Since this is probably intended, I'm not going to log a bug for it, but still: look at the list above. Earning Speedrunner Bronze through Gold in one run seems fair to me. Earning both Icarus and Compet-n medals in the same run is technically exactly to be expected, yet it's impossible to earn more than one UAC Star. Why?

The way it's supposed to work is:
If it's a badge, the game will only keep track of the first time you earn it, obviously.

If it's a medal, the game will always keep track of the first time you earn it, and then also every subsequent time you earn them UNLESS you also got a medal that is strictly better (such as getting a compet-n platinum making you ineligible for a compet-n gold)

I just did a 7 minute run of ITYTD and confirmed this. This must've been your first speedrun, like the speedrun bronze medal suggests.

It wasn't my run, but that's beside the point. But that would mean that if I reset my stats and play my very first run with a 100+ kill streak, I'd get all 3 UAC stars (and only on the very first run)?

Yes. Doesn't have to be the very first though, just so long as you've never managed to get 25+ kills without taking damage in any of your recorded runs.

That would explain why I only ever see this on mortems for speedruns; it's pretty common to try and grab a UAC star, but most players are usually done speedrunning after the first successful attempt (as long as there are no other achievements to be earned). Thanks for your help.
