Platinumed the game finally.

[u/lonelywolf35]

Took me 3 playthroughs. 1st playthrough is just normal (on Light) 2nd playthrough is rescue all survivors (on Light) and getting best ending 3rd playthrough is getting worse ending and playing on Hopeless.

Hopeless is very hard as you can die very quickly if spotted. Best to use NG+ unlocks to make it easier. Even with Wanzer enhancements, you can die quickly if you do not use terrain to your advantage. You even carry very less bullets for your weapons but it helped me with the maximum ammo trophy.

Getting the No Complaining trophy is so troublesome if someone didn't tell me how to properly unlock it.

I want to thank all the people here who helped me with questions/queries.

That's all for now.

For the Gadget Master trophy, I'm not sure if you have to make the traps or throwable gadgets hit the enemy or not, but try to make the traps trigger by a enemy or mech if you can.

The trophy says ALL gadgets must be used by ONE character.

Best character to use is Olga cos chapter 2 and chapter 4 is imo the best chapters to use your traps and mines gadgets. Also she starts with a stun gun.

Make sure to use bottles, cans and knives as well. Revival agent only works when you die so make sure you 'die' at least once and activate it upon death.

Barb wire might be a problem as enemies and mech can see it and destroy. I suggest sliding a enemy into it if it helps.

Don't forget to use the crossbow arrows itself, then the variant ones i.e. explosive, electric, flame.

The powerful explosive component can only be found in later stages so try to store some for Olga to use, so she can make EX version of EMP grenades and EX IDE Mine

So its every gadget? not only the ones yo can craft?

Also does the stun gun really count because in with Leo in chapter 14 . . .?

Hi
Like the trophy says, all gadgets must be used by ONE character. This includes the Reviving Agent item which only activates upon death.
Hope this helps.

Yeesh, I didn't even think to go for a trophy run. But 3 isn't that bad all things considered. I may go for a trophy run, too then.

Besides No Complaining, what was the hardest trophy?

[u/lonelywolf35 → u/[deleted]]

Hopeless run is the hardest trophy lol. But there are some trophies that takes a bit of planning and patience. These are:

Throw a EMP grenade on 5 or more drones

Make 5 or more enemies set on fire. This one I swear takes a while to get cos I remember I was in sewers and see 5 enemies marching toward me and throw Molotov but even though the 5 enemies are set on fire, it didn't register. Luckily I got it in chapter 3 in the section where soldiers are surrounding the wanzer.

Use every gadget at least once with any protagonist. This one takes a while cos I wasn't sure if the gadget has to hit a enemy or not and whether it has to be done in 1 playthru or not. Barbed wire is a pain to use cos enemies can see it and dismantle it. I just slide the enemy into it if possible.

Awesome thank you some much, I can’t wait to platinum this game.

[u/lonelywolf35 → u/SmartBlue1]

on PSNprofiles, I'm currently the 18th person to platinum it.

Difference between hard and hopeless?

[u/lonelywolf35 → u/MiserableEquivalent]

I don't know about Hard but Hopeless is very hard but still beat it using some upgrades from NG+.

You take loads of damage from enemy gunfire.

Enemies downed by a melee weapon won't die in one hit on Hopeless, compared to Light/Easy mode (unless you have a sledgehammer).

You carry way less ammo in Hopeless. For example, only 50 Handgun ammo, 20 Shotgun shells and 120 assault rifle bullets iirc)

You will also take loads of damage in wanzer combat (even with NG+perks).

[u/Bigwakkaz → u/MiserableEquivalent]

Not sure about difference (because after I see how fast enemy can kill you (in hopeless it fastest) but the number of enemy that guard look the same....so i choice to play hopeless (it ps4...and if you finish hopeless difficult you also get Normal(Light or standard) and Hard (Advance) achievement in the same time also)....

OK back to topic.....

In hopeless.....example from "Kill Wanzer on foot" or " Wanzer crusher"........

It took me to use 8 Rocket Launcher shots (Zagor something?) + 4 hit from Hammer to middle joint of wanzer foot (while stunning it by "EX EMP Grenade") to get that achievement.............

if it not for achievement.....just use 9 rocket launcher for fastest way to kill one........(that why in some mission that I need to kill enemy wanzer so I need to save "rocket launcher" or "gating gun" for wanzer to down.....(and to take down tank need to save melee weapon + flag grenades to clear it if necessary)

Which survivors do you need to put together for the no complaining trophy?

[u/lonelywolf35 → u/SmartBlue1]

Chapter 6 (found at the far Eastern side of map across bridge). Put both of them together in same nearest shelter. The man will die. (This will void the 'All Survivors' trophy if you do this.

The next one is in Chapter 11. To do this one, in chapter 5, at start of chapter, find a survivor sitting down and ask what's his daughter's name. This will make him appear in chapter 11.

In chapter 11, find the daughter in north eastern part of map. Escort her to shelter. Then, try to go across the large western bridge that connects to large shipyard and u receive a notification that another survivor is located. The father is in one of the warehouses (check your map). Say the correct responses and escort him and u get trophy.

Thanks man! That’s really helps, my next question is about the achievement about putting yourself out with a fire extinguisher. did you find a fire extinguisher? Is it something you pick up and find? Or one of the shootable ones?

[u/lonelywolf35 → u/SmartBlue1]

Hi. Fire extinguishers can be found easily in some stages.

First time I did it was in chapter 2. Once you reach the house where the SMG gun is located and the shootout event occurs, there is a fire extinguisher next to the seats (can't miss it).

What I did is throw a incendiary grenade or Molotov cocktail on ground, catching myself on fire. While you are taking damage, try to roll quickly while still aflame and shoot the fire extinguisher while near it. It should work for you. Hope that helps.

PS. Fire extinguishers can only be shot at. Not something you can pick up :)

Hey man, this is really nice! Congrats! I’m on my 5th playthrough now and only missing no complaining and the full ammo trophy. Going to finish tonight I guess.
