How to unlock the Lord Master of Great Skill achievement in Renegade Ops - Definitive Guide

I managed to unlock this achievement after completing Mission 1 of the Coldstrike Campaign DLC on hardcore difficulty with a fully-levelled Diz. I used Auto Repair, Auto Reload, Magazine Size - Elite, and Efficiency - Elite for my upgrades.

I died once when trying to defend the plane from the Gollems around halfway through the mission as I'd destroyed the Gollem but it's rockets still killed me afterwards. Besides this, my aim was to never be hit by any rockets at all. Besides the one death, the rest of the level wasn't too bad. I was hit plenty by small arms but never again by tank shells or rockets.

I'd advise to always keep the Rocket Launcher once you've found on, as this makes small work of the small rocket jeeps. It can also take out tanks in one shot once their back end has been exposed. The Gollems take a lot more damage than a tank before the weak side parts are exposed but once the two blue things come out of either side, one rocket takes down the whole machine.

I find this particular level to be quite open and I never seemed to really get stuck when trying to evade or avoid tank shells or rockets. I'd only use my EMP in emergencies. During the original story, taking on tanks with other enemies around (especially the rocket jeeps) was hard work and made it almost impossible to dodge shots. In this DLC mission, you never really get bombarded by the enemy and most of the battles are fair so to speak.

All in all, I died once but looking at the performance all together, I was hit by maybe 4 rockets out of god knows how many that tried to hit me throughout the entire level.

Got it easily on the first dlc level! Died once and thought I would not get it. Just play safe and don´t save civilians and kill enemies out of screen and recharge the emp and shoot the tanks and the big things on their weak spot.

When you complete a mission, you will see the final screen showing your "skill level" in the upper left. The rating ranges from "Poor" to "Alien", and you will need the best rating of Alien to unlock this trophy. While it isn't clear exactly what factors into this rating, one can presume it has to with hard difficulty, fast game time, amazing accuracy, kill streaks and minimal damage taken. Score/Points is definitely NOT related to this.

Tips by Yoszek:

  I thought it will be ultra hard but it was surprisingly easy.

I played Mission 6 (The Cauldron) on Hardcore Difficulty with the Diz character. Upgrades were: Defense:Hardened Hull, Tactics: Static Shock-Elite & Efficiency-Elite & Super Charged.

Just kept pushing forward and using EMP every time there was some tanks or rocket vehicles. Got a 54 kill streak in there too. I lost my streak after 54, but still got a few more streaks over 20.

I did it without losing a single life. If you watch out for rockets you will be able to survive it easly.

Also got Alien rank on Missions 8 and 9, so I'm sure that with some practice it can be achieved in all missions without a problem.

Also funny thing happened to me at the last boss fight. We doubled KO each other and the game completed for me. I got the trophy Tough Stuff and Alien rank but on scoreboard it was GAME OVER and 0 score.

Tips by jonfelkin:

I agree it was shockingly easy. I did it with Diz in Hardcore on Mission 3, as I was progressing in the story, and I also collected all the relics. I was just trying to get maximum damage while taking minimal damage (like the in-game hint suggests). I don't think the kill streak affects it, just how much damage you do and take, so score is probably not a deciding factor.

Lost one life, almost two, and no kill streak over 25 ~ but still got Alien rank on it!

Also did Mission 2 with Superhuman rank trying the same tactic (go for damage whilst taking the minimum possible). Didn't loose a life there but don't think I killed enough for Alien

Can be done on the 6th mission! Difficulty should only be hardcore! Receiving an "Alien" rating depends on the number of points and time spent completing the mission! It's better to play as Roxy. The most important thing is that you don’t get hit too many times by rocket launchers and tanks!!
