Official material establishes the medal system and one historical fix. No current-build threshold table has been independently reproduced.
There is no trustworthy public table for every IRON NEST medal requirement yet. The Steam store says the game contains more than 100 in-game medals, while Steam achievements are tracked separately. A Steam achievement should not be used as proof of a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal condition unless the game itself connects them.
The clearest version warning comes from Rock of Gibraltar. Patch 4 says its final two medals had been unobtainable and were fixed in Build 1618. The note confirms the bug and the fix. It does not publish the current thresholds.
What is established so far
| Question | Current answer |
|---|---|
| Are medals and Steam achievements the same system? | No. They are presented and tracked separately. |
| Does the game advertise more than 100 medals? | Yes. This figure appears on the official Steam store page. |
| Were Rock of Gibraltar medals affected by a bug? | Yes. Patch 4 fixed the final two medals being unobtainable. |
| Is there a complete official threshold table? | No public versioned table has been found. |
| Are copied community numbers safe to treat as current? | No. A patch can change a mission or repair a condition without publishing every new value. |
If you are chasing a medal now
Take a screenshot of the medal text and result screen before retrying. Record the game build, mission, route, time, shots, requisition, and any optional objective you completed. Change one variable on the next attempt. That gives you a better chance of identifying whether the medal reacts to time, accuracy, resources, or a hidden objective.
When a route stops working after an update, check the patch history before assuming the requirement changed. The failure may come from a repaired mission state, an older save, or advice written for a previous build.
Community discussions remain useful for finding conditions worth testing. They do not become independent confirmation when several sites repeat the same unsourced table.
