Uncharted 4 Survival tips.

[Soufwar]

First of all, I will say that I am not here to help boost or carry you so please don’t ask. I am just a fellow trophy hunter who grinded the shit out of this DLC and got it done. I will share some of my knowledge that applies to the latest patch, 1.32.

 

1- First things first, don’t waste your relics on Vanity Chests, only open DLC Gameplay Chests, DO NOT FORGET THIS. 

(You also get 200 golden coins, keep them until you know what the game isn’t all about then use them on a good booster later on when you feel comfortable with your play style).

 

2- Change the daily challenges setting to only Survival and do them everyday, get your offline bonus everyday, grind multiplayer trials to boost your relic count and especially try to always get 3 stars on everything. You might be wondering why I am mentioning the obvious but reminding you never hurts. 

 

3- Do not use your One-use boosters until you start doing your crushing run, save them (all of them).

 

4- Now the real tips and tricks start, your first goal should be to get to level 50, getting 30 stars on light, moderate and hard along the way to get yourself ready for crushing. Leveling up will unlock all sorts of new items for you to aid you in battle from Long Guns and Pistols to Boosters and Loadout Points, the priority is level 50 because anything less than that wouldn’t even get you through hard.

 

5- At this point you should have unlocked a few DLC Gameplay Chests to help you out, make sure that you use whatever boosters you unlocked in your personal loadout but also try and make them fit the stage, for example stage 3 will require you to equip Speedy G3 for faster speed so when you’re playing the treasure stage you can collect all of them much faster...things like that. 

 

6- The best guns according to everyone who played Crushing are the Mazur, the Fal, the M14 and the Mettler, ask anyone and they will swear by these guns. The best pistols are both Para pistols and the Raficca. Obviously you need all of these at level 5 so just keep grinding boss levels until you get them done. Light and moderate diffficulty will level up your weapons to level 3, hard to level 4 and crushing to level 5. Stage 2 and 4 will drop pistol upgrades on any difficulty and stages 6,8 and 10 will drop you long gun upgrades, note that stage 10 drops 2 long gun upgrades if you finish it successfully because there is 2 bosses. 

 

7- Glitches, learn what the glitches are and how to do them so that you don’t ruin your own game when the pros or more experienced players are glitching the bosses. 

 

8- Back to loadouts, make a specific loadout for each stage, the way I did it was having 10 different loadouts going from stage 1 to stage 10 in their names. This way I would just swap loadouts for each stage and have the advantage of being extra prepared for each stage. 

 

9- Characters: they’re not all good, for example Nadine’s hair is too big so I advice you not play Lowry her since her hair will bother other players by invading their reticle while shooting, you won’t understand what I am talking about until you actually have it happen to you. If you absolutely have to play with Nadine then put hat or facewear that covers her hair, like the beanies. 

 

10- this is just to reiterate on 9, try to face wear not wear big hats like the pirate hat, it will invade other players’ reticles and ruin their aim (if you’re standing in line shooting of course). 

 

Thats all for now, I don’t know if I should add a few videos with the glitches and my personal loadouts to help you more but i’ll wait for whoever will need this small guide of tips and tricks to decide and if they do need them i’ll Happily add them

Thanks Soufwar for your Survival tips... just done 6h speedrun and beginning/preparing for the last ones Crushing...It trophies. I appreciate you wrote this down and I'll keep in mind Your tips. I saw (another topic) that shorty2905 did it solo. I'd prefer to play 2P (with a friend) + 1bot ... it is much harder than doing that 3P (1 friend + 1 randomP)? I assume it should be easier than doin' this SOLO anyway? Thanks in advance.

You can't play with a friend and a bot. The bot aonly appears if you're alone. While it's doable with two people, you're going to have an easier time with three. And yes, three coordinated people can do much better than one person wtih the stupid AI.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news friend but you can’t play this with a friend or a bot. What solo means in this game is that you play with a bot. The bot is not by choice, if you start a game alone the bot is mandatory to be in your party. If you play with a friend or a random player you can’t have a bot there, which makes it almost impossible to play this game solo (except if you become insanely good at it). I recommend you play with friends and follow some of my tips above since they will at least give you an idea of what the game feel is then you can formulate your own play style or way of going about these trophies.

oh don't forget about new mystical boosters, at least two players add mysical expect and steadfast too their loadouts it's helps a lot with the bosses. Also use mines  as well, the enemies will back off give you breathing room.  last tip use the box to heal down players or use helping hand 3 is a must,  oh build up on cash .( spam the touch pad to get out of box, much faster not pressing circle trust me.)?

Hi,

 

I have video guides on YouTube of Stages 1 - 9 on Crushing and Stage 10 on Hard; it'll suffice for now. Make sure you watch Stage 4, before you watch Stage 10 as it explains key things.

 

The videos may help as they explain the exploits - how to use and perform them as well as showing you where all the good locations are. And this all works on the latest patch.

 

Easily the most helpful video guides for people that want to exploit the Warlords and go out of map in Stage 9; making it a lot easier. 

 

You'll be able to earn the "...It" Trophy as painlessly possible.
