I am trying to get the "Combat Engineer" ribbon in Horde 2.0 mode of Gears of War 3. The gears wiki says
Combat Engineer: Build, repair, and or upgrade 5 fortifications during wave-half time.
I am playing gears by myself and have purchased 5 different items in between waves numerous time but I never seem to get this ribbon (I have received it once but don't remember when). Does it only count if I buy barriers? Or can I buy decoys and turrets as well? Do I have to be playing co-op with someone else or can I get the ribbon while playing by myself? Does it matter which map I use? Just general help on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.

Rules:
You cannot get the ribbon while playing alone. There must be other people playing with you. Plugging in a second controller might help, haven't tried it.
You can only get the ribbon once per spawn or once you fail a wave. So, if you have gotten one ribbon, there is no second ribbon in the same life. So , if you are only after the ribbon, just die, or restart manually after getting the ribbon, repeat until 100, which will give you the Infinite Ammo Mutator.
Which map you play does not matter.
