Gold Tournament

Gold Tournament

This tournament is unlocked once you complete the Silver Tournament.

Untouchable
6,500 Bolts, 1 Gold Bolt

As the title suggests, you'll have to complete this challenge without taking so much as a single hit. You'll be up against 5 waves of enemies, so it can be a bit daunting. The golden rule: never EVER stop moving when there are enemies on the field. You can't take any chances.

Keep your distance at all times as well. You need as much time as possible to avoid incoming fire. Moving backwards at all times (being careful not to fall in to the lava) and rotating to face enemies you want to eliminate is a good strategy here.

Use weapons with good range, and those with good power. Try not to focus on only one enemy at a time, the whole battlefield needs to be in view. You can walk around the edge of the arena in circles facing the inside to achieve this, and this is especially important in the final waves as there will be Agorians throwing Clusterbombs at you.

There are 2 ways to get rid of the enemies: you can use your powerful weapons at the start and then gradually move down the weapons chain as you proceed through the battle, or you can save your powerful weapons 'till last. Both strategies work, you've just got to go about it right.

Endangered Species
7,500 Bolts, 1 Zoni

In this challenge, you'll be up against Agorians for 3 minutes straight. The golden rule applies here too: do not stop moving, or you'll be killed by the Clusterbombs flying left, right and center. Don't try to kill the Agorians on the elevated platforms, they'll just come back. It's the ones that spawn on the arena that you'll want to kill.

When they do start coming, simply kill them with your Negotiator as they spawn. They won't pose a threat before a while, but eventually you'll run out of ammo and won't be able to keep up. Once that happens, you'll have to use other weapons to fend them off. Unlike the Agorians on the elevated platform, the ones on the arena will keep spawning almost indefinitely, so keep killing them. Mr. Zurkon and some Tesla Spikes in the middle of the arena do wonders.

The Quick and the Dead
8,000 Bolts, Armour Magnitiser

Like the Gone in 60 Seconds challenge, this one requires you to kill a certain number of enemies in a specified amount of time. This time, it's 100 enemies in 120 seconds, and you'll be facing some Agorians towards the end. In this challenge, you need to focus on efficiency, killing enemies quickly and without wasting ammo.

Don't underestimate the power of your wrench. Even though you might lose half your health, use it in the initial stages to kill the weaker enemies, even the ones with claws. You'll save a lot of ammo for when you actually need it to kill the tougher enemies, especially the Agorians. Keep a Mr. Zurkon out at all times, and throw during the last minute.

With your weapons, once you stop using the wrench, that doesn't mean that you can't use it again. Pull it out if you've got a few small, weak/dying enemies near you, it'll actually benefit you. Start with your weaker weapons, leaving your Negotiator and Plasma Striker for last. Your Constructo Weapons should be the first ones you use. Never stop killing. If you need time to think, open
your Quick Select and chill out.

Agorian Roulette
8,500 Bolts, 1 Constructo Mod

Every 20 seconds during this challenge, your weapon will be switched at random. This removes a lot of the control you once had, but the challenge is by no means impossible. The good thing is that you don't need to worry about ammo, as there will be ammo boxes everywhere to refill your ammo. Your success will be somewhat dependant on the weapons you have and what levels they're at.

I can't provide any sort of in-depth strategy, it all depends on the weapons you have, but remember the basics and you should be fine. Always be on the move, don't stop firing, and remember that you always have your trusty wrench if you need it. You'll get the Galvanic Mod for your Constructo Shotgun (even though you don't have the actual gun yet).

Double Jeopardy
9,000 Bolts, Constructo Shotgun

This is a tag team battle between the War Grok and the Elite Hydra Tank. This will strain your ammo supply and test your survival skill, but so long as you follow the strategies mentioned in the individual boss fights this challenge will be passable. Every time a boss loses 1 third of it's health, it'll do what it did in the individual battle, and then it'll swap places with the other boss.
