Introduction:
You are an elite US sniper, Karl Fairburne. You have been sent behind enemy lines into besieged Berlin during the final moments of World War II. With the Russians tightening their grip around Berlin, several top figures in the German V2 rocket program look likely to fall into their hands. You cannot let this happen. Your mission is to aid those figures keen to defect to the Allies and to terminate those thought to be likely to defect to the Russians.
Potato Masher clarification: It is most likely that you will not have this trophy by the time the stats counter says you have over 100 explosive kills. Do not worry though, because the trophy only accounts for grenade kills, trip mine kills, land mine kills, and TNT kills. Add the individual kills you have for these 4 things to see your running total.
Walkthrough:
Step 1 – Complete the game on Sniper Elite difficulty
This step will net you a significant amount of the trophies for the game, as eleven of them are story related and are obtained by playing through and finishing all chapters. The Sniper Elite trophy will also unlock after completing the entire game on Sniper Elite difficulty. As well as the story related trophies, there are a range of combat-specific trophies that are very hard to miss, so you may also obtain some of these during this step.
Sniper Elite difficulty is a fairly challenging experience. Enemies will spot you very easily and will attempt to rush your position to flush you out of cover. You will also die quickly from enemy fire if you are shot. As well as this, the shooting is more difficult as bullet drop, wind, and lung capacity all have to be considered when shooting. For general tips on beating Sniper Elite difficulty, please refer to the description for the Sniper Elite trophy.
The trophies are cumulative and will carry across multiple playthroughs and via Chapter Select, so don’t worry if you fall just short of a target for any specific trophies. Because of Chapter Select, you can return to a level at any time, and thus do not need to worry about missing any trophies.
It is your choice whether or not to use the guides provided to acquire all of the collectibles (37 bottles and 100 gold bars) on this playthrough as well. You can also attempt to obtain any of the four chapter specific trophies too if you wish, however please bear in mind that these trophies can be obtained via Chapter Select on Cadet difficulty after finishing the game, which will be much easier.
Step 2 – Clean Up via Chapter Select
Now that you have completed the game on Sniper Elite, you can reduce the difficulty to Cadet and mop up any remaining trophies. If you didn’t already in your first playthrough, you will now want to go through each chapter and acquire all of the collectibles in each, obtain the chapter specific trophies, and work towards the rest of the combat related trophies.
You will notice some farming opportunities in the game where you can get a few kills towards a trophy, let yourself die, and then restart the checkpoint to get the kills again. Don’t worry about doing this if you need to, as all of your actions are saved whenever you die. Each mission has a counter which indicates the number of collectibles that you have found. You can also refer to the Stats page in the Extras section of the Main Menu to see your progress towards the combat trophies.
When you have finished everything in Single Player, you will be ready to move on to the Online Co-Op.
Step 3 – Co-Op
I recommend that you find a partner here as random players can be unpredictable and uncooperative. There are just five trophies that you need in the Co-Op, all of which are fairly straightforward. The only mode which may be slightly difficult is Bombing Run. All of the trophies can be obtained on Cadet difficulty and in a Private Lobby, so I recommend these parameters to give yourself the best possible chance of success. Please refer to the individual trophy descriptions for how to obtain each one.
