Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Road Map and Trophy Guide

[noirproxy]

Darn I was nearly finished with my trophy guide for this :-p I'll send you the detailed multiplayer boosting walkthrough for doing Keeper of the Armoury quickly after I get back from cinema :-)
Also add that it will take around ten hours to grind the 'Dying of the light' chapter for 40,000 kills. There is another spot on the second to last chapter with the three cultists. You can spam the auto cannon into the three portals to kill 4 guardsmen per portal every five seconds. Simply die after running out of auto cannon ammo to reset chapter and keep stats.

*EDIT*
Just noticed that you posted the technique I originally created for boosting. I actually updated it since we last boosted. For killstreaks if the people helping the booster take C or A depending on which is closest to the booster's spawn. I found it was a lot faster than than taking B :-) Then once you get your three kills let them kill you then they should run to your spawn to speed up the killing.

Great guide! Just one quit tip for ppl boosting the Down to Earth trophy.

Get in a seize control game with 200 score. Get an assault with a plasma gun (enhanced recharge is mandatory) and the perk that allows to see the shield/health bar. One recharged magma pistol blast takes around 190 of damage.

If your friend don't have the magma pistol yet, make him copy your class.

I've adjusted the boosted method and added credit. Also added your method for the 40,000 kill trophy. Thank you!

You actually reminded me to actually put info in that trophy. I didn't have anything except "This is the Death from Below reward".

You don't really need any gun in particular, you just need to kill them when they're in the air. I'll let them decide who/what they want to be when they're killing their partner who is the Assault/Raptor class.

We actually found yesterday that using the vengeance launcher is the best way to boost the Down to Earth trophy. Simply place one of three mines on each person helping and have them clump together then let off a signal to use the jump pack like a grenade toss. Then when all three jump in the air, detonate the mines and get a triple air kill. We did it three sessions in a row without mics.

A great tip to mention is that people who don't want to shell out the $10 for Kill Team to unlock the Power Sword can just copy their boosting partners that have bought Kill Team's load out after they have been killed by them with the sword. Saves you $10.

Also the recommended map for boosting is the Manufactorum.

I already have that map under the Boosting Steps.

And true, since that's what you did with me (for the Power Sword).

Multiplayer takes forever. Especially if you don't boost.

The hours might be a little bit off, I'm not exactly sure.

Also Jamby, can you confirm with us whether we can get the trophy "Librarian of Macragge" via chapter select? thanks^.^

Nice guide. A couple of things though:

* The "Burn them All" trophy is really easy (even on hard) in the chapter where you've met the Inquisitor and have to go through facing only defence turrets. You will only have the plasma pistol, but it only takes 5 or 6 shots to kill a turret (and there's plenty of cover).

* I'm not sure about your Kill Streak advice... It sounds pretty long winded. 3 kills in a row is your first kill streak, but then every kill after that counts as an extra kill streak. So, say you kill 5 guys in a row (plasma cannon FTW ), that counts as 3 kill streaks.

* It's rumoured that the co-op DLC coming in October will also count towards weapons challenges, so it might be worth waiting to see if that's the case before tediously grinding out these challenges.

* For a legitimate Devastion trophy, plasma cannon is way easier. Especially with perks. And when the inevitable assault drops on you, use stomp and switch to pistol. Another easy(ish) method is to use the Las Cannon on Hab Center, with the Signum Uplink perk to reveal enemies across the map.

* I couldn't get the steps from THQ for Master Crafted to work, because step 9 is misleading. You actually have to have the appearance set as current before you do the changes. Then it works.

Yes, you can I used it to get the final one that I had missed.

K, will add that to the guide.

Is there proof to this? I've asked on their forums and they said the same thing, but it seems to me that other people think otherwise.

Everyone I've talked to seem to think once you get on a killstreak, that counts as 1 killstreak.

Yeah, true, but when that trophy comes along we can have someone confirm it for us?

I'll add that.

I'll make sure to add that.

And yes, you can get them via chapter select.
