    This achievement will take a bit of time but isn't too difficult with patience. The objectives to gold medals do stack so you don't have to worry if you're taking too long at a mission since you're making sure you're getting a good accuracy. Make sure to use each characters abilities whenever you can to help with objectives that suit their ability.

    It's best to work on this after you complete the campaign and all of the Strangers and Freaks missions. After completing as many as you can, look through your missions and see which ones are close to being completed and focus on those first. Strangers and Freaks missions as well as the setup missions for heist are usually quick and easy golds to achieve.

    When working on time related objectives, skip any cutscenes and only focus on completing the mission. Don't worry about accuracy as it isn't advisable to work on them at the same time. If you die and restart at a checkpoint, it will void your time objective. If that happens it's best to work on a different objective during the mission so you can at least salvage it a bit.

    Accuracy related objectives will be easier if you turn on auto aim so you can keep missing shots to a minimum as well as assist in getting headshots if you need them.

    Mission specific objectives tend to be easy so take note of what is required before you replay a mission so you can get these ones while playing them.

    Missions with the Unmarked objective should be avoided since there are plenty of missions that won't require having to worry about being shot. You'll usually spend more time trying to get this completed on a single mission rather than if you did two missions without it.

    KiwiBananaVIPooThe achievement didn't pop for me initially after my 70th gold medal, but it popped for the next one I got for a main mission.
    S&F missions seem to advance the progression normally, but not for finally popping the achievement.

    Viridian76For some reason if I die during a replay, and still get a check that I needed after finishing the replay, it won't register when it puts me back into story mode. I have to go back into the mission and do the whole thing without dying, and it doesn't matter what the goal was I was shooting for.

    After doing the achievement once for Xbox 360 I wanted to do this achievement really quickly to get it out of the way. I thought I would just make a quick guide of the missions I found the easiest and quickest to do. I have left some notes for some of the missions.

    AbviiIt seems that my Gauntlet missions are bugged, I'm not doing any damage to the cars and still have yet to unlock the Not a Scratch challenges for 2/3 of them. No damage to LsC or on the way to the lockup.

    This achievement can take awhile. But if your doing this on your first play-through whilst working your way through the main story and towards the "career criminal" achievement it really shouldn't be much trouble at all.

    Here is and amazing guide that tells you all of the requirements needed for a gold medal on each mission, and it also give you tips for some of the harder gold medals. http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/grand-theft-auto-v/...

    The only tip i will personally give is if you don't get the gold medal after your second attempt leave it and move on, as there will be most likely be easier gold medals ahead. I say this because there are about 110 missions that you can get gold medals on and you only need 70 for the achievement.

    Crater BobSo, supereasy gold I just found on XBox One, The Ballad of Rocco, just hold LB so that after you skip the cutscene, you're in the weapon wheel, pull out the Railgun, line up Rocco's car, and let loose, just got a 26-second completion for like four seconds of work. laugh

    I ASK NO ONEThis is the best posted guide out of all the others here. PS Trophies has the detailed guide needed. Thanks!

    Hexa FoxThis guide left out some really easy missions such as the five or six very easy 'souvenir series' of missions. Also they did not leave tips for some of the easiest missions like finding artifacts without the meter. I cannot believe they did all this work and left those out. Anyway this is still the best guide in my opinion. They have some really good tips for making many missions easy. +1
