NinjaCameraman Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I have been chomping at the bit to get my second plat in Eat Lead and today I asked a friend how he got Bedlam Basher because every guide I try fails and his reply said the trophy is glitched and it has only been patched in Australia so it's impossible for someone in the US like me to get it. Is he right about this or being full of it? I rented this for two things: The Voice Actors, and the mildly easy plat. It was a fun game but I could've been grinding through PoP some more to get that over with instead of wasting my time on a second playthrough to get everything in Eat Lead Edited April 20, 2009 by NinjaCameraman Changed title so this doesn't appear to be me telling people how to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwatTJ Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Your friend is full of it. Have you tried my method I wrote in the guide on this site? Got it first try once I did it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even understand half of what you wrote. The trophy is NOT glitched every where but Australia. How else did I get it and others did as well?

I'll go check out what you posted. The last thing I tried was standing behind a spawn point and trying to hit him but the dude always turns around during the punch animation so it never counts.

Sympathie Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I can't seem to get this trophy. Its the only one stopping me from getting this platinum. Swat method sucks anyone have any better tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakai Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 there was one area on my first playthrough where I could have gotten it, in level two. You walk down a hall and a baddie runs across to the left and hides behind a plant. Personally, I'll try the method above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapur Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Uh... yeah, I'm from Australia and I don't remember having to download a patch when I first put the game in. And that was only yesterday so I'm like 95% sure that there was no patch. Also, on a more related note, Swat, i tried your method and for some reason the bandit always spawn in this weird place. He sort of spawn IN the chain link fence, so if I stand at the back of the fence, his spawn animation makes him walk forward a few steps unto the other side of the fence and if I stand at the front of the fence, he automatically starts shooting and ends up being on the back side of the fence, so yeah its kinda weird. I haven't really been trying for it though, tried 3-4x on max hazard when I got to that part before I gave up on it for now to keep going. On the last mission now, I'll try it again after I finish the game. Other than that, the trophy guide is top notch dude. Thanks a lot for writing that.

The bolded part of your quote is how it's supposed to be if I remember right. You'll need to stand at the back then as soon as he spawns you'll run up behind him. You can't just stand still and hit the attack button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still a high chance of the bandit turning to look at you during the punch animation. The stratigy isn't flawed or anything, it's just that there's a hellish amount of luck involved.

blinkkam182 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 hey i found a link on youtube that really helps it may take a few tries. it took about 5 or 6 tries for me but it works [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nhtC1ZzljI]YouTube - Eat Lead (Achievement Guide) - Bedlam Basher[/ame] some other tips he doesn't mention that helped me were: 1. make sure your crosshairs are on the right (click R3 until they are) 2. use your hazard pistol 3. and after you kill the first guy make sure you sprint (L1) directly to the second guy behind the barrel if you don't sprint it can't work this way this i think is the easiest way. its much better than the other hints i found on this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinfeld Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Got this on approximately my 6th go using the above youtube method. The shot in the back while they're behind the barrell is genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having trouble with this as well, but I am going to try out what you said. I was trying on maximum hazard and can't do it, so I assume I get more reaction time on minimum?

SwatTJ Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I went ahead and added the video to the guide as an alternative way to get it. I rented the game so I can't personally test it myself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linglingzors Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I can't seem to get this trophy. Its the only one stopping me from getting this platinum. Swat method sucks anyone have any better tips? What I did because this method didn't work too well for me was freeze a bandit. He spins when he is frozen so you can't hit him from behind. BUT when he is starting to un-freeze, he will be stationary, smack him at this time and you have yourself a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addmanrcace Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I just got the armor power-up and waited for one to take cover, when he did, I went to the other side and bashed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvella7 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 what about the women you beat in level 5 i think, u shoot them then they bend over, cant u melee them from behind then, because they bend down and stay still for quite a long time, try that way and see if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyrexian Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 There is a super easy way to get this without even trying. Shortly after the section noted in the guide you get the freeze power. Shortly after that you will walk into a room with a bar on the right. I believe there are two or three cowboys and a Russian or two that spawn in here. Simply dispatch all the baddies except for a cowboy. Fire a couple o rounds to freeze him, then run up and melee him from behind. Presto! Bedlam Basher without the bullshit headache.

Muthafodder Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 This is definitely one of the most frustrating trophies in the game. Finally got it through the same method in the video on maximum hazard too. Use the standard gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
