Excess Baggage Fees Trophy in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

  • Excess Baggage Fees

     

    Breach: Complete a server using 6 Expansion Items at once.

    How to unlock Excess Baggage Fees

    This is by far the most time consuming and luck based trophy from the update. They can be found within booster packs and act as HP/Energy boosting items as long as they remain in your inventory, they are quite large so you may need to upgrade your storage size to hold 6 of them at once.

    If you do not get 6 Expansion Items using the credits from the other trophies and the Darknet File as part of Ashes to Ashes then you will need to grind. By far the best method is using challenges to obtain victory packs, you can only do this once per day unless you have firewall keys to replenish your challenges.

    I created 5 alt accounts and played Breach Mode up until the point where Shadowchild notifies you that challenges can now be attempted and sent to other players on your friend list around 1/3 through Network 1A Server 4 (skip 3). It took me around 15-20 minutes to get each account up to this point. When you do simply complete 3 servers and at the completion screen press  to send a challenge to your main account, personally I used the time completed as the challenge every time and used Network 00 Server 01, Network 1A Servers 01 and 02 as they are very short and easy to complete.

    Once you have done this on however many alt accounts as you desire, you will obtain a Victory Pack for each one you successfully complete on your main account, you do not seem to get Expansions from these packs but you will always get a large number of credits in the range of 13-20k and high grade nuke viruses which can sell for 3-12k each.

    You can also send challenges from your main to any alt and have that account purposely fail the challenge for a victory pack, the quickest way is to press  then exit server 3 times. Firewall keys can be used to send another 3 challenges and you can also attempt the daily challenges from Shadowchild as well, otherwise you will need to wait until the next day to try again.

    In total I can grind around 400-450k credits in an hour by sending challenges from all 5 alt accounts and opening all obtained Victory Packs, selling Nuke Viruses Cheats/Patches and whatever else you have spare. I strongly recommend using your credits to buy Enhancer Packs (15k) until you get the 6 expansions you need, I got 2 from 16 packs. I had no luck from Elite Packs and they are over 3x more expensive.

    Keep doing this daily until you get 6 expansions, you are at the complete mercy of RNG here.

  • you gotta be friggen kidding me!!!!! like WHY would they do something like this? on top of that, wasting this valuable time on this type of game play. make it FUN not something to look forward to NOT want to even play the game.. wow!!.. I just got into the BREACH portion of the game, its interesting and I see what they were trying to do, but a lot of that time could have been used to focus on other portions of the game that could have made us have more interest in Adam Jensen's world..
  • I'm not sure if they updated this or something, but I got expansions kits from the victory packs. I made alt accounts for the send/complete challenges trophies like the guide says, and from 2 of the 3 victory packs, I got energy expansion kits.
