First of, what are the accolades?
Accolades are something that exists in this game which may give you extra xp if you managed to get them in a single lobby match(just having single accolade doesnt permanetely increase your xp gain, sorry)

You can find a dedicated section in the profile section with a tab that is named accolades



There is a limit on how many accolades you can have. if you have maxed out something then it would show up as maxed with golden outline around it


the problem here is that because very few know how to get them. and to be honest. that one wiki somehow exists has technically an article about accolades(named achievements) but here i would like to do my own style. so i will go over few and maybe help me out on some of the ones that arent mentioned on the wiki
Types of Accolades
There has been multipile type of accolades with distinct design on them.
sadly i cannot make sense most of them but i can try my best to explain them to you

Kill-Related Accolades

Kill-related accolades have Blue-ish border and white in the middle. As the name suggests they are mostly kill related(e.g headshots, multi-kills, killstreaks)
These accolades are mostly easy to get in gamemodes such as Bot TDM and Bot Original(Yes both of those gamemodes gonna be common sight when comes to grinding accolades, its also possible in Basic and non-bot gamomodes but yk)

Easiest accolade to get from kill-related ones is Headshot Medal, meanwhile hardest one could be Grenade Kill Medal or Unbelieveable Medal

Specific Accolades

Specific accolades have beige looking border with slightly lighter colored stripes on sides and as usual white in the middle
I call them specific accolades as its still kill-related but they are more specific such as Getting the first kill of the round, getting last kill of the round or kill the worst player of the team.

Some of these are easy. but its better to grind ones such as Finisher or first blood in Original or Basic(or basically any gamemode with rounds and pvp involved)

Assist Accolades

Assist accolades have light gray-looking color at the edges and dark green as border with gray-looking stripes in the middle

They are mostly support-assist related, they can be easy depending on if youre with a human player or not.

Hardest one to get is supporter medal cause you need to get 5 assists without dying, porbaly without accidentally killing and Golden Thumbs Up Accolades(HAVE NO IDEA LITEREALLY)

Original/Basic Related Accolades

Original/Basic Related accolades have beige looking border with orange colour in the middle

Those gamemodes are original and basic specific. with most possible ones being Bomb defusal involved. meanwhile there is also a single hostage rescue accolade to be obtained

Bomb-related accolades that involve planting, blocking defuse, blocking plant are painfull to get as they require alot of rounds to be doable(You need min 20 rounds). i suggest doing these with bots. even if bomb block related stuff can be difficult. As for hostage one. its easy with bots. as no player wants to play hostage rescue gamemode

Zombie Gamemode related Accolades

Zombie gamemode related accolades have red black stripes as their design

I dont play zombie gamemodes alot so most of the accolades here are something i dont have know how to obtain sadly. There is a bot version of the zombie gamemode. although i dont play it. im sorry.

For weird reasons some of the zombie gamemode related achievements can be done in other gamemodes(e.g Swift Accolade, Superior Accolade) which makes them very easy and you could even get them while trying to get other accolades

"Hard" Accolades

"Hard" Accolades have design similar to kill-related accolades, lighter blue in the borders with white in middle that has yellow stripes

i call them Hard. but really they dont have any specific relation to any of the accolades. they are sepreated just because they feel like it.

It only consists of 3 accolades. and i have no idea how to get chicken chaser so

Zombie Scenario Accolades

Zombie Scenario Accolades have red edges, dark red border with yellow stripe on sides and white in the middle

Those are zombie scenario related, because its the most popular gamemode these are one of most obtainable accolades here.

You may slightly struggle with Termination Ribbion or Combo Medal but other than that. they are easy for the most part

"Why its the odd one out"

Last Alive Medal for some reason its the only odd one out with not any other similar design with White Borders and dark red in the middle. Really though why is it like this? i have no idea

You need min of atleast 15 rounds avabile in single match lobby in order to have a chance at getting this
Getting Kill-Related Accolades
As said in types of accolades. those are mostly kill related ones
Strategy to grinding them mostly involves being at Bot Original and Bot Team Deathmatch 24/7, although you can get them without AI(Bot) if you wish(You can also try Basic, but if you dont have a +8 M14 EBR, you may as well just suffer)

Headshot Medal

You need to get 25 headshots. Its very simple and one of most common accolades that can be obtained in the game which is the reason why its on top of the accolades list


Grenade Kill Medal

If youre playing with new classic or just classic restrictions this can be proven to be quite difficult.
You need to get 15 Grenade kills. it can be hard if you really dont have extra grenades or one of those overpowered transcendence grenades. Because of this its not that easy to get this accolade(and can be brutal to max it out)


Humiliation Medal

You need to get 20 melee kills.
This can be very easy if playing on knife match exclusive maps(Moonlight and Champion) or with knife match restriction.
Despite you can pull off knife match restriction on any map. i would just suggest grinding them on moonlight cause its small map and very easy to grind on.


Double Kill Medal

You need to get 20 Double kills. Very much possible in Bot Team Deathmatch with a small map. Its the second most common kill-related accolades you can get


Triple Kill Medal

You need to get 18 Triple Kills. It gets slightly difficult to obtain in regular non-bot matches but its still doable


Multi Kill Medal

You need to get 16 Multi Kills, its hardest of all multi-kill related achievements. but its still very easy so it shouldnt be too hard.


Excellent Medal

You need to get 5 killstreak 14 times. Your killstreak resets after you die so. on Bot-matches you can just feed to bot and get 5 killstreak again. repeat until you gotten it 14 times. This will be common theme along other killstreak accolades


Incredible Medal

Ah yes. 10 killstreaks, 11 times. Yes of course getting 10 killstreak 11 times could be easy on paper. but then again considering You need to get killstreak reset which only happens after you die. This is practically only doable in bot matches as i dont think you can find 10 players in an original/basic gamemode aganist you(unless its a populated lobby for some reason. which in that case. Ace it!)


Crazy Medal

Get 15 Killstreaks 8 times. Its still problematic to obtain as you can see i only got it ONCE. and that was when i was dedicating my time grinding for it in Rooftops map. You still need to reset killstreak so practically at this point its better to do it in Team deathmatch


Unbelieveable Medal

Getting 20 Killstreaks 5 times is in still similar territory as Crazy medal. at that point stop with Original gamemode to grind this accolade for. as clearly you can see resetting killstreak is at its finest when comes to both crazy and unbelieveable medal


Out of this World Medal

"Get 25 killstreaks 2 times, Nice!" as in-game descripton says. This is easiest to get out of all killstreaks in team deathmatch/deathmatch ironically. as you only need to reset killstreak once as soon as you get 25 killstreak
Getting Specific Accolades
Specific accolades type is just slightly horrible to grind for. As much as i liked to have every single on this type. too bad i am missing something. i can porbaly suggest you should do 2 of the specific accolades in bot Original instead of TDM or something else as rounds are required to be involved in trying to get the accolade

First Blood Medal

Get the first kill of a match or round 10 times. quickest way to get it is in original with Score to Win set to higher than 21, If you dont want leniency when you can go ahead do 13 wins instead


Welcome Medal

You must perform "Welcome" which is counted when you get a kill after 5 respawns(3 respawns in one round) atleast 7 times. i need to grind this one out to see how hard it is for myself. im yet to obtain this


Comeback Medal

You must perform "Comeback" which is counted when you get a kill after 3 respawns(2 respawns in one round) atleast 10 times. This is more consistent in TDM/DM, although you may need to get yourself killed 3 times before you can do comeback


Dethroned Medal

You need to kill the best player of the enemy team 15 times.
Best player in this context means whoever was top scoring on the enemy team. Make sure to look at scoreboard by pressing tab and targetting whoever was on top of the scoreboard


Bully Medal

You need to kill the worst player of the enemy team 25 times. What a meanie you have become.
Worst player in the context means whoever was bottom scoring. Again make sure to look at scoreboard by pressing tab. and instead of targetting whoever was on top of the scoreboard. you start targetting someone whos in bottom of the scoreboard. if its Gun Deathmatch most likely you would find someone who is bottom fragging easily.

Fun Fact: The Weapon thats in the icon is persumably QBB95(or QBZ95B)


Payback Medal

You must get 20 Revenge kills. There is a dedicated revenge medal that is named Avenger(Bitter? there is too many alternative names)
The Idea of revenge is supposed to be simple. You die to someone. you kill that someone who killed you.


Savior Medal

Kill 15 enemies that are attacking your allies.
Its simple as that. If an enemy is attacking your teammate(and if he didnt stop mid-way through the attack or your teammate die) You kill that enemy. Do this 15 times and hopefully you get the accolade that way


Finisher Medal

This is Opposite of First Blood Medal.
Kill the last enemy of the round(or match) 15 times. I recommend doing this in Original as its quicker
Getting Assist Accolades
Assists are mostly support related so just supporting your teammates can easily get you one of the accolades. Although in order to get a assist you must attack the enemy together with your teammate and hope you didnt do the final blow and your teammate does

Maybe try using pistol to keep injuring enemy. hope that gives enough time for a teammate to finish off before assist timeframe is over. this is the primary strategy i can suggest. but there could be obivously better strategies to consistenty get assists

Assist Medal

Get 30 Assists. Match needs to be long for leniency. can be easy if it wasnt for high number


Supporter Medal

You must get 5 assists without dying 10 times. This is very painfull one as i think progress for supporter gets reset once you get a kill. which means you really need to use a low damage weapon and hope you dont get accidentally kill someone

Thank goodness accolade progress persisting through matches otherwise getting this one in a single match is very painfull to do. Not to mention its very hard even on Bot matches. You really need a friend otherwise. just with the bots is not gonna cut it
You may flex this accolade(maybe?)


Tag Along Medal

Assist the best team member in killing of the enemy 20 Times.
Basically the person who gives final blow while you injure has to be a top scorer. this is porbaly hard to get as if you are the top scorer. i cant be sure if you can get the Tag Along, Again getting it in single match is difficult due to fact you need to assist topscorer 20 times


Invisible Hand Medal

Assist in killing of the best player on enemy team 20 times

Its essentially opposite of Tag Along, the final blow has to be done by teammate aganist a top scoring enemy player. Getting it in single match is difficult because you guessed it. High number that is 20 times


Golden Thumbs Up Accolades

Yeah i have no idea how to get this one. its also placed in-between of 2 "Hard" Accolades so im not sure if its really related to assisting
Getting Original/Basic Related Accolades
Most of those can be done on Original(AI), Original and Basic. A Thing to note is that most of those do require Score To Win to be set high number for leniency.
By regular play. i mean not 1v1 or 1v2 cases. the more casual stuff that are 5v5 or 8v8

Bomb Planter Medal

Plant the bomb 20 times.
Set Score To Win to 25 for leniency and if you are doing it with bots. set bot teammates to be low amount(maybe like 1 or 2 bot teammates and you) so you can consistently get the bomb. or if you can take it alone. set it to 0. And just for good measure set amount of enemy bots to be low number that you can handle. this can be annoying overall accolade to get

And oh, please dont die. that could decrease your chances


Plant Blocker Medal

Kill the planter while he is planting 10 times. They really shouldve brought backup(unless they dont have one in first place)

The Way i did this is to do 1v1 with an bot on original at a bomb defusal map. Because bots often try to chase down someone they see. and they can stop planting if they see someone. the best way you can do is place down claymores or something similar. alternatively you could do painfull way i did on stadium which is to wallbang the only bomb planting bot with a high wallbreak penetration weapon

if you are going with 1v1 method. you can just set Score To Win to 17 for leniency. although if you are planning to do it regular bot match style(or regular match style i guess) Go with max possible score to win which is 33

This can be cheesed if you have a friend who is willing to 1v1 feed kills to you on original


Defuse Blocker Medal

Kill the enemy whos in middle of defusing the bomb 10 times. Man those are really some noisy defusal kits

I used similar method to get this accolade. instead of 1v1, its 1v2 aganist 2 bots. Camp in one spot until you hear defuse sound and then kill the defuser. the other enemy bot will try to defuse it too which gives you more chances(same thing can be done with plant blocker but its more consistent with defuse blocker)

For leniency with my method. set score to win to 17, If youre doing regular. Maybe 17 could be also done right provided that bot teammates(or your teammates) dont go recklessly hunting down the remaining enemies. i prefer 21 for regular play

This can be also cheesed if you have a friend who is willing to 1v1 feed kills to you on original


Bomber Kill Medal

Kill the bomb carrier 20 times

This can be done regular matches easily. same goes with 1v1 or 1v2 strats. and can be also cheesed. Although you may need to set score to win above 20 if you are going with 1v1 or 1v2 strat or cheesing the accolade. Its defienetely easier compared to other accolades


Rescue Medal

You must succesfully rescue 5 hostages.

Do note that it has to be yourself that rescue hostage and not a teammate. Most maps have 4 hostages but few do have more than 5. its the easiest out of all original/basic accolades
Getting The Odd One Out
This is just odd one out. really why does this exists?

Last Alive Medal

Be the last team member alive in a round 15 times. there is an easy way where having only a single teammate along with you could make this easily obtainable on original(ai) with score to win set to 17.
Its also possible with regular matches. although no one wants to stay afk in spawn until every single teammate dies(an easy kick out of the lobby/match if it happens)
Getting Zombie Gamemode related Accolades
This is the most unfinished part of the guide as i simply dont play alot of zombie gamemodes. Due to this. i need most help on this. i will edit the guide with contributor on here.

Infector Medal

Infect 8 humans in a single round 10 times

This is the one i havent unlocked yet. Considering you need to infect 8 humans in single round 10 times. its sort of possible but hard in zombie ai incase you dont want to bother with players


Liberator Medal

Kill 6 zombies in a round 10 times

To be fair. i did a very long match of Zombie AI with 33 rounds(and 2mins round timer) so im not sure how much leniency you need but i need to say that you would need a very powerfull weapon to kill a zombie(i did it with Barret M95 White tiger)


'Tis but a Zombie Bomb Ribbon

As in-game descripton nicely puts it "Achieved After 15 instances of a human damaged by zombie bomb being infected within 4 seconds, or when a zombie that provided a bomb gets a kill"

Because such a complex descripton(Yes that ended up being true. thats how you get it)Needless to say doing it on Zombie AI requires alot of luck


Tanker Ribbon

As name suggests. You need to endure(basically tank) about 3000 damage or above 30 times.
I have no idea how i got it or why i have it back then. I can see this being difficult
As ingame descripton says
"Achieved when a human attack of 3000 or above is endured 30 times"


Well Rounded Medal

In a single Round. kill 2 zombies as a human and infect 3 humans as a zombie. This has to be done atleast 5 times. its semi-difficult in Zombie AI


Survival Accolades

Survive for 30 seconds in a single atleast 6 times. Easier to pull out in zombie ai provided you get very lucky


Healthy Accolade

No idea on this one, maybe related to healing perhaps?


Swift Accolade

Move 165m successfully atleast 15 times.
Due to the fact that its possible in any game mode makes this one very easy. and also very common accolade to obtain


Violent Accolade

Inflict 5000 damage in a single round 20 times
You porbaly already have good zombie killing weapons that deal high damage to begin with. so it shouldnt be that hard for you(unless you still have weak weapons. in that case good luck)

Its possible in any game mode although its less consistent on pvp gamemodes like TDM


Superior Accolade

Earned by setting the maximum damage record

Because of a mishap(most likely). its possible in any gamemode because of this. This accolade is so common and so easy to get. even at original(ai), most likely that its gonna be one of first accolade you will max out without any hard grinding


Hardy Accolade

Its another one of those tanking accolades. Earned by taking 5000 damage 18 times. not sure how easy it is although


Alluring Accoldate

No idea. what does the bat have to relate with it?


Shocking Accolade

Wish i knew. but i dont. im sorry

Hidden Accolade

Perhaps related to hiding somehow?
Getting Hard Accolades
Those accolades thave stuff unrelated to anything. due to this its very hard to sometimes guess what is required to get the accolade in first place. They also dont have any corresponding in-game badge. they only exist as accolades

Chicken Chaser

Kill atleast 10 chickens on cs_italy. Recommend playing on gamemodes with rounds in them as there is only 2 chickens spawning each round

Hope you like visitting italy every now and then


No Parachute!

There are multipile ways to get this. it technically says Die from falling 10 times. Although
basically dying from any of the stage hazard(trigger_hurt kind of hazard that isnt related to getting killed by someone else or zombie scenario npcs) would also count towards no parachute

Your best bet is picking a map like Vertigo, or a zombie scenario with most stage hazards and keep repeatedly dying to it
Gravity is a pretty difficult foe, huh?


MVP Medal

You must be the MVP of the round(or match. but thats unlikely)10 Times

At this point. if you are abusing Bot matches like i do. its most likely that you wouldve gotten it by now
Getting Zombie Scenario Accolades
Zombie Scenario is a very popular gamemode. Most accolades here are porbaly VERY common here.

Intoxication Ribbon

You need to use Recovery Potion 10 times.
Medical Kits do count as recovery potion. and i dont know what else counts as recovery potion



Will to Revive Ribbon

Use Combat Revive 2 times.
Make sure you have Battle Revival in stock. and if you die just press r to use it. You only need to use battle revival twice in order to get the Accolade



Max Level Ribbon

Reach max level for a character in a scenario mode.
This is pretty easy because how long usually scenario maps are. if i recall the max level for characters is around 100(above 100 if its a special character)

Professional Ribbon

Achieve 100 kills without dying atleast 5 times in scenario Mode

100 kills atleast above hard 2 diff(if i recall) is the min for most zombie scenario related even tasks. so its sort of a indicator that you already completed the task. This can be very easy if you use the meta weapons. provided you survive good enough to get the accolade


Untouchable

Clear scenario mode map without dying. This can be difficult on difficulties that above normal. Just rely on meta weapons and survival skills and it should be an easy accolade to clear


Destruction Ribbon

Descripton for it is misleading. It says destroy all obstacles in the scenario mode yourself but in reality its not that.

You need to give the final blow to a major obstacle in scenario which immediately gives you destruction ribbon. Considering how crowded zombie scenario can get. its mostly RNG if you get the final blow and destroy the obstacle or not.


Termination Ribbon

Similar story to destruction ribbon so im gonna repeat myself

Descripton for it is misleading. It says defeat the bosses in the scenario mode yourself but in reality its not that.

You need to give the final blow to the boss in scenario which immediately gives you termination ribbon. Considering how crowded zombie scenario can get. its mostly RNG if you get the final blow and defeat the boss or not.


Combo Medal

You need to succesfully achieve 100 combos.
It can be difficult to keep up with combos. but the fact that its made alot worser its 100 combos that is required to get the accolade
Final Thoughts and Conclusion
This accolades system really helps in terms of getting more xp and thus level up. Although some of the accolades are pain to get. such as with most of the C4 Bomb related accolades.
I wouldnt suggest that you max out every single accolades as that would may take like couple of years. especially how some of the grind is ridiclous

As for me. i suffered like few times until i discovered wiki page existing. although because it isnt updated with new CSNS accolades i thought about still sharing this.

I may edit this guide in future once i get some of the ones that i havent gotten yet(Specifically Infector and Supporter)
