Hi you guys, I was wondering about this challenge to save up 2000 gears! I have like 600 now and I really want to spend them but I'm afraid I'll have to start all over with the savings. Does it count all gears I've achieved (even if I've spent some) or do I have to have 2000 gears on me? Sincerely Difuz
You have to save them up. Even if you have earned thousands of gears over your time of playing, but you spent them all and only have lets say 200 gears, you won't get the achievement. You have to have 2000 gears in stock per say for it to count.
I'd recommend going for 1000 gears (fat stacks) and then buying all of the weapons. The 500xp reward from the 2500 gear challenge isn't too good, and you'll get that many gears from playing normally after buying all the weapons lol. It's also more efficient to unlock weapons first, 'cause then you can get them upgraded faster.
