PS4 / PS5
The campaign takes you from Counter-Attack to Liberation, but the medal trials need a plan. Break crates for $44,000 Vektan and use the Rico and vehicle sections for the actions that do not unlock just by reaching the ending.
PS4 and PS5 Classics edition with 35 trophies per set. The fifth chapter is not required.
- Original edition: PSP (2006); the original handheld has no PlayStation trophies.
- Trophy sets: 35 trophies in each native PS4 and PS5 set.
- Required campaign: I.1 through IV.4; chapter five does not count.
- Medals: Bronze or higher in all 24 trials, with any 10 at gold.
Clear missions I.1 through IV.4
Play through the campaign from the first mission to Liberation. Use cover against heavy infantry and wait for a gap before moving. When Rico joins you, test his support actions in a quieter section so you can command him while defending a charge later.
- Check that Not All to Plan has unlocked after IV.4.
Pick up 44 briefcases on the way
Silver briefcases hide in breakable crates and are worth $1,000 Vektan each. Open crates on the main route and check corners before leaving. The required total comes to 44 cases; if you are short, inspect crates in a mission you rushed rather than attempting a perfect sweep of every level.
- Separate the first pickup from the $44,000 total for Military Bonus.
Register bronze or better in all 24 challenges
Enter every challenge opened by campaign progress. In target practice, leave green targets alone and reload when the range is clear. For spider mines, draw one at a time and put the cage between you and the mine. In the briefcase courses, use a practice attempt to learn which crates matter.
- Do not count a replayed challenge twice; you need a result in each one.
Pick your ten gold trials
Keep any golds earned on the first pass and repeat only the courses you know best. In timed runs, plan reloads and turns before the next target. The port’s rewind can recover a mistake within an attempt; still reach the results screen and verify that it recorded the medal.
- Spend challenge points to equip a weapon with three abilities in the loadout screen.
Close out the combat requirements
Use vehicle segments for 50 mounted kills and a run-over. During a section on foot, destroy a tank without entering a vehicle. Fight grouped infantry with frag grenades and track the revolver, missile launcher, spider mine, and melee kills separately. Revive an incapacitated companion as well, since ordinary combat kills will not cover that trophy.
- Read the remaining trophy list before replaying a completed mission.
