Popular Post VirtualNight Posted October 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) What i'm going to say is based from my personal observations and those from my group. Issues The online component of this game is decently stable for the unranked matches and co-op, but for ranked matches it is completely different. To explain this decently, let's point the issues and common doubts: this game is NOT region locked as several people say, i had 3 not europeans in my group and 2+me europeans, and we could play together this game IS VERSION locked, this does not apply for unraked/co-op but for ranked rooms there is a huge compatibility issue, several people can't play together in ranked rooms no matter who is the host, there is no solution except changing something about DNS and other stuffs but i have no knowledge about that, so if 2 people in your group can not connect each other you have to kick one of them These are the first things you must know to make your group, so after each new entry be sure that he/she can connect with anyone in ranked rooms (test in ranked rooms!). Now, after you have made your group, you may think that finally you can do this online part... no, the hell has just began, in fact there is a reason for why this platinum is so rare ? The extimated time to finish is between 12-16 hours (because of the online issues), 2 modes can be done with 4 people but the cops&robbers mode requires 6 people. There are new issues now, follow these rules to have as less problems as possible: after each round there is a 30sec result screen, NO ONE HAS TO PRESS THE X BUTTON, whoever does so has a small chance to being kicked from the room, so just wait that those 30sec pass sometimes the servers simply do not cooperate, in each game someone gets kicked for no reason, if this keeps happening you may better skip that boosting day after 1 game ends, do not press X but O instead, because if you pick X actually you do reserach for a room or eventually make it, unless you coordinate when the others has to press X i recommend that all press O, also because of the next point it can happen that the host, after 1 game, if he/she makes the room again then almost no one can join, to fix this after each game the host should disconnect from the psn and reconnect before hosting again Boost strategy Now, let's see how to boost everything. It is true that several trophies can be done in 1 round, but since there are several people and unless you are using skype there will be a lot of confusion, so do 1 trophy at time for each one. Check 1 trophy, name it and do it for every person, i recommend to make turns by alphabetical order. I won't describe each trophy since the description and the trophy guide are clear, instead i gonna talk about each mode: Fragile Alliance: this is arcade mode but with online people and 3 rounds only, you need at least 4 players to begin a match. Here you can betray the allies. You should begin here your first action related trophies such as escaping from being a human shield and Unfinished Business trophy. Undercovered Cop: this is the same as the Fragile Alliance mode, everything is the same except for the fact that one person will be chosen as an undercovered cop, whose job is to kill all criminals. Here you have to do 2 trophies but since who is gonna pick as cop is random, this may take some attempts Cops&Robbers: this is a 3v3 or more mode, 3 people will be the cops and 3 the criminals, each team will do both roles at least once for a total of 4 rounds. Here you have to do 2 trophies, Alpha Male and 20 wins. This is the simple strategy for wins (looks that if all the other team disconnects the game simply ends with no win, but i may be wrong, you can check the trophy status in the main menu to test): pick the Bridge map (unless you have to do the dlc, check below), if you wanna have everyone gaining the same amount of wins, let the people join 1 by 1 in a specific order the winning team: when they are the cops they let the criminals escape asap, when they are criminals they escape asap with few money (100,000$ is ok, no need to waste more time) the losing team: when they are the cops they let the criminals escape, when they are the criminals they escape with no money picked Each game takes around 10min, so for 20 wins for each team you will need around 7-8 hours and this is the longest part of boosting. Last note to do is about scum/saint rank: it is affected by the rank of the others too, if for example there are 2 saints, no one else can become a saint, that's why someone may need to use a sec acc to allow the others to reach the rank they need. DLC: any stat for a dlc trophy counts only in the 3 dlc maps. The trophies don't need a description, but if you still need 20 cops&robbers wins then you can mix them with the Poddle trophy. Play in Radio Tower, both the losing and winning team can pick all 4M (money are shared so it doesn't matter who pick them), then just escape, however to avoid a draw, in order to have the winning team to win it has to kill the other team components at least once (to have 30,000$ of difference from losing team) but only when the losing team is cops. Another note: for the 150 kills as cop, i recommend the Radio Tower map, the criminals should kill the goons before the cop begins his kills. Usually a single cop can achieve between 25-40 kills in 1 round Edited December 2, 2018 by VirtualNight 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddlingdan Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Cheers for this @VirtualNight, It’s also worth mentioning the issue we had regarding the DLC when we all installed it half way through the boost, which meant that I couldn’t connect anymore until I deleted all utility and save data, so if anyone’s having an issue with this then it’s worth backing your save, however to avoid this if you’re doing the DLC, then have it installed from the start to ensure no issues are encountered!

Now that you mention it, there was a guy in my group who had this issue, he could always connect to us but when we all got the dlc suddently he couldn't anymore and we weren't able to play with him anymore, thanks for reporting this ?

GIBBYVA Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Can the 4 player trophies be boosted with 2 consoles & split-screen or does it have to be 4 discs/consoles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're playing with people that have disc versions, you need to have 4 PS3's and 4 discs to play. Split screen is not allowed for MP. If you are playing the digital version, then 4 PS3's with 4 digital copies are needed. Basically each player needs a copy of the game, and everyone boosting must either be all physical copies, or all digital. You can't play online against people with different versions. Also some of the OP's info is not quite correct. Like for example becoming a saint or scum. It doesn't matter what your partner's ranks are, it's possible to have everyone be a scum or a saint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
