PS3
Deadlocked’s platinum is a check of your DreadZone board. Complete the missions, then revisit skill points with the exact requirements in view. Three require Exterminator, which opens after the ending. In parallel, buy the Harbinger and take it to level ten as well.
PS3 HD edition, known as Ratchet Gladiator in Europe. All 31 base trophies can be earned without multiplayer.
- Skill points: 165 for Maaaaadd Skills!
- Difficulty: Three Exterminator objectives after the ending.
- Weapons: Level 10 on every weapon, including the Harbinger.
Finish the DreadZone season
Clear the main events and use easier fights to level the starting weapons. Whenever a new arena opens, read its skill-point list and separate precision objectives from ordinary combat goals. If one calls for a special condition, give it a separate attempt; trying to meet two conflicting rules at once wastes a run.
- Review the board even after the final boss.
Clear all 165 points planet by planet
Revisit the Battledome and planets with missing points. On Torval, check that every objective is recorded, not just those with an individual trophy. On Valix, give In a Row and Medieval Power separate attempts if you cannot maintain both conditions. Leave room to finish later-story objectives before restarting.
- Read the required action before choosing a loadout.
Return to the three Exterminator goals
After finishing the story, check for Exterminator. Use it for Tough As Nails on Catacrom Four, Don’t Be A Wimp on Orxon and Hard Luck on Torval. The other skill points do not all need that setting; where difficulty is not stated, choose whatever suits the challenge.
- Verify those three points registered before changing difficulty.
Buy the Harbinger and use the multiplier
Continue the cleared file in Challenge Mode. Use cover between fights to keep the bolt multiplier and fund the two-million-bolt Harbinger. The four million for 4 the Win! are cumulative, so you do not need that entire amount in your balance. Also keep clearing useful missions to reach 200,000 Dread Points.
- Buy the weapon early enough to give it time to level.
Take every weapon to level ten
As soon as a weapon hits ten, swap it out. King of the Leviathans on Sarathos is a useful XP event; use different weapons on the groups and check the menu after each pass. The Harbinger counts even if bought late. Higher levels available in Challenge Mode are outside this trophy requirement.
- Before leaving, check every weapon in the menu, not just your three favorites.
