How to unlock the Hardcore Gamer achievement in Agents of Mayhem - Definitive Guide

FIXED and confirmed

Mission Replay will work as of Nov.09.17:

http://www.deepsilver.com/us/new-patch-released/

You must finish all the main Story Ops on level 7 or higher: Heaven Sent, Star Power, Machine Man, Red Queen, Madhouse and Damocles.

***Remember to check your difficulty setting when leaving the Ark.***

Be careful if you should die too many times while on a mission, the game may lower the difficulty without notice. Gremlin Tech Mulligan will help keep you going by reviving your Agents. Have plenty of those on hand.

There have been comments regarding replaying every chapter via Mission Replay for this to pop. It may be a requirement for some. Please keep this in mind.

Just find this when the next patch will be.

Sep 7 @ 3:07pm
Just a quick update on the next patch. I don't have final confirmation on the date to share yet, but it's looking like the first large bugfix patch will hit early next week.

The patch did not seem to change anything obvious in the mission replay menu. The missing missions only available in the fresh playthrough did not show up for me.

For those that completed the game already, has anyone else had any luck with this achievement in mission replay?

Wait a second, so I had to fucking start the game with level 1 chars ar difficulty 7 in order to get this? Or is it just the three agent unlock missions that can't be done higher?

You can't get the achievement unless you do a fresh run through without dying so you always stay on difficulty-7, Update did'nt fix anything achievement wise although the shards are easier to find now as they appear on your map.

Well that's what's confusing. The devs wanted us to start the game at Dififculty-7 with 3 Level 1 characters? Or is it only the three character unlock missions that are locked via replay?

Apparently its only the main missions you have to do on Difficulty-7, i can't confirm it for you because i don't want to delete my save to start all over again for one achievement, i'm just hoping the next update fixes it. (There's plenty of us complaining over mission select missions not counting for the achievement/trophy)

It kind of sucks that you need to do this in one playthrough or it's missable, and I feel like Volition never intended to be this was based on previous Saints Row games, so I hope they fix it soon because I'm definitely not playing through the game again. Kind of disappointed as I feel they took a step back with this game deviating from the Saints Row series.

Im almost about to do the same as you Serious X Devil, im too scared though haha. Although I cant see a patch coming out soon seeing as how they just recently fired 30 of their staff cause the game under-performed.

I had the same mindset as you VoicelessMidget... i can't see another patch coming out but hey at least they've got time to try and charge us for useless skins! I got the achievement after deleting my save which i didn't want to lose but at least the game is finished for me now and hopefully for good as i don't see story DLC add-ons coming out. (Please let me be right).

As of 10/12, on their Twitter, they confirm that they are working on a fix for this that will be patched next release. They have a pretty damn good PR team, so I'm hoping this is sooner rather than later.

I hope they do patch it for you guys, i really do.
It was torturous going through it a second time (mission select) and then a third time checking my difficulty every so often because the game changes it on its own, slightly annoying tbh.

I’d also like to point out that I unlocked this when I beat the game and I know I didn’t do the first missions on Level 7. So maybe they changed something or I got lucky.

Originally I played every mission at 7+ usually far higher for XP etc. and didn't get it. Had to play all of the main ones again today via replay to get this . Took about 3-4 hours.

My advice would be do the the 1st one from heaven sent and then do fall of babylon if it doesn't unlock. Had I been thinking I might have done that myself :S

I was 100% sure the only Operations I didn't played on +7 were the 3 missions from Heaven Sent and maybe the first one from Star Power.
I've tried what Calex said about playing Fall of Babylon after Heaven, but didn't worked. I had to play all the operations again to unlock the achievement.

Would you recommend playing all main missions on 7 right from the beginning if I'm just starting off, or should I do 2 playthroughs?
0
0
By The SCHWARTZ 00 on 30 Nov 2017 14:04
do it from the beginning the agents i recommend to level up are Fortune and Hardtack. (Hardtack plays as a tank, i hardly ever died as him) and fortune is a good shield breaker.

It will be hard playing straight on 7 when you first start off but when you level up your agents it gets to the point where you will not notice the difficulty being hard anymore.

Just don't die and keep checking your difficulty (even if you don't die) as the game can change the difficulty without letting you know.

I can confirm that it mission replay indeed works as of today. If you have a good team of lvl 40's then it should be a cakewalk on difficulty 8. It took me a few hours from start to finish, but i did it fairly easily. Just watch with skipping cut scenes. My game had some glitch out issues and doors to proceed through the mission just wouldn't open. Other than that, no issues. Also i did only the main story missions and it worked

I know it's been said before, but ALWAYS check your difficulty after starting a mission. The game has a nasty habit of changing the difficulty on its own without warning. You could leave the Ark at level 7 difficulty, and inexplicably have it switched to 6, or even 13 once the mission starts.

By The SCHWARTZ 00 on 17 Dec 2017 08:04
Yeah its really bad for that, did it to me a couple of times its always best to check every time you start a new mission or when you leave the ARK. ^

I played every mission on 7+ apart from the 3 Hammersmith missions and it popped for me after I replayed the 3 of them. I did not have to repeat the last mission, " Fire Up the Way Back Machine" popped right after.

I played the first 3 missions over and nothing. I know I started in game on the 3rd mission of Heaven Sent so I was perplexed but after completing the 2nd mission I noticed the game had stuck me on lvl 3? So I cranked it back up to 9 and played the first two missions over for Heaven sent in reverse order and it unlocked after completing the first mission.

So I've replayed every main mission and all the team missions at diff 8 and it didn't unlock. Only missions I didn't repeat that might have been main missions where you unlock rama, daisy and ninja chick. I'm not replaying the whole game again just to get a 30 point achievement

Just unlocked this, I can confirm you only need to replay the main story missions on the higher level and not all of the character ones. I played them through on Agent Level 9 which isn’t much harder than 7, and 7 didn’t seem to work for me. Double and Triple check before and after each mission that the difficulty hasn’t changed at any point, and that should be it, worked for me anyway.

I recommend a fresh playthrough that was the only way I could get it to unlock after my third run of the game.

(I agree with the others about mission replay not being reliable)

Kind of at a loss here.

Did a full run at level 15 making sure everything was right, and nothing has popped. Other Achievements in the game have popped in between so it's not Xbox messing up... I don't really know what else I can do to get this. Maybe delete my account, hard reset, delete the local + cloud save and restart all fresh, and put another dozen hours in. So boring :(

Be careful the game messes around with difficulty settings behind your back, i manually made sure it was correct every mission and that worked for me.

I went back to replay the missions after playing the game years ago to try to get this achievement, but they're locked. I have every achievement except this one, including Fire Up The Way Back Machine.

Edit: Nevermind. I just needed to go into the main hub.

Edit 2: I actually got the achievement! It took me 5 freaking years!

I’d like to add that for me, when I was replaying missions, it didn’t unlock, but when I went through them for a third time, I realised that I’d somehow not finished a mission properly, and when I did, it gave me the achievement. For me it was the first Dr Babylon mission. I’d gone to the robot lair and left, but didn’t do the part where you go to the temple afterwards. I guess I got distracted and just started another mission once I’d left the lair.

So to cut it short, some people may be having issues with it popping during replays because they aren’t playing the missions to completion.

Didn't unlock for me and I thought I'd been careful checking the level before doing a mission and during if I died which only happened twice. I'm 99% it stayed on 7. Yeah like others no way I'm playing this again, it's just not a fun game achievement issues aside.

ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY FIXES
The “Hardcore Gamer” achievement can now be completed by replaying missions at difficulty 7+. You no longer need to be at that difficulty the first time through, and Agent missions are no longer counted towards the achievement.

By ReAl ImPuLsE on 10 Nov 2017 00:05
Yea I know I played the last two missions on 7+ but it seems I have to play them again as well. Not a big deal though as I still need to get 5 agents up to level 20.

By iTz Canada Ehh on 03 Dec 2017 22:20
Just wanted to point out my scenario: I only needed to redo the first 2 operations at most. It didn’t work. I played the third (Steeltoe) and it still didn’t work. Then I jumped to the final level (fall of Babylon) and it unlocked.
So perhaps only play what you know you need, then jump to the end.

This trophy is no longer missable/glitched with the latest patch as it's now obtainable via mission select once you've completed the game.

There are 57 operations to complete and you need to complete them all on Level 7 or higher, there are 16 levels of difficulty (11 to 15 are locked until you have an agent at Level 20).

You can choose the difficulty when you leave the Ark and choose your team, ALWAYS pick 7 or higher. Don't ever set the difficulty to a lower level to be sure.

The first missions can be difficult as your agents will be low level but once you upgrade them it's really easy. The first Agent missions will be locked at Level 1 but you still need to choose difficulty 7 or higher when leaving the Ark.

Some players have reported that they don't have the trophy after completing every missions at Level 7, we are not sure what is the problem but it seems that the game can lower the difficulty without warning you when you die too much on a mission. So if you start at Level 7 and die too much, the game might put you at Level 6 for the end of the mission and when you're back at the Ark the difficulty is back at 7 and you didn't notice anything.

You might want to choose difficulty 8 or keep an eye on your current difficulty if you die 3-4 times on the same mission (you can see it when pressing the touchpad and go to Squad).

To get the trophy, you need to complete only Legion Operations at 7+ - the same ones for which individual trophies are given. The exception is Operation: Promotion, in this mission you simply do not have the opportunity to choose the difficulty level. Transactions involving the hiring of agents (for example, Rama or Scheherazade) are not taken into account. Difficulties with the trophy can only arise when completing the first story missions (completing side missions of agents can help to build up this), then the game itself will recommend you much higher difficulty levels.

List of missions for the trophy:
- Operation: Message from Heaven
- Operation: Star Power
- Operation: Machine Man
- Operation: Red Queen
- Operation: Madhouse
- Operation: Damocles

Replaying counts! It must be taken into account that you must complete all operations on difficulty 7+, which consist of several missions. So they all need to be replayed. I went through 2 operations and was given a trophy

The trophy did not drop when replaying missions with already leveled up characters. There is an assumption that you need to go through all the story operations on difficulty 7+ from the very beginning, so if you don’t want to go through it several times, I advise you to play on it from the first operation.

That's right. You need to complete all story missions starting from the first visit to the ark on difficulty 7+, since the difficulty choice appears only there. Missions before the ark do not count, they are like an introduction.
