Valley of Death DLC Tips 2024

[servus99]

Hi there,

just wanted to share some insights after finally completing the DLC Trophies yesterday. Hope this helps some future players...

 

So, there are 2 easy trophies that can be done solo pretty much with no difficulty at all. "Unstoppable" you just kill your convoy with c4 and drive to the finish and "More Speed, less haste" you just run, noobtube the heli, then rush to the pilots.

 

Now for the difficult part:

1. Get gold medal on all 8 DLC missions (2 hard ones are Survival missions "Last Stand" on 'The High Ground' and 'Hold The Line').
   • see tips below
2. You also have to get 1 million points on a survival map (for gold you only need 500k), I recommend you do "The High Ground" it is way easier.
   • see tips below
3. You also need to kill 1 tank with c4
   • I recommend "Hold the Line", the map is harder, but killing tanks is easier, especially if you camp near Area1 (the one far away from main base)
   • tanks on "Hold the Line" start spawning on 3-1 iirc, on the easier map "The High Ground" they start only at 4-1 iirc, also it's a bit harder to do there

 

Survival tips:

We played with 3 humans, 1 AI (4 player is probably much easier, strategies still apply)

 

"The High Ground" 1 Million points trophy (gets you the gold for 500k points automatically)

• All players use Lv20 grenadier, use grenade launcher attachment, use perk 1 "more explosive damage/better noobtubes", use perk 2 "more armor", use AT mines for vehicles
  • you could give 1 guy the perk 2 for AP-noobtube rounds (S8 perk iirc) instead of armor, that way you can 1-hit-kill the HMV and APC vehicles
  • you could give 1 player the Rifleman class with scoped Rifles to be a better long distance shot, however noobtubes with the perk1 upgrade are so good and fly in a straight line, you wont even need your normal bullets, it's crazy
  • you can kill yourselves some times,
    • refilling AT mines to put down + refilling c4s
    • AND you can pick up the same weapon from your corpse, euqipping it as secondary weapon (2x M4 Rifle), this gives you twice the noobtubes before having to refill the launcher ammo, however some one should keep stinger/javelin for helis
  • We gave the AI the auto rifleman class
• Now just camp.
  • All players except one should camp near the cliff, looking down and noobtube all spawning enemies. If you are out of noobtubes, just run to the base middle and refill noobtubes (it's just a 30 meter walk or so)
    • These players camping the cliff should take a stinger as secondary to stinger down all the attack helicopters (dangerous) and bonus-points-helicopters (good for points)
    • place down AT mines on the long road near in the front (like near area 2 or so)
  • The one other player camps on top of the building in your main base, looking towards the back (tanks, APCs will spawn there and get to your base much quicker then anything from the front), this player can also place AT mines on the road in the back, also killing tanks with laid down c4s if need be
    • He can call out vehicles from the back and helis from the distance
• See video 1

 

"Hold The Line" 500k points (Read above first, do the other map first, just get gold on this one, this map is harder)

• Same setup as above and class info as above
  • we used 3 grenadiers
    • all of us used perk1 for stronger launchers
    • 2 of us used perk2 more armor, 1 guy used the AP launcher ammo to 1-hit-kill HMV/APCs (you might give 2 people this APC launcher ammo perk)
  • we gave the AI the Rifleman class with scoped weapons, Surpression perk and light gear perk
• Camping spots
  • Now we just camped, AI was ordered to the building near the main base, telling him to surpress the hill near the main base
  • 2 of us camped near the main base building near the AI mate, but not close to him, rather at the "tent" or ammo spot with the fishing-net over it. From there you can noobtube towards the APCs on the hill and humans on the hill better
    • place safety AT mines in the main base, should APCs/tanks get through
    • I recommend 1 guy takes Stinger for helis (attack helis/point helis)
    • there will be spec ops troop-dropping helis, you can noobtube them if you have AP-tube ammo
    • I recommend 1 guy takes Javelin for tanks if they come over the hill
  • the other guy (probably 2 if you play in 4-squad) camps far away from the other ones (area 1), having his eye on the long road, calling out helis, destroying APCs/tanks with AT mines and c4 (easy for the trophy here)
    • you could give this guy the AP-tube ammo (perk2) to make it easier for him to 1-hit-kill APCs, but armor (perk2) will be good as well, since he will get shot by dozens of foot enemies (if you play in 4-squad, give them one and the other)
    • this area 1 position might get overrun sometimes, but it is not bad since it is not the main area
  • see video 2
