Dodge a lot by using doors or Yellow power. Wait till you see a blue target when it's gonna smash you. Turn to Blue and make ice-block. Then change into Red and BURNNNNNN. Do it for 3 or 4 times and it's dead (for now).

Just try not to die

thank you very much!

The game is programmed that you can get each medal only once, that means after you got it ingame it refuses to send it to Newgrounds a second time. I also found no way to resend them and clearing the cache or sol files doesn't help either since it seems to be bound to your Newgrounds account. I'm starting to get sick of the Newgrounds medals. Shit like this doesn't happen on Kongregate.

Same problem here, I got the facebook medal, and it didn't register, now I can't get it again. Also, at level 13, the game just fucked up and started glitching and restarted my save data, and I don't have the nerves to play through it again.

My game says that i have the 25 deaths and level 9 time trial medals, even though i have died more than 40 times and still no medal. I believe that the level 9 time trial medal won't register too. My game glitched and restarted my data twice, thats when the medals glitched.

I have a very similar problem. Medals glitched and the game refuses to re-send them. I've PM-ed the authors, might be resolved soon, I hope....

On a side note, am I the only one thinking that the ridiculously long "game saving" time is a sly way to make us stare at the ads for a longer time?

So you got a gold on boss run? How did you do it?

Indeed. I want to know this as well.

Yeah. Still the same advice I gave earlier in the thread:

Anyone else figured how to get gold on boss run yet?

You can't get hit, and I think time and what not is still a factor but that doesn't matter since the longer the battle goes on the more likely you are to get hit. I used homing rockets so I don't need to pay attention to anything but dodging and then when I got it a tight spot I used the time control device 2.0; also make sure you have the spider legs.

if you want you can also try a damage dealing shoulder weapon to make the bosses die faster; that's just how I did it.

The key factor is if a single bullet hits you, then you automatically get only 2 stars. I know this for a fact since this happened to me a few times that I got hit only a couple times.

This is incorrect, as I got the gold medal and got hit quite a few times. I just completed it incredibly fast.

I got hit once and got a bronze. I got hit 35 times and got a silver.

In your case, what weapons did you use? Which combination of weapons will give the highest dps?

I had a similar experience.
Only got hit once, was using nukes and missiles, still got a bronze.

And yet I somehow managed to get a silver earlier. \(o_O)/

well then I guess it's only a coincidence that I got gold when I beat it without getting hit. I have no idea what they score it on now...

I just got the gold medal!!!

I equipped really weak equips and killed them very slowly, getting hit tons of times.

I guess you're supposed to do it slowly?

Whaaaaaaaaaat? That doesn't even make sense!

Yeah thats the biggest bullshit i've ever heard... Get hits lot / do it slowly is usually the opposite of how to do best on a level?

Has anybody pmed the author and ask how he programmed it? Like what the gold medal characteristics are?

Well here's a screenshot, check ma low HP and ma weak gear.

Maybe it has something to do with how many kills you get?
I shot down a LOT of the final bosses missiles.

I believe you've cracked it. It IS the number of boss missiles. No wonder I didn't even get a bronze when I had a perfect run, cuz I didn't hit any!

Indeed, this is it. I just got gold because I destroyed a ton of missiles.

Alright folks. Now that boss run is settled, how do you get gold for destroy 5? Specifically, what weapon set did you use? Is it dependent on time/hits taken/other things?

I have destroy 5 and survival left (which I assume is to reach wave 30 to get gold?)

Fast legs, skip past everything except the bosses. Before my game data got reset I had gold for time in all 4 missions I'd finished because I just ran to the end and only killed the boss (and miniboss where appropriate).

Also, I've had absolutely no problems with Primary, including having taken my .sol file from one computer to another to get the level 25 time trial medal.

What are the secure missions based on (in mechanical commando 2 then)? I can't even get better than a mere silver on secure 3. Time doesn't seem to be the most important factor as I got a bronze for completing it in less than a minute whereas I got a silver for completing it in around 1 minute and 10 seconds. There was no other significant difference between the playthroughs. Also what weapon setup did you use for it?

I believe it IS time. I used homing missle/clusters and the cooldown device, and completed with about 1:20 left on the timer.

I wonder if anyone would share tips for destroy 5 and survival?

No way. I've got a silver for 1:05 left and now I had 1:17 left and got a bronze. Gah, why can't the author just say that you need to get a time beneath this and also do this to get a gold? So much easier.

I don't know, man. The only ones I have trouble with are destroy 5 (tips anyone?), survival and boss run (now completed). Never had problems with secure. Maybe try taking less hits?

I got to wave 32 on survival by using a very slow computer.
I don't think it's possible at full speed.

I must've burned through that mission at least fifty times getting only a silver, and just now got a gold, and to be honest, I have no idea what-so-ever as to why I was given it this time. I did experiment a little, though, so here's what I found out.
- Burning through at full speed ignoring all else drops you from a silver to a bronze. Kills count. Kill everything.
- If you kill all enemies, and then allow the spawn buildings to generate more for killing, you can drop right down to no medals at all. Time counts. Be quick.
- My best guess is that the only other factor is the number of hits on you. I started being more cautious on my later runs and took slightly more time, and I finally got the gold.

I recommend equipping the fastest legs, the auto-cannon, the hellfire (or the shield, if you don't feel confident dodging), and the cooldown reducer. You'll want a route that takes you through the buildings quickly and directly. I recommend, from the start, heading straight down. Take out the three buildings in front of you, and strafe a bit to the left as you go, hitting the one building that comes out pretty far from the left side. Then, just make a straight line to the bottom-left corner of the screen. Then just follow the edge of the screen counter-clockwise, taking out everything as you go. Be careful, there are a couple buildings in the the top-left corner that come out a bit towards the center, so get a feel for those ones. Once you're comfortable with the route, you should be able to move along with little backwards movement. Just keep running.

My biggest recommendation is to just keep doing it over and over and over, and sooner or later, if the monotony gods decide to smile upon you, you'll get the gold.

Hope that helps a little.

I'm stuck on Destroy 4, Destroy 5, and speedrun for Goliant 4 / level 5.
