How to unlock the Solid Gold achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide
Did this on insane with more health and more lethal turned off, classes a blades master, brawler and marksman equipped with 2 lvl 6 epic score boosts and 1 lvl 4 epic score boost
you get bonuses on time, kills, head shot kills, executions and marked enemies. make sure you collect cog tags as well
for our run we didn't have to many execution kills but focused on marking and head shot's. As brawler just looking for group kills and juvie's. Try to clean out rooms as fast as possible and stay ahead of the venom. our run ended with a -22. You can keep track of your run by seeing your time with LB. Hope this helps and happy hunting

Thanks for the guide, just wanted to point a few things out:
1- Class preference in escape varies from one map to another. It depends on which weapons are available in the map. For example a map rich in Longshots/Markzas (such as Ice Queen or Lethal Engagements) is perfect for Marksman. And you would definitely want an Infiltrator in your team in a map full of Gnashers/Overkills (Such as The Malfunction or The Gauntlet). However, Marksman becomes useless in some other Hives like The Warren, same with Infiltrator it's useless in a map like Melee Brawl. This goes for all classes.
Watch out though, some classes are hardly useful/almost useless in any given Hive, so it's better to avoid these (Demolitions - Pilot - Veteran - Mechanic - Architect - Slugger - Striker) unless you need to level them up.
2- Try not to die at all, each death on your team deducts 5 minutes from the score.
3- Playing on Master difficulty gives a higher score, so you can comfortably hit you target & maintain it.

Just did Venom Run with randoms on Master. Took an hour or two to get it done but was fun

Featured escape maps change every Tuesday, so I can't give much specific advice. I recommend going for this as soon as you can after it changes. That gives you the best chance of being matched with good players. You should play the map on beginner a few times to learn the path and weapon drops, then jump into the inconceivable queue. As long as you stay ahead of the venom on inconceivable, you should do fine for time. Pick up the cog tags to do even better.
I spent about 10 minutes in the hive and got a time of negative 27 minutes. Gold for the map I did was negative 15 minutes. Performing kills, executions, headshots, etc. earns you extra time. Score cards and modifiers increase the amount of time added for each action.
Also, joining a game in progress won’t get any of the features rewards, including the achievement.

Has anyone had an issue with this unlocking properly? I just beat Forever with a time of -1:01:00. Gold is -00:15:00. I’ve hit well above/below (?) the gold score twice this evening and nothing. First score was around -00:40:00.
Edit: never mind. Joined those games in session. Did it again today from the Featured menu and it popped no problem.
Might want to include the reminder that joining a game in progress won’t get any of the features rewards, including the achievement.

Just a heads up, I didn't make it out but my team did and I didn't get credit for gold in terms of the xp bonus or achievement but I have a gold time on the leaderboard lol. Be careful if you intend on sacrificing.
