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

I just did The Detour with one friend (just the two of us) and we got -28 where it required -20. We used a 15% and a 20% boosted card and did it on inconceivable. I used the anchor, and he used the Protector. Protector could probably be shifted out for a different character, but we just marked everything and made sure to get all the cog tags, so we had to kill more enemies than we may have liked. This might be possible on Insane if you have juvies at the beginning. We tried insane once but it was only -15 with leeches. This would probably also have been a lot easier with a third now that I think about it :). We turned on more lethal leaving off more health to headshot enemies easier, and marked everyone.

This achievement pops after returning to lobby.

I did this on The End. Gold is -25. I just did it at -42 and nothing? Am I missing something

If anyone still wants to get this achievement done, hit me up.
Did -72 minutes on the current featured escape map (The Corruption) with two randoms, -75 minutes is needed (sigh..).
I know what to do (and you should too ;P) and have a lvl 20 Brawler but can also play a lvl 17 Blademaster (which kinda sucks in this mode, sadly.)

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.

So the Gold "Time" is effected by difficulty?
Is this because the modifiers help you get a negative time? I don't understand that part.

Yes, you can get a negative time with the modifiers. I got -27 minutes taking it slow.

Not sure but maybe the Epic skill card that boosts team score can help on this achievement

I think it gives too little benefit to let you go down a difficulty level. You won't reach negative 15 minutes with a 30% boost. And if you are already on the hardest difficulty, you don't need the boost. I'd recommend picking a high level character and using five cards that help you stay alive.

@FLeXAKuMA, I was dead when my friends made it out and my achievement popped once we returned to the menu.

Just did this on The Gauntlet with myself as Anchor, a Marksman and Infiltrator with More Lethal and Bastions turned off and everything else on making it only Insane. End time was -1 and Gold requires 7 or less so now is a good time to get this Achievement, definitely recommend Classes with Bleeding Effects
