Chapter Select: Preparation - Reunion
Trophy unlocks for both players? No, you both need to do it individually
After fleeing from the police, you'll be in the Reunion section of this chapter where you'll be tasked with the following objective:
- Find Leo's family (Vincent) | Find your family (Leo)
Ignore the above objectives and do the all the trophy requirements around this trailer park before searching for Leo's family.
For this trophy, you'll need to hit a home run while playing Baseball. You will find two people playing baseball nearby the trailer that the cheating husband was in for the No Cheating trophy. The player going for the trophy needs to take the baseball bat from the guy who has the bat. He will give it to you and then you can hit the baseball being thrown at you by the NPC. (Optional: your co-op partner can ask for the baseball from the other guy and throw it). Either method you choose will work as long as you hit a home run by getting a score of about 175-200. Anywhere over 175+ should unlock the trophy for the player who is swing the baseball bat.
If you're playing online or local co-op, be sure to let your partner get a chance to unlock the trophy because the trophy won't unlock for them until they also achieve a 175+ home run score.
If you've pushed the dumpster to trigger a cutscene with Leo's family, then you've gone too far and will need to use Chapter Select.
Upon reaching the trailer park, you should notice some guys playing baseball. You'll want to have one of the players start batting and the other to start pitching. You'll need to hit a "home run" which should register around 180 points. Just aim for the middle of the screen and work on your timing. The characters will mention a home run if you had enough distance and the trophy will unlock for the batter. Switch places for the other person to grab their achievement.
This trophy can be seen in the video guide at 10:02:
Once you reach the trailer park, you will find two guys playing baseball. Have each player talk to someone different, then one will take control of pitching while the other will take control of the bat. You need to a hit a home run for the trophy to unlock. I found it easiest to have the person controlling the pitcher count down from three before pitching the ball, avoid putting any spin on the ball to make this easier for the player controlling the batter. The game will mention you hit a home run if you managed to hit the ball far enough. Each player must take turns getting the home run in order for the trophy to unlock for both players.
Here's a visual aid:
This unlocks during the chapter ‘Preparation: Reunion’.
When you arrive at the trailer park after the boat sequence, ignore the objectives. Walk around the trailer park and you will see two men playing baseball. Have each character walk up to the men and ask if they can take a turn. When you’re all set up with one character pitching and the other one hitting, press to pitch and to swing. If the person swinging hits the ball at least 175 feet (points), the achievement will unlock. Keep trying until it unlocks.
For both players to get this achievement, you need to switch positions.
Note: If you’ve moved the dumpster and continued to Leo’s trailer before unlocking this, you’ve missed your opportunity and need to restart the chapter. You can also unlock both “You Started It” and “No Cheating” in this same scene.
This achievement starts at [02:07:05] in Maka’s video walkthrough.
