Introduction:
Resistance 2 is one of the top shooters available on the PS3, and has trophies as daunting as its presence on Sony’s line of PS exclusives. This is not a game that you should be playing if you want to get an easy platinum, this game will take time and effort to obtain the platinum, but will leave you with a sense of accomplishment and warmth. Most of the trophies will come fairly easy, trophies in the single player campaign will most likely come without even trying to get them and Most of the online ones will also come easily. For the other few trophies that will take time, namely “Killing Machine” and “Specter Officer”, you will need to dedicate yourself to solely those trophies. Continue reading the step by step for more Information.

IMPORTANT: GLITCHED TROPHY NOTE!!!
The Killing Machine trophy is glitched, but you will still achieve it. For some reason, if you kill an opponent with either Overload or The LAARK/Pulse Cannon, it will not “register” as a kill on the servers, but rather a suicide as the other player. However, the trophy itself recognizes these as your kills and will count it for the trophy. If you get your trophy early by a few hundred kills, this is most likely the case. Note that depending on use of overload, LAARK/Pulse Cannon this may be a varying number of kills. But now on to the step by step.

Step 1: Single Player Run While Focusing on Combat Related Trophies
This time around the difficulty does not matter, but I suggest playing on Hard mode since the game is actually more difficult on hard than on superhuman. You have to start on Hard or Medium since you must beat the game once to unlock superhuman, there is no way around this. First off, when playing, you should focus on getting the combat trophies. While these are cumulative and can be finished on your second playthrough, I suggest getting them out of the way since they can be a pain to get later. You should focus on getting the gun specific ones as they first become available, farming at checkpoints and getting them done fast so you can use the gun you want later on instead of keeping the crappy gun to get a trophy. One either run( but while collecting all on one run) you should go for the intel found throughout the levels. Since you are focusing on Combat, I suggest that you get intel on the second run but it is up to you to decide when to get it. On this run you will also get all secret trophies except for one, which will come next playthrough.

Step 2: Single Player Run on Superhuman While Cleaning up Any Missed Trophies
This run through will be quick and easy. On superhuman it may seem a bit more challenging, but the weapons dropped by chimera are much more powerful so you should get through with relative ease. If you missed any trophies like intel or combat related ones on your first run, cleanup here as this should be the last time you will play single player. Once you finish the campaign you will unlock the last secret trophy and will have been able to have obtained all single player trophies, if you are missing some use the stats menu to check how many kills you need/which levels you need to get intel in and using the guide go back and level select places to farm. So now that you’ve finished single player we move on to CO-OP.

Step 3: Co-Op
The majority of the trophies in co-op will come naturally, but before you start you need to take a few things into account
• Which Class Am I Going to Pick?
• Am I Going to Boost?
• Will I Compromise Changing Class for Someone Else to Boost?

I will now address these three questions:

As for your class, I do not recommend being the soldier. At high levels, they are insane. Getting to that high level is very hard. If you are going to boost, then choose medic as you can boost him rather quickly in a private match. If you are not going to boost then I suggest the Spec Ops, he has decent power, can clear out lots of enemies with invisibility, and at higher levels when given the auger and invisibility has the capability to clear out levels on his or her own.

If you are going to boost, you are going to save yourself a lot of time. If you do boost, you will get to level 30 quickly with the medic and if you use the “jump into an almost finished game” trick, you will get “Specter Intel” trophy in a day or so compared to the week it will take when doing the trophy legitimately. If you do play legitimately I suggest playing Orick as you get the most points there in a room with one of each class, make your room name need ____ and ____ where the “___” are whichever two classes you are not.

Like you, there are other people out there trying to get there class to level 30. Sometimes, this means for the good of the team, you may need to change your class. Now this may not seem like a big deal, but it can be huge since co-op is about teamwork, not you. Co-op is not about letting the other guy wait for you to revive him while you kill the Titan, it is not about trying to get the greytech first, and it is not about you getting to max out your class while other people change classes so that the room is balanced. If you play big rooms, this is not a problem as you need multiple of each. But if you are following my advice and playing small rooms, having one of each is essential so before you start to even play co-op, make sure you realize not only the two above matters, but also if you are going to leave a room if you can’t play as your class, or if you are willing to compromise.

So now that you are prepared for co-op here is the fastest method depending on your style:

BOOSTING:
This is a very quick method for getting all trophies if boosting; Find partners to boost and max out your medic class first. This can be done on the first map since there are plenty of cars. If you didn’t know the trick, you take a medic and put him next to a car while spec ops throw him ammo while standing on the car. The medic heals the spec ops for points while the spec ops give him healing shots. The more spec ops the faster this goes. Once you’ve gotten your “Specter Officer” Trophy, you should look for games that look like they have a lot of people and have been going on and you simply join the game in progress. This will allow you to get your intel in the fastest way possible. Try to find a 5 of these with 7 so that you can get the “Team Player” Trophy. Next play Orick, this will get you greytech and give you plenty of elite chimera to kill.

NOT BOOSTING:
Start out by Going region to region getting all the intel for each. Check each region for how many missions you need to complete. At this point you hopefully have a few of the bronze trophies, if not then once you have all the intel for co-op start playing Orick with 3-4 people. This will give you a good chance to max out your class, kill elite chimera, and get the remaining trophies. This method is simpler but more time consuming.

So now that you’ve done the easy steps time for the hardest one; Competitive.

Step 4: Competitive; the 10,000 Kill Grind
So, you’ve made it this far. You’ve probably gotten to the point where you either hate the game and want your platinum or you love the game and want to find out about the rest of the game. By the time you’re done with competitive, you will hate the game. Start playing team deathmatches or skirmishes, go all out for kills and get as many as you can, the 10,000 kills will take a very long time to get. In the process you will get the “Point Man” trophy, and once you hit level 15 go through the list of berserks and use them all. You will also get “Salute Me” in the process of getting “Killing Machine.” I found that the best way to get kills was to tag someone with the bullseye, spray bullets to kill them, then pick up their ammo for more tags. Use the LAARK/PULSE CANNON as your berserk, you can get a lot of free kills that way. I wish you luck, this trophy is one that cannot be gotten with some fancy strategy, only sheer will and determination. Try out different guns and see what works for you.
