How to unlock the Veteran achievement in Gatling Gears - Definitive Guide

This game on hard is pretty doable all the way until the last boss and the level right before it (5-4). I would recommend doing the boss solo to prevent confusion as you have to do a lot of micro dodging. But do level 5-4 in co-op if you can.

Now listen up this method works like a champ and you can go through the whole level without getting hit more than a few times. We call it the CREEPING METHOD

These are tips for most levels but mainly 5-4

1.) I recommend playing a few times on easy just to know where the enemies are and what to expect.

2.) I recommend playing it in coop because you have two spark bombs, which if you do this method you might need to use them on the two side by side huge tanks that come from your side.

3.) MOST IMPORTANT. When moving up through the level, you can move so slow that only a sliver of the enemy will be showing at the top of the level as you progress. For instance the feet of a walker or the treads of a tank. STOP. Just as you see a glimpse of the enemy you'll be able to destroy it without it being able to fire back. That was the key to our victory.

Thank you and if you have any questions or I was too vague on something, I'll try to clarify

5-4 and 5-5 done solo. Rest should be easily doable now. These videos helped me a lot to know where to position and where enemies come from:

I've figured those out by myself by the time I don't read nor I see any guide, but thanks for the solution by the way. I have yet to finish it in solo play as I didn't have time to play a lot.

Do I have to beat levels in sequence or can I start from 5-4 and 5-5 and do the rest later:)?

No, you can do it in any order. It shows you which ones you have 3 starred(Hard) when you highlight the level.

IIf like me you can't find a co-op partner remember that a second player can drop in - drop out so you can use their smart bomb. Makes 5-4 do-able solo, just!

Lainey thanks dude, I just cannot make it solo, so I guess when using the second controler I have unlimited Smart Bombs?

I didn't try 5-4 co-op just a lot of attempts solo! Got there in the end though, managed to find a vid that helped on youtube. All your comments are valid and helpful though so thumbs up!

How can your co-op partner drop in and out? I can get them to drop out but never back in.

I have everything done but 5-4 and I've spent as much time trying to pass 5-4 as everything else in the game combined. I can creep a lot of it but too many of the sections are just flat out unwinnable without sustaining heavy damage. My best run I got to the final encounter and used my nuke too early so the giant tanks wasted me angry If anyone wants to co op this let me know before my head explodes

end rant

You have to beat the whole game on hard. Simply put, it will be hard. The enemies do a lot more damage on hard, and you only get two lives (as opposed to the three on normal and four on easy). If you can find a skilled boosting partner I'd recommend playing through on co-op, but if one of you dies you both fail the level so make sure that both you and your partner are up for this.

A good method to use throughout the campaign on hard is to inch forward the screen and destroy enemies as parts of them become visible. Most enemies won't shoot until they're fully visible so you can take advantage of that fact and pummel them with grenades before they get a chance to fire at you.

If you're having trouble with this achievement, here are some tips to help you:

  • Play through the game on easy/normal first and fully upgrade your walker. You'll have more health and better weapons that way, and both will help you survive on hard.
  • Stay moving. It's harder for enemies to hit a moving target.
  • You can fire rockets while aiming grenades and they'll be aimed where your grenade icon is.
  • Utilize power-ups. Weapon power-ups and invulnerability are duration-based, not use-based, so there's no point in saving them - they'll just wear off.
  • Learn the levels by playing them repeatedly on easy/normal. The better you know them, the more prepared you'll be.
