Homecoming
The Freightway
Harvest Season
Man vs. Machine
The Pipeline
The Harder They Fall
Ballard’s Crossing
Train Robbery
The Pit
Making An Entrance
Ashes
Sever
The Source

BRONZE TROPHIES

_______________

-Annoying Little Fly-
Description: Kill a player flying a Vulture pack by ramming them with your Hawk
Strategy: In multiplayer mode, you need to do exactly as the description says. You can accomplish this in a private game, so to do this easy, just make a private game, and have a friend take a fall for you. It is possible that this will happen naturally in multiplayer, but besides just constantly getting in Hawks and hoping someone else is flying around in a jetpack, there’s no real strategy you can apply here.

-ARMed and Dangerous-
Description: Kill an enemy with the A.R.M.
Strategy: The A.R.M. is usually used for healing other structures. But you can take control of it and use it to smash enemies. You can do this in the single-player game, multiplayer, whatever, but it will be easiest to do it in the campaign or the horde mode of the game. I believe if you build an A.R.M. and have it drop from the sky and crush an enemy, then that will also satisfy the trophy.

-Build & Battle-
Description: Use Build & Battle for the first time in multiplayer.
Strategy: Build a structure in multiplayer. It doesn’t matter what you build, but build something.

-CTF Starter-
Description: Win your first Capture the Flag game
Strategy: Win a game of Capture the Flag. That’s all there is to it. The rules of CTF should be pretty self-explanatory to you if you’re old enough to play Starhawk!

-Curious Builder-
Description: Build one of every available structure in a single multiplayer game
Strategy: At the start of a multiplayer game, just build as many structures as you can right from the start. Die, and then repeat the process. It’s good to just start at the top of the wheel and working your way around the wheel clockwise.

-Deadeye-
Description: With the LR-3 Railgun, kill an enemy from more than 2,500 feet away
Strategy: Get a sniper rifle and then kill an enemy from really, really far away. You can do this in any game mode. The best way to do this is to find the edge of a map and build a Watchtower there. Sniper rifles spawn at the top of the towers. From there, aim, and fire at the enemies until this trophy unlocks.

-Eagle Eye-
Description: Shoot down a flying Hawk with the Ox Heavy Tank
Strategy: This trophy can be unlocked in any game mode. It’s probably best to have a friend help you with this one. It can be quite difficult to just shoot a Hawk out of the sky with a tank. You get almost no chances to do this in the campaign and the chances that the opportunity will arise in legitimate multiplayer is slim to none. To get a tank, you need to build a Depot, by the way.

-First Blood-
Description: Get your first kill in multiplayer
Strategy: Just kill someone in multiplayer.

-Hat Trick-
Description: Destroy a fully-loaded Razorback with R-Sec proximity charges
Strategy: Now this is an incredibly difficult trophy. You need to destroy a Razorback that has a driver, a passenger, someone on the turret, and you need to kill them with proximity charges. You pretty much have to do this in the campaign. The best level to do this in is the fifth level called Ballard’s Crossing. There is a section of the level that features Razorbacks filled with enemies that attack rift rigs that you build. You can lay the proximity charges on the ground where the Razorbacks are about to spawn, but it won’t guarantee their destruction.

-Long Bomb-
Description: Kill an enemy with a Tetranite Grenade from at least 200 feet away
Strategy: Throw grenades from far away at distant enemies. Best done in the campaign or the horde mode. Aim the right stick upward to give your throws more of an arc.

-Mancake!-
Description: Kill an enemy by dropping a structure on them
Strategy: Yet again, a trophy best unlocked in the campaign mode. The supply bunker is a good structure to unlock this with. The supply bunker takes up a lot of space, and you can build it in pretty much any level of the game.

-Mech My Day-
Description: Shoot the pilot out of a Hawk while it’s on the ground
Strategy: When an enemy is in a Hawk, in mech mode, shoot them out of the Hawk, preferably with the sniper rifle. You can trick the AI in the campaign or whatever into transforming from their ship mode into their mech mode by building a Hawk, turning into mech mode yourself, and then exiting the mech. Then build a Watchtower to get a sniper rifle and use it to shoot the enemy out of the Hawk.

-Minor Miscalculation-
Description: Kill an enemy with his own R-Sec proximity charge
Strategy: You need to hope an enemy lays down a proximity charge, and that you get close to it, and that it manages to kill the enemy in question. This is entirely a luck-based trophy. There’s literally no strategy involved that you can use to get this one.

-Out of the Saddle-
Description: Shoot the driver, passenger, or gunner out of a Razorback
Strategy: This is best done with a sniper rifle, but it can be accomplished with any other weapon as well. Basically, just shoot an enemy out of a moving Razorback to get the trophy.

-Prospector Starter-
Description: Win your first Prospector game
Strategy: Prospector is the co-op horde mode in Starhawk that I’ve mentioned before in this guide. All you have to do is win one of the games. You don’t need to play in co-op. If you are having problems, switch the difficulty to easy.

-Ready Up-
Description: Use Build & Battle for the first time in the campaign
Strategy: In the campaign, you will be instructed to use the Build & Battle mode to build your first structure. Do this and this trophy will unlock.

-Rear Gunner-
Description: Shoot down a Hawk with the Razorback turret
Strategy: Get in a Razorback. Shoot down a Hawk. Pretty much, do exactly as the trophy description demands.

-Rest in Peace, Logan-
Description: Complete the campaign on Normal difficulty or higher
Strategy: Just play the game on the default difficulty setting and never change the difficulty until you complete every chapter in the game.

-Saboteur-
Description: Destroy an enemy vehicle with the Welding Torch
Strategy: The Welding Torch is a powerful weapon that you are introduced to in the campaign. Because of that, it’s easiest to complete this in the campaign. Do exactly as the trophy asks. Self-explanatory.

-Takedown-
Description: Kill an enemy with a melee attack
Strategy: To use a melee attack, just run over to an enemy and push on the right analog stick. This will use your knife. Run over to any enemy in any of the game modes and use the knife to kill them.

-TDM Starter-
Description: Win your first Team Deathmatch game
Strategy: Play Team Deathmatch. Win.

-The First of Many-
Description: Win your first multiplayer game
Strategy: Just play a game of multiplayer and win.

-Zones Starter-
Description: Win your first Zones game.
Strategy: Win a game of the Zones multiplayer type.

SILVER TROPHIES

______________

-Conqueror-
Description: Win 100 multiplayer games
Strategy: Self-explanatory. You just need to win 100 multiplayer games. You can even just constantly complete split-screen matches until this achievement is satisfied. It does not require that you play online.

-CTF Veteran-
Description: Win 100 Capture the Flag games
Strategy: Just like CTF Starter. x100.

-Lone Wolf-
Description: Play a perfect Deathmatch game (top player, no deaths)
Strategy: Accomplishing this legitimately online will require a lot of skill, or luck. Probably a combination of both. The best way to do this is in a private match, where you won’t have to deal with a bunch of other online players giving you a headache. If you really want to test your multiplayer skill in the game, though, then you should try the legitimate online way. Good luck.

-Outlaw-
Description: Get 1,000 kills in multiplayer
Strategy: You can farm for this one by playing private games, but man, that will take a long time. In fact, it will take an incredibly long time either way. I recommend to do a bit of farming as well as legitimately playing the game’s online multiplayer. The game mode you should focus on for this trophy is Capture the Flag, since that would knock out two birds with one stone.

-Perfect Harvester-
Description: Win a Prospector game without losing any lives
Strategy: Just do exactly as the description says. There’s no real strategy to this except to lower the difficulty and hope for the best.

-Prolific Builder-
Description: Build 100 structures in multiplayer
Strategy: This counts across all the multiplayer modes. You will unlock this naturally while pursuing all the other trophies.

-Prospector Veteran-
Description: Win 50 Prospector games
Strategy: You know the drill.

-Savior of the Spur-
Description: Complete the campaign on Hard difficulty or higher
Strategy: You choose the difficulty at the beginning of each level. Choose Hard mode and complete each level.

-TDM Veteran-
Description: Win 100 Team Deathmatch games
Strategy: Yes. See description.

-Team Leader-
Description: Play a perfect Team Deathmatch game (top player, no deaths)
Strategy: This is much easier done in private games. Not only do you have to worry about the enemies out-doing you and snagging away your opportunity to win the trophy, but your own teammates can as well.

-Zones Veteran-
Description: Win 100 Zones games
Strategy: Yes. Win 100 Zones games.
