Introduction
WipEout returns in a prequel to the other games showing us the origins of anti-gravity racing. The game contains ten brand new tracks as well as the return of iconic game modes such as Zone, Eliminator, Speed Lap, Time Trial and Race. The game also features cross-play with WipEout HD on the PlayStation 3. This game, like its predecessors, features stunning visuals and an iconic electronica soundtrack. There is a definite step down from the difficulty that the series is known for, but the game still features a couple of difficult trophies. There is nothing really to worry about with regards to missable trophies and glitches, but you do need to play through both the Single Player and Multiplayer Campaign at least once. All trophies are relatively straightforward and are easily accessible as you progress through the game.
I found the following ships sufficient to earn the platinum but people have different racing styles so if one ship is failing you, try another. Feisar Speed is your starting ship so I haven't included it in any of these lists. We recommend using this ship if you haven't unlocked any of the ships listed in each event. We have only included ships we used several times and not ones that were only used once such as in its' Prototype event:
- Race: Feisar Prototype, Qirex Speed and Pir-hana Speed
- Combat: Qirex Figher
- Zone: Ag-Systems Agility
- Time Trial: AG-Systems Agility, Qirex Speed, Pir-hana Speed and Feisar Prototype
- Speed Lap: Pir-hana Speed and Pir-hana Prototype are the only two ships required for trophies. See "Beat Zico" and "Perfect Pir-hana" respectively.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Single Player Campaign
I highly recommend that you play through the Single Player Campaign first, especially if you have never played a WipEout game before. It will allow you to get a feel for the game, learn the tracks, and earn XP to unlock new ships. To cut down on time, I'd recommend elite passing events as you go. Although this is the highest difficulty, it is very possible to meet the required criteria fairly easily. The game has a steady learning curve and the AI is very forgiving. There are a couple of difficult events but generally, you are well stocked and should be prepared to deal with them. If you are stuck on an event, try some other events and come back later. On your way to "Elite Completist", you will unlock the first 14 trophies listed below. You will most likely unlock "2048 Speed Pads" and "Rank 25" before completion of the campaign too. As you progress, you will also be equipped to unlock "Speed Thrills", "Mach 1.5", "The Unlucky 7" and finally "Beat Zico" when you have finished the campaign. By the end of this step, you should obtain the following trophies, and possibly more:
2048 Champion
2049 Champion
2050 Champion
Completist
Elite Completist
2048 Elite 1
2048 Elite 2
2048 Elite 3
2049 Elite 1
2049 Elite 2
2049 Elite 3
2050 Elite 1
2050 Elite 2
2050 Elite 3
Speed Thrills
Rank 25
Beat Zico
Mach 1.5
The Unlucky 7
2048 Speed Pads
Step 2: Multiplayer Campaign and Clean Up - Unobtainable due to server closure
Note: This part requires an online pass, which you get with a new copy of the game either physical or digital or from the PS store for a price.
Now that you have experience with the game, now is the time to step into the online modes of WipEout 2048. You will spend the majority of your time here as there are 210 events, averaging at about 15 minutes per event. Some events are very straightforward, requiring you to just play and maybe hit an opponent with a weapon. However as you go on, you need to hit specific opponents, beat opponents, destroy ships and gradually move up the leaderboards. When you begin playing, you will unlock "Multiplayer Begins" and as long as you progress with at least a pass on every event, you will definitely unlock the first six trophies listed below from "Multiplayer Begins" to "Multiplayer Completist". You should comfortably unlock "50 Kills" as long as you play combat events as opposed to race events (combat events almost always get voted in.) You will most likely get "Rank 50" during your Multiplayer Campaign so you can also now earn "Perfect Pir-hana" and "Prototype". You will likely finish off the Multiplayer Campaign last, so if you've followed the Road Map accordingly, you will unlock "Multiplayer Finished", "Multiplayer Completist" and "This is WipEout!". By the end of this step, you should obtain the following trophies:
Multiplayer Begins
1 Down, 19 To Go
50 MP Events
Halfway There
Multiplayer Finished
Multiplayer Completist
50 Kills
Rank 50
Prototype
Perfect Pir-hana
This is WipEout!
Step 3: Clean Up
You should have all of the trophies by now, but since several of the miscellaneous trophies such as "Beat Zico", "Mach 1.5", "The Unlucky 7" and "Perfect Pir-hana" could potentially not be obtained because of your level or for some other reason, now is the time to get them. You should now have your Platinum trophy - congratulations!

Introduction
The first set of DLC for WipEout 2048 is a full game of the PS3 version, wipEout HD. You get the full campaign, all HD ships and all tracks. The best thing about this DLC is that it's free if you have WipEout HD on your PS3's download list. The trophies are sadly very easy, as all you have to do is complete the campaign on Novice difficulty and obtain gold medals in all of the events. The game's difficulty all in all seems toned down from HD entirely. For ship choice, I recommend using the Feisar Fury ship as it has brilliant handling which is crucial to winning. Harimau Fury is also a great all round ship, but feel free to choose whichever one best suits your playing style. If you have obtain the 'Elite Campaign Legend' trophy in HD for the PS3, then you will get a gold medal on most of these events first time.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Complete the campaign on Novice difficulty, getting gold medals in everything.
Firstly, you want to start the HD campaign. You will not want to do anything with the difficulty settings, as it will be on Novice by default. Novice is the easiest setting and the AI aren't great here, meaning that they are very easy to beat. The time requirements in the Time Trial and Speed Lap are also very lenient and easy to reach. After completing the final event on 'Meltdown' and if you got gold in everything, you will unlock the following trophies:
Step into HD
Uplift Champion
Warped Champion
Frenzy Champion
Vertigo Champion
Head Rush Champion
Speed Freak Champion
Drop Zone Champion
Meltdown Champion
2048 - WipEout HD All Complete
2048 - WipEout HD All Gold
Step 2: Clean Up
You may have not gotten gold on a certain event. So now is the time and go back and get it. At the end of this step you should have your 100%, congrats!

Introduction
The second DLC for WipEout 2048 is the full version of the WipEout HD DLC, Fury. You get the full Fury campaign, all Fury ships and all Fury tracks. The best thing about this DLC is it's free if you have WipEout HD on your PS3's download list. The trophies are sadly very easy, as all you have to do is complete the campaign on Novice difficulty and get gold medals in all of the events. The game's difficulty all in all seems toned down from Fury entirely. However this campaign is more challenging than HD due to the randomness of the Eliminator events. All of the trophies will come just by playing through the campaign. For ship choice, I recommend using the Feisar ship as it has brilliant handling which is crucial to winning. Harimau Fury also is a great all round ship, but feel free to choose whichever ship best suits your playing style.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Complete the campaign on novice, getting gold medals in everything.
Firstly, you want to start the Fury campaign. You will not want to do anything with the difficulty settings, as they are set to Novice by default. Novice is the easiest setting and the AI aren't too great here, and are therefore very easy to beat. The requirements in the Time Trial and Speed Lap events are also very lenient and aren't too difficult to beat. After completing the final event on 'Aftermath' and providing that you got gold in everything, you will unlock the following trophies:
Leap into Fury
Blitzed Champion
Impact Champion
Voltage Champion
Turbulence Champion
Vortex Champion
Corruption Champion
Nuked Champion
Aftermath Champion
2048 - WipEout HD Fury All Complete
2048 - WipEout HD Fury All Gold
Step 2: Clean Up
You may have not gotten gold on a certain event. So now is the time and go back and get it. At the end of this step you should have your 100%, congrats!
