Trophy unlocks for both players? Yes
At the very start of the chapter, you'll be in the Lift Off section and will need to make a choice of either Vincent’s way to parachute or Leo's way to land the plane. Either choice is fine. Your new objectives will be the following:
- Turn off fuel flow
- Get Emily's logbook
- Open hanger doors
Ignore the above objectives and do the all the trophy requirements around the hanger before proceeding with the story.
For the trophy, look for a yellow arcade machine against the wall of the room you started in. Simply have both players interact with the arcade machine called Grenade Brothers and the trophy will unlock instantly. You don't have to play this arcade machine at all and can simply press to exit it. Please see the Mayday! trophy next before you proceed with the current story objective.
If you opened the hanger doors and then get on the plane so you can take-off, then you've gone too far and will need to use Chapter Select.
