Turbo Overkill: platinum trophy guide PS5 / PS4

PS4 / PS5

Johnny Turbo’s route has three goals that do not always go together: clear Murder Machine, kill every enemy, and find the chips and tapes. Split a difficult stage into passes if needed. Keep weapons, upgrades and augments in one slot, because the purchase trophies require that.

Murder Machine, secrets across three episodes, one purchase save and past wave 40 in Endless.

Difficulty: Every level on Murder Machine; The Wastes on at least Serve Me Pain for its dedicated trial.
Missables: Levels are replayable; gear must be tracked on one save slot.
Online: No trophy requires an online match.

Clear all three episodes and log Murder Machine

If you already know fast shooters, start on Murder Machine; otherwise use a lower run to learn the routes. In the level menu check the difficulty recorded for each stage, rather than just the episode ending. In harder fights, use the slide, Turbo-Time and healing between waves instead of standing still to fire.

Verify every level on Murder Machine.

Collect chips and tapes before the exit

Check chip and tape counts at the end of the level. In Napalm Blitz, look behind the helicopter at the start and under the bridge; check the stadium perimeter before entering the arena. In Scrapyard, after the opening room, look for the arcade behind the container and the tape on the rise above. Replay missing entries without replacing your purchase slot.

Compare chips and tapes in chapter select.

Reach 100% kills on a dedicated pass

Instead of shortcutting, approach arenas in the intended order and wait for their waves before leaving. At Teratek Showdown, clear the enemies between boss phases and check the result at mission end. If the count is short after a death or reload, retry the level from the beginning; replaying only the last phase can omit earlier waves.

Check 100% in each stage result.

Buy augments and attempt Endless on defaults

Use vending machines and shops on one save for weapons, upgrades and augments. Hold a balance over 100,000 Zhen for Fat Wads before spending it. In Endless, leave the settings at default and get past wave 40 rather than just reaching the number. Consider chainsaw healing and shielding to sustain the earlier waves.

Finish purchases on the same slot and get past wave 40.

Split no-hit, timed and vehicle trials

In The Wastes, select Serve Me Pain or higher and finish without dying or reloading. For No Maw in Napalm Blitz, watch for damage in the fight and restart if you lose the condition. At Vector-4, split the speed run from 100% kills: go for the three hearts and finish in under twelve minutes. In Exodus, avoid firing the hoverbike’s minigun or lasers.

Replay the right mission for each special requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Can I just finish the last level on Murder Machine?

No. Overkilled requires every level on that difficulty: check the records for all three episodes.

Can I split upgrades across multiple saves?

Not for Groovy and Fully Evolved. Complete both collections on one slot, even when replaying individual missions.

Do I need the Ultimate Edition for the platinum?

No: the verified PS4 and PS5 lists cover the base game and its challenges.
