Heavy Lifting Trophy in Aliens: Colonial Marines
Heavy Lifting
Defeat the Raven in under 1:10 on Soldier difficulty or higher
How to unlock Heavy Lifting
GLITCHED
At the end of the fifth chapter, The Raven, you will have to defeat the menacing enemy that has been pursuing you throughout the entire level by using the Power Loader. It is highly recommended that you try for this trophy on Soldier difficulty (not Recruit) as the 1:10 time limit is rather strict.
You will need to use the Power Loader to damage the Raven whilst also fending off waves of regular Xenomorphs. Because of this, it's suggested that you have at least one other person with you to take the heat off of the player who's using the Power Loader. Unfortunately there's no in-game indicator showing the amount of time you have used, so it is highly recommended that you use a stopwatch and time it yourself. If you reach the limit, then restart the checkpoint. As of the 1.04 Patch, this trophy is is effectively impossible to unlock if playing alone due to the trophy difficulty being upped to excessive levels. Due to this problem, there are 2 recommended ways of getting the trophy:
Method 1: Co-Op
After some field testing, my co-op partner came up with a successful tactic for defeating the Raven within the allotted time. Full credit goes to Grenadier_12 for this tactic:My trick was to "jab" using until the Raven was safely cornered, and then use "slash" () to weaken it. If you use the slash out in the open, the Raven tends to block, headbutt and run. Trapping her in the corner usually eliminates the "run" part and buys you some time. Make sure that you don't "panic slash" if the Raven jumps away, as your Power Loader will turn around thus losing precious time. Any co-op partner will have to hold off on shooting the Raven and only focus on the regular Xenomorphs. Any hit on the Power Loader, tends to do damage to it and make things more difficult.
Method 2: Play without the patch installed
This is the way that most people will go about obtaining this trophy and do it, go into the Game Data Utility and delete the file containing the patches (you can tell which one it is by highlighting the files and pressing . If you see v1.05 appear under "version", then you have the correct file). Once you have deleted the patch, disable your internet by unticking the "Allow Internet Connection" box in your PS3's Network Tab (Settings => Networking) then boot up the game and get your trophy. After getting the trophy, you can safely reinstall the patch and carry on with your day.
