How to unlock the Medal Seeker achievement in Dead Block - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you'll need to get 4 gold medals in every level.
To get gold medals, go to options on the main menu and select Hard mode. Changing the difficulty at any time will reduce the medals to whatever difficulty you changed to.

To do so you'll need to;
-Break all destructible furniture,
-Collect all the searchable objects,
-Kill the required amount of zombies (or more than),
-And finally, not die during the level. This means you or your AI partner.

I find the best way to go is to work room by room.
First break everything and collect everything to clear the room, while keeping the zombies out or dying from traps.
Then move onto the next until they're all done. If your traps haven't gotten you the kills needed then find a large, easily defendable room. Trap the windows and keep killing till you reach the goal.

Thing to note;
-Keep an eye on the AI. They have a bad habit of attacking zombies and getting killed. A good idea near the end of a level is to barricade both in a room and go on by yourself.
-The special attacks are your friends. Use them on large groups of zombies at every opportunity you get.
-Don't get cornered. Nothing worse than getting to the end of a level and getting cornered when your nearly done. Keeping specials for escape from tricky situations is another good way to play it.
-Seal off parts of the map. Use Jack's indestructible Walls at chokepoints to seal off areas of the map you've already cleared. Helps prevent you getting overrun.

Addition: You do not need to get all medals in a single run. So if you get stuck split the medals over two runs. First smash all object, collect all stuff and get the kills. In the second run you can focus on not getting killed. As soon as you meet the requirements you can finish the level.

Don't think so. It says gold in all singleplqyer levels. Would be much easier in multiplayer. :/

Nope, that doesn't work. It'd be a bronze medal anyway.

This is the only difficult trophy to obtain. You’re required to obtain all the gold medals in every level of the game. To win gold medals you must play the game on hard to obtain the gold medals. Each level requires you to do the following in full:

Destroy Objects: Destroy certain number of furniture for that level
Search Objects: Search number of searchable objects for that level
Kill Zombies: Kill required amount of zombies or over the required amount for that level
Number of Deaths: Cleared a level without dying for that level (includes AI party members not dying as well)

This trophy will take the most of your time since it’s harder to build up blockades and zombies are stronger and while you are weaker with slower health regeneration. While going for this trophy I suggest that you destroy and search through objects first because the more items and supplies you have for building traps will help aid you. The best characters in the game are both Mike Bacon and Foxy Jones who both also have fast searches (Mike searches slightly faster than Foxy). Mike has the Toilet and Cardboard Traps that can cause zombies to attack and kill each other. Although Mike’s Cardboard Trap is more effective to use because the zombies will have boxes over their heads and will wonder around and leave you alone while you’re destroying and searching objects. Foxy Jones is the strongest character in the game in terms of melee strength and she has the best trap called the Bomb Trap, which can kill a lot of zombies at once to reduce the amount of zombies you’ll need to kill left.
 

Medal Seeker Survival Tips:

  1. Jack Frost: He’s not really the best character to use for doing the gold medals, however, he has the best blockade building traps in the whole game. His best trap is the Concrete Blockade Trap which can stop zombies from coming in from a door or window completely. So use Jack to put up his Concrete Blockade Trap in places where a lot of zombies will come from or use it to protect your characters from dying by stealing them in a room with his Concrete Blockade Trap
  2. Mike Bacon: Mike is one of the best characters to use in the game for doing the gold medals. Use his Cardboard Trap to put boxes on zombie’s heads and they won’t attack you at all but will attack other zombies adding more zombie kills to your count meter. Also be sure to use his special smartbomb attack by pressing to throw a cheeseburger so zombies can be distracted by its smell. Eventually his smartbomb will become upgraded to have a dynamite bomb in the cheeseburger to kill multiple zombies distracted by it.
  3. Foxy Jones: Foxy is one of the best characters to use in the game for doing the gold medals. Use her Bomb Trap for it’s the best trap in the entire game and has incredible destruction power to destroy every zombie near it. Also be sure to use her smartbomb ability by pressing to kill zombies that get in your way. Eventually her taser gun will be upgraded to a revolver and a shotgun which can kill 6-12 zombies at once.
  4. Searching objects: Use only Mike or Foxy while playing through the levels for the gold medals because these two have the best searching abilities and can get the job and objectives done much faster. Never use Jack to search because he has the slowest searching abilities.
  5. Put up wood blockades: Blockade all the windows and doors within a room that you’re working on. This helps you stall for time while you’re destroying and searching objects. Also let the AI keep the wooden blockades up and running properly if you’re with a party. Once you collected all the items within a room that you’ve worked on in full, then breakdown and remove your blockades to get back your wooden supplies and move towards another room and repeat the putting up wood blockades process (If you had AI with you in the room manually move them with you).
  6. Useable items: While searching through objects you'll find useful useable items such as coins, Jukebox, soda machines, meat, and TV antennas. Use these items to help aid you against the undead especially the TV antennas because they help you clear a room for no zombies will bother to attack you if there's a TV in the room with an antenna.
  7. Survive the mayhem: For every level you must not die at all which includes your party members not dying as well. It’s best to try and do this last if you can for a gold medal. You don’t want to have to destroy or kill all the zombies all over again. Once you earned a gold medal you’ll have that medal forever only if you cleared a level, so attempt this gold medal last as a speed run. All you have to do is get to that guitar and play it as fast as possible by using Mike or Foxy to search through objects only looking for the guitar parts. I also suggest that you seal up party members in a safe room so zombies won’t kill them if you’re not using them.

In order to get all the gold medals you need to play on the most difficult mode (set in the settings). In each level, you are required to break all the furniture, search all the objects, kill the required number of zombies, and not a single character should die. I advise you to use Jack to close the doors of rooms that you have already examined with brickwork. Also, some characters can also be locked in rooms in this way so that they cannot be reached. If you don't get at least one medal, you can repeat this level and focus on the missing medals.
