"My Fellow Gears" achievement not unlocking

**PolishNinja** · 04-28-2012, 11:03 PM

"My fellow gears" doesn't want to unlock even though I have "We Few, We Happy Few" achievement. That means I have all CHAPTERS in 4 players and no achievement for a whole campaign in less than 4 total players. Chronologically it doesn't make sense. I've had this issue since OCTOBER of 2011 and even though split screen profiles I replayed the story with have been rewarded with "My Fellow Gears" I am still missing it among chievos on my profile!!!! FIX THIS BUG PLEASE!!!! As I recall, I had a similar issue in GOW2 with some achievement and almost a year later got a fix 4 a bug. 4 my money worth hurry up please. GT : MMAmonkeyPL

This achievement is very glitchy, unlocked for me early. I'm not sure whether people say to replay a certain chapter (idk which though)

**PolishNinja** · 04-29-2012, 07:40 PM

I would like everyone who views this thread and experiences the same issue to comment below just to see who else can't unlock it, and maybe we could get together for (another in my case) campaign replay - just a suggestion, we'll see how many of you'd like that

Yeah, I'm beginning to run out of patience. I've had my issue with this Achievement since December of 2011.

I having issues with the Co-op Achivo's I have beaten the game in Co-op and still havent gotten the achievement. It show all the act are checked in the progression box so I have no idea what I did wrong. Wonder if there is a patch thats going to come out for it.

**Jim Tuna** · 05-06-2012, 04:35 PM

That would suck, hope it gts worked out.

**Gearsfan1996** · 06-20-2012, 04:59 PM

Yea I'm hoping epic will fix it hopefully they will release a update to fix this that would be awsome.

**PolishNinja** · 07-10-2012, 06:49 PM

I've had my issue ever since October of '11 YO!!! Big thanks to all of you who view and reply to this post. I'd like this thread to grow (something around 100 people would be awesome) to make it easy for EPIC to understand that customers have a demand of fixing what should've been taken care off a while ago. Anyone who shares our experience with a bugged achievement is very much welcome to make OUR thread more noticable. POST A QUICK REPLY HERE!!!!!!

ok!
i'm stuck with "we few, we happy few" since yesterday.
All acts are checked in the progression box, but no achievement for me.

**FirstFightDown** · 07-19-2012, 05:54 AM

I've got the happy few achievement, but my fellow gears doesn't unlock. This sucks, please fix it.

Yes, please fix this Epic. I've been waiting for 8 months.

**FirstFightDown** · 07-23-2012, 04:28 PM

Is there any way to still unlock it, like playing the complete campaign with a second controller?

**FirstFightDown** · 09-16-2012, 10:53 AM

Still need the achievement

**WarMachine2514** · 09-18-2012, 01:13 PM

Add me 2 the list...still missing it since 11/12

**PolishNinja** · 09-22-2012, 02:24 PM

I've tried everything and non worked, which leads me to the game developers who know they FedUP but won't fix it. It's been few months EPIC still sucks balls! They will not see a penny or any other currency from my pocket. By that I mean that I'll let you all starve to death just like CoD. You're going down and there isn't anything you'll do to change that. I am switching to EA games with real DEDICATED SERVERS!!!!!!!! ALL your games are wacky on xbox360, though releasing 3 trashy titles is by far enough for me. Judgement is for kids without skill, not your LOYAL customers so I will leave it for teens who are legally NOT permitted to own such games (you guys are like drug dealers). SEE YA WOULDN'T WANNA BE YA

There is a way to get it but it will involve you to reset/clear out your campaign/achievement progress. The method below will do this. Your Progression of your ribbons, medals, mutators, characters, wep skins and executions will remain intact. Once you reset/clear your campaign/achievement, play through the campaign with only 2 - 3 players. If you going to play with 4 players, make sure you don't complete the whole campaign with 4 players. Have at least one or two chapters completed with 2 - 3 players only.

If you have any achievement that you are close to complete, do them first before attempting this. Unless you want to go through them again.

Play 1 private match so that you can update your files as well as the servers. Then head to the Menus and straight to the dashboard.

1) transfer your player data and campaign save to the usb, then log off and transfer your gamertag to the usb.

2) log in on the dashboard and start the game.

3) when you see the shield like symbol with EPIC Games logo on it remove the usb and ignore the message that pops up. let it run through till the part where it tells you to Press Start w/ the Gears 3 logo

4) Once you hit start go to your stats/awards and scroll through the tabs and go to the collectables and then to the achievements. Both should be empty.

5) From there (at the achievement tab) place the usb back and a message saying that there's a new storage device or device has changed. Press A to continue which should take you back to the title screen where it tells you to Press Start with the Gears 3 logo. Don't press start.

6) Head back to the dashboard and log off. Transfer just your gamertag back to your HDD [you can transfer your player data back from the usb or keep it as a back up and just play a private match so that it will save from the servers to your HDD.]

7) remove your usb and log back in and start the game. Check back to your stats/awards and you should see your collectables empty and you campaign progress is gone like you haven't even touched it.

You will still have your achievements under your stata/award [ war journal ]. The progress did reset themselves so you will see the boxes pop up even tho you already got the achievement.

All your mutators, ribbons, skins, executions, and medals you unlock should be intact. And their progress as well.

Has anyone tried this method? Does it work?

Yes, it does work. I had to do it to get My Fellow Gears achievement for my nephew.

I have question, what did you mean by this statement, You need to redue all the achievements at tleast once to get them to repop?

The achievements you have are still there. The method tricks the game to think that you have no progression towards achievements, even though in stats/awards states they are unlocked. Therefore be able to unlock items again that require achievements by redoing the objective of the achievement. Hence the boxes showing progression to achievements to pop up.

Ok so in the case of the achievement "Again!" would i need to level up again or level up just once? I just want to be sure i understand so i don't screw anything up.

Once may be enough but may also require to do it twice. So far I haven't heard anything if these will help on the Again achievement. You may make a back up before re-uping. Once you re-up you can go back use the back up and re-up again from that if needed.
