    Really annoying that I have everything but this achievement unlocked, and it looks like I'm not the only one in that boat. I'd love to know what the one person who has it unlocked did.

    Coalition really dropped the ball between this & Gears 5 launching with buggy achievements as well

    Can you tell me how you farmed your legendary weapon mods? I am only getting helmets somehow for about 20 boxes in a row. Need still all items for Sid.

    Whats worse is all that grinding for legendary weapon mods and you cannot even use them on a new playthrough... this game cries out for an NG+ mode tbh... its such a waste those upgrades can't be put to use once you spend hours grinding for them.

    I am new to this genre so playing on Beginner albeit with ironman on to give that slight challenge and I still find myself making mistakes but scraping through due to the lower difficulty. Currently on Act 2 chapter 4 and am taking it slow.

    Seeing you guys just rush through the game to get all achievements done in a matter of 3 days will have many wondering what kind of replay value this game has.

    Yea that was by far the most annoying part of the game. One thing to note is that the main veteran mission is ALWAYS legendary ARMOR while the side missions only have a chance to be a secondary objective giving you legendary weapon mod. I think I hit 70 veteran missions before I finally unlocked the achievement.

    Basically any duplicates/unnecessary weapon mods (you don't need any for Cole/heavy class) I would delete from the inventory. I think the game has a cap on how many legendary weapon mods it gives out because as soon as I started deleting them, I would actually side get missions that would give a legendary mod.

    To be honest the game is really quite repetitive from the start, there's basically the 3 boss fights, and 4 types of missions; Rescue the 2 people, run from the bombardment, control the points and kill all enemies. I don't know how you can vary it though, that's just the genre. I've played a shit ton of XCOM and cRPG style of games so game wasn't too bad on insane.

    I have got the parts now. I had like 130 vet missions without any parts for Sid. Then I tried something else and got it pretty quick. Noticed something for my kills too. So I think my last 4400 kills will take about 1,5 hours. I haven't equipped the last weapon part yet. I want to know if this makes the difference. The other guy doesn't have all weapon parts yet.

    My understanding is that each component of the Lancer, Retro Lancer, Longshot, Mulcher, Shotgun require Legendary tier parts for the achievement.

    I see your point but having to grind like what DrizzT1987 said to get Legendary mods which actually dont get put to use in the way we would want to is kinda sad. The grind for so many hours just for the achievement seems kinda lame. I wish the gear reward system was designed better.

    No. You only need weapon mods for the heroes. Only lancer, longshot, retro lancer and gnasher. Mulcher is not needed because there is no hero with it. Only regular recruit. From my understanding.... I will see in a couple of minutes. Had to eat dinner and have 1300 kills left. Then I will equip my last mod. But there seems to be a kills cap per time. With my method I have to take a short break every 1000 kills because any further kills don't count.

    Damn lucky you, hopefully Coalition fixes the stupid achievement bugging

    Did you use different save slots? I am not sure if I made the right decision by farming kills before equipping last weapon part. But I know ghostface had different slots. I just had one slot.

    I did have 2 slots for insane/ironman. Who knows, just want it to unlock :(

    So I am now stuck at 960/1000 achievements for this game, "Seriously Tactical" did unlock, but "...dary!" bugged out. Was hoping to get in first 5 1000/1000GS for this game.

    Shows achievement as 100% complete progress, but still locked. I even reinstalled game completely, all 30GB. Didn't help.

    Hopefully it's gonna pop, but I don't hold my breath. This achievement is RNG bullshit anyway, I was hunting for the last Legendary mod last 2 days, even done 10k kills before finishing it. And now this bullshit.

    For info, had 2 slots:

    1. My Ironman playthrough, haven't touched it after I was done with it
    2. Slot for misc achievements and legendary farm.

    It seems to me that it is the multiple slots that is causing the issues. Just my guess though. I have 4 in total due to my game being stuck at the boss fight multiple times on ironman. Then played on easy for misc achievements.

    wtf! I just played another mission on an older save and Seriously unlocked! I dont know if giving TC my gamertag had anything to do with it, but they did ask me on twitter.

    My "...dary!" Achievement just popped, almost 4 hours after it originally should have. This one might been on the XBL and not specifically on the game I guess, since it was displayed at 100% before without actually unlocking. So I am finally at 1000/1000GS.

    It will irritate me a bit, that "...dary!" popped after "Seriously Tactical", but I guess I should be happy it popped at all.

    Congrats to SoyHakko, DrizzT, Ghostface and Derp for getting seriously... nice work guys...

    I will be using 2 save slots so my plan is to use my current slot (Beginner + Ironman) to finish the campaign and grind for all legendary mods. Once all that is done, save slot 2 will be for insane campaign without ironman to get the rest and hopefully unlock seriously.

    If there is any tips/tricks to follow and mistakes to avoid triggering any glitch, please provide your inputs.

    Haha I started a new save and after the tutorial/first mission it unlocked for me. So stupid but glad it did

    I’m pretty sure that I already tried to complete more missions on older saves before but it didn’t work. I decided to try again earlier today and it worked this time. My guess is that this has been somewhat patched server-side, as I’m quite sure that I’ve tried this before and it didn’t work. Otherwise, it’s just a very buggy and unpredictable achievement.

    Had like 3 saves

    1 for insane
    2. for beginner ironman
    3. some other one can't remember

    Last achievement I needed was 10k kills; got it and no seriously.
    Started a new game/save file on beginner; skipped the tutorial and another mission no achievement
    went back on my insane save and I did another veteran mission and it unlocked afterwards.
    Everything will be fine in the End... If it's not fine... Then it's not the End...
