Killzone 3 is Guerilla Game's sequel to the highly acclaimed Killzone 2 and picks up immediately where its predecessor left off, after Sev's battle with Helghan's Colonel Mael Radec and confrontation with Scolar Visari.
The death of their dictator has left the Helghast Empire in a state of internal struggle. Now, Sev and his comrade Rico are trapped in the cross-fire between the various political factions without any reinforcements and are left to fight alone in order to escape as the ISA struggles to regroup its forces and stop a Helghast invasion of Earth.
Killzone 3 is a PS Move enabled game and also supports 3DTV. It features Offine split screen Coop Campaign for 2 players and sports 3 different game modes for its Online Multiplayer, as well a Botzone mode where where players can set up an offline multiplayer match against AI bots. There are Five multiplayer classes to choose from: Marksman, Engineer, Field Medic, Tactician, and Infiltrator, each with unique class upgrades available for purchase as you rank up online.
Note: If you are using the Alternate controller setup, the Default melee button () is assigned to , and Zoom button is instead. For those using the PS Move, the recommended settings are:
* Deadzone Width: 0%
* Deadzone Height: 0%
* Crosshair Sensitivity: 10%
* Turn Speed: 60%
* Lock Assist: None
* Zoom: Hold
* Crouch: Toggle
Step 1: Complete the Campaign on any difficulty
Important: Most of the offline trophies can be obtained in the Co-op Campaign if you wish to do so, you don't necessarily have to play the Single Player Campaign. However, there have been reports that the Victory trophy (Complete the game on Elite difficulty) does NOT unlock in Co-op Campaign but it still can be obtained in Single Player Campaign. We do not know if this was the intended design or a glitch, thus we recommend you start off with Single Player Campaign instead to be on the safe side.
Three difficulties are presented to you in the beginning: Recruit, Trooper and Veteran. If you wish to speed through the game, play on Recruit. If you would like a decent challenge and prepare yourself for the next step on Elite difficulty, then choose Veteran instead.
Complete the Campaign as you would, while referring to the trophy guide below which has been arranged in the order that you would unlock the trophies under normal circumstances. Each chapter has at least a couple of trophies that are specific to certain sections only and most of the time it's one immediately after the other, so it would be wise to pay attention to them now instead of doing them later on Elite. These trophies are:
Chapter 3 "Pyrrhus Evacuation" - Mopping Up, Sawn Off and Smoking Wrecks
Chapter 5 “Icy Incursion” - Excessive Force and Spread the Love
Chapter 6 "Stahl Arms Infiltration” - Frazzle Dazzle and Shattered
It should take you around 5-8 hours to complete on Recruit. Try to achieve 50 Brutal Melee kills during playthrough to knock out Hand to Hand Master and other related trophies before attempting Elite difficulty, and also kill as many Helghast as you can to work towards 1500 kills required for Fight to the Last trophy.
Step 2: Complete the Campaign on Elite difficulty
Elite difficulty is now unlocked after you've completed the SP campaign once. You are free to use Chapter Select and play the chapters and/or sections in any order you wish. Standard shooter strategies will apply such as taking cover, picking up better guns and aiming for headshots. The difficulty this time has been toned down as compared to its predecessor Killzone 2.
If you have missed any of the Campaign related trophies on your earlier playthrough you can attempt them again this time, or wait to clean them up after completing Elite difficulty.
Refer to the Elite Mode Tips and Strategies section if you're having trouble with certain sections of the game, but be warned that it will contain spoilers.
Step 3: Complete the Co-op Campaign up to end of Chapter 3 "Pyrrhus Evac" on any difficulty [Optional]
This is only required if you have chosen to beat the campaign as Single Player in Steps 1 & 2 above. The Co-op Campaign is an Offline Split Screen mode and requires 2 controllers. You can leave the 2nd controller alone, apart from the Weapons Training section and play the game as you would normally. You do NOT have the complete the entire campaign in Co-op, only till the end of Chapter 3 "Pyrrhus Evac".
Step 4: Complete Online Multiplayer trophies - Impossible due to server closure.
The Online Multiplayer trophies have been drastically toned down as well this time and are a far cry from Killzone 2's challenges. You should get most of them through normal play. Each class has a specific trophy related to it, whereas the other trophies are more general and relate to normal gameplay. See the Online Multiplayer section for details.
Step 5: Campaign Clean Up and Grind kills for Single Player on Chapter Select
If you have missed any of the Campaign related trophies or still need to attain 1500 kills for the Campaign, you can choose to play them again on Chapter Select. See Fight to the Last - Kill 1500 Helghast trophy for more kill grinding strategies. When you're done with that, just have fun playing Online.

DLC: Reclaimed Territory (Retro Map Pack) brings back the Salamun Market and Blood Gracht maps from Killzone 2 with improved environments and also modified to fit in with Killzone 3's new mechanics. All the trophies associated with this DLC can only be achieved in Online Multiplayer, not Botzone (and not boostable either). Certain trophies will require you to play on specific maps in order to unlock them
Blood Gracht Map (only available in Guerilla Warfare mode)
• Death by Proxies (Requires Rank 10 - Sergeant 1)
• Blood Streak
Salamun Market Map (only available in Warzone mode)
• Demolitionist
• Tactical Mastery
Non-Map Specific
• Brutal Footsteps (Requires Rank 10 - Sergeant 1)
• Little Big Weapons
• Automata for People
You can choose to do these trophies in any order you like, and most of it may come naturally in normal gameplay, except for Little Big Weapons. Remember to set your map preferences to the specific map when going for the map-specific trophies.
You may want to start off with getting your profile to the rank of Sergeant 1 first so you gain necessary Skills or Unlock Points required to purchase upgrades that will make your life easier, especially the Proximity Mines.

Steel Rain DLC:
Overview:
+ Estimated Trophy Difficulty: 5/10
+ Trophy Breakdown: 1, 6
+ Offline: 0
+ Online: 1 , 6 - Unobtainable, due to server closure.
+ Approximate Time To 100%: 3+ hours
+ Minimum Number Of Playthroughs Needed: N/A
+ Number Of Missable Trophies: None
+ Glitched Trophies: None
+ Does Difficulty Affect Trophies?: No
+ Do Cheat Codes Disable Trophies?: There Are No Cheats
Introduction:
The new Steel Rain DLC for Killzone 3 comes with 7 new trophies, all are for the online multiplayer. I'd say this map pack is definitely more challenging than the first but still manageable. Some trophies are partially luck based and you will need things to go your way to get some of the rest. If all goes well you should be able to knock out the 2 Junkyard trophies, "Jetpack on Exo Action" & "Exo on Jetpack Action", in a game or two on the required map. Then there are the two Stahl Arms specific trophies, "Deadly Threesome" & "I See You". The rest aren't specific to any map but Stahl Arms is as good as any since you should be going for them, especially "Highly Decorated" in Warzone mode. The map is quite small allowing you to always get back into the action quickly.

From the Ashes Map Pack:
Overview
- Estimated Trophy Difficulty: 3/10
- Trophy Breakdown: 13
- Offline: 0
- Online: 13 - Unobtainable, due to server closure.
- Approximate Time To 100%: 4+
- Minimum Number Of Playthroughs Needed: N/A
- Number Of Missable Trophies: None
- Glitched Trophies: None
- Does Difficulty Affect Trophies?: No
- Do Cheat Codes Disable Trophies?: No Cheats Available
Introduction
The From the Ashes map pack brings us 2 new maps and 2 reworked classic maps from the previous game. The trophies are straight forward and not difficult. There are a few that will require you to have unlocked certain abilities within the class or a weapon unlocked from the tree. The time to complete all these trophies may depend on how many upgrade points you will need to acquire. You will need 19 unlock points to unlock the necessary skills or weapons if you don't already have them unlocked.
Steps
Step 1 - Play each of the four new maps: Lente Missle Base, Mobile Factory, Radec Academy, and Tharis Depot. Each of these maps have two trophies tied to each map. Play one game on each. During this step try working towards each class related trophy. At the end of this step you should have No Go For Launch, Exhausted, Bullet Spam, Mini-Gone, Radec's Revenge, Turn Back time, Jetpack on Jetpack Action, and Frequent Flyer.
Step 2 - Each class has a trophy related to his special ability. Play through on your best map working on each one. This will most likely take several more games. Warzone games will be your best bet as they typically last the longest. At the end of this step you will get the final five trophies which include, Hacker, Tag. You're It, Cloak and Fragger, Taken From Behind, and Immortal.
