'Hoovering Up' Made Easy

Many have expressed trouble achieving the 'Hoovering Up', as beating the online boards takes a significant amount of cooperation. Well, there is one really, really easy way to get this trophy.

 

Though this option is not available on Network Play, it requires only one person (and two controllers) on Local Play. When choosing Local Play, you are given the option to play the Prologue Level. This level is considerably shorter and easier than the three standard levels. Two people could probably run through it in 3 minutes flat.

 

The player uses one controller to do all of the killing, then manually advances Player 2 with the other controller. Though this method may sound slow and tedious (one player repeatedly switching controllers to move 10 meters), it is safe and reliable. In the three standard boards, it is often the case that two players fail to pick up 80% of the available materials total, given all of the side passages to be overlooked. Prologue is short, straightforward, and impossible to screw up. This trick can be done in under 10 minutes alone (even faster with a second local player).

 

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the concensus is that 'Hoovering Up' is an easy trophy. But maybe not. If you are having trouble, try this.

 

Now, you may ask if the same method of one player, two controllers can be used for all trophies (except Rapid Deployment). Yes, it can. However, this method, when used on the full-length levels, is slow enough to make screw-up runs excruciating. I might use it for 'Lazy', but definitely not for 'Indestructible'.

Hoovering Up is easy trophy. You'll get it when going for Lazy and Indestructible with your partner because the "lazy" guy doesn't need any ammo or health.
