How to unlock the Firebug achievement in Defense Grid 2 - Definitive Guide

I did this on mission 14 on Practice Mode on Normal Difficulty. Playing on Easy is allowed, and would give you a bit more leeway.
A few things to make note of that aren't in the video.
I started by building that bottom squiggle out of greens, then upgrading them to reds as I had the resources.
When the extra path pops up (with the loops), I blocked the road to make them walk up there. I also upgraded these to reds.
As I gained resources, I built that back line of red infernos.
Around wave 20, I built the 4 infernos in the loop square.
During wave 24, I used Cai's Orbital Laser to weaken both of the enemy dropships so the guys inside would come out weaker.

And there you have it, the achievement should unlock on the score screen.

This one may be glitched. I have tried it three times and no luck. Did it once on practice mode easy, once in practice mode on normal, and once in story mode easy. I made sure I never placed any other towers and didn't sell any either.

There have been quite a few glitchy achievement reports for this game so that is entirely possible. As long as you're doing it on levels anywhere from level 12-20 it should have worked.

Err you have to do it on a Chapter 4 or later mission. Missions 4 and 6 are too early.

I see. You have to do it chapter 4, not mission 4. Thanks for clearing that up.

Haha. Should've stuck with youtube because your onedrive is no longer there.

PRACTICE MODE is found by scrolling to the bottom of the MODE list before choosing General Cai.

To verify, YOU CAN USE BOOST TOWERS, if you wish to make use of them.

Thank you for the video. I unlocked the FIREBUG & UNTOUCHABLE achievements on my first attempt of this video.

Thanks, I'll edit the onedrive link out since the other video works fine.

Just to clarify, chapter 4 isn't the same as mission 4. You need to do level 12 onwards for this to unlock - guide says level 14 and that is a perfect level!

*Elite1111111111's solution is great, however I am adding a screenshot for path assistance.*

You use Booster towers for this achievement however I did not.

I did this on mission 14 on Practice Mode on Easy Difficulty.

I was able to get up to wave 21 by spamming lvl 1 Inferno towers as seen below. By which point I had already unlocked gold. After that I upgraded towers as much as I could for an easy win.

I also used the Command Shuttle to move some spots down.

Great having a screenshot instead of just a video!

Also, if you haven't gotten it before, you can also achieve:
Defense Grid 2Salvage RightsThe Salvage Rights achievement in Defense Grid 2 worth 14 pointsKill an alien boss creature. (Juggernaut, Rumbler, Turtle, or Crasher)


Additionally, the use of booster towers and the overcharge ability, allows you to use only level 1 towers, to achieve:

I did this achievement on level 12 on the Story mode on easy difficulty . My tactic was to cover the map in level 3 flame towers but I started by making the aliens go the long way round on the bottom part of the map by blocking of the short bend and also blocking the 2 middle squares, I then blocked off 3 of the 4 passages and only left the one closest to the cores so they have to snake round. If you keep upgrading all of your towers to level 3 you should have enough fire power to get you through the level but to be safe keep adding flames to the start of your snake path when ever you get spare resources.

I am not the best at describing my method so I have included a video below to show me completing the achievement.

This is done on Mission 14 in campaign mode all thanks to Elite1111111111 for the layout and map it worked a treat, all I will add is you need to use the command to get the hyper pier activated and can be done quicker and easier on Grinder game mode which gives you 100 waves of basic aliens.

I started by building that bottom squiggle out of greens, then upgrading them to reds as I had the resources.
When the extra path pops up (with the loops), I blocked the road to make them walk up there. I also upgraded these to reds.
As I gained resources, I built that back line of red infernos.
Around wave 20, I built the 4 infernos in the loop square.
During wave 24, I used Cai's Orbital Laser to weaken both of the enemy dropships so the guys inside would come out weaker.
this is also perfect to pick up the following achievement progress alone the way:

Defense Grid 2Burn Baby BurnThe Burn Baby Burn achievement in Defense Grid 2 worth 21 pointsBuild 100 Inferno towers.

Defense Grid 2Master StrategistThe Master Strategist achievement in Defense Grid 2 worth 425 pointsEarn 100 Gold Medals on any missions.

Defense Grid 2XenocideThe Xenocide achievement in Defense Grid 2 worth 107 pointsKill 50,000 aliens.

The first mission of Chapter 4 is mission 12. Beat this or a later mission using only inferno towers for this trophy to pop. 

The easiest mission to obtain this trophy in is mission 14 called ‘Surface Tension’. Play in training mode on the easiest difficulty setting. Now build inferno towers on every available spot and make sure you make the route for the aliens as long as possible by blocking certain crossroads. Keep upgrading the towers throughout the mission and you should be fine. For visual aid on this trophy, please refer to the video below.

This achievement requires that you win any Chapter 4 or later mission using only Inferno towers. While most of the maps can be won this way, the easiest approach is likely to play Chapter 19 in Grinder mode on easy and play only Inferno towers. Ensure you create a long path and consistently upgrade your towers for an easy win. Note that you do not need to get a gold (or any) medal to unlock the achievement, you merely need to finish the game with at least one core still on the map.
