PS4
New Dawn focuses on Prosperity, expeditions and repeated liberations, but scouts deserve the first precaution. Speak to them before buying every map; exhausting available information can stop them appearing. The other precaution concerns co-op guests, because many trophies specify host only. Develop your own save and use co-op for its requirement, distinguishing three paired expeditions from completing every destination at the required rank.
Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4. Additional trophy groups are separate.
- Required difficulty: General difficulty does not affect platinum.
- Missable trophies: Prepare Honorary Scout before exhausting information and maps.
- Online: Have Buddy, Will Travel requires three expeditions with an online partner.
Speak to scouts before buying maps
When a scout icon appears, pause travel and collect the information. Record encounters before completing Prosperity’s cartography. Once nothing remains to reveal, scouts may no longer appear. Do not rely solely on future free roam for this requirement.
- Confirm Honorary Scout before buying every map.
Invest in route-unlocking facilities
Ethanol and components support different upgrades. Open expeditions through the relevant facility and improve weapons before advanced outposts. Check host-only trophies on your save. Completing a job as a guest does not automatically develop your Prosperity.
- Check facilities and host role.
Use liberation ranks deliberately
Scavenging returns an outpost to enemies and raises its next challenge. This cycle supports ethanol and rank-three requirements. Choose suitable equipment and companion before a stealth attempt. A successful alerted liberation may count as conquest but not Pure Ninja.
- Record each outpost’s rank and alarm status.
Separate paired trips from rank-three destinations
Have Buddy, Will Travel requires co-op expeditions, whereas Hit the Road checks unique destinations at the specified difficulty. Arrange invitations with a partner, then inspect which places still need rank three. Repeating one destination does not replace a missing unique entry.
- Keep separate co-op and destination checklists.
Prepare Eden-power challenges
Some combat actions depend on powers unlocked through the story. Leave them until the ability is available, then choose encounters with enough targets for the condition. Photographs, music players, hunting and companions are separate blocks. Finishing a mission does not mean all optional actions were satisfied.
- Check power and targets before advanced attempts.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy every map immediately?
Secure Honorary Scout first. Scouts can disappear when nothing remains to reveal.
Does a guest earn every story trophy?
No. Many descriptions specify host only. Check the requirement on your own save.
Are three expeditions enough for Hit the Road?
No. Do not confuse the co-op requirement with all seven unique rank-three destinations.
