PS5/PS4 Platinum + Hardcore mode

[alineli]

This is the route I took to get the platinum trophy for PS5 and PS4 versions:
1 - PS5: New Game (minimun security), collectables + miscellaneous trophies.
2 - PS5: New Game+ (maximum security), then loaded the last save on the PS4 and got few autopops (finishing the game, maximum security, NG+, collectables)
3 - PS5: Hardcore
4 - PS4: loaded last hardcore save and starded Harcore NG+ (miscellaneous trophies + story and Hardcore NG+)
5 - PS5: loaded last hardcore NG+ (got the trophy)
6 - PS5: started a New Game+ (minimum security) and upgraded all weapons.

You can do the complete Armed to the Teeth (purchase all weapons and upgrades) on minimum security, it does not need to be done on hardcore mode

 

PS: I didn't buy the season pass, gonna wait for a price drop.
- It took 4 and a half runs to get all trophies (without contagion dlc)

- I didn't do the difficulty glitch

If you play the EU version of the game it's possible to use the same saves from the US version. Gotta play the game one more time to get all the trophies (except contagion).

Hi Alineli

 

I'm doing the following:

PS5: 1 Blind playthrough on easy (After Finishing the game I will load the PS4 Version to unlock the endgame trophy)
PS5: New game plus on Maximum security & collectables (will load PS4 Save after ending and before collecting last collectible)
PS4: Clean up playthrough (kills trophies and other miscellaneous) 

PS5: Hardcore (will load ps4 to unlock end game trophy) 

PS5: Hardcore new game plus (same here for PS4)

PS5: Contagion without dying (will do last chapter on PS4)

 

Total 5.5 playthroughs

 

Does my approach make sense? Thanks!
