Hero complete for a while now I don't care about dark matter and instead use black market camos I like and or get gold for guns I use.

 

For those of you going after hero armor Nuketown - Hardpoint is far and above the best map/gamemode combination for hero armor the combination of the map and game type allow for maximum point accrual and opportunity to earn as many specialist abilities/weapons as possible in a single game which is essential when going after those "kill 6 in a game" hero challenges.

im quite proud of the fact that almost all mine was done in tdm :) 6 in a game 6 times with spikes takes a combo of skill luck and right place right time oh and moron enemies that bunch up is a bonus too lol

I've done all the hero armour.

Diamond Assault rifles, SMGs, shotguns.

Gold knife, gold brass knuckles.

Snipers are way off and LMGs are getting there slowly.

Pistols are going to be fun.

I doubt I will earn either, however I have earned Diamond on AR, SMG, Launchers and well on my way to Gold with the BRM.  I don't think I would ever get the snipers or pistols. 

 

As far as Hero gear I have been working at getting all the "skills" first although I have a few of the weapons completed as well.  I usually pick on when I am working on my weapons like at the moment almost finished Combat Vision and have done both for fire guy; senior moment can't remember all those names!  :angry:

getting hero is alot easier than dark matter and once you done challenges to unlock the hero challenges you can get gold on the ones you want unlike dark matter where u have to complete everything to get it, the 2 semi auto snipers are a right pita to get bloodthirsties on but other 2 are easy , pistol headshots and long shots are much easier in hardcore, knife is also a nightmare :(, rest is easy if time consuming

I found the knife really easy actually, did it in a weekend, last bloodthirsty had me swearing plenty though.

In case anyone doesn't know, you don't actually have to get the bloodthirsty medal with just the knife - you can get 3 knife kills, a gun kill, a knife, a trip mine and then another knife kill... As long as you get five knife kills with one life then it will still count.

 

But yeh, the semi-auto snipers are going to piss me off and the pistols have already pissed me right off. And I'm a L-O-N-G way off of them at the moment

yea TDM with the spikes would take some time unless you got really lucky

 

It took me ages in tdm, got one by luck before I even knew what the hero challenge was.

The next three were torture! People kept killing my targets as I was dropping the spikes.

Last two I did by small map rushing and dumb luck two games in a row.

 

Vision pulse double kills was horrible for me for some reason.

all gold armour challenges done apart from glitch and rejack :( tips anyone?

 

If you're still doing these...

 

This works especially well for the double kills for anyone that needs them and just racking them up in general (without dying too much).

Obviously run that perk that earns your Specialist faster, use UAV and Counter for the bonus points (I think they push your specialist meter with assists too but not sure?)

 

These are the quick and dirty methods I used anyway.

Use C4, chuck it through a sniper's window where there a frequently two snipers (think Infection, Fringe, etc), Glitch instantly and trigger C4 don't wait for the beep to confirm proximity and starting running...

That's often two, hopefully you run into and kill a third (and fourth if you're really lucky). Then you only need to get one using the same method in the remaining half of the game. If you hit a double really early in the game then it's so much easier.

And try C4/Semtex on Combine, throw it up to either of those high ledges that look across from one another, anywhere that idiots bunch up and get stuck together, Glitch before it blows and start running, spraying and praying. Again you often get doubles + a gun kill. The high room above the middle on Aquarium got me a few doubles too.

 

Rejack takes a bit more skill (luck) because you're not quite at full health and people will kill your targets. And it's dirty.

 

If you wait OUT OF SIGHT near a high traffic or sniper spot (outside the back of the barn window, on the roof, on Fringe for example), there will often be two snipers in there... Blow yourself up with your C4 outside, Rejack, jump through the window and shoot the two snipers in the arse. Rinse and repeat.

Also works on Combine in loads of places because people bunch up everywhere on that - but you're also more likely to get shot from somewhere else on Combine.

 

I did Rejack in about an hour. If you're controlling when you die and the enemies don't know you're there then it's pretty easy to get the drop on them.

Vision pulse doubles don't work properly that's why it's so hard, to get it you need to get x2 for the medal but if you kill someone then someone ejse instantly afterwards it don't always work because u can get another medal in between ie you kill a guy with a jump shot then another right after so you get vision medal jump shot medal then other vision medal so because the jump shot medal is in between it don't count as double and any medal can break it up avenger, kingslayer , bloodthirsty, revenge, jump shot etc they are all easy medals that can fuck up your doubles and that's why it's so hard to do that challenge

Ye still need them but not doing them much but I have discovered that on nuke town you can glitch as soon as you earn it and u will nearly always find someone to kill as maps so small so I try to swap to glitch when the map comes up and for reach I do plsn to use the kill myself method I'm just not really trying that hard to either of those 2 but will have to soon as I'm working on the master calling card for abilities

Good point, I did mine before we were gifted Nuketown (if I'd known, I'd have waited and saved myself that epic stress!)

I am way off  :angry:

 

Got to do all three pistols, not from scratch but enough to cause a tear in my eye.

Three snipers to do - sobbing now.

Both rocket launcher doo-dahs - waaaaah!

I didn't actually know about Dark Matter until this week though so I haven't been making much effort to get there

It was a horrible challenge. I won't live as long as I should have done because of the distress it caused.

I really hated the Firebreak ability double kill too, little pricks kept nicking my kills.

 

Actually I think I hated pretty much all of the 'ability' double kill challenges.
