Horde onyx disapeared and will not give it to me again

[Thorneweaver]

Hello,

I have another frustrating glitch (I was a victim of the split screen reset before it was fixed) I have played and beat horde on insane dozens of times I have 8 long hauler ribbons and still no onyx For the Horde! I even beat 50 straight waves of horde on insane yesterday.....

I'm not sure there is a fix for this yet. There's been others just like you that have had the same issue, but haven't been able to get a successful fix.

HOW TO ACCESS LOCKED UNLOCKS AFTER BEING RESET:

After being reset, some unlocks (such as the For The Horde medal) become unavailable, and can no longer be unlocked. GD01 figured out a great way around this problem, so that all locked unlocks will become available again. This method has been tried by several people and seems to be effective at fixing the problem. You can read more about it on this thread if you are unsure. There are two guides available for you to follow. One is written by GD01 and is performed while online. The other is a fleshed out and slightly more descriptive guide written by FredFlintstoned and is performed while offline. I will just post both and you may take your pick. Unfortunately, I will probably be unable to answer questions about these guides as I haven't tried them myself. Feel free to ask questions in the thread I linked to above. NOTE: This method will allow everyone who has been reset to acquire the crimson weapon skins, all 3 of the avatar awards, all of the medals including "for the horde" now and everything else as well. BUT, you will have to re-acquire all of the collectibles in the campaign/arcade mode and you'll also need to complete campaign/arcade on hardcore in order to play it on insane.

GDO1- Online guide:
This one was done still connected online. You can use the other detailed one for offline option. No need to clear the cache only if needed or necessary.

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 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 [the game already placed your player data from the backup in the servers or cache but if you like you can transfer the one from the usb or keep it as a back up]

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

I carried on (due to no fix back then) and now back at level 94. To be honest it didnt bother me as had no intention of going for 3.0, but I finally got the Ivory skin the other day but it will not unlock (same with For The Horde/Friendly Fire) ,would this work for that too ... my player file size is 68kb but Im level 94 white which should make it 64kb .. the derank happened while loading the game for the 1st time on another console which kicked me for the dedicted server update which then sent me back to level 1 again
edit .. signature/ Ivory Gnasher changed to Chrome

It should do if something is tied to an achievement like ivory and friendly fire mutator this will unlock it

[hybridsniper]

cool TY will have to try later, as said not been bothered b4 but I want that Ivory seeing as how long I hunted for it .. just have to re-earn Fl4k

[PugdogsDaddy]

Is this method endorsed by Epic ?Friendly fire will not unlock for myself although my insane horde onyx no problem,that and the two for insane campaign,they both popped even though I had 1 of the two prior to my reset in January.Myself as well Hybrid,back to 96 ready to re-up,fingers crossed,saving all the time you know the drill.Really wish they would say or do something about this,this method wipes out campaign progress.....2x insane enough for myself and do not want to lose anything else.

This method is not officially endorsed by Epic, still hoping to see a response from them....

[hybridsniper]

Mine randomly sorted its self !!... Was in a `public standard match of Horde` all players dropped out 1 at a time and I stayed till last man in then it went pop pop and all my previous Onyx that was opened then locked due to de-rank popped up at the bottom right ..... But am having to re-unlock some things ........ hope this may help a few peeps
