Popular Post ProfBambam55 Posted November 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) yo fellow psnprofiles members and gta iv trophy hunters... i apologise for the nature of this thread but have to decided to go forth with creating it as i hope that it will actually be beneficial to the gta iv trophy hunting community here and not just myself...i run month long gta iv sessions a few times a year and am kind of tired of repeating the same instructions over and over and over (i've typed them out thousands of times now)...i thought having a direct reference for those who join our sessions would simplify the time it takes to get organised and allow eager beavers to get right down to business once we all meet up online...i will be describing how typical sessions run and what to expect...if everyone who participates reads this we will be able to knock of trophies quickly and efficiently...and who doesn't like quickly and efficiently?...here goes: before we begin : gta iv has an incredibly moody matchmaking system where it can be very difficult getting everyone in the same lobby at once...i need everyone to perform the following steps at the beginning of each session, please...it will almost guarantee that our matchmaking is simple and successful (there are exceptions though)... if your ps3 is on right now, turn it off/restart it...load up gta iv...from singleplayer, bring up the xmb menu and go to psn > account management > press > select the sign out option...sign in with niko's cell... to bring it up > multiplayer > press and sign in... game invites and friends lists can be very glitchy so here are a few notes...if i or other players do not appear on your friends list perform the above signing out/in again (without resetting console)...turning off your ps4 if you have one can also help in some cases...game invites can be receive via niko's cell by choosing multiplayer > invites...if you have not received a game invite when you are supposed to (it will say invites (0) on your phone) perform the above signing out/in again (without resetting console)... fly the co-op : i will likely be asking people to suicide out of the missions as i prefer to do noose with three active players total and find it best to do bomb da base II and deal breaker with only two...less lag, less people to worry about, meaning less likelihood of getting confused and messing up...if i ask you to suicide out please do the following : at the very beginning of the match select grenades by using on the d-pad...tap once (or hold if using classic control setting)...allow the grenade to blow you up...repeat for all (three) lives...if performed successfully you will now be in spectator mode...yes, the times will still count for the trophy despite showing 0:00.00 upon passing... we will do the modes in the following order... - hangman's noose (aka NOOSE) - time to beat > 2:32... if we have four people in our lobby...two people will be shooters...one person will suicide... your instructions are as follows : you will need to kill a combined total of 15 cops...stay near the jet where we spawn...aim for the face...headshots are one-shot kills...i will be getting our escape heli...when i arrive with the heli come near me but don't get in yet...keep the cops away from petrovic...if he gets shot, he ragdolls like crazy eating up valuable time...look for "ProfBambam55 Suggests Deathmatch" appearing at the top left of your screen...when it pops up, get in the back seat of the heli ASAP...i will dedicate who gets in back left/back right ahead of time to avoid both players running to the same seat...the rest of the mission is my part so you can just relax... here's a quick reference to a video that shows this strategy if interested...i recommend taking a relatively safe approach by standing on either the wing of the jet or one of the shipping crates : https://youtu.be/711s7UXb310?si=Npa-_kBYMo_cYZow - bomb da base II (aka bdb2) - time to beat > 5:34... if we have four people in our lobby...two people will suicide... instructions for active player: at the start of the mission swap to the micro-uzi by pressing once...get in the car with me...this one is pretty simple so you can just shadow me the rest of the mission...the only thing to be aware of is that once the bombs are planted, stop whatever you're doing & get off the boat ASAP...you can jump off any side, water or land makes no difference... feel free to check out this vid to get an idea of how things will work : https://youtu.be/8YWOZ-golQE?si=DPV8ylD2q9kPn3o0 - deal breaker (aka db) - time to beat > 7:03... once again, if we have four people in our lobby...two people will suicide... instructions for active player : stay still till the mission clock hits 15 seconds...wait for the honk and get in with me...we will fly to the deal...i will drop you on the ground...you will need to kill the bikers outside to the right of the building first...make sure to get the drugs they drop as you go...the drugs glow orange like gun pickups but have a green arrow above them...they are also a green square on the minimap...you just need to walk over them to pick them up...it will make a ping noise...once the outside is clear of thugs/drugs, take the yellow stairs up to the first floor (labelled as floor 2)...same deal here on the first floor : kill thugs, get drugs...once the first floor is also completely clear go back down to the outside of the building and watch the minimap...the entire site should be clear and i will be on my way to pick you up with the heli...swap to your micro-uzi, have a look at where i am on the minimap, and run to the heli as quickly as possible...once in the heli here, you can just relax...i.e. no shooting, no getting out again unless the heli gets totalled (it happens, especially if connection is laggy)...i will do all the work on taking out the final spawn and getting us back to the rendezvous... summary : clear outside/first floor...you will have a combined total of three drug packs for this clearance...head outside and meet me...relax...minimap = best friend for drug/thug locations so please use it... the video below has a good strategy for the ground clearance...note how i'm using the pipes and stairs as a kind of cover without actually going into cover...also, staying near the building as i do means less likely to get shot by the thugs in it: https://youtu.be/BCNfAtXL64Q?si=v1-x3snL2hYw5bpp all done with co-op...now onto: competitive modes : trophies to be earned: Cut Your Teeth... Top of the Food Chain... Teamplayer... Taking it for the Team... Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie... wins for Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic (AWP)... possibly Wanted if near $5 mil... free-for-all modes : deathmatch... mafiya work... car jack city... team modes : team deathmatch... team mafiya work... team car jack city... cops n' crooks... turf war... general notes : i have four consoles so we will be able to start these regardless of number of boosters...in team modes i will always be alone on the losing team... to switch teams you will need to navigate the menu on the right hand side of the lobby screen with the d-pad...i will tell you guys which team to go on so be prepared to switch if necessary... please have at least two hours of free time...i like to do all or none of the modes in one shot so if not available for two hours straight please understand that i will postpone the modes till another day if only three of us can meet this requirement... in any mode where there is only one player winning i will always choose alphabetical order to decide in which order players earn their trophies...that way you can take your beef up with the romans if you don't like it... individual score has no impact on whether a mode is considered a win or not for team games...it will be important to have the highest score for free-for-all wins (deathmatch, mafiya work, and car jack city) though... i would prefer if everyone took a turn winning to avoid confusion later if awp should glitch on any of us...meaning, if you already have a few of the modes done, just redo them all again to be safe... the last thing is to be aware of and use the minimap for these modes...you can toggle zoom on it by pressing ...this will also display everyone's current score in the top left corner of the screen... - car jack city : we'll knock these wins off first...it's 10 minutes per match as a minimum duration and by far the most boring mode so i like to get it out of the way... i will announce the winner before each match... the losing players can just idle, as we do not get kicked for idling in gta iv multiplayer...i also like to choose sniper rifles and rpg's as weapons so feel free to mess around with the losing players if the desire strikes...the only important thing is do not mess with the winning player... to win this mode, the winning player will need to head to one of the blue squares that appears on the map/minimap...if not confident with getting there using only the minimap, pause the game by hitting , set a waypoint on the blue box, and use the gps to get there...the blue boxes are cars that need to be delivered...they have a blue arrow above them...once you get into one of these cars, a yellow square will appear on the map...these are delivery points...again, set a gps waypoint if necessary and drive the car into the yellow arrow that will appear on that location of the map... you only need to deliver one car to win this mode so you have two choices : deliver one car and idle or just keep delivering cars till time runs out...i'll leave the choice up to the winner... - team car jack city: my alt will be on the losing team, everyone else will go on the winning team with my main account... same as above; we can either deliver cars till time runs out or deliver one and just relax while the clock ticks down... - team mafiya work : once again, my alt will be on the losing team, everyone else will go on the winning team with my main account...this one can be a little more complicated so i will do my best to be concise here... for this one petrovic will designate tasks for us to accomplish...blue tasks are pickups/deliveries...red tasks are assassination ones... i will choose one player to come with me...we will go directly to get a heli...we will complete all of the blue tasks...if the task is a blue square on the minimap do not go near it... i will also choose one player whose job is to seek out my alt and just kill them over and over non-stop until we finish the mission... the remaining player(s) will get their own vehicle(s) and help complete red tasks only as they tend to have multiple targets and be close together; not so convenient with the heli... the duration will be set to $2500 so the faster we knock off the tasks in a coordinated manner, the faster we get done with this mode...usually takes about 5 minutes... - cops n' crooks : before anyone tries to argue the requirements for awp read this..."yes, i'm 100% sure that you only need to win one mode of cops n' crooks for awp"...i've tested it out at least 100 times...if you find a guide that disagrees with this info please pm the author and ask them how they tested it out...likely, they didn't...they just copied some inaccurate info that was written many years ago by self-proclaimed experts who have no idea how the trophy even works...sorry for the negativity, i've had this argument enough and have been proven right every single time... we will be playing the one for all game mode...once again, we all gang up but this time against my main account...i will suicide for both rounds thereby finishing the match and allowing the opposing team to win...takes about 2 minutes... - turf war : we will go back to teaming up against my alt... we will have two zones to take over...one will be neutral (yellow) and one will be either orange or purple (depending on winning team colour) where the enemy player, my alt, will spawn... we will split up at the start and head to separate turfs...meaning if you see someone heading towards yellow, head to purple/orange...kill the opposing player, if the alt's turf, and get into the zone...picking up the dropped cash of the dead alt will help us towards achieving our goal of acquiring the $1000 needed to finish the match...once all zones are taken over, we can all just kill my alt till we reach our target...this mode takes about 5 minutes with this strat... - deathmatch : if you need top of the food chain : the winning player will meet me at the start of the match near the big flagpole on happiness island...they will camp here on the pistol pickup and kill any enemy player within their range (aside from my alt; continue reading) until the match ends...they will not pick up other player's dropped cash or ammo until they have earned the trophy...as a matter of fact they won't move from this position at all...they also will not kill my alt as i'll put him in a position that makes us spawn closer to the winner...the losing players will just keep running towards the winner's position and allow themselves to be killed repeatedly until the match ends...no idling here please..active participation makes this a quick one...roughly 4 minutes/person... side note : melee kills with a pistol do not count for the trophy so do not get too close to the winner, please... if you don't need top of the food chain : same as above; except i will set the match to $500 duration and rpg's as a weapon choice...this should take about one minute... - team deathmatch : if you need teamplayer : we will do a variation of the strategy outlined in the multiplayer guide...very important : do not kill unless i instruct you to do so...experience has taught me that it is best to call out each player, each kill, with this one to avoid rpg's flying everywhere and to allow me enough time to get both accounts to the meeting point (they almost always spawn on opposite ends of the map), so be patient please... we will all go on separate teams...my alt account needs to be the orange team...we will all meet and group up wherever my alt spawns...we will take turns blowing up the group with rpg's...one time only per person...aim for the feet...once everyone has one group kill, i will leave and come back with my main account...each player will then take turns killing me, and only me, just one time...i will repeat this leaving/rejoining process until everyone has earned their trophy...again, i will call out each player, each time i want them to kill... if you don't need teamplayer : once we have gotten everyone's teamplayer trophy, you will team up against my alt and main account...do not kill my alt...be patient...i will spawn right beside him if he stays alive so only kill my main account please...side note: there will be a spawn shield preventing me from taking damage upon respawning so you may need to wait a few seconds to be able to kill me again... - mafiya work : it only takes two players to complete this mode so we will now split up in groups of twos to do this final win... important note : set the duration to 10 minutes...some recommended settings would be : traffic > parked, pedestrians > off, weapons > smgs or assault rifles, time of day > midday, weather > clear... the winning player will only need to complete one task in order to achieve a win...as with car jack city, whether the winner chooses to complete just one and let time expire or do tasks for the duration of the match makes no difference here... and that's pretty much all you need to know...the average time to complete the above competitive wins and co-op is about three hours...thanks for reading...see you all in game...cheers... ** i will be keeping this thread locked to avoid unecessary bumping and comments...the goal is to allow it to stay as true to its purpose as possible...for more information on earning the gta iv multiplayer trophies please feel free to have a look at this guide : https://psnprofiles.com/guide/3606-grand-theft-auto-iv-multiplayer-trophy-guide Edited February 8 by ProfBambam55 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
