Congratulations on your Platinum!

See "Best of the Best" for information on Elite difficulty. This trophy just requires you beat 1 mission on this difficulty.

Elite difficulty will be locked at first, so to unlock it you need to beat the game on any difficulty. You can do the mission in any order on Elite. Each mission is marked with the highest difficulty it has been beaten on in the chapter select menu, when they all say elite you will get your trophy.

Elite definitely provides a significant challenge. You will die in just a few hits and there are a lot of pretty serious fire fights throughout this game. Your team mates become a lot more important in on the higher difficulties. You will need to get into the habit of ordering them into good cover positions and prioritising attack targets for both teams. You can often send your team forward into cover to spawn the next group of enemies while keeping yourself back in relative safety. They will be significantly more help during engagements if you learn to use them effectively. There are also some occasions where it is just best to get the enemy's attention before retreating back to the previous fights location, for example. This is useful when there isn't much in the way of good cover for you and your team.

Other than that it will help to stick to the weapons you will have upgraded in your previous playthrough since they will have extras such as better sights and a larger ammo capacity. When In a fight always make finding good cover a priority and move forward with caution. Just because a member of your team says It's all clear doesn't mean there isn't another group of enemies just around the corner. Don't try and do too much either. If your team can handle the current group of enemies, let them. That's what they are there for. They can take down targets quicker than you and take a lot more hits too. Sticking your head out of cover when you don't really need to just makes it all the more annoying when It gets shot off in the blink of an eye. Smoke grenades can also be invaluable when you desperately need some cover.

See here for a guide to some of Elite's trouble spots.

There are 4 stealth campaign missions where you play as Forty-Five. These are Missions 03, 07, 10 & 12. The easiest I would say are the first two. If you go for 3 then remember after disabling the launch controls for the boat, you can go prone round the railing to stay hidden. You can kill people of course but if you don't have to It's usually better not to. Unless you are right in front of an enemy, then being crouched in grass and/or shadows will make you pretty much invisible to them. In mission 3 I even shot down a few enemies at the end who turned and looked at me, even fired back and I still got the trophy. Best be safe and avoid that though. If at any point you think you might have been seen, just restart the checkpoint.

Head online and choose Competitive game. Any mode will do. Just join a match and play to the finish, it doesn't matter if you join half way through. Trophy will pop at the end.

For this trophy you just need to play 1 game in each of the competitive modes the game has to offer. No PSN right now so I will add a list of the game modes later.

Custom campaign missions are available in single player and co-op. They take place on the maps from the single player and provide objective based gameplay. For this you need to just complete one mission in co-op mode. Can be any mode, map or difficulty.

Custom campaign missions are available in single player and co-op. They take place on the maps from the single player and provide objective based gameplay. For this you need to just complete one mission in single player. Can be any mode, map or difficulty.

There are 6 maps you can play custom missions on. Each map has an option of 1 of 2 objectives. You can do either but for me "Takedown" mission seem to go faster. You just need to play and complete 1 game on each map in either co-op, single player or any combination of the two. Things like "Difficulty" & "Enemy Count" don't matter either so put it to whatever settings you want. The required maps are as follows:

Rendezvous
Leviathan
Fluid Dynamics
Means to an End
Turning Point
Countdown

While playing through the game in campaign mode or custom mission you will notice in the bottom left corner objectives pop up when they are given or when you have partially completed one with your progress. Then again with "Objective Complete" once you complete it. Each time this happens it is one towards the trophy. You shouldn't need to concentrate on this one at all, it will just come as you play towards your platinum. Playing through the game once will get you the majority of the way towards this trophy. So It should unlock when you are playing co-op, going for trophies in chapter select or during your Elite playthrough.

Playing through the single player you will get this no problem. Often when you come up against armor, you gain the ability to call in air strikes. To do so you point at your target and hold . You will always be notified if you have to destroy something with an air strike and there are a lot more than 10 that you will need to call in throughout the story. At the very first opportunity in chapter 1 though you have the ability to call in strikes until the two armoured targets are destroyed. So you can just call in 10 and miss to get the trophy quickly.

Like mentioned in "Government Spending" you will be able to call in strikes at certain locations in the game. A good one for this trophy is at the end of Mission 5 "Benefaction". You will come up to a beach with a large number of vehicles and enemies. Use your first strike on a group of enemies and you should get your trophy. If you fail simply restart the checkpoint and try again.

This should come over the course of the story. You can rack up destroyed vehicles pretty easy at the end of Mission 5 "Benefaction". You will come up to a beach with a large number of vehicles and enemies. You can just destroy a bunch of the vehicles, restart the checkpoint and destroy everything again as stats like this save when you do so. I wouldn't bother concentrating on it though as chances are you will get it naturally but if you want to, that is a good location to do so.

This should be a pretty easy trophy. Explosives is referring to grenades etc in your kit. Things like air strikes won't count. You should be using your grenades anyway so this should come naturally and pretty quickly. Grenades are most effective usually when the enemies are just running into the area all bunch up or coming through a choke point, such as a door.

There are many opportunities to get this in every mission in the game. There is an especially easy one in the second mission though. From the start of the mission you are told to sneak past a group of enemies by crawling through foliage. You are then told to stealth kill an enemy for the first time. Just past this guy there are 3 enemies standing together talking just down a hill. They don't know you are there at first so take your time and toss a grenade into the middle of their conversation to get your trophy.

See "Millennial Slayer".

This is cumulative between modes so you really don't have to worry about it at all. In going for other trophies you will get this in no time. A single playthrough of the story will get you 600-650 kills and you need to do 2 for the platinum. All your kills from co-op, custom missions & competitive will count for this too. So It should definitely just come while you are going for other trophies.

Simply aim for the head. Quickest way to take down enemies anyway. Getting a headshot will result in a pretty distinct "splat" noise that you will come to know pretty well. Counts across modes too so you shouldn't need to concentrate on this one.

Easiest If you pick a sniper rifle as one of your weapons at the start of a mission. Then just take it slow and pick your shots. You know when you get a headshot as you should get the distinctive "splat" noise that comes with headshots in this game. Other than that there isn't much to it.

Go for this in Mission 03 "White Tiger". There are a lot of enemies on their own that make an easy target for a stealth kill. If you don't think you can get enough in the mission you can just get to a point with a few enemies, stealth kill them, restart checkpoint and then stealth kill them again. It will count towards the trophy and you should get it no problem.

Stealth kills do not count as Melee attacks in this game. So these kills will have to just be with the standard knife. You can still use the stealth missions like mission 03 to get these kills quickly though. Just make sure the Stealth Kill prompt isn't on the screen right before you melee an enemy, staying in prone is an easy way to do this.

When a friendly goes down you will see their icon turn into a small skull on screen. To revive them, simply run over to where they fell and hold the button when prompted on screen. A bar will start to fill up and when it does they will be revived. You need to do this 25 times across single player and co-op in campaign and custom missions. Shooting your allies to down them and then reviving them won't work so just play normally and keep an eye out for your team mates going down, you should get it in no time.

Mission 2 is the best for this one. You can't get this in Forty-Five's stealth missions by not killing anyone. Mission 1 is a tutorial mostly. You are also required to kill enemies at certain points to advance the level. The mission is pretty short as are most in the game. You will also be introduced to the basics of ordering your team around during this level. Just hang back and order your teams into advanced positions, prioritising attack targets for them as you see fit. Then move forward when they have cleared everyone out. You can't kill any enemies yourself.

If you select campaign in the main menu followed by Weapon Progression, you will see a list of all the weapons (Locked and Unlocked) that you need for this trophy. You start out with some of the weapons, you are given some as you progress through the story and the others need to be picked up during mission. To save a weapon to your collection that you have picked up during a mission you will need to carry it to the end of that mission. To check the name of a weapon you pick up, hold and select it, it should display the name above. Chances are if you keep an eye out for new weapons and take them to the end of missions throughout the game, by the end of your first playthrough you shouldn't be missing that many. Use the list below to clean up the ones you are missing in Mission select.

Note: People have reported having trouble unlocking this trophy and It seems It's to do with gaining weapons through custom missions. If you get the last weapon you need through a custom mission, the trophy may not unlock. The potential fix is to reacquire that weapon in the single player campaign. Obviously that means you need to know what the last weapon you needed was. Thanks to Blitz5 for information about this.

3 pieces of Intel are found throughout each and every mission. It usually looks like a small field computer. When you are within 5 or so meters of a piece of intel it will show up on your screen as an objective marker with a star in it. You can check which ones you have by pausing the game. If you pick up a piece of intel and die before a checkpoint, you don't have to pick it up again. In the pause menu the intel will either be greyed out (Not collected yet), filled in (Have collected it at some point) or filled in with a tick on it (have collected it and saved on this mission). As long as, in the pause menu, the piece of intel is filled in you don't have to collect it again. Here is a video of all the pieces of intel:

There are 4 missions you can get these kills on. Missions 3, 7, 10 & 12 are Forty-Five's stealth missions. You are introduced to stealth kills at the start of 3. To perform a stealth kill you will need to sneak up behind an unaware enemy and melee them. You will accumulate a lot of these over your two required playthroughs for platinum but you can also, while playing one of these missions, perform a bunch of stealth kills, reload checkpoint and then repeat those kills. They will all add up and you will get this trophy in no time.
