Master Medal of Honor: Rising Sun's medal system! Learn how to achieve Gold in Accuracy, Bonus Objectives, and minimize Hits Taken for every level.

Alright, let's talk about medals in Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. These aren't just pretty badges; they're your proof of mastering each level. Getting a Gold medal in a level means you absolutely crushed it in three key areas: Accuracy, Bonus Objectives, and Hits Taken. Nail these, and you'll be swimming in shiny awards!

Medals Explained:

• American Defence Service — This is awarded for serving on active duty between September 8, 1939, and December 7, 1941.
• Navy Distinguished Service — Given for exceptionally meritorious service to the government in a duty of great responsibility.
• Phillipine Defense — Earned by all servicemen for defending the Philippines between December 8, 1941, and June 15, 1942.

How to Get Gold Medals:

To snag that coveted Gold medal for a level, you've gotta hit the mark in these categories:

• Accuracy — You'll need to keep your accuracy above 75%.
• Bonus Objectives — You must complete two of these per level. Keep an eye out for secrets and specific tasks!
• Hits Taken — This number varies from level to level, so you'll need to play smart and avoid unnecessary damage.

Accuracy Tips:

• Try to only shoot when your aim is actually on the enemy. Don't just spray and pray!
• Heads-up: Melee attacks and grenades don't count towards your accuracy rating.
• Machinegun nests also don't contribute to your accuracy score.
• Only weapons that use limited ammo will count towards your accuracy.
• If an enemy hasn't spotted you, you can actually improve your accuracy by shooting them in the foot multiple times before going for the kill. It sounds weird, but it works!

Bonus Objective Tips:

• Make sure you explore every nook and cranny of the map. You never know when you'll stumble upon something that's part of a bonus objective.
• Don't be afraid to consult this guide to find out exactly what the bonus objectives are for each level. Knowing them beforehand makes a huge difference.

Hits Taken Tips:

• Always try to use cover. Peek around corners before you expose yourself.
• Master the art of Circle Strafing to dodge enemy fire.
• Normal strafing and quick dodges can help you avoid explosions.
• Your best defense is a good offense: shoot the enemy before they can get a shot off on you.
• Keep moving! Standing still makes you an easy target for the enemy.
