Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem

crouch and go under a ramp, some ramps work better than others

MISSION: Horus Sanctuary
DIFFICULTY: "1 out of 3 skulls" (emphasis on the " ")
MINIMUM (bronze): SOLO 5:00, COOP 7:00

FORWARD: Still have a sense of pride? If you do, give it $20 and tell it to go catch a movie. You're about to do what it takes to win, and there may be crying involved. This wasn't impossible, but much harder than I expected for a freaking bronze.

TIPS:

• Coop didn't necessarily make this easier, but I wasn't ahem following my highly skilled, and not at all shameful, tip below

• In the Menu, go to Options, Controls, Auto Aiming, and set to Enabled With Indicator. This will make the task dramatically easier and essentially turns the game into an arcade shooter. See a giant reticle? Pull the trigger and invisible bullet ferries will carry sweet death directly to your target. The reticle changes color depending on target health (green -> yellow -> red).

METHOD

• Round 1, start with dual pistols. Clear a few enemies on the top, then drop to the third floor (with the ground floor being first and the top floor being fifth). Why? None of the jump pads go directly to that floor and enemies from top and bottom have to work their way to meet you there. The result is they more consistently line up to get dead by the time they reach you. Plus you have nearby jump pads to escape

• Work in a circle, running backwards, and just keep shooting. If you run low on health, head upstairs to the fourth floor, grab some goodies, then jump back down

• Round 2, purple skill orbs will pop up on the bottom. You'll see purple beams reach out from on top of them. Drop down and pick up Dual Wield Harder

• Round 3, as soon as you see "Rocket launcher available" on your screen, switch to dual AK47s. It's time for the kleer. Unless this survival level is your very first taste of the series, you know that nobody would be sad to see a kleer go play in traffic (although they'd probably like it, jerks). AKs do a great job of mowing the kleer down before they can lunge at you for unsolicited hugs

• Round 4+up, when you run out of ammo on the AKs, switch back to pistols. Ammo is hard to find while you're running backwards, especially with tears and sweat obstructing your vision. By the time you're out of AK ammo, most of the kleer will have given up and decided to go pick on small children for fun. Move up and down floors as necessary to get some heat off of you, but only for a half rotation at most. Note that falling from 4 or 5 to ground level will hurt you.

• It may take a run or two to learn where the health and amour shows up, but it spawns in consistent places based on which round you're on. Keep moving, keep shooting, and you'll have this in the bag.

POSSIBLY BUGGY: I met the requirements for bronze and didn't get a pop. Hard restarted the game; nada. Loaded up another Horus Sanctuary match and it unlocked before the first round started.

not perfect but consistent as you start go to the 1st floor up left or right ramp in front of you doesn't matter which then see the 2nd ramp for the next level go under that crouch and push into corner similar to monkey canyon guide now you will take a tiny bit of damage from lucky shots but the enemies get stuck on the ramp you are under this is good until round 7 or 4 minutes 50 secs into game then the biomech will spawn his rockets will hurt so run and get to top floor and run around shooting like a madman your should get the 5 mins needed.

suicide bombs will again go up the ramp and blow up killing the other enemies on the ramp not hurting you and if it does its very low damage
