got it to work

Posted by That505Guy on 25 Apr 14 at 12:10

One guy taught me this!

You go to a challenge! Then quit the challenge.
Then go to for example Bounty hunter.
Hopefully the game wont start. If it doesnt and you sit there waiting, just go to dashboard from there.

Start the game again and get xp.

So no need to play any games!

Posted by MattiasAnderson on 26 May 14 at 03:34

tried this out and this is what I found: you don't need to select the challenges, all you need to do is have the matchmaking screem load up, thats it, but it has to be at the matchmaking screen for it to work and then dashboard before you get in to a lobby, 10k xp almost every 2 minutes.

Posted by S4LUT3t0LUN4CY on 29 May 14 at 02:11

^^ figured that one out also!!

Posted by PointySpred on 02 Jul 14 at 14:37

this works right now?

Posted by xTakac on 02 Jul 14 at 21:02

Currently level 50. Once I hit 53, I'll try it out.

Posted by NeverUnlucky#344 on 03 Jul 14 at 23:41

I can confirm that the still glitch works. After the game loads back into the lobby and totals up your XP, dashboard taking note of what your XP is. Load the game back up, go to track record, multiplayer stats, and it should have gone up quite a bit. I got 20000+.

Posted by AboveAverageDad on 04 Jul 14 at 03:55

Ok wow. You can actually dashboard from the multiplayer stats page in your track record and still get the XP. Not sure how many times in a row you can do this, but in my experience it has varied. Just play another game once you stop getting XP or you can go to edit loadouts and back out so the game will save. Go back to multiplayer stats and dash.

Posted by AboveAverageDad on 04 Jul 14 at 20:41

@SaluteToLunacy: By Matchmaking screen, you mean the "Play Now!" screen?

Posted by NeverUnlucky#344 on 06 Jul 14 at 18:44

The best way to do the xp glitch is to do what MattiasAnderson said but instead, return to the main menu after selecting a challenge (e.g. Ace Chemical) and then go to Play Now, Team Deathmatch. As soon as you see the matchmaking screen, immediately hit the Xbox button on the controller and sign out. Then sign back in and press a to continue. I timed this and this took about 95 seconds to earn a minimum of 10000 xp.

Posted by Skelzorge on 15 Jul 14 at 09:52

^ As for the guy saying this does not work, The guide does not but as Sketzorge said "The best way to do the xp glitch is to do what MattiasAnderson said but instead, return to the main menu after selecting a challenge (e.g. Ace Chemical) and then go to Play Now, Team Deathmatch. As soon as you see the matchmaking screen, immediately hit the Xbox button on the controller and sign out. Then sign back in and press a to continue. I timed this and this took about 95 seconds to earn a minimum of 10000 xp." <---------- This works! As of July 15th 2014 I can confirm.

Posted by Golden Sequence on 15 Jul 14 at 21:04

So they did a patch? Or are you not a high enough rank? I cannot deny nor confirm its patched...

Posted by That505Guy on 16 Jul 14 at 00:02

Removed my comment-

so do we sign out completely out of our xbox live accounts?

Posted by GuTiCid on 16 Jul 14 at 02:53

Yeah, I can confirm that the old xp glitch mentioned in this guide is patched, but this new xp glitch works. I started using this glitch at level 64, but I think it would work from level 53 onwards.

@ GuTiCid: Yes, literally sign out of your Xbox Live account. Then sign back into the account you want to get the achievement unlocked on.

Posted by Skelzorge on 16 Jul 14 at 05:21

Solution has been updated :D please upvote if it helped

Posted by That505Guy on 17 Jul 14 at 01:56

Not to do with the prestige achievement but the motion tracker is alot easier than the tracking goggles, and doesn't leave you vulnerable while using it. Just takes deploying the tracker, and tracking enemies. And it recharges quickly as well

Posted by Quarantane on 17 Jul 14 at 02:31

The only reason I said the goggles is because that is what I prefered while playing... my guide might not be the fastest but if used properly you are guaranteed to get the achievement by the time you hit 100... of course I dont want you to completely mimic my play style but perhaps build your own techniques... I hope it helps though...

Posted by That505Guy on 17 Jul 14 at 05:48

is there a tutorial video of the new glitch? i can't get it to work :(

Posted by BastiXS96 on 17 Jul 14 at 15:45

Going to Track Record -> Multiplayer Stats and then dashboarding from there is still working for me. I got a little better than a third of a level a go.

Posted by BadTriangle on 17 Jul 14 at 21:57

I just did it with the new method. Go to play now, challenges, ace chemical then back out go to play now team deathmatch then xbox guide button then press x for sign out then sign in then check your multiplayer record and stats and you will see the xp went up. I started doing this at lvl 58 maybe and it took around 1-2 hours i think

Posted by SlavenBOSS on 23 Jul 14 at 00:51

Not sure if it is my level or what but I was getting over 25k xp every time I dashboarded. Was level 78 when I started. I also have 10 gold medals on ace chemical.

Posted by ALeXoTiC on 30 Jul 14 at 14:58

Yes you get I higher xp bonis the higher your level ;)

Posted by That505Guy on 30 Jul 14 at 21:12

Wow, just have to go to play now, team death match, and sign out as it's searching for a lobby. I am at level 97 and it's banking me 24,500 every time I sign back in.

Posted by Broon43 on 01 Aug 14 at 20:06

Good glitch better then doing this legit. Already played for over 40 hours.

Posted by AgonyForEcstasy on 05 Aug 14 at 09:11

It's worth noting that you need a total of 2.5M xp to be able to get promoted, to give everybody a goal to shoot for.

Posted by Danny Dubs 86 on 09 Aug 14 at 05:49

It doesn't work... Whats is the "matchmaking screen", is it when the game is searching for a group of players, or is it when you are waiting for the game to begin ?

Another thing, do I have to quit the challenge as soon as it is loaded or do I have to wait until the challenge begins ?

Posted by Sir J Merrick on 09 Aug 14 at 23:25

To clarify just in case:
Play now
challenges
Ace chemicals
pick challenge
exit game (when countdown begins works just fine)
play now
team deathmatch
when it says "searching for group" press xbox guide button and sign out
sign back in rinse and repeat until achieved
as of August 11th 2014 still works started at level 69

Posted by Jv freakgamer on 12 Aug 14 at 03:05

must be a retard...still cant get it to work :(

Posted by potshot506 on 13 Aug 14 at 20:48

Thank you Jv freakgamer for clarifying the solution. I was confused until I read your comment. I got 30,000EXP the first time I tried it.

Posted by Lumberjay85 on 18 Aug 14 at 20:55

Do you need to be a certain level to get the new method to work? I'm 29 and it won't work. How about the dashboarding method?

Posted by Robhill on 19 Aug 14 at 22:03

Another quick reminder: You have to be in rank 50 or so for it to work. You have to go through pain in order to gain those levels; after that, do the trick. (To be honest, to get to 50 is really not that hard, the game is bad that's all). If 50 does not work, keep trying every time you rank up.

Posted by Jv freakgamer on 20 Aug 14 at 03:31

And what's the fastest way to level 50? Boosting? Or a certain game mode? I get a fair few kills in death matches but still level up really slowly

Posted by Robhill on 20 Aug 14 at 07:58

After getting the winnings cheevo, I only played psych warfare its the COD version of sabotage; its 10-12-15 minutes of game (added 15 in case of sudden death if both teams are tied). Go for challenges, headshots, and most of the time winning. Playing with friends also helps to kill time.

Posted by Jv freakgamer on 20 Aug 14 at 13:42

I used a combo of That505Guy and Gameboy679 's solutions, and will post my experiences under both solutions.

I started the sign-out (That505Guy) & dashboard (Gameboy679) methods around level 58. They both yielded the same 22,500XP boost each time. I say I used a combo because I found that by signing out and still being prompted for the WBID crap, I didn't have to take the extra steps of loading into a challenge map, then signing out when searching for TDM ...

*I could sign out as soon as I got to the main menu, after checking my XP gain with Start->View Player Info !!! *

I'm not sure if it is needed to do a "regular" sign-out first (going from challenges to TDM), but I certainly started there, then found that I could just hit Guide Button -> X to sign out from the main menu, sign-in again, Guide Button to hide guide, A, A, then "Remind me later" on WBID page, then Start to check my XP gain!

It took me around 87 iterations to go from 58 to 99 (just under 100 ... I wanted to hit 100 in a real game, haha). I have to think this is a little bit faster than loading into a challenge map each time.

Posted by spxyu02 on 21 Aug 14 at 00:59

Doing this without any xp glitches. I've got 30k experience left and am closing in on 45 hours played, just for anyones information if they want to know how much play time you need to do it legit. Of choose that's just ballpark, everyone will be a bit different depending on skill and psych profiles etc.

Posted by Quarantane on 25 Aug 14 at 22:51

The only reason I dont add a guide to level 50 is because I included a full guide on jow to get all the challenges which has my full loadout/playstyle which is probably being a bit abused by TA players

Posted by That505Guy on 27 Aug 14 at 15:54

The working method works great, but your solution could use some clarity. I had to read the comment to figure out when to sign out. The solution would be more clear if you specify when to sign out as well as when to sign back in.

Posted by Wimp Lo 69 on 05 Sep 14 at 02:45

You should post a solution spxyu02. Your explanation is a little more clearer & simple for the glitch. I started from level 55 & it's working fine. Earning 20-25k per sign in.

I am signed up to WBID so it logs me in every time but glitch still works.

Posted by MaseJ on 29 Nov 14 at 00:45

Your working method doesn't mention anything about signing out... and the old dashboard method does indeed WORK, I am level 68 and dashboard at the game report but only get 10k each time

Posted by GsO Light on 09 Jan 15 at 04:40

Is that better?

Posted by That505Guy on 09 Jan 15 at 19:59

Much better, this glitch is faster than the old method and I get 30k instead of 10k

Posted by GsO Light on 10 Jan 15 at 23:30

as of June 11, 2015 the ace chemical quit to dashboard works. Anyone have reports of negative things happening after doing this glitch: ie ban, achievement score resetting? Just curious.

Posted by Scottichelli on 11 Jun 15 at 23:16

No there isnt any way to track this and the only reason this works is because the Devs included a patch to give people xp when the game would crash out

Posted by That505Guy on 18 Jun 15 at 21:55

Still working; I got my last 800,000 xp in two hours. It takes 4 minutes to do it once, mostly because of the 'Checking for Updates' screen.

Posted by komedo on 20 Jul 16 at 19:14

Confirming still working as of 09/24/2016

Posted by Z GreyFox Z on 24 Sep 16 at 22:30

Works perfectly as of 11/9/16. Thumbs up fantastic guide. Thank you!

Posted by Sharpnificent on 09 Nov 16 at 23:02

04/07/2017 Works perfectly

Posted on 05 Jul 17 at 03:23

Still working as of 02/24/18 and the checking for updates screen is much faster now

Posted by DJB Hustlin on 24 Feb 18 at 20:57

Still works. July 2018.

Play now > challenges > Ace Chemical > select challenge > menu > exit game > play now > team deathmatch > Xbox guide > sign out

Is exactly how you do it.

Posted by MEAT STEW4U on 17 Jul 18 at 04:52

Not working for me. But I am getting "Communication Error. The WBID server is not available at this time. Please try again later."

Posted on 06 Aug 18 at 17:33

Is the Team Deathmatch supposed to start before you sign out? Because after an hour I have not had enough players in a lobby to begin the match.

Posted on 06 Aug 18 at 17:56

spxyu02 solution above does not work for me. But the regular glitch from the OP does work.

Posted by Dr Marty on 04 Dec 18 at 02:09

Solution still working in 2019.

Posted by FreshAspek on 08 Jun 19 at 03:52

The working method still works as of September 2021.

Posted by THEbigBROWNIE on 09 Sep 21 at 02:15

Dashboard method worked for me!

Posted by Smiththedude on 13 Jun 23 at 10:33

Confirmed sign out method works SEP 2023

Posted on 11 Sep 23 at 06:43

Do we need to sign out once a death match lobby is ready or we can sign out while searching for players?

Posted by EBR 665 on 31 Jan at 22:19

Still works today. The way I did it was : go to challenges > start a challenge > quit the challenge as soon as the countdown for the challenge proper starts > search for a deathmatch lobby > when you're in the lobby (I usually did this before I was fully loaded in the lobby and the 1 minute-ish clock appears) press the Xbox button on the controller and sign out of your profile > sign back in on your profile and return to main menu. By the end of this solo boosting, I was earning 45k exp per successful glitches.
One thing to look out for is a notice about corrupted data (after you've signed back in to your profile) that will cancel your exp glitch. When that happened, completing one challenge before starting another challenge and quitting this one usually did the trick. Also it appears that picking a different challenge to quit out of every time helped preventing those corrupted data instances but don't quote me on that.
