    NOTE: you must be connected to live to do this.

    Step one: Back out to the "Press start" screen/Reboot xbox

    step two: Setup a LOCAL match with these settings:

    Private
    Warzone
    2 minutes
    Bots: fill
    Difficulty: Insane
    Bleedout: 60 seconds

    step three: Watch that war supporter count grow.

    YOU WILL NOT SEE THE RIBBON APPEAR AT THE END OF THE MATCH, ONLY MEDAL PROGRESS AT CERTAIN INCREMENTS. YOU CAN BACK OUT TO YOUR STATS TO SEE IF IT IS WORKING AND THEN START BACK UP THE SAME PRIVATE MATCH AGAIN.

    It doesn't matter if you played in the event playlist or not. If it doesn't work at first make sure you back out to the Press start screen.

    I am working on uploading a video right now showing me playing and not gaining credit towards war supporter and then doing the glitch and earning credit. Done it 3 times today. If you earn the ribbon already you won't gain credit unless you back out to the press start screen.

    I've done it now 3 times.Once you "earn" the ribbon (it pops up) it'll stop counting. I've "earned" three times now and can get it to reset and start gaining it everytime.

    Sane thing happens to me when I start a new private match every time , but just saying that it might not work for some for whatever reason

    Well, I've officially onyxed it. you don't need to have bots on fill. I am boosting my KOTH with a spare controller and 1 bot on my team to end the matches quickly and I am still gaining credit towards my second onyx.

    PS: Video is being uploaded to youtube right now. Had some issues getting it off my camera. Should be ready in about 20 minutes.
