Are all challenges/badges possible on all difficulties?

[Iso Koala]

I know there are some badges that arent doable on the same run and you gotta do the stage multiple times in different ways. But out of curiosity; are all of those possible on Desperado difficulty? No, I am not even going to try some, as Desperado is hard enough as it is.

But for example badge like in last mission "dont kill anyone", can you really get through some parts (like the bridges near the end of the stage) without killing? Speedruns would seem insane too on that difficulty, and some "dont use ability X" ones.

Every badge is possible on all difficulties.

Every badge and challenge is possible to do in any difficulty except complete mission on hard or desperados. Also if you hunt for badges achievement, you can skip all speedruns and some of others since there is more than enough badges to do it.

Seems that its not actually the case, but to different reasons than expected. Doing some missed badges, and one of them is "Kill 3 guards with dogs" in Back Alley Jazz. But on Easy difficulty, the map doesnt have a single dog in it, thus its impossible to get in that setting.

Yeah that one is true. For that badge you have to be on hard or desperados. luckily you can knock people out and kill them with dog. also if i remember you don't get any extra mind controls so you have to save them all for dog.

Probably some of the harder ones are impossible to do at the same time, even if they arent those choose left/right ones? For example, can you do Mission 12 (Dirt and blood) badges "Choose left path", "dont use Cooper skills", and "Dont use a disguise" on the same run on Desperado difficulty? There is just too many enemies to handle if you can only use only Hector properly.

Huh. I never played on easy so I never considered that a possibility.

It is possible with that combination. It's even possible to do Cooper's solo part undetected on Desperado.
