Game would have been much better if the bullets actually went past the cross hairs. It is especially noticeable with the laser, it's ridiculous that the laser beam shows it connecting with an enemy but the shots don't register unless the cross hair is on or behind an enemy.

DO NOT CHANGE ANY OPTIONS! If you change your starting weapon, location, or anything, the achievement is much harder to get. Here is how points are normally calculated Days Survived x 5000, plus your current point(not cumulative), plus 5000 for difficulty. However, is you change any options, only your current point total is counted, without any bonus for days survived or difficulty.

Like the top comment says, make sure it says "Ultimate Survival" and not "custom game". You only get badge under that mode. You also wont get the 5000xday under the custom mode.

I never knew that if you paint something blue it can take significantly more bullets... that must be why police men are always blue... hmm... But in all seriousness, can improve a lot, the most annoying thing i found was how the screen moves when you move your crosshairs, making it annoying and much more difficult when you aim. Either zoom out or make arrow keys to move. Its an easy fix. 3/5

I don't know the reason, but this game lags so bad for me that I hardly survive a week ( imagine not having a control over yourself when horde of baddias pour in from everywhere ... sucks )

To anyone pursuing that hard medal, each level earns a specific amount of points:
Level 1: 240
Level 2: 430
Level 3: 550
Level 4: 755
Level 5: 1050
Level 6: 1425
Level 7: 1785
Level 8: 2445
Level 9: 2765
Level 10: 3740
Level 11: 6465
Level 12: 7485
Level 13: 8240
Level 14: 9355
Level 15: 7635
It seems to fluctuate from there, but you should have your 100,000 by that point.
Also: There's a limit to how many creatures can be on the screen at one time. Use that to your advantage.
P.S. Use the mini-gun in short bursts unless you want to kill yourself from lag.

This game would be enjoyable without these HUGE lag waves that I'm getting every 10 seconds or so. Makes it really hard to avoid fast enemies.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
To get the badge easily just kill the fast enemies and let the ones you can outrun alive. Then run around in circles killing a couple, that way just a few enemies will spawn at a time and it's harder to get caught off-guard. This is slow but it's extremely useful, especially after day 10.

I just got the hard badge. It is not that hard to get you just kill 2 to 3 guys at a time and leave the slow one running in circles in the center. Get the mini gun it owns. The game seemed a lot more fun once I was sure I got the score and could do more mass killing so a score keeper would be nice. keep up the good work.

Alright, so this game lagged a lot for me whenever I bought the minigun and went crazy on those guys but since it lagged the game I got killed easily soon after obtaining it. However, I just got the badge by not using it. What I did was pretty much use the pistol until I had 4000 points then I bought that gun and I stuck with that gun the rest of the game. I only had to heal I think 3 times. By level 13 I had enough points to just suicide (I had a calculator next to me, so be sure to do the math!) and I got the badge with no lag. Good luck guys!

It'd be awesome if the screen didn't move whenever I moved my mouse around to shoot zombies... It throws off my aim and makes me miss. 8U

Follow TheSnowNinja's comment, Complete 15 days, have 20,000+ of unspent points and that will be enough for the badge when you die. PS you can get minigun(which is the best gun) at lvl 10 if u dont spent ur points on anything else besides a few health packs.

i am not sure if anybody will ever read this but some hints for the hard achievement: dont loose hp with the primary gun and don't waste money for aidkids, buy a shotgun 5k gun and after go for the minigun, try to stay in the middle of the map and get fast opponents first, you will get 5k points per day survived + points what you have so dont waste them for some random guns, at day 16 you should have enough points to win

awful lag, to the point my guy is walking so slow that if i try to turn by day 10 I can't in time. The gun will shoot the wrong way and my guy will walk into a wall. Then a ninja teleports on top of me... a lot of work needs to be done to fix this, but it's made several years ago so I guess that's why there are so many glitches.

Day 14 will net you enough points to get the achievement. The badge is awarded for cumulative points, rather than those which you have in your points bank to spend. This is one of, if not the, easiest 'hard' badge to acquire. Group slow enemies in the center of the map by circle-strafing, then pick off the faster enemies one at a time. The game will only allow a certain number of enemies to be on-screen at once. Unless you mindlessly run into an enemy you didn't see, there's little reason you should be taking any damage.
As far as this type of game goes, I really enjoyed it. I liked having the reticle visible, which isn't often the case in this genre. I would have liked to have seen easy and medium badge types available to add an incentive for kongregate players to see what else this game has to offer, as the survival mode wasn't the highlight in my experience.

Easier than expected. Here's some tips :
1. Shop - Save for the minigun. You can buy the shotgun, the uzi, or the assault rifle if you feel like you don't have enough fire power.
2. Fight - Don't kill everyone immediately. The spawning rate of the enemies seems to depend on how many are on the map and you can reduce this rate to nearly zero. From the start, turn in circles around a group of enemies placed at the center without firing at them (except for those who are faster than you) while pointing your weapon at the nearest border to take care of the newcomers. When you don't encounter any new enemies, kill one at the center and you'll see a few spawning as a result. Using this technique it will allow you to play the game at your own pace.

so, i played til day 23 or 24... got over 100k points in the bank... then, let myself die... after the calculations.... i had over 225k points... NO BADGE!! NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF MY SCORE!! still says my best is 58k... WTF?!?!?

just make it to day 20 minimum, to get the badge, it will be 20x5000 = 100.000 and you can spent all you want or day 18 with 10k points,

theres only 2 thing I don't like about this game 1. it's too easy I when from handgun to minigun while only having to buy 2k worth of health 2. I don't like the fact that you have to point at them or behind them if you want to shoot them. other than those thing I give it a 5/5

What kind of thought went into making this game and I'm not just talking about the boring premise. I'm talking about who thought it was a good idea to 1. Have no quality settings or settings to turn off blood, and 2. Having blood persist through rounds. 10 rounds in and there is so much garbage on the screen the game lags until it is unplayable. 2/5 for me, only here for the achievement.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
first step: survive until you get minigun. should be around day 10 if you haven't bought any weapons and only bought health packs once or twice. buy small health packs. survive days worth 5000 each until you get hard badge. this can be done on any difficulty. Move in circle around the map when being chased. if there is just a few enemies stand in the middle until you know where they come from. kill fastests enemies first or they will kill you. if you experience lag rightclick to get your flash options and set storage to unlimited.

ultimate survival's screen background is so bad. the background and enemies have almost the same contrast, which makes them hard to see.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Here is a little hint for achivment: ddont buy any until the end of day 6 then buy weapon for 4000 then again save until day 10 and buy minigun. After lvl always start lvl with full hp. Always kill all enemy whos faster then you and let alive slow one's until no more enemy can enter the area. If you trapped then focus robot enemy first expect if he to close.

The game itself is amazing, but it needs work on its lag issues because I am now on my twelfth attempt of failing because I lagged, absolutely losing control of my character. That's a real pain when you just grinded your way to day 13.

The first thing I looked for was an option to disable the music. Sorry man, but it seriously detracted from the game.

I found that the best way to get the achievement is to use the pistol until you can afford to buy the mini-gun. Then "KILL" every thing that walks in front of you. Good Luck!!!

You have to atleast pass level 15 to be sure you get the badge. And don't let a whole mob pile on you or else you die.

Someone should explain me why you have time to go shopping at the end of every day but you don't have 1 second to reload the weapon...

This game would be alot better if the switch weapons command on Ultimate Survival wasnt mapped to the friggin Q button. It is really hard to avoid monsters and press Q at the same time on later levels, especially when the reaction timing is key. Anbother thing that bothered me was the fact that there is no left-hand mode and you can only use the WASD keys to move.
