MrCostari Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I see that a lot of people have problems with this trophy and I often get questions about it. So I want to points some things out. The best way to go for this trophy is by just playing through the game and check weapon crates EVERY 5 HOURS. Because every 5 hours you can get a orange weapon from a weapon crate. That's always. You can't get 2 orange weapons in a row or 2 within 1 hour (unless you use the glitch, but I'm not sure if it will counts towards the trophy) Assuming you need 5 weapons and 5 x 5 is 25 hours. I think you will put 25 hours in the game with 1 character, so just be sure you open a weapon crate every 5 hours. And there are lots of weapon crates to be found. Can't miss it. If you happen to not get the trophy after you finished with your main character. Then you can either keep playing with your main character till the next weapon. Or you can work on the trophy for completing Act I with all the 4 characters. If you take it slow, you'll play for 5 hours with a character in Act I. About drops from zombies. I don't know exactly if there also is a 5 hour timer for orange weapon drops from zombies, but I do know that if you get one, it will reset the 5 hour time for a weapon crate. Always pick those weapons up, they count towards the trophy. But what doesn't count towards the trophy? - Quest rewards - Bought in stores - Dropped/traded with other players. I hope this is clear for everyone and they understand more about the trophy Any more questions, feel free to ask me. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iyashii Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 This would only apply to chests. An hour ago the girlfriend and I were playing and I looted an orange from a chest. Just a few minutes after that she looted an orange from a zombie drop. I can't say for sure if this only applies to chests, but it clearly does not apply across the board.

But with finding a orange weapon as a drop you resetted it back to 5 hours, unless you find another drop. But that's pretty rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySupreme Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd say I'm easily around 10-15 hours in, and I've only found 1 exceptional weapon. The funny thing is, I found it whilst I was killing zombies waiting for my mate to send me an invite, since I've been playing with 2 people I know, so I didn't technically find it in our game. One of the zombies I killed dropped them and they were level 8 brass knuckles. I'm now level 21 and haven't seen another since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY_Madness Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Actually there is a much quicker way, after you have gotten around chapter 12, you need a character with the ability to open L3 locks, fast travel to bunker #2 open the all the chests, then take the tunnel and open the other L3 chest there, fast travel to overpass camp and loot the chests there. I should not that if you do this properly and just Only look in the L3 chests you can get 1 orange/legendary weapon every 15-20 mins. I ended up having about 10 on my first playthrough.

sarahxbabes Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 How many L3 boxes is there in overpass because I can only find two and I have been doing it for a hour now and not found any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuiG Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I got this trophy without even caring about it before I reached Act3 on my first playthrough. I loot everything I see and it was very, very easy. 4 out of 5 were found in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris not sure thats quite right? i just got the trophy last night legit and i have not played around 25hrs i only just got to the prison and the chest in the room you open the cell doors gave my 5th weapon. i got 2 around the labs just before i went there and i didn't wait 5 hours mind you i did save and comeback later but it's supposed to be 5hr solid is it not? .(infact in game play terms/actual time i may have got 3 in around 5 or 6hours or so) i do have the 3 perks that increase the chances of a rare item from a box. and i open just about every one i see even if it meant dying. anyway what about the people who posted they been playing for ages and barely got any yet if every 5hrs it supposed to dish them out. i think the 3 perk upgrades is the only way the 5hr thing works. OH AND I GOT ONE FROM A LEVEL 2 BOX BEHIND THE JUNGLE RIVER VILLAGE SPEED TRAVEL ROOM. Edited July 23, 2012 by johnnyhotrocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZUYAH997 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey, I got an orange weapon, but it is normal hammer. Nothing special about it, it's called hammer and looks like a normal hammer, but the weapon name is orange. Does it count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special about it, it's called hammer and looks like a normal hammer, but the weapon name is orange. Does it count? Yeah probably. I found one outside the police station in Moresby that was an orange knife. Nothing special, just a knife and I almost didn't pick it up but I did and it still counted.

Chris I had no troubles at all getting this trophy with my Purna in my first playthrough. Ok, i spent a lot, a lot of time traveling around, btw i must have found at least 10 or 12 orange weapons inside boxes (4 already within act I) and i did not activate the Purna's ability to find better weapons despite i reached level 60 with her. So maybe choosing Purna's character for your first playthrough migth make this trophy easier and Purna is also very strong strong with her own upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Mader Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Reading beforehand about the headache this trophy causes for many people, I dreaded it quite a bit. I guess I was pretty lucky because I had found about seven or eight orange weapons before act II was finished. So maybe Kazuyah997 is right and it is easier with the GOTY edition?

Snakemaru Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Good thing this did not give hardships because I just explore the map almost thoroughly and luckily I found my 5 before act 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
