    It has been confirmed that it only tracks progress on Heroic -_- but you can get the achievement "Racing the clock" on legendary but that doesn't track for "Hardly Tardy" or "Mr. Punctual"
    **There has been an update for it to no longer be in "Early Access" but that still hasn't fixed tracking for this achievement...**

    Activate the helpful skulls:
    -Catch
    -Sugar Cookies
    -Pain Train
    -Bountiful Harvest
    -Emperor

    The par time for each mission in minutes are:
    Mission 01: 5 - 12
    Mission 02: 15 - 30
    Mission 03: 8 - 18
    Mission 04: 21 - 35
    Mission 05: 21 - 35
    Mission 06: 15 - 30
    Mission 07: 12 - 24
    Mission 08: 18 - 30
    Mission 09: 18 - 30
    Mission 10: 20 - 32
    Mission 11: 20 - 30
    Mission 12: 8 - 18
    Mission 13: 20 - 60
    Mission 14: 15 - 30
    Mission 15: 20 - 33

    Also for mission 6 make sure to put 1-2 Wolverines next to each Rhino and try not to use cn_LB for all units by accident and move them from their locations and get into the habbit of using Local units or Holding cn_A to manage units.

    Let me know if I need to add anything else, Thank You and Good Luck

    Shortygaming100My achievement tracker still isn't working right. And it's quite frustrating.

    StrohKamm459Same problem. I got the achievement, my coop-partner not.
    We played every mission together and checked the mission list for the par time-clock. Now we replay every mission.

    Best idea is to check the tracker after every single mission if there is progress. If not- replay the mission or note it for later.

    The description for the achievement is actually misleading, rather than having to beat all the levels below the minimum par time, the achievement will be rewarded as long as the level is completed under the maximum par value for that mission.


    The easiest way to get this achievement is to complete all levels under Par Time on Heroic with all helpful skulls active. (Catch, Sugar Cookies, Pain Train, Bountiful Harvest and Emperor)


    The par time for each mission in minutes are:
    Mission 01: 5 - 12
    Mission 02: 15 - 30
    Mission 03: 8 - 18
    Mission 04: 21 - 35
    Mission 05: 21 - 35
    Mission 06: 15 - 30
    Mission 07: 12 - 24
    Mission 08: 18 - 30
    Mission 09: 18 - 30
    Mission 10: 20 - 32
    Mission 11: 20 - 30
    Mission 12: 8 - 18
    Mission 13: 20 - 60
    Mission 14: 15 - 30
    Mission 15: 20 - 33

    BG cartortroyThis happend to me but after replaying the first couple of missions it finally unlocked. not really sure what else to suggest. Maybe trying a console reset by holding in the power button on the console cry

    darthmarticusCan I just ask, what did you think this solution adds that the one above didn't already say?
    Posted by darthmarticus on 15 Feb 17 at 19:42
    IVIr IVIeNsA@darthmarticus.... it adds exactly what it says in the opening line, try reading it before getting snarky. I tried three times to beat 21:00 on Mission 4 before reading the above, since the top guide neglects to mention that you don't need to 'beat' the par time, you just need to complete it below the upper time limit.

    Also, just to point out that you should try doing this all COOP or all single player. I got all them under Par (started the game on COOP and then finished up Single) and the achievement didn't pop.
