Please view the videos and text descriptions below for my general strategies for each 3-star mission. My ranks in the videos range between 1-12, as they were recorded before it was known that ranking makes a difficulty difference.
Challenge 1 - Be More Objective:
This is easily the most frustrating of the challenges, and I suggest you leave it for last. The key to completing this challenge is to go from objective to objective as quickly as possible, and try to complete objectives with the least enemy resistance possible. If you run into a point where enemies are defending the objective, and your teammates are being useless, you'll have to kill 3 or more enemies, and then quickly make a break for the objective before they can spawn back. Don't count on your teammates to revive you, as usually they won't, but it is usually worth waiting a few seconds to see if they are able to pick you back up. While doing an objective (like repairing), make sure to crouch, and hide behind whatever you can while doing it. If enemies begin shooting at you, start swaying back and forth, making you harder to hit.
Challenge 2 - Parkour This:
The easiest challenge of all 4. You should have no problem getting this on your first try, but if you encounter any difficulties, view the path I used in the above video. There are slightly faster methods around, but they all use this path with small variations.
Challenge 3 - Escort Duty:
For this challenge you are asked to be an engineer, and escort a small tank to the end of the level. This challenge can be frustrating as you may die multiple times, but shouldn't cause too much trouble to pass. Make sure to always buff after spawning (Click left analog stick), and focus on the enemies over the tank.
Challenge 4 - Tower Defense:
For this challenge you will be an engineer, and to make it easier buy some abilities for your engineer class in the "Characters & Weapons" option from the main menu. Make sure to always plant a landmine in front of the command post, and try to "Spawn camp" as much as you can. Turrets can also help you, but use them wisely, as some enemies will hack them to turn against you. If you do use a turret, plant it across the path of the command post, so it is able to kill enemies who try and hack the command post. Stay calm, and well hidden and avoid dieing at all costs. Good Luck with this!
Conclusion:
After completing all 4 challenges at the 3-star rating, you will have gotten the following achievements:
Note: Some of the above achievements may unlock in a different order.
Plus you directkly know how stuff works, and what classes can do.
It took me 1 hour to do all of the 3-star challenges.
As others have pointed out, you should start a new level 1 character for this achievement. Immediately choose the "Battle Hardened" ability as well, as it will be helpful.
Then, begin with "Be More Objective" and complete the 1-star challenge. IF YOU LEVEL UP and get level 2 after the 1-star mission is completed, go into the 'abilities' menu and pick a new ability, then immediately press 'Y' to "sell all," which will reset you back to level 1. Choose "Battle Hardened" again.
Then simply go back and play "Be More Objective" for the 2-star challenge. Again, if you level up, repeat the ability process to reset yourself to level 1. The 3-star challenge should be extremely easy now.
You want to stay at level 1 for every challenge because it makes the bots really easy to kill, and that's not to mention that it makes them completely unable to aim properly, and you will rarely die.
After completing the 3-star challenge on "Be More Objective," repeat the process next on "Escort Duty" and "Tower Defense." Since you're resetting to level 1 each time, you could do these in any order as they will remain the same difficulty. (Note: I admit that it IS handy to have the turret ability on "Tower Defense," but it really isn't necessary) After your last 3-star mission on all of these challenges, you don't have to reset again, because all that is left is "Parkour This," which has no enemies.
Using this method, I got this achievement tonight in under an hour, and never had to repeat a challenge. So, by remaining level 1 at all times, this achievement can be extremely simple.
1) Create a new character and use him on the missions
2) Do the following order of missions to get the sure fire deal here
- 1 Mission : Be more objective
Why: This is by far the hardest mission and the most unforgiving because you have to sprint from objective to objective while the enemies get cheap hits. Also if you die once, there is a high chance that you wont make it
- 2 Mission : Escort Duty
Why: Sometimes if your buggy gets crashed at the wrong spot, you will have enemies approaching from your back and from your front, which can cost you time and nerves, so do this mission as number two
- 3 Mission : Tower Defense
Why: Its simple, here you can just learn the pattern of enemies approaching. The final Wave on Level three will come with 9 enemies at once. Here it is essentiel to take out a whole unit of them before you get distracted and overrun. If your outpost got captured, just dont panic and take the enemies out with controlled shots (dont forget to buff your damage)
- 4 Mission : Parcours
Why: Its a simple mission and an easy thing to breeze through it
With this method i got the Achievement in almost no time and no effort
What I did was use the heavy archetype, and make my primary the Gotlung Minigun for its obvious pluses of damage, rate of fire and huge ammo capacity. Secondary can be any AR with an underslung grenade launcher just for some cleaning up or early pickings as the AI run out of the tunnels.
The important part is this. You don't ever have to reload your weapon. How is it so simple? After you kill a wave, you go back to the command point, go to change weapon (the game will pause), switch to another gun then back to the Gotlung. Ding! Ammo restored, no reloads. You can stay atop your tower, aim down the sight to let the weapon spin up and let loose as soon as the AI pop out of the tunnels.
A small note: it only takes about 30-35 bullets to take out the group as they're exiting. After you kill the group, you have plenty of time to "reload" and set up for the next group.
I did try this earlier with the EZ-Nade AGL, but the delay of grenades, the path of them being a little unpredictable, and the fact that you only get six shots didn't sit well with me personally.
So happy camping, guys 'n girls!
Unfortunately the difficulty appears to increase with level, if anything getting harder, not easier! I did manage to 3 star the objective challenge with a lvl 20 engineer (2 mines + max turret), but the 'Tower Defense' was just a joke, especially the last round.
So as suggested elsewhere using a new low level character would appear to be key here. However i'd go further and say would need to keep the character low level! That is every so often, say when hitting level 3 or 4, go to the abilities screen and 'sell' your upgrades. This will have the effect of losing an upgrade point and demoting by 1 level. So if level 4, sell everything, buy an upgrade, then 'sell' again. You'll find yourself back at level 2 with just 2 upgrades available. I then choose the health boost and 3rd person view when interacting with objectives useful.
You still need to employ the right tactics for each challenge and some luck always helps, but I found this much easier than trying with a high level character.
I did 'objectives' first, then 'tower defence', followed by 'escort' and finally 'parkour', though luck still plays a major factor in completing these in my opinion.
For 'objectives', I found initially speed to be important to 'blow' the first objective before enemies showed up. After which I often had to help my team AI to take down a wave of enemies, so that eventually they could 'spawn camp' the enemy spawn and let me get on with the other objectives.
For 'Tower defence' its really only the last round that poses any difficulty as you'll get swamped from almost everywhere. One tactic I used here was to rush into the first spawn area and take out the guys (using a sub-machine gun' with high damage and fast rate of fire), before they entered the main arena. Of course when you get back, the other spawns are likely to be crawling all over you, but I found it gave me a fighting chance. Just make sure you equip some wepaons with a large reserve of ammo.
For 'Escort' I'd often prepare a level, by placing a mine and hacking any consoles, before returning to repair the vehicle. Then I found taking out each wave of enemies as fast as possible was best (again secondary weapon sub-machine gun was effective at close ranges). If the vehicle got damaged I tended to leave one enemy alive, to stop full respawns, though things happened so quick i'm not sure if that actually worked.
Weapons upgrades do carry over between characters, though.
"Be more objective" is best with a light body type to run as fast as possible to objectives and do them while the crappy AI is confused.
"Parkour" is super easy if you follow the guide, light body type again.
"Escort duty" and "Tower defense" (the latter being the only one thet proved tricky) are most easily done with a heavy body type and the Chinzor machine gun, the CARB-9 is pretty good to fall back on if you need to, just make sure on "Tower defense" you have a landmine in play at all times in front of the command post and you know what door(s) the enemies are spawning from, and it's peachy.

Note: Some of the above trophies may unlock in a different order.
There are four (4) challenges that consist of 3 levels of difficulty. You will need to be in the Main Menu, head down to challenges, there you will see four challenges that don't have the white mark next to the name. If you end up seeing a white mark next to the name, it could mean that you have reached the last Difficulty for that challenge or you have beaten the last difficulty for that challenge.
If you are having trouble finding out if you have beaten the last challenge, just head over to the Characters and Weapons section to see if you have any of the attachments that you unlock for completing a challenge difficulty for each challenge or the Leaderboards for that last difficulty for any challenge. If you are having trouble completing the first star challenges, you can go to the campaign and switch the difficulty to easy. Doing that will change the AI difficulty across all challenges to make it a bit easier for the player.
Challenge 1 - Be More Objective:
You are better off, using Grenades to knock back any enemies that are in your way to buy you a little bit of time to complete the task. Be mindful that once you reach the last objective there will be enemies waiting for you at the top. Just take them out as quickly as possible, while using cover to heal when needed.
Thanks SajikoSakura for the video Walktrough.
Challenge 2 - Parkour This:
You will be playing as the lightest body type in the game. You will need to jump from platform to platform and then race back to the beginning. You will be timed. There are nine Checkpoints for you to get to before you are able to race back to the start point to finished the challenge. Make sure to hold the button to run and jump over gate and onto other objects to get you to the next checkpoint. Please use the video to help with this challenge.
Thanks SajikoSakura for making the Challenge video Guide!
Challenge 3 - Escort Duty:
You will be an engineer that needs to take on small waves of enemies that are trying to take out the Robot. That same robot needs to make it to the other side of the area.
You will need to stay behind the robot at all cost to keep it moving forward. There will be three enemies at a time, until you get closer to the end or die, granting more enemies to come out and shoot at your Robot. Staying behind the robot will provide cover at all times and all you will have to do is take out the enemies one by one until they are gone. There will be lights indicating when waves of enemies are coming from a door.
Thanks SajikoSakura for making the Challenge video Guide!
Challenge 4 - Tower Defense:
You play as an engineer, you will need to fight multiple waves of enemies at once with each star gained. There will be a total 11 waves in total for each star. The best way to go about this is to be Rank 2; That way you will be able to use a turret to add in a direction you won't be able to defend otherwise. Plant a landmine on on the top of the stairs or in-front of the computer that the enemies are trying to hack.
Also watch the lights that come up in front of each entrance to know where the enemies are coming from so you will be better prepared to take on the waves.
Thanks SajikoSakura for making the Challenge video Guide!
There are a total of 4 challenges to complete. You must do the first and second Star Challenges in order to unlock the 3rd for each. They hardly change and add a little bit more difficulty. Straight from Splash Damage out of the strategy guide, they state the higher you rank up the harder they become. So it's best to do the first couple for each challenge to get all unlockables, then play the campaign. Once done with campaign, create a brand new level 0 character to do the challenges with. After completing the 1st/2nd Star Challenges prior, and by learning lots of the game from playing so much and hitting rank 5, you should not have too much trouble completing them now.
Be More Objective: Here you must do objectives with the various classes. Your AI team will not help hardly at all. This is the most frustrating of the challenges. You will get shot randomly and get taken down quickly. Make sure you use the high ground often. Do this challenge first.
Parkour This: This is the easiest of the challenges. There are no enemies. Be sure to do this one last so you don't gain experience from it (so you don't gain a level).
Escort Duty: This mission can be a little bit tough but it's more about the time. If you keep killing enemies and moving on you will do fine.
Tower Defense: The way it works is there are 3 rounds with various amounts of enemies in each wave. You must kill them and protect the Command Post. Place a mine near the objective but not directly in front of it. An enemy has to step off of for it to detonate. If you die, it will be your safeguard. Also remember you can self buff your weapon damage and refill ammo by accessing the Command Post every time you need it.
