PS5
Gears of War: Reloaded has two distinct hunts: a carefully completed campaign and a lengthy Versus progression. Starting on Insane can combine story and cooperative objectives, but the platinum does not end with RAAM. Keep one table for chapters and tags and another for modes, maps and online actions. This prevents a high campaign completion percentage from being mistaken for progress towards the more demanding multiplayer requirements.
Roadmap for PS5 Reloaded. Versus requirements belong to the platinum and are not replaced by cooperative campaign completion.
- Required difficulty: All acts on Insane, with additional conditions for cooperative objectives.
- Missable trophies: Chapter selection supports campaign and COG tag cleanup.
- Online: Versus requires online matches in the specified categories; local campaign co-op alone is insufficient.
Choose a campaign route you can finish
Decide whether to complete Insane solo or with a partner. In co-op, agree on roles and completed chapters rather than continually changing saves or difficulty. If the initial challenge prevents you from learning encounters, separate practice from the difficult clear instead of repeating identical attempts. Chapter selection supports specific cleanup, so record the precise chapter rather than only its act name.
- Record the chapter, difficulty and partner participation after each session.
Find all 33 tags and check the journal
When you spot a Crimson Omen in the environment, inspect the surrounding area before advancing. COG tags are a separate collection, and missing ones can be recovered through chapters. After finishing the set, open the War Journal: reading a comic to its end is another interaction rather than something to wait for automatically during the campaign. Do not replay the whole story for one missing tag.
- After collecting tags, open a comic and reach its final page.
Check the RAAM condition before fighting
Cooperative campaign completion and the specific Insane RAAM victory are separate checks. The latter requires both players to avoid DBNO, so agree on cover and recovery timing before starting. Reviving a partner can let you finish the encounter, but that win does not necessarily satisfy the stricter condition. Keep the requirement beside your final-chapter save instead of checking only whether the boss died.
- Before RAAM, agree on a no-DBNO attempt for both players.
Track modes and maps alongside kills
Build a Versus checklist around requirements that can share a session: winning the missing mode can be more useful than repeating a familiar match only for kills. Many descriptions specify social or competitive play; do not assume a private lobby counts identically. In ring-based modes, check the required captures in each match as well as the number of completed matches.
- Record wins by mode and map before focusing only on the kill total.
Check counters before another long session
The 10,000-kill requirement concerns Versus; campaign kills do not replace it. Combine that progression with revives, assisted spots and level milestones, checking descriptions to avoid working in the wrong mode. Service availability and playlist population can affect waiting times. If a counter does not move, inspect the match type and exact condition before considering any troubleshooting that changes a save.
- Confirm that the counter actually increases in the required match type.
Trophies to watch
Commando
Complete all acts on Insane Difficulty
Finish every act at the required difficulty and track completed chapters; replaying only the ending does not replace the campaign.
For the Fallen
Recover all 33 COG tags (on any difficulty)
Use the War Journal and chapter selection to locate missing tags.
I Can't Quit You Dom
Complete all acts in co-op (on any difficulty)
Track every act played with your partner; the ten-chapter milestone is not the full cooperative campaign.
Seriously…
Kill 10,000 people in Versus matches
Check the Versus total; campaign kills and simple downs should not automatically be treated as equivalent.
Frequently asked questions
Can I earn the platinum through the campaign alone?
No. The list includes Versus requirements such as kills and online mode milestones.
Do I need another campaign for a missing tag?
Return to the relevant chapter for cleanup. First identify the missing tag in the journal.
Does every multiplayer trophy count in private matches?
Do not assume so. Many descriptions specify social or competitive play. Verify the requirement and counter progress before repeating matches.
