Master Strategist how many medals needed?

[Skolem]

Hi all,



I am wondering how many gold medals I need in order to get the Master Strategist achievement. From my personal stats page I can see:



Gold Medals Earned 76

Silver Medals Earned 77

Bronze Medals Earned 78



which might be a hint that I am actually missing 2 gold medals. However, checking all story and story challenge scores I have gold medals on each mission. I doublechecked by comparing my highscore (retrieved from server!) against the required score.



So my questions are:

1) are only story and story challenge levels relevant, or how many gold medals are needed?

2) is there any way I can find out which level I am missing? Is there any detailed list?





All help is appreciated :-)



Best regards,

Skolem

Hi,

Sorry about the confusion on Master Strategist. I was also confused until I talked more in-depth with the team.

Ok, here is how Master Strategist is supposed to work (and to our knowledge does work).

Master Strategist requires that you have a gold medal on every possible map and mode in the DG: Awakening campaign and that is it. What you do in DG: Borderlands or in the upcoming DG: Resurgence does not affect the Master Strategist achievement.

There is a twist though, as some of you have found out. As part of our "DG: Borderlands" update that was included in the original Xbox release and was recently added to the PC release, we not only gave you the Borderlands maps and modesThat's where the confusion now comes in. The acheivement previously could be awarded on the PC by getting gold on the modes that were available then which were fewer in number prior to the update. If you received the achievement prior to the update, it doesn't go away.



But, if you are still working on that achievement there are now more modes to get gold on in the Awakening campaign on PC in order to get it. On the Xbox, it remains the same as it was and the PC is now the same as on the Xbox in what it takes to get the Master Strategist achievement.



There are no plans to update the Awakening campaign any more so don't worry, DG: Resurgence won't make it even harder to get.



I hope that clears things up.

, but we also stealthly upgraded the Awakening to have more modes than it had before.

In the bottom right hand corner the game will highlight in yellow if you have a gold for whatever board your playing. Just check all the boards and see. Good luck!

PS. If you are intersted in which scores are real #1 scores that are not cheated you can check my thread on the steam forum called real #1 scores in the awakening

Hi Salmusco, thanks for pointing that out (first replay). I had a look at the forum previously but missed that one. So I actually need all the "poison core", "grinder", "reverse story" etc on gold level in order to get that.

I see... makes it a bit more challenging, at least more time consuming, but ok


So again, thanks for the info!
