How to unlock the Workshop combat master achievement in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Definitive Guide
First, in order to unlock this challenge map, you will need to choose to save Kessler toward the end of Chapter 6.
As for the challenge map, you will need to play on "I Am Death Incarnate" difficulty (at a minimum) and achieve a score of 17,200 points.
This method is not effective 100% of the time. The AI needs to come at you in a sequence that will give some combos. You don't need a lot of them, but some are mandatory. As you see in the video, run left and harvest some supplies and get your guns sorted. Take your time. The AI will not mess with you, and it takes a few for the stairwell to clear out. As you can see I arrived a little early. Once you get past that part, it is really easy. It just takes some luck to get the AI right, and headshots/explosions only. I was able to reach gold about 1/3 of the time this way.
Gilbert Prime comment:
I recommend at the start (the 6-second mark in the video) instead of immediately heading around the edge of the room, pop into the center and throw a knife at the civilian shambler's head for an extra 700 (300 Shambler+200 Thrown Knife+200 Head Shot) because you will need every point you can get on this challenge.
This is a video of the Workshop Challenge Map in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.
To obtain Gold, you must be playing on "I Am Death Incarnate" or "Uber" difficulty. The gold medal is rewarded at 17200. For higher scores go for headshots (600 points) and try to keep your combo active as you receive an extra 200 points for each kill in the combo.
If you are wondering how to unlock this Challenge, you need to save either Kessler or Annette in Chapter 6. One path leads to unlocking the Bathhouse map, and the other unlocks Workshop.
Here is another solution from Game Boys of Colour if you're struggling.
Before you run all the way up to the top, at the foot of that staircase will be a Heavy Soldier attacking some Shamblers (if you time it right, the Heavy Soldier will be past the doorway already attacking the Shamblers. If you're too early, the Heavy Soldier will be there to greet you with his shotgun). Kill them all quickly with the semi-auto shotgun for ~1200 points to start off your attempt.
This combined with killing Shamblers and then using the sniper rifle to pick off enemies in the distance toward the end (you'll have to come down at least one level from the top for this), means you'll probably get gold very quickly. In my experience I got it on the 3rd attempt using this method, and I didn't rack up large combos, just the occasional +200 point combo here and there.
Better you play in Über Difficulty!
I stayed where you respawn. First try to kill 3-4 soldiers when the challenge starts and hide in the corner. Enemies will come to you, use your rocket pistol when 3-4 enemies nearby to you, than sniper rifle the rest. 4-5th tries and worked for me
Ps: Use your shotgun when heavy armor soldier approach you. Hope I can help with my solution, goodluck.
From the start go straight to the pillar in front of you slightly to the left . Place yourself against the pillar looking to the stairs to the right. Take out the couple of soldiers that appear.
Now run up the steps and to the right , kneel down behind the car and look straight down the corridor. Shoot away ! keep the combo running. It is very easy to re load from here as well. Hope this helps.
Unlock requirement: This challenge is missable, and relates towards a decision that you make in Chapter 6 - Ruins. When you exit the water area late in the level, climb the wall and then turn right. This will take you to the workshop and towards Kessler (see Kessler saved for more details). Once you've finished killing the enemies in the workshop, the challenge will unlock. If successful, an on screen notification will appear.
Gold medal requirement: 17,200
