As I actually get these achievements, I’ll update here if any changes need to be made.
Building an Army - Registered characters in all preset team slots. When you’re in the lobby, press the menu button, select Customize Battle/Battle Options, Register Team, Team 1, and then set a character for each slot. Then do the same for Teams 2 and 3. Source.

Don’t even get me started - Ruiner - Finish Prologue. Pretty self explanatory, just go through the prologue at the beginning of the game. Source. Note, if done on PC this will double count for the Play a game on PC and earn points quest.
Gotta get pumped! - Ruiner - Do 1003 pushups. This is potentially annoying, but requires very little effort. To do a pushup, you just hold up on the D-pad, or X if you’re doing this on PC. The hard part of this achievement is that you have to do them all in one go. To do 1003 pushups, you’re gonna need to hold that button down for around 16-17 minutes. You could try taping or weighting the button down to make it easier. Also make sure your controller doesn’t fall asleep by periodically moving the right stick. Source. Note, if done on PC this will double count for the Play a game on PC and earn points quest.

This quest is active October 18-27. The current list of games available for this seems to be a combination of the games for the Play new games and earn points quest and some of the games from September’s Earn 10,000 points in 10 days quest. I’m hoping Microsoft will be adding to this list of games by the time the quest actually goes live. Here is the current list:

Metal Gear Solid HD Edition: 2 & 3
Creature in the Well
Gonner - Blueberry Edition
Devil May Cry 5
Stellaris: Console Edition
