Mission: Zero Hour Achievements – Hard Difficulty
Zero Hour
This basically wants you to complete the mission objectives which is rescuing 3 different groups of stranded allies. This is no big deal as long as you have a good supply of marines and medics you can send off you’ll be able to get to all of them pretty easily even on hard difficulty.
Hold the Line
Doing this through the first time it wants you not to salvage or have a building destroyed on normal. Since I was playing around and trying differnet strategies, the first thing I did was salvage all of the ill positioned bunkers for extra resources to build up a force. I haven’t completed this one yet but if I were to reduce down to normal difficulty it will be more doable.
*Update – The difference between normal and hard is massive. All you have to do is keep SCV’s by your buildings but what I did was just built up a mass army and destroyed all the other 3 bases completely so there was no chance they would even make it to my base. If you can’t destroy their bases it’s best to just have units standing out in the attack paths on the way to your buildings so you don’t lose any.
The Best Defense…
This achievement is for Hard difficulty and wants you to walk into the enemies base and destroy 4 hatcheries. The first time through I upgraded all my marines put in 4 barracks and randomly sent units to attack the enemies base on Hard difficulty and didn’t have much luck. I will be trying to get this and the above achievement before I continue, I think the strategy is going to be something like building a mass Army, ignoring everything else and sacrificing the marines to destroy hatcheries. We’ll see…
*Update – I made a video and gave this achievement it’s own section found here: The Best Defense
