  • How to unlock Suicide Missionary

    To unlock Insane difficulty you will have to first beat the game on Casual, Normal or Hardcore. Beating the game on a difficulty will also unlock any lower difficulty, so starting on Hardcore will unlock Casual and Normal, then you will need to play through a second time for the Insane achievement. If you have a friend willing to, playing co-op with one person on Casual and the other on Insane makes it go very quickly as the person on Casual can just mow everything down while you (on Insane) just stay in cover and take it easy.

    Tips:

    • Play co-op. Not only will this get you those achievements at the same time, but you will have much better help than the AI will give. Unless your friend sucks, of course.
    • Go slow, cover often. The most deaths I've had on Insane have been from messing around and going for chainsaws or trying to move up too quickly. Take your time and get in cover shortly after taking damage so your health can recharge.
    • Make very good use of the Longshot sniper rifle. Headshots are one-hit kills on everything but the Kantus priests and Boomer enemies, and beast-type enemies like Reavers.
    • Conserve ammo. Wretches can be killed easily with a melee hit so try not to waste your ammo on them if possible. Don't spend all your lancer ammo on an enemy you can barely see either. If you have an easy chainsaw opportunity, take it. Coordinate with your co-op partner and distract enemies to get in behind for chainsaws.

    Note: You can get all the "story progression" achievements on any difficulty including Casual, and in solo or co-op.

    Warning: Make sure you are personally set to Insane or you will not get this achievement. A friend can join and play on Casual to help you get it easier (let them do all the work) but only you on Insane will get the achievement. Your friend on Casual will not. Also, if at any time you play in single player on Casual (to boost kills for Serioiusly 2.0 or look for collectbiles) be sure to double-check your difficulty when going back to your co-op game. It may have set itself to Casual and you won't get credit for any work you're doing toward this achievement. If the game seems easy when playing on Insane, you might not be on Insane!

  • MY PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT EVER!!!!!!
  • wow thats lame
  • I got this achievement with my friend when he got this game.
  • this achievement wasn't that hard to obtain...
  • Co-op it!
  • Easy way to get this achievement. Go on Co-op, player hwo hasent got achievement pick Insane, while the partner picks casual difficulty. Insane difficulty player must be careful while the casual player does most work. The reason for this is because you can die very easily on insane difficulty while on casual you can take more abuse. Play through whole campaign like this and youll get achievement.
  • What about the reaver level?? That's still hard for the Insane difficulty player right?
  • anyone wana get all insane and co-op achievements then add me and ill play. my gamer tag is x S a M M o I . message me n let me know and ill be on to play
  • This game isn't hard I did most of the acts on Insane in solo I only played like 2-3 parts on co-op insane and I just did it with an extra controller. Real fun campaign to better than the first games campaign.
  • Yeah the Reaver part was one the parts I needed help on, the other two were the part with killing the Riftworms hearts' because of the flooding of blood and the last part was the part with the Razor hail and all the locust in that level. Gears of War 3 will be an awesome campaign whoo!! Badass!!! 4 player campaign, shared ammo, sticking grenades on the enemy and kicking them away!!!

  • when you get this achievement do you get the other one for completing the game on normal and hard or do you have to beat the game on normal or hard to get them achievements
  • @ oneskillshot86 if you complete it on insane you also got the rest of the difficulties too. As the game recognises that your good enough to compelete insane so no need to complete it at a lower level.

  • Right i need this and i am willing to help someone else get this too :) we can either both go through it on insane together or, one of us goes on casual and storms through it for the other person. if we do it the 2nd way we will have to go through it twice though :D

  • need help plz gt: FR4GM4STER
  • I need help with this one Please gt: Sp1Tt1n 1 3y3
  • Easiest way to do this is too co-op it and have your difficulty on insane and your friend go on casual and let them do the work. Then you can do the same for them.(unless no-one wants to just use a second controller and do the campaign as 2nd player on casual and have yourself on insane. Hope this helps.
  • looking for some players to help with this achievement. add me if u want to play
  • @70 So, the player who is playing on Casual won't get the achievement?
  • @72 Unfortunately no they wont, but you can do the campaign again and you can swap so difficulty other player will get the achievement also. You may have to do the campaign twice, but its much easier.

  • Hey guys, i am redoing the campaign in co-op and i think i am in trouble as its just me and an afk controller. I am about up to the bit when you are inside the Riftworm and you find that Carmine is dead (NOOOOOOO). The next bit after that is when you have to escape the rolling ball before it squishes you. Is this a problem in co-op and have other people who have used a afk controller found this a problem? As i think that the ball will squish the afk contoller before you can get to saftey.Is so can you please reply back.
  • haha i did that the same way and it was a pain
  • achivement was pretty tough,not as bad as Gears 1 though

  • i need to get the co-op, insane, and horde achievements... gamertag is acidiccochise..
  • @ 35 No. You have to beat the game on Hardcore to unlock Insane difficulty. Beating the game on Hardcore also unlocks the ''Casual'' and ''Normal'' achivements. I only needed help with the Reaver part on lvl 2 then my co op partner always wanted to play stupid NBA 2011 all the time. Then My membership ended after 3 months at the time then I started playing the game solo and beat it on insane. Got the achivement offline as proof. Overall frustrating at parts but no were near as bad as Gears 1 on insane cause you get seperated from Dom more times then in Gears 2. So if one of you died or were downed you were screwed in Gears 1. Overall I had more Stress and pissed off ness on ''Duke Incarnate'' in Duke Nukem:Forever LOL. That game was just UNFAIR. But proud I got that achivement in the end.
