Balls of Steel achievement help
By Liquidsnakehpks-joa
Balls of Steel achievement is a hard one to get in The game , It basically Requires you to score 1,000,000 in a pinball machine game.

You will find the first pinball machine in the Duke cave . So its best to do this right there as you can also get a ego boost for that level and the achievement as well.
Many people suggest using the finish game first and use speed cheat that unlocks, you will not get the ego achievement in the first run if you do that forcing you to do all ego boosts again in second run, hence get this asap in first run.

Many might already know this but Here is how to do it without breaking your hands or the mouse.
1.) When you are near the pinball machine, Go to settings - controls and rebind your primary attack and zoom buttons from (left click , right click)
To something like N,M or any keys on the Keyboard Trust me its much easier to use the Keyboard for this.
2) First you will want to get as many points multipliers as possible ie x2 or x3 , The simple way of doing it is just launch and let the ball touch the top 3 dots.
3) once you get maximum multipliers , You have to hold the ball with your top left flipper, like i have done in the image above, Its pretty simple to do it . when the ball is anywhere above or near to the top left flipper . press left arrow on keyboard to move the ball to the Left and hold the ball.
4) So assuming , you have gotten at least 2x or 3x multipliers and held the ball in the top left flipper. Now the fun begins , you should see Three targets close to the fliper, just gently launch the ball and it should hit at least 2 out of 3 , launch again to get the third one.
If the ball tries to get away from the flipper press left arrow on Keyboard to bring it back to the flipper. Once 3 are down you should get a point boost and they should come up again as well. Repeat this for about 10 mins and you should be able to get the achievement score . Like i did in the image above.
5) Warning , you should only press the left arrow once in 5 seconds or the machine will TILT and game over
6) Remember rebind your attack and zoom keys back to the mouse after it.
7) "Balls of Steel"

This is good to know if I can stop knocking my ball straight down. I’ll get this on my next play through. After an hour of failing I need to move on.

As an alternate method; I've just got this by playing on 25% speed and well, by casually tilting my way between the upper trio of jumpers and the multiplier lines above them, with my first ball, without ever touching the flippers... in 6-8 minutes or so.

KirmieB - Incorrect, This game has a bad smell to it

Not true. Real pinball wizards play by sense of smell and games don't have smell yet.

real pinball wizards don't need a guide for this simple table ;)
