Brick Wall Medal problem

Is there any specific way to get this medal? It is the last medal I need and Overachiever is the 2nd to last achievement I need (waiting on a bug fix for extra credit), but I cannot seem to get it. I have tried multiple times getting the hardlight shield and just running straight into swarms of flood but get no medal. Is there any chance that the infection forms are just evading the shield and hitting me in the side of the body? or is one infection form popping causing a chain reaction of the swarm popping before they make contact with the shield? I am extremely confused as to why I’m not getting this medal at all.

If anyone can tell me how they got the medal and how easy/hard it was that would be greatly appreciated.

There also seems to be a low population online so if anyone wanted to help me just say and I’ll try get back to you.

EDIT: After realizing the title “Brick Wall Medal” (what I was originally going to call this) had already been taken, I looked through older posts and found this so now I know a way I can get it, but like I said before there isn’t many people searching online so if anyone wants the can still help me get it.

EDIT 2: After knowing that I couldn’t take any damage I’ve finally gotten this medal/achievement so if the mods want this thread can be locked now.

One infection form can burst others and is likely preventing it from tallying up. You’ll need to coordinate with teammates as being shot by an enemy while attempting it can prevent you from getting the medal. They’ll need to keep armed enemies off you while you find a good choke point or stream of enemies.

Okay thanks for the info, now I know what I’m doing I should be able to get it easily.

You need to do this without taking damage. I’ve done this and gotten it for several friends so far.

Boot up mission 5 in coop… Grab the hard-light shield located on the east side of the map, about midway up. Then make a break to the outside of the east side of the map, go all the way to the north, then go west until you reach a flood spore. Get your partner situated below you to shoot the flood that carry rifles while you activate the hard light shield and point it straight against the area the flood spores spawn out of. You’ll get the medal in about three seconds of sitting there.

If you run into any issues feel free to PM me on here or friend me on XBox live (my GamerTag is the same as my username on here) Good luck, I’m sure you’ll get it soon… And by the way, if you find a way to get that bugged Extra Credit achievement, do let me know… :wink:
