From the people that brought you the Heavy Fire series comes another on rails shooter, this time based around the classic action hero Rambo. Fight through the original 3 films, dealing justice as you go.

 

 

  • Estimated trophy difficulty: 6/10 (Personal estimate)
  • Offline trophies: 28 (16(B), 3(S), 8(G), 1(P))
  • Online trophies: 0
  • Approximate amount of time to platinum: 10-20 hours (skill dependant)
  • Minimum number of playthroughs: 1 + Mission select
  • Number of missable trophies: 0
  • Glitched trophies: 0
  • Does difficulty affect trophies?: Yes (Must complete all levels on Green Beret difficulty for My War is Over
  • Do trophies stack?: No
  • Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No Cheats

The vast majority of the trophies in this game are earned from getting over a certain score in each level. There are a healthy dosage of golds in there though! The game itself is a simple on rails shooter that will frustrate at times, and there are some glitches such as enemies becoming invincible or the game crashing entirely. If you do experience the invincibility glitch, just restart the level to fix it.

Step 1: Start Story mode and complete Prologue, then use Mission Select and grind XP on Jailbreak until you unlock the perk "A far cry"

 

To make life easier for yourself you'll want to unlock the ability to take advantage of a glitch in this game called the Infinite Wrath glitch (see Step 2). To use this glitch you must have the Perk "A far cry" equipped, so grinding out XP to unlock it early on (Jailbreak is the second level) will make things so much easier for you. Jailbreak is the shortest level in the game and consists solely of QTE's, have the perk "Cool Hand You" equipped so you cannot fail any QTE's even if you miss the button prompt, all that will happen is you get no score for it.

 

To make the grind quicker equip the Perk "Older, Wiser" which gives you an extra 10% XP, and if you have a second controller you can use this and play in co-op mode to get double the XP. Here you'll need to press the button prompt on both controllers which can be tricky on your own, but with the no fail perk equipped it's worth the inconvenience.

 

In this step you will earn:

 

Jailbreak (B)

 

Step 2: Play through Story Mode on Green Beret difficulty, using the Infinite Wrath glitch if needed

 

Now you have unlocked the perk "A far cry" make sure to equip it in the Skills and Perks menu. With this equipped you earn Wrath with each perfect reload you perform, but you can also activate Infinite Wrath if you jam the reload when Wrath is activated. To activate Wrath press :cross:, then press :r1: to start reloading and then :r1: again when the bar is outside of the yellow and white sections to jam the gun. Doing this will empty your wrath gauge but will keep you stuck in Infinite Wrath meaning the game plays in slow motion, you have infinite ammo, every kill gives you some health back and you get a Wrath combo points bonus! This will make the levels an absolute breeze, except the final level which may still cause you some problems.

 

In this step you will earn:

 

War you won't belive (S)

My War is Over (G)

 

Step 3: Using Mission Select replay levels on Green Beret difficulty and get a 3 Star rating on every level

 

Now comes the hard part. After completing the game on Green Beret you should be getting close to level 20, and hopefully you've unlocked the perks "Don't make him angry" and "Let's tap". Those two perks alongside "A far cry" are essential to getting 3 stars in every level. If you haven't unlocked these perks yet, then go back to grinding XP on Jailbreak until you do.

 

Once you have all of those equipped you're good to go! Now play through the levels one after the other on Green Beret for the x1.2 score multiplier and activating Infinite Wrath ASAP. You'll need to be quick and accurate, aiming for the head to get extra bonus points in all levels except Forest Hunt and Demolition of Hope, in those you need to aim for the legs or arms of the police officers to disarm them instead of kill them. Shoot other objects around the level to keep the multiplier high, and try to get Perfect in the QTEs to get the bonus points. Try to complete the levels all in one life to get the best combos that you can, and if Infinite Wrath is interrupted by a cutscene remember to put it back on straight away. This may take some time, and quite a few tries on some levels, but eventually you will be able to do it!

 

Here's a break down of the factors that affect your score;

 

Difficulty - Depending on what difficulty you choose your final score is multiplied by 0.8 (Private), 1.0 (Sergeant) or 1.2 (Green Beret). So because of this make sure you play on Green Beret difficulty.

 

Kills Per Minute (KPM) - After the Difficulty bonus has been applied it will then multiply your score based on your KPM. It will take your KPM and divide it by 10, with the minimum multiplier being 1. So if you get a KPM of 12 it will multiply your score by 1.2, 13 - 1.3 and so on and so on. This means killing quickly is important in the higher score levels.

 

The Multiplier - There's an in-game multiplier that you can see in the top corner of the HUD under your health and wrath gauges that can go to a maximum of 15. A regular enemy killed with a multiplier of 1 will give you 25 points (100 for a headshot or disarm), but with a multiplier of 15 it will be 375 (or 1500). Keep it high by killing enemies quickly and by shooting other destructible elements in the world. If you're on a level with a helicopter flying around you, shooting at that will give you points and push the multiplier higher.

 

Chain Kill, Wrath Combo and Reload Combo - These are going to be important to you throughout the game. To get a Chain Kill you must kill an enemy within 1 second of killing another, try to kill enemies in groups quickly to benefit. Wrath Combo increases with every kill you get in wrath mode until it ends, so in Infinite Wrath it is possible to go through some levels entirely in this mode racking up a massive combo. Reload Combo's are gotten by activating a perfect reload and then killing enemies, once you next reload you must hit the perfect zone or the combo will end. Luckily in wrath mode you have infinite ammo so make sure to perfectly reload once you enter Infinite Wrath to get the best combo you can.

 

In this step you will earn:

 

Prologue (B)

Forest Hunt (B)

The Demolition Of Hope (B)

First Blood Complete (G)

POW Camp (B)

River Run (B)

Interrogation Escape (B)

Deep Jungle (B)

Village Vanguard (B)

The Waterfall (B)

POW Evac (B)

First Blood Part II Complete (G)

Afghan Camp (B)

The Fort (B)

The Fort - Second Stab (B)

Cave Encounter (B)

The Final Showdown (B)

Rambo III Complete (G)

God, didn’t make Rambo. I made him (G)

 

Step 4: Cleanup

After that you should have all the misc trophies, but if you managed to get 3 Stars without many tries you may still have a few odds to cleanup. The best level for all of these is Prologue, so replay it on Private difficulty and get the last of these trophies out of the way!

 

In this step you will earn:

 

God would have mercy (G)

Good supply of body bags (G)

I'm the last one, Sir (G)

Your worst nightmare (S)

Become War to survive a War (S)

Mission Accomplished (P)

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/f8f.jpg War you won't belive (S)

15x Score Multiplier on any level

 

No that is not a typo on my part, they really did mispell "Believe"...

 

You will more than likely get this naturally, but you can get this in the first level. Anything that gives you a score in game will increase your multiplier and you need to get it to 15. As you make your way through the levels try shooting some environmental areas as well, you'll see that some planks of wood, boxes, fruit, Helicopters and other things can be shot and give you points, keep doing this alongside killing the enemies in the area and you should get this.

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/239.jpg Become War to survive a War (S)

20 kill per minute ratio on any level

 

Kills per minute is pretty self explanatory, you need to be fast and accurate. You can do this in the first level if you're fast enough, Prologue and Village Vanguard are the two easiest levels to get this in. You'll see your Kills per minute on the Debriefing screen at the end of the stage.

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/029.jpg Your worst nightmare (S)

10 chain kill combo on any level

 

A chain kill is when you kill several people within a short period of time. Chances are you will get this naturally as you play so don't worry too much about it. If you don't have it by the end of the game, then there is a Perk called "Join the Deaths" that increases the time allowed between kills. Equip this and retry a level like Village Vanguard and you should get it easily.

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/0f0.jpg I'm the last one, Sir (G)

3000 kills in total

 

This you will more than likely get naturally as you play the game. Chances are you'll need to play most levels at least twice to get the 3 stars in them. If you manage to get 3 stars in the levels first time round, then just replay a favourite level of yours on Private difficulty over and over until this pops.

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/d4b.jpg Good supply of body bags (G)

2000 headshots in total

 

Self explanatory, you'll want to be aiming for the head anyway in order to get the extra points. You should get this naturally as you play, but if you don't then replay your favourite level (Village Vanguard is great for these) and pop some heads!

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/aaf.jpg God, didn’t make Rambo. I made him (G)

Reach Rank 20

 

As you play through the levels you earn XP, which is based off your score per level. To reach level 20 will take some time, but it is worth it as you'll need some of the later Perks to be able to 3 star the levels. An easy way to get to 20 is to replay the level Jailbreak over and over. Make sure you equip the Perk "Older, Wiser" which gives you 10% extra XP and then play through this short QTE only level, to make it even better for you you can use 2 controllers and play through it that way to get double the XP.

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/5ce.jpg God would have mercy (G)

Reload Combo of 100 on any level

 

This is a lot simpler than it sounds. A reload combo is activated by killing an enemy after making a perfect reload, this means pressing :r1: to reload, and the pressing :r1: again when the bar is in the yellow zone. Get a kill after this and the combo will start, to keep it going you must keep reloading perfectly, if you jam the gun or reload normally the combo ends. To get this easily upgrade your light weapon skills and play Prologue on Private, the default weapon here should have quite a large perfect reload zone and there are way more than 100 enemies available for you to kill.

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/87f.jpg My War is Over (G)

Complete story mode on Green Beret Difficulty

 

Green Beret is the hardest difficulty in the game, and the later levels are absolutely crazy! The easiest way to complete the levels is using the Infinite Wrath glitch explained in the Roadmap. But even using this glitch the final level will put your skills to the test, good luck!

:francis:Whoa this is from my Heavy Fire boys? :francis: The dialog must be amazing! I'm happy they got some licensed work but they need to go back and finish the Heavy Fire trilogy. Looks like they changed up the trophies so its not quick anymore. Not sure if I can go back to the PS3 for this but I just may...:think: Can you still take out tanks with a pistol?

Don't use grenades is one tip!

 

There's not really any tips I can give as such other than keep the multiplier up! There's lots of bamboo sticks and things around that level that you can shoot that will give you only a few points but keeping up that x15 multiplier is crucial. Once you can do that and keep the headshots coming you should be ok.

 

The first level was actually one of the last one's I got so I know it's a pretty tricky one!

I noticed that with one of the perks you get 15 points each time you shoot a dead corpse. So is it possible to be in unlimited wrath and keep ducking out of cover with 1 enemy still on screen and just keep shooting the dead bodies for 15 over and over? It would take a long time but theoretically would it work?

If that works it would take ages :rofl:

 

You're welcome to try it and get back to me, I never tried that tactic.

For such a silly game, i thought it would be a 3/10 max.

 

Is it really a 6?

 

yeah im in the middle of it and im starting to notice that using the infinite wrath glitch is great for a while but to 3 star levels you need to be quick and finish levels quickly while killing everything. you need to get a 20 kills per minute standard that way your score is doubled at the end and that is where you make the 3 stars

No, it isn't

I know it's 2 years after last post, but since I'am addicted to crappy games(but to be honest, rambo isn't that bad, it's a rate B shooter on rails, I enjoyed it) and I'am sure that I'am not the only one playing this since it was on sale it's worth to mention a few things

First, the 1.01 patch removes the wrath glitch but add a john rambo difficulty(1,5x multiplier)

Second, the wrath glitch won't work in all levels, because the most important thing is kill per minute ratio, it can get you a 2x multiplier on the final score and in some missions it's really essential ie the interrogation escape, I finally did it legit with patch on john rambo difficulty, it was hard as hell for me(I was always playing good round and it still nets me about 870-880k points, really frustrating, the one round I finally get 3 stars I got about 1milion, don't know why because I played the same style like earlier rounds)

Third, I now try to shoot the corpses for points and I post if this works and how long it takes, I think i prefer this than replaying level over and over again and getting frustrated

 

Unfortunelly the corpse trick won't work, the dead bodies won't stay in one place and after shooting them for a while they will be shooted offscreen

 

Some guy do 3 stars playthroughs, it's worth checking, I got 3 stars on waterfall(the level which starst when rambo shooting vietcong officer with his explosive arrow) thanks to him. The strategy-when you fighting with the brute on heli with qte, you perfect the first hit and intentionally screw the second, he push you on the wall, then again, 1 hit perfect, 2 missed, rinse and repeat, one perfect hit gives you 25k with bonus

Ok I just need to 3 star village vanguard and the final showdown mission, and to be honest I don't know how. I watched the videos on youtube and I don't think I'am skilled enough, anybody got some protips?

 

Hiya, I have just started playing this game again. I have the platt already and am now trying for the 100% (well the 98% as one trophy is glitched currently)

with the DLC trophies. Have you started them yet, I can't seem to get anywhere near three stars on the DLC levels and they seem harder than the normal levels?

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/images/trophies/1146/9c7.jpg Rambo III Complete (G)

3 stars on all CHAPTER 3 Levels

 

To get this you need to get above this number of points in each level of the Chapter.

 

Get over 1'900'000 on The Fort

 

Correction, you get 3 star for a score more than 1'500'000 in Chapter 3 Level 2 The Fort, Afghanistan 1988.

 

Just now finished the game and I enjoyed playing it. Thanks to Xander45 for the awesome guide and tips, was very useful.

 

The most important is Kills Per Minute, followed by multiplier that should be 15 most of the time.

 

Perks I used are Older, Wiser + Join the Deaths + Don't Make him angry.

 

The Gun I used is M60 E3 Heavy. You have to complete Trautman Challenge to obtain this gun.

 

And finally, I set Controller setting Sensitivity to 18 and Aiming Help = OFF.

 

Easiest way to keep the Kills Per Minute going is through Head Shots. Get as many head shots as possible and be quick. A perfect reload gains not only time + ammo, but also some points and with the multiplier going on, it comes in handy to boost the final score.

 

If you die, better to restart and try again. Be careful with the QTE, they are instant death.

 

Whenever Wrath fills to one square and if there are 5 enemies in front of me, I used it. I put Wrath quite often, just like reload. Also, few enviorment give you points like Bambo, crates and even grass. In the last episode I just kept on shooting the Helicopter quite often, it gave 180 points for every shot. Shot trucks, jeeps, barrels to increase the multiplier as well as Kills Per Minute if a bunch of enemies are beside.

 

Below are my points and how I got them (mostly using headshots, perfect reload and wrath) :

 

Chapter 1

Prologue : 1,548,370 => Headshots, jeep, trucks, barrels

Jailbreak : 184,377 => perfect QTE (with 2 controllers)

Forest Hunt : 415,816 => Disarm quickly

The Demolition of Hope : 910,348 => There are electric posts in several areas. they glow red. They give quite a handsome points if the multiplier is 15. Quickly disarm the police officiers.

 

Chapter 2

POW Camp : 400,445 => Headshots

River Run : 1,584,389 => Shot as many running soldiers as possible. Quickly eliminated the enemies on the boat

Interrogation Escape : 988,901 => Headshots and there are 10 barrels in this level.

Deep Jungle : 641,068 => Headshots. At the end I threw a grenade before leaving. It took a handfull of enemies.

Village Vanguard : 1,980,848 => Headshots and for the last part, quickly hit arrow bombs at group of soldiers to gain more kills per minute.

The Waterfall : 513,748 => Used the helicopter QTE to gain 10,000 points several times.

POW Evac : 650,057 => Headshots.

 

Afghan Camp : 735,518

The Fort : 1,845,339 => Headshots

The Fort - Second Stab : 1,081,511 => headshots

Cave Encounter : 727,518 => headshots + enviornmental damages

The Final Showdown : 1,654,775 => maintained Perfect reload + headshots + shot the helicopter, trucks, jeeps, almost anything that is shootable.

 

Prologue, The Demolition of Hope, The Final Showdown were the levels a bit tricky to gain points. But by quickly eliminating the enemies, the 3 star is attainable.

Hi guys.

 

 

1. Rambo is not a bad game at all, I really enjoyed it. For fuck's sake we're talking about RAMBO here and I reaaaally enjoyed every chapter. The Jailbreak was great although you have to repeat it like 80-120 times.

 

2. The plat is NOT EASY at all. I haven't done it yet because I've been playing other games. The goddamn game is hard.

 

3. I got the DIGITAL version and I can't activate the INFINITE WRATH glitch. Anybody help? I think I'll have to buy the disc.

 

 

Thank you for your support.

The exploit was fixed with the latest patch so if you want to use it, you will have to uninstall then everything and play offline without the patch installed. It's also possible that the game comes pre-patched, if that's the case then you will have to get the (P) legit.

 

Thank you, Actually I ask a friend and he said he buy the DISC GAME and not the DIGITAL version, because the Digital version is patched, so, in order to get this glitch you need to buy the DISC VERSION and PLAY OFFLINE, as you said.

 

 

I'll do it someday.

Petitions won't change anything. This is one of those games that will never be patched. Then again, Serious Sam 3: BFE and Painkiller: Hell & Damnation did get fixed after being broken for years. :think:
