How to unlock the Karl Would Be Proud achievement in Deep Rock Galactic - Definitive Guide
I had the highest success rate on Hazard 5 missions with Morkite mining expeditions on the Crystalline Caverns, The Salt Pits, and The Sandblasted Corridors. (with limited success on Radioactive Exclusion Zone). Grab a Dark Morkite beer before you set out to make things even easier.
The objective is to blaze to the end ignoring everything except the Morkite. I played as Driller to minimize risk of returning to the drop pod as well as being able to dig around certain chambers that contained events or minibosses. With a bit of luck and good RNG you should be able to complete the mission is around 8 minutes without consuming too much ammo or encountering too many threats.
*The method I used for this achievement was done in 2 player coop but could easily be translated into solo play as Bosco is capable of doing a lot of heavy lifting all while not requiring any resupplies.
*This method will also work for the Rock Solid achievement and any of the lower Hazard level mission achievements.
That said there is a bit of RNG and luck involved with how the dungeon is laid out and what types of enemies/swarms you will encounter. We had a couple runs ended instantly when a swarm of Swarmers (the little ankle biters) or Bulk Detonators appeared.

After trying the egg hunt mission for a while, I gave up and tried this solution. Got it my second try, so I would definitely recommend this method. Thanks for the guide!

This worked first try for me running engineer with smart rifle w the slow lock rounds and a powerful line gun after failing the egg event several times. Great guide.

If you refer to my "Rock Solid" achievement guide which is to complete 5 Hazard 5 missions in a row from start to finish, you should be able to get this achievement along the way.
Going into revive mode or calling in a supply drop will void this achievement.
To summarise, I played solo and used the driller with the fully upgraded Cryo Cannon (flamethrower would run out of ammo too quickly and would need a supply drop), and I did a 4 egg egg-hunt. I would kill most enemies at the beginning, leave eggs that are close together till last and hope that I wouldn't get many Oppressors or Bulk Detonators that would eat through my ammo. It took a few attempts, but you should only need a small cave with good egg locations to get this done.
Update: This method worked for me a while back but looking at some comments, it may not work for you. If you are having no luck after a few attempts then please try other people's strategies. The game has changed a lot since I posted this, they may have increased the difficulty of the egg hunts.

The other guides here are good but I have found a solution that has worked alot better for me personally. First you will want to look for an Aquarqs mission (the one where you get the blue gems out of the walls) biom isn't hugely important but I recommend avoiding Hollow Burrow and Glacial Strata if you can as The former has terrain that will make your life alot harder and the latter has the ice storms that will slow you down and probably get you killed and it's also a bit harder to find the Aquarqs in the icy blue walls. You'll be using scout for this one, Guns don't really matter but you will need the grappling guns Recharge time maxed out and either the stun sweeper or cryo grenade but I recommend cryo. Choose "solo" and load in, once in you will want to immediately look around and find a high up Aquarq and send Bosco up to get it, look for one you can get to quickly and go for it as quick as you can. Perks don't matter all to much but recommend the ones that let you throw heavy objects farther and the one that let's you get more health from red sugar. You will get a swarm eventually, try your best to clear it out but most of all... run. You're scout so you can get around the cave system quick, while you're running send Bosco to get any Aquarqs you see and try to deposit them when either you're safe or have some distance from the swarm. You're only true threat are Acid Spitters, Septic Spreaders, And Mactera, but as long as your mission doesn't have the "Mactera Swarm" alert it shouldn't get overwhelming if you're targeting them. I know this sounds like alot but I promise it's not that hard in practice. Happy hunting gamers!

It’s better to do it in a team of at least 2 people (with the four of us it was very easy to pass), you need 1 driller and preferably a gunner (to throw the dome).
Choose a mission for morkite; if available, order beer at the bar for increased morkite production (you can do without it, but it’s faster).
In the mission itself, quickly run to the morkite deposits, not paying attention to the side mission, 3-5 large deposits should be enough. If you are lucky with the cave and do everything quickly, you will have time to collect the morkite before the wave of mobs.
If they announce the approach of a wave, you can dig a long cave as a driller, and in it, with the whole team, shoot the enemies who climb in.
On the contrary, the driller can directly drill a tunnel to the ship, while the team covers the tunnel from the rear. You can throw a dome to prevent mobs from following you, but keep in mind that you may still need the dome while you wait for the molly.
Only the host can have access to difficulty level 5; others do not have to have it.
With a team of 4 people, there is just enough ammunition to fight off one wave.

With a drill you can safely close missions with morkite in a row, either five in a row or without a nozzle.

The three of us knocked out the trophy, took a driller and 2 generators, a short mission to extract markite (the one with a pickaxe, not pumping at the factory). During big waves, we took turns throwing the shield, we did it on the second try, the shields make the difference.

You can quite easily do it in an dishonest way: launch watercolors (green plus sign) or liquid morkite (blue up arrow) on hazard 5 and DURING LOADING into a mission, change the console time back an hour. Enemies will not spawn. The main thing is not to die in solo, because the bosco will also not move.
