Kitted Out and special items

[JeManquedHygiene]

Can anyone clarify what "special items" are ? Are these the items you find in the special chests that spawn only with certain killers, like the spray for Nemesis or Mastermind ? If so that would be pretty terrible, as you have to get lucky and find the right killer to work on this.

[OmegaRejectz]

Those are indeed what Special Items are. The wiki lists these:
EMP (Singularity)
First Aid Spray (Mastermind)

Flash Grenade (Leon Teachable)

Keycard (unsure if this works, it's tied to an Easter Egg on the new Nostromo map)

Lament Configuration (Cenobite)

Pocket Mirror (Archives)

Remote Flame Turret (Xenomorph)

Vaccine (Nemesis)

VHS Tape (Onryo)

 

Which means if you don't want to be at the mercy of whatever the Killer's bringing, then you'll want to have the Leon Flashbang perk equipped.

The Killer one will be rough. Because, even though you decide on what the Limited Item is, how often are you hitting people carrying a Limited Item?

[Shinobi]

I would assume you are correct on what counts as a "special item".

I don't think it will be that bad. Disarm and dismember can be regular items OR special items. So med-kits, flashlights, and tool boxes should count as well.

 

Also it requires hits and not downs so that's a plus lol.

Thanks ! So at least there's a way to make consistent progress by playing Leon, that's good to know.

Just  tested this and although it says 35 different matches each separate item counts, so if you put a flame turret down you can only get 1 a match from flame turrets but if you are also running flashbang you can get 1 a match from them, so I've been getting 2 a match by using flame turrets and flashbangs

Nice! That'll help.

the ps4 version only lists special items and makes no mention of normal ones, so im not sure if its just bhvr messing up or if its different

Ah okay. PS5 version says either or. I assumed both would be the same. I guess I expect too much from BHVR.

The Steam version also has no mention of regular items. So either PS5 got lucky & it'll be much faster on there. OR it's a typo & it will only progress via Special Items like PS4 & PC.

 

Edit: Xbox also has no mention of regular items.

Im doing all on my PS5 version, hopefully after I get this trophy I will need only one more on PS4.

Sounds like a typo on the PS5 version then. Can't see them leaving it like that for only the PS5 version.

It is a typo, only special items count on PS5 just like the other versions.

can confirm this, drastically reduces the grind, nice find!

[Thornhorn7]

Shouldn't be too difficult considering one in every ten games is against a Wesker nowadays.

[nooitzben]

It looks like the ps5 description may have a typo and lists "holding an item or special item" but the ps4 version just lists special item for Disarm and Dismember. I also notice the trophy picture shows a med kit which is a regular item not a special item. So for this trophy does it count for only special items or also it includes regular items like toolboxes, medkits, flashlights etc when you hit the survivors as killer? Can anybody confirm to make sure?

For the trophy "disarm and dismember" it has to be a special item on ps5, I have tried hitting survivors with normal items and the tracker never went up until I hit someone with a special item.

[Nerkey]

For "Kitted Out" you can do 3 per games if you have the flashbang, killer item and white glyph challenge it count once it's repaired (I tried and it work). Maybe we can do 4 in one game if the keycard count too

 

For "Disarm and Dismember" the best way is to play Wesker for his spray

[nooitzben]

I thought for Disarm and Dismember its easiest to use Singularity?

Why not but the Wesker Spray can be used twice so more chance to survivors have it on them its a better way in my opinion

But Emp charges are almost infinite..it just needs time to recharge or you can manually make it recharge faster from the box to get more EMP sticks.

Survivors mostly use it on your "cameras" when you are not around so yeah maybe but I did it with Wesker in 2 games

Yeah I was focus on people with spray and I didnt hook them so I was able to hit them a lot of times

I'd say that's an outlier. I was under the impression that Wesker would be easiest, but that was due to me forgetting EMPs exist.

 

You can recall your biopods whenever too, so once you see them get EMPs you can recall and then they'll have nothing to use it on.

Singularity's the safe bet.

I wonder if using the keycard on the Nostromo map counts too. Given that it gets used up and it's part of that list. Maybe I'll try and test it if I can manage to get another map offering
