System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster

PS4 / PS5

In System Shock 2, plan the three career clears and the collectible sweep separately. Use the first campaign to learn the Von Braun, track Audio Logs and gather Cyber Modules. Keep a save before leaving the UNN Rickenbacker: after that point, you cannot return to the earlier decks to fix a missed requirement.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster on PS4 and PS5. Co-op does not count for campaign trophies.

  • Difficulty: One full campaign on Impossible.
  • Missables: Check optional trophies before leaving Deck 7, except for objectives in later areas.
  • Online: Campaign trophies must be earned in single-player.

Choose a career for the exploration run

Marine specializes in weapons, Navy helps with systems and hacking, and OSA starts with psionic abilities. Begin with Marine or Navy to learn stations, resources and routes, then finish the other career. Choosing a path earns a trophy, but Captain, Striker and Mastermind require a full clear with each respective career.

  • Track each of the three career clears separately.

Check Audio Logs deck by deck

Pick up Audio Logs from desks, containers and bodies, and audit them in your PDA after each deck. Archivist’s 147 logs are separate from the four OS Upgrade Stations for Service Pack. Finding a station is not enough; use its upgrade. Keep a manual save before launching the escape pod from Deck 7. Audit earlier decks first, then collect the remaining logs on Decks 8 and 9.

  • Make a separate save before leaving Deck 7.

Bring the prologue basketball to Recreation

For Join us?, collect the basketball during the prologue. After the gravity elevator, check the sloped wall to the right before entering the UNN building. Keep the ball until the court on Deck 5, Recreation. Face the hoop and drop the ball from your inventory to throw it. After changing gear or taking a Strength penalty, check that the ball is still in your inventory.

  • Check for the basketball before leaving the prologue and entering the court.

Save modules for the level-six trophies

On an easier difficulty, gather Cyber Modules and save near a station. Raise the stat or skill you are checking to level six, confirm the trophy and reload to spend the resources on another. You do not need every stat maxed at once. Use the Marine run for weapon feats and the Navy run to hack turrets or consoles.

  • Confirm the unlock before reloading.

Use OSA for the Impossible run

Start a new game on Impossible and keep that setting through the ending. OSA is useful for starting with psionic tools when health is lower and upgrades are more expensive. Invest in the powers and weapons you actually use, and follow routes you learned on previous runs. Skip completed collectible sweeps.

  • Stay on Impossible from start to finish.
