Trophy Guide:

There Went an Echo 
Mastery of command.
This trophy will unlock when you have collected the other 15 trophies.

War Broom 
Sweep all twelve waves of the War Room.
For this trophy you have to complete the War Room. The easiest way to get this trophy is to position your squad so they are on Echo One, Echo Three, Delta One and Bravo One.

The Secret Unveiled 
You didn’t see that coming.
Story related cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock once you complete Mission 6.

Re:LAX 
Always fly Burbank.
Story related cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock once you complete Mission 2.

Training Fray 
The kid gloves are off.
Story related cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock once you complete Mission 3.

The Fire Rekindled 
She’s back.
Story related cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock once you complete Mission 8.

Sequence Break 
Removed from the course of things.
Story related cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock once you complete Mission 9.

The End of All Things 
Save one.
Story related cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock once you complete Mission 10.

Supercharged 
Damage four enemies at once with the Charge Gun.
For this trophy you need to simultaneously damage four enemies with a shot from the Charge Gun. There are a few times in the game where you can obtain this. The easiest place is in Mission 9 during the third encounter there are two groups of four enemies, simply target one of targets on the middle of the group.

Sniper Stun 
Never let a sniper in cover get a shot off.
During the game you will encounter snipers and to get this trophy you need to use the “Focus fire…” command to take one out before he shoots at you. If you haven’t unlocked it through natural play you can get it during Mission 6.

Perfect Override 
Never allow the countdown to reach zero in Farrick’s base.
In Mission 8 there are three terminals that you have to activate. Doing so starts a countdown and you mustn’t let the countdowns reach zero. To do this leave a soldier at each of the terminals and keep resetting the countdown with the command “Activate Override.” You will hear a message when the timers have 15 seconds left but it’s better to keep resetting them before this warning.

The Invincible Turret 
Escape from the weapon cache with at least one turret at perfect health.
At the start of Mission 6 you have to survive enemies attacks for six minute while making sure one of the turrets still has 100% health. The easiest way to do this is to move turret one to lane three and turret two to lane five, and have everyone for at will. Then starting at the bottom of the screen use the mines to take out multiple targets. Use the “Focus fire” command on any targets that are close to the turrets.

Pistols In 
Complete a mission without switching weapons with any soldier.
As the description suggests for this trophy you have to complete any mission without switching from the pistol. This trophy can be unlocked on any mission where you have two weapons equipped just remember not to switch weapon.

Markiplier 
Queue up and execute five simultaneous commands.
For this trophy you need to line up and execute any five commands using “On My Mark” so head to the War Room and say the following:
1) “Echo 1 On My Mark”
2) “Echo 2 On My Mark”
3) “Echo 3 On My Mark”
4) “Delta 1 On My Mark”
5) “Delta 2 On My Mark”
Then once five orders are stacked up say “Mark” and the trophy will unlock.

Took the Red Pill 
Guide Corrin out of Ignite Defense.
Story related cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock once you complete Mission 1.

Fire at Wil 
Don’t be a…jerk.
For this trophy you must try to shoot Wil Wheaton and it can only be unlocked with a voice command. You can unlock it at any point during the game but if you want to get it out of the way early then head to the War Room and say “Fire at Corrin”.
