Solid Gold, Baby! (50 G)

Solid Gold, Baby! (50 G) Earn any 70 Gold Medals on Missions, Strangers and Freaks.

Considering that this Achievement is worth 50 G it is one of the ones that sort of stands out in the list -- and one of the ones that has most players concerned since getting 70 gold medals seems almost impossible. It is not.

What you want to do though is remember that the chances of you getting 70 gold medals during your regular play through are non-existent. There is a very good reason for that too -- you were not meant to. Specifically many (most) of the missions and S&F have requirements for gold that you would need to know about before doing the missions AND that require you to do things or behave in a way you would not ordinarily do as you play.

Are we suggesting that you were meant to replay these missions? Yes. Yes we are. Because you were.

On the bright side when you DO replay them, in the replay menu is spells out precisely what you are supposed to be doing to get gold -- specifically what requirements you need to meet.

The following list of missions and S&F represent the ones that we found the most easy to gold -- but YMMV. Still, if you are having trouble with this we recommend you include the following in your replay list:

To access the replay menus open the Pause Menu (Start) then select GAME and then the appropriate menu to get the list. Then simply select one of the listed missions and review its requirements before starting the mission and fulfilling them.

Bear in mind that when you replay missions the game will save your current location and then insert you into the mission, and once you complete it you can either replay it or continue, at which point the game will put you back where you were when you first opened the menu.

You can NOT use the replay system to do things like manipulate stocks on the Stock Market, just saying...
