This is my first time to achieve Shambler's head. Ammochain build + minigun/hyperblaster is really cool!!

Once entered Hell's Armory, wiping out there was really easy;
just fire to the right side with minigun then everything is pwned :D
After no damage clear of Hell's Armory, (fortunately, Deimos Lab was not generated. Phew! If I faced 2 shamblers, I couldn't manage it)
I got nano pack + onyx pack as rewards so decided to learn whizkid 2.

After entering Hell 2 (as I remember) I assembled my red armor+P+O,
and during clearing the mortuary, I got whizkid 2 and assembled cybernano red armor.
After getting cybernano red amor + hyperblaster + ammochain, I could steamroll everything remaining there.

I found thermonuclear bomb once but at that moment I had to carry nano+onyx pack so I couldn't pick it up.
After clearing Mt.Erebus, I want to encounter the tmc bomb in Hell 7,
but it did not appeared... so I just directly killed SMM :(

And now only 3 gold badges are remaining there!








What I felt from obtaining each golden badges so far:


Technician (Find all basic assemblies) : easy. just clear Hell's Armory and read schematics over and over.

Heroic (24 medals) : almost auto-achieved during other golden badges

Gatekeeper (kill cybie on HNTR + no damage) : with HR2 + tactical boots, an easy task

UAC (win standard game on UV) : after a few tries I made it.
Fortunately I got thermonuclear bomb there so I could make a full win to get Veteran Platinum :D

Veteran (win UV + 100% kills) : done with UAC


Strongman (win standard game using knives/fists on HMP) : ARGURABLY THE HARDEST ONE, among gold, at least for me.
at the first play I tried Malicious Knives trait, but I could never reach level 7 without berserk.
I gave up going with Malicious Knives trait, and changed my plan to get Vampyre trait.
This badge took 15+ tries.. damn, chainsword is too weak! Armor collapses so fast!


Speedrunner (win standard HMP under 20min) : after several tries, it was not that hard.
I think melee tree is must, to do kinda speedrunning things.

Reaper/Longinus/Scavenger (clear mortuary/limbo, unholy cathedral, vaults) : easy, on HNTR.

Berserker (Angel of Berserk on HMP) : far easier than strongman gold. once get chainsaw -> longinus spear, remaining part is easy


Marskman (Angel of Marksmanship on UV) : SECOND HARDEST ONE. Pistol is silly weapon even with Gun Kata.
Of course if we got unique pistols in early stages, things become easier, but it is too rare.
The most frustrating part is to manage radar shoot. It was so hard to guess where is enemy there without intuition.
Moreover, ammo consuming rate on later parts was so fast than I expected.
I couldn't understand why this is the requirement for golden badge, not for platinum.


Shottyman (Angel of Shotgunnery on UV) : not hard. shotgun is very very handy weapon :)

Inquistor (Angel of Purity) : not that hard on HNTR.

Quartermaster (Angel of Red Alert + 100% kills) : it took several tries, even on HNTR.
maintaining "running" status on almost every moment is must. I had to melt small medpacks at full health in many occasions.

Destroyer (Angel of Max Carnage + Untouchable Badge) : Intuition 2 + Tactical shotgun rules! easy one.

Masochist (Angel of Masochism) : on HNTR, early part was easy, since LvUp healing effect to 200% was sufficient enough.
I was planned to level up at Deimos 7 to face cyberdemon with 200% health, but I made some mistake,
so I met cybie with 85% health + 93% exp :( Holy shit! I almost got killed there but barely survived.

Centurial (Angel of 100) : easy on HNTR.

Daredevil (Angel of Overconfidence) : easy on HNTR

Pacifist (Angel of Pacifism under 10min) : kinda luck-based. It took many tries to lucky enough to face levels with nearly stairs.

Arena (Clear Hell's Arena on Angel of Marksmanship on UV) : last two barons were tough.. not hard


Everyman (Angel of Humanity) : another VERY VERY HARD one, even on HNTR.
Damn, I got insta-killed four times!
At first time, after opening a door, there is a sergeant and napalm barrel just in front of me. That son of bitch shot to barrel near me.
At second time, I checked that even with red armor+P, arachnotron is enough to blow 10 HP in one shot.
At third time, I checked that, you never allow archvile to face you in AoHu. Is there any way to survive archvile attack without dodging?
At fourth time, during the fight with SMM, i was continuing to press f + click violet 'X' mark (from intuition 2),
but that f**king mouse pressed that mark too long, so my doomguy just walked along to that 'X' mark, and SMM instakilled me.
(after there I never click 'X' mark directly. I began to just press 'f' key once more)

Angel of Humanity is probably most difficult and frustrating challenge I think.
I saw on wiki that requirements for some badges/medals (such as Spider Killer Cross, Everyman Diamond)
includes clearing spider's lair on AoHu, clearing AoHu on UV as conqueror.
Whoa! Clearing this freaking challenge on UV as conqueror? what a crazy person.





Anyhow, the remaining golden badges are Hunter (Angel of Darkness with 80%+ kills), Eagerness (Angel of Impatience on HMP),
Armorer (find all exotic/unique).

Main obstacle is armorer.. I guess that I must grind on Ao666 to find those DS/BA things!

If I get all golden badges then I'll post it later!

[singalen]

That's some systematic approach. Respect for that, you're farther than I am - I just play randomly.
Marskman is one of the few gold badges I do have.
Do you giftdrop?

[papilio]

What do you mean "giftdrop"? Anyhow, I prefer to conquer every achievement when I play this kinds of games.

[Tormuse]

What's so interesting, TheLaptop?  :)

Speaking for myself, I've never been particularly systematic in my approach to selecting what type of game to play; I kind of played randomly up until I got my first Diamond badge, kind of by accident, and then pretty exclusively just tried to get Diamond badges from then on.  Even during my hunt for Diamonds, though, I just play for whichever one I feel like at the moment.

As for giftdropping, it means taking advantage of the fact that all the Formers and also Knights and Barons tend to seek out medkits, armour, and phase devices.  If you drop a medkit in a doorway, for example, and then hide around the corner, they'll head toward the medkit and you can shoot them before they even see you.  It's a helpful tactic for avoiding taking damage.
