Hazard Zone - Help, tips and related trophies

Recommended Posts

If you're on PS5 and your "ESCAPE ARTIST" trophy (25 extractions) doesn't pop when it should, try playing one round on the PS4 version.

 

Someone mentioned it either in this or another Hazard Zone thread and it actually worked for me.

 

I was at way over 30 extractions already (noted it down manually) but no trophy.

 

Extracted once on the PS4 version and got the trophy straight away (for the PS4 version of course, I also got a bunch of other trophies auto-pop in the process).

 

Then switched back to the PS5 version, did one more extraction and boom, there it is - the final trophy I was still missing!

 

So in case you bought the digital PS5 version, you also got the PS4 version and can download it to your PS5. All unlocks, stats, etc. will be the same as the PS5 version.

Might be worth giving it a try in case you're also stuck on this one trophy.

PS: I had to turn on crossplay both times though because it seems like there's just not a lot of players left playing the game.

so i finally finished this and ill add some tips to this dreaded game mode

spawn locations are the same. if you hit the touchpad when you land you can see what other helicopters are close by. odds are youll be running into the nearest team

on kaleidoscope, that middle dome is a death sentence. if your helicopter lands you there youll prob be stuck there. i dont think i ever won a round landing near it. i was better off going to the tall buildings in the corner if possible and waiting for a helicopter and sneaking in

if first helicopter has a pack of enemies around it wait for the second.

if there isnt enough player then ai bots will fill the slots. the ai almost always seems to travel in a tight group and are relentless untill you kill the off. the one good thing is they are mostly bad aim unless you are a worse aim. if you kill someone glance to the left of the screen and see if it says [ai] next to their name. then youll know the rest of his team are prob going to try to hunt you down. its best to wipe them out

the most important tip is if you are in a lobby with a weak squad just leave. your wasting your time. try to have most people over level 20. if you have someone who is a level 40 then you can possibly survive with a level 1 and level 10. try to have at least one person who is level so but level 30 or 40+ is ideal. if you get 2 that are this high up your chances are even better. 3 high levels then youll prob do good unlesss something shady happens like a bad drop

things to buy i usually got tthe updated starting gun so the zoom is a little better. forget the armor plate it dont do shyt. replace the free armor plate with a deployment. but if you have 2 or 3 spots then ill usually throw a armor plate in there and heal faster.

try adding the randoms to your friends if they are really good. there is a few non trophy hunters playing for fun who will help you. i was invited to a squad and mics helped a bit. they helped me get clean exit.

if you enter a plane with enemies nearby, theyll prob try to throw a grenade inside at you. its cheap and personally i think it should be patched because it really pissed me off.

patience. this trophy is hard and anyway you try it it takes a while. its a grind and its about 50% luck based imo. i played a entire day and got 0 extractions or drives. they kept giving me awful teams and awful landing. and then i woke up the next day and got like 15 in the morning. 

sometimes you can let the other people battle it out. as you and your team hide. then you and your team creep up on them and smoke them when the plane comes and steal their hard earned data drives or at least get a extraction out of it. but also to counter that if your squad is beast you might be better rushing in and killing everyone closeby to get rid of as many players as possible

look for the "squad eliminated" text on the left. this asssures you they wont be redploying the people you just killed

oh also look in your tags for the early bird progression. this tracks 10 extractions and 50 data drives. after 10 write them down. mine poppped on the 26th so i had to play a few extra hours for that 1 extra stupid extraction

Biggest problem I find is people just running off into danger, trying to escape with full squad is hard when 3 of you are tight and the other runs off 200m away and gets killed no matter how many times you ping locations etc, I've found not picking up data drives is best solution so enemy can't find you.  Think I have 21 extractions now and i've had 4 full squad ones (no trophy yet :( ), really annoying this mode, I like it but it takes so long to get into a game, it should just fill it with bots if not enough people within a min as sometimes I am waiting 5 mins for game to start (cross play is on)

Where do you come from? Never had problems with matchmaking, even 00:00 AM. Playing in Germany

25 extractions will prevent me from getting this Platinum, I just hate this game mode so much. If it was more like Division DZ or Escape from Tarkov / Vigor based extractions it would be far more enjoyable. Maybe in the future it'll receive updates to make it more fun and I'll go for it then.

That blows, I've counted 28 extractions now, but I wasn't in the chopper for 4 of them so I'm not sure they counted.

 

Yeah well if you see earlier in the thread it took me 37 extractions before I got it, it took another guy 27, so its just a lottery how many it takes

Do you know for sure that you have to be in the chopper when it leaves? Does the whole team have to be? This mode is such a bore

Hazard Zone is Dead after few month, im searching match over hours and weekend nobody is playing this mode shit EA

This is seriously concerning. I've also noticed it's taking longer and longer to find matches in the main modes (conquest and breakthrough). Game is dead.

Hi, so after spending a few weeks on this mode I started to enjoy it, I had upto 33 extractions and 6 full squad no deaths and no trophy popped so I started a list again and got to another 2 full extractions for the trophy to pop and 27 extractions before that popped.

 

It only counts when you are on the plane itself, does not count if you are outside of the plane or dead.

 

Best tips is to look for uplinks and ignore data drives, get as many uplinks as possible and try and get the LV but with the cannon (not gun) so you might need to lvl that up in normal game 1st.

 

If you get LV try and camp high and take out teams from a distance especially when extraction zone 1 comes up.

 

Make sure you pick the right specialist, manifest I used Mackay so you can grapple up high, also Boris and Irish and great for the end as you can put down the turret and projectile destroyer down when in the plane

Fuck. Thanks for confirming, I have no clue how many extractions I'm on then as I've always been counting even when just my teammates extract too, as you still get 1 on the extraction streak when just they do. What a piece of donkeydung game.

So today I was playing Hazard and I was killing AI in the mode which was strange did EA add AI Bots ?

 

Its a PvPvE mode, so it has always had bots. They spawn around the data pods and the extraction zones. Unless you can actually see AI on the player list?

Finally got this shit fuck of a trophy, for anyone new to start, ONLY count extractions where you end up on the chopper!


Even when you’re DBNO but inside the chopper? How many times does it happen to me? I’m losing my sanity over this shitty dead mode and buggy trophy.

The thing is I was counting extractions before I knew only certain ways counted, so I don't know how many exactly I was on as I stopped counting after 25, but it must be near 40. And no I think you have to be alive when it extracts. I would also strongly recommend playing as Dozer so you can get out his shield once you get in the chopper waiting for it to leave. If you're good enough enemies wont be able to get past you, playing as Dozer has saved my ass countless times in the chopper.

This trophy alone kills the joy of this game.
