That mission most certainly IS offered by Ouroboros (level range 1-15, contact The Radio, listed as "Steal the Outbreak Virus"), and I'm looking at it right now. The only badge I can think of offhand that is not available via Ouroboros red-side is Efficiency Expert.|

Is the Wiki out of date, or is there in fact a bunch of badges that can never be gotten? |
Exactly why do you say the wiki is "out of date"? Are you making sure you're looking at www.paragonwiki.com, and not the old no-longer-maintained wikia site?

This is the page I am on. But thank you for confirming this. I will ensure I do the efficiency expert arc in real time.

Right page. Many villain accomplishment badges are part of the flashback arcs.|

Efficiency Expert is the only badge that you can't flashback to in one form or another. It is a one-chance badge.

I still do not see the listings of these missions on that page, other than to note at the bottom what are badge missions for villians. (Specifically not up above in the missions available by level/contact)

Good luck.

You might want to look in the "Summary/Notes" column... Just saying.|

For instance, if you look at "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" in the summary/notes column it says "6 Door Missions (1 Defeat All), 1 Hunt, Includes badge mission for Paragon of Vice."
The information is there.

Even if they weren't available via Oruborous you could still use the old method of teaming with a lowbie with it.

Actually that list that Lothic pointed to was only for the stand alone missions, and not the ones that the original poster was asking for. Blondeshell didn't add the arc missions to that list until 4 days after the post you quoted from me. And even then it isn't complete at the moment.

Since Pither is a level 45-50 contact, you can't outlevel him. So you only have to worry about failing any of the timed missions.

It seemed to me the OP saw the arcs just fine, but was specifically missing the Accomplishment missions on the list. The list Lothic pointed to shows the Ouro category, arc name and level cap, which is exactly what it sounded like the OP needed to look at to find the badge missions. |

On a side note, Blondeshell didn't just add that "Villain Badge Mission" list 4 days after your post. It's been there for a while. From the edit history, it looks like all that was changed in that section was the addition of a few more level caps. Whether or not the missions are included up higher and complete or not is even more reason for the OP to be linked directly to the badge mission section rather than the general Arc listing.

Does this work for alignment changes when I take a hero to villain? Will I be able to get Pither as a contact to do these missions and a chance at the badge?

Yes. A lvl 50 Hero can become a Villain and get Pither as a contact by doing Bank missions.

Added to that section:
* [[Willy Wheeler#Defeat all Arachnos Personnel|There's a Sucker Born Every Minute]] (level 19)
* [[Lorenz Ansaldo#Take Down Sea Witch|Carpe Diem]] (level 24)
* [[Darrin Wade#Go over the plan|Midnight Draws Near]] (level 29)

Yes. My scrapper already has the Efficiency Expert badge at this time. At default settings, as I recall, the 15 minute timed mission took me 4 minutes and the 30 minute ones took between 8 and 12 each. Beating the timer is very easy if you have reasonable damage output. Stealth also helps. A very low damage build might want to bring a DPS pal with them.

Yeah, my Ill/Emp stealthed most of it. If any player is worried about the arc, I'd suggest that they get Pilther as a contact, then copy that character to the test server to practice the arc before attempting to do it on live.

That's not even the point. Like I said before, most of the information the OP was looking for (including the badge they specifically mentioned) was directly spelled out in that section for quite some time and was correctly linked to by Lothic. I don't see the point in nit-picking over one or two missions that may or may not have been included at the time. Like you said.. it's all on the same page anyway. Why criticize Lothic for pointing the OP further down the page to a useful area?
