The scoreboard turned red and the timer snapped down to eighty seconds. I froze, fingers hovering over the controls as the turret hummed. The timer was a guillotine.
On Steam the medals are visible but the rules are buried in installation files. I opened those files, pulled every threshold into a single list, and trimmed the noise so you can chase Gold with purpose.

I’m telling you this because you don’t have to sift through XML or JSON. I cross-referenced the installation data with in-game testing and the only thing left was refining how you approach each mission. Medal targets are a recipe book: precise measures, exact timing.
How do I get all gold medals in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator?
Short answer: meet every Gold threshold listed for each mission below, keep friendly fire at zero where required, and spend requisition only when it won’t bust the cap. Use the Steam client to verify game files and SteamDB to confirm the version if anything seems off.
What are the gold requirements for each mission in IRON NEST?
Below are the exact Gold figures pulled from the game’s installation files. Treat them as the checklist you run through after every attempt. I recommend recording runs with OBS Studio if you want to audit mistakes and post clips to Reddit or the Steam Community for feedback.
Note: IRON NEST retail price on Steam listed at $19.99 (€18) at the time of writing—buying on sale is common on Steam and the game runs on PC and Steam Deck.

I’ll add the two skirmishes and White Shells once I extract their thresholds from the next patch and verify them in-game. For practical runs: use OBS Studio for recording, Discord or the Steam Community to trade tactics, and Steam’s Verify integrity tool if any medal counts behave oddly. Which mission will you farm first?
