Patch Blocker XP Glitch Guide

[C-IRVINE-94]

Yes got welcome to the party

And now real nasty habit, thanks for the glitch

[Thibby]

Snagged both the trophies! Wooh! Thank ya kindly.

I have a feeling the pyramid would be a better place to do this though. You get grenades right in the beginning, and you massacre a ton of aliens before the second checkpoint. All of this without the 15 minute gameplay of the stupid Colony level. Anyway, I didn't try it because I wanted to follow the guide, but it was just a thought.

Also, to people who are having issues downloading/cancelling the first patch download process:

I was having issues downloading the patch (even with patchblocker turned off) when I had the proxy in use. As soon as I reverted to 'easy' settings, the patch was required for download when I booted up the game. I cancelled after the first download/install and went about my business as the rest of the guide says.

Preeeetttyyy easy. Thanks again!

Finally tried it and I can confirm that it works perfectly. Thanks a bunch for the help.^^

After giving up on this glitch for months since I couldn't get it to work, I tried again today & it FINALLY worked. So glad to have these trophies done with, now my platinum is possible again. I thought about only unlocking 'Welcome To The Party' today & waiting a few days for 'Real Nasty Habit' so the time difference was at least a little more reasonable because I hate giving people any reason to think i'm a cheater but oh well. This is one glitch I had no problem doing because there was no way I was getting 18,000 xp legit with how dead the MP is & how bad the servers are when it comes to randomly losing XP.

That's exactly why I used it, I wouldnt get it without the glitch. I tried to avoid using them but the MP is dead and the lost XP is a pain

Understandable, the losing XP problem is a serious pain in the ass; it takes a real dedicated player to not cheat these trophies. Guess that makes me special.

Thanks for this, I did have some trouble following the written guide (mainly because I'm not that tech savvy) so I found this on youtube which is the same thing, except in a visual format!

This was a real lifesaver. With servers dead like that, it's perfectly fine to cheat lol. Excellent guide nonetheless, very well written and easily understood.

Hello, Ive done this glitch myself and thought I would put all of the information you need into one thread instead of everyone having to look through multiple pages in the boosting thread.
Credit goes to Beatpeitsi for telling us about this glitch and the basics of how to do it.
Credit also goes to Johnmc for telling me what to do for step 6.
You will be going for these:

Welcome to the Party

Real Nasty Habit


If you get confused with the steps below this is a video that shows what to do after you load up AVP. Just note to ignore the Resistance Fall Of Man part. I would only use this video to find out exactly where you have to kill yourself.

AvP - Multiplayer XP 'workaround' - YouTube

You will need:
A Computer
Internet Connection
A Playstation 3
Aliens vs Predator Game
20-40 Minutes

Step 1:
On your Computer
Download the Elite Mossy Patch Blocker for PS3
Elite Mossy\'s Patch Blocker for PS3 via PC

Step 2:
Open the patch blocker and look at the larger code. It will be something like this: 192.168.0.114

Step 3:
On your Playstation go to -> Network Settings -> Internet Connection Settings.
Choose custom and go through your usual internet connection settings.

Step 4:
When you reach Proxy Server, press use and copy down both of the codes into the correct positions. The larger code should go into the top box. Continue through your settings and after you have saved them press exit. DO NOT TEST CONNECTION

Step 5:
Delete your AVP game data from the game data utility folder.

Step 6:
You might be able to skip this step but some people are having problems so ill include it. Run AVP and download and install the first patch. after it has downloaded CANCEL THE PROCESS. Quit the game.

Step 7:
On the patch blocker press "Start Blocking" and open up the game. If your are signed into PSN which you shouldnt be sign out.

Step 8:
Now when the game has loaded sign in to PSN. Go to -> Multiplayer -> Ranked Match -> Search Deathmatch with the amount of player to Any.

Step 9:
When the game says "1 Player in game, Waiting for _ more" Quit to the main menu. It doesnt matter if your signed into the PSN anymore but you shouldn't be signed out

Step 10:
Go to Singleplayer and load up the Colony mission on normal difficulty. NOTE: if the game freezes after the cut scene refer to step 6.

Step 11:
Play through the level until you get to the C Block area trying to collect as many grenades as possible, the max is 4 but you only need 1. There should be a lot of debris and one of your teammates should be trying to fit through a gap but gets taken by a Xeno. The turret should stop working and there should be a lot of Xenomorphs. Kill as many as you can and run to the elevator. Make sure that you are on 2 bars of health when you enter the elevator as it should make things a lot easier.

Step 12:
Exit the elevator and you should be in this brownish coloured room that is fairly open spaced. Point at the ground and fire your grenades and you should die. Rinse and repeat for about 5-10 minutes and you should get "Welcome to the Party" If you keep playing for about 25-30 minutes you should get "Real Nasty Habit"

Step 13:
Quit the game and go into network settings. You can close the patch blocker now. Go into custom and choose all the settings you had before but DO NOT USE THE PROXY SERVER. This will allow you to log back into the network as normal.

There is no way to tell whether the glitch is working until one of the trophies pops, but if you follow my guide it should work. I would also like to say that you can do this with a wired connection or wireless connection.

NOTE: If for some reason you cannot finish both of the trophies in one sitting you CAN come back into the game later through the patch blocker and repeat steps 1-9. When you get to choosing the SP level, if you were half way through killing yourself before you can continue the game through the Continue option. Your XP count will be reset but you wont have to waste 15-20 minutes replaying the whole level again. I did this and can confirm that it works.

Apart from that I believe that this guide is finished. If you have any questions or believe that I missed something out tell me and I will try and check back on this thread as frequently as possible. I hope I helped you guys out and some of you can get these annoying trophies with little effort.

i do step 4, but i cant sign back into the network, i will get the error code 80710092, i have tried step 4 on a wired and wireless connection but wont work. also with step 6 it doesnt tell me i have to update the game software before playing it. i could use some help/advice scruffy

Ok now that i look those steps may be the wrong way around. I recommend:
1. Delete your game data NOT save data
2. Go into the game, it will ask you to patch and do it but cancel after the first.
3. Now do all the things with the proxy settings ect.

Tell me how it goes
