How to unlock the Global Trader achievement in BattleBlock Theater - Definitive Guide

A couple of important points here I've discovered:

- Guest accounts cannot use the trading booth, which lead me to (having limited online time while I was trying to get this) creating a spare 4 or 5 silver accounts to trade with....
- "Local Games" don't count towards this global trader total - so despite having traded locally with over 10 different local accounts this did not fire.
- Under your stats, the figure for "Trades completed" is not this counter. That value is actually however many trades you've made regardless of the circumstances so will increase when you're doing many trades with the same person, or with silver accounts on a local game.

- It looks like the only way to actually get this is to be in XBLA games and actually trade with other people online.
- However, you can always negotiate with your coop buddy to both trade for 0 gems each. Doing 10 of these online with unique (i.e. different each time) gamers will trigger the achievement.

If you're having trouble getting someone to actually trade with you because they are being a jerk and just trying to demand your special star heads, try offering free normal heads out to people that they don't have. You can always re-purchase those ones yourself later.

Warning: Don't trade away your special heads - you can't just get them back easily. Depending on the head it may be impossible to reaquire without trading again.

I considered boosting but in the end spent an hour joining other's games, helping them through a few levels then asking if they'd trade 0 gems for 0 gems, most people were happy to help!

Since this game is free for XBL Gold members now, the online population has massively increased, and this has made the achievement a lot easier. I managed to get all 10 trades within 20 minutes using this method:
Select XBL game from the main menu, then host a player match in Story mode. Wait for someone to show up and pick chapter 1. Go immediately into the giftshop and then to the trading boot, and just offer them 0 gems (they'll usually respond with 0 gems too) or a single yarn / a few gems. After the trade is complete, immediately quit and repeat. Tip: if a player isn't doing what you want him to do (like going into chapter 1 with you) just exit the game and find someone else. There's plenty of other people out there so don't waste your time. This solution might be kind of obvious, but hopefully I helped some people out :-)

People are still playing the game it seems. I got my 10 trades done in about a hour, found quite a few people, and I was playing past 10pm PST.

Since this game can be played on Xbox One through backwards compatibility, those of you who have both an Xbox One and an Xbox 360 can get this achievement by themselves, in case you're having a hard time finding cooperative randoms or any randoms at all for that matter. However, it might take a fair amount of time because you must create 10 extra accounts on your Xbox one.

So, what you need to do is this:

- Log on to the 360 with the account going for the achievement
- Xbox Live Game on the main menu
- Host Player match
- The Story on normal mode
- Set private slots to zero (You might occasionally get lucky and have a cooperative random join your game before you have a chance to join with one of your extra accounts).

Now switch over to your Xbox one (where supposedly you are already logged in with one of ten extra accounts you already created. Go to Xbox Live Game and select "Find Player match" on normal mode and you should find the match which your gamertag on the 360 created and you can start up the game. Take both players to the trading booth and exchange whatever you like between your 2 accounts and exit the game.

Repeat this another 9 times and the achievement is yours.

I know it's a long process to create 10 extra accounts on Xbox one. This solution is ideal for people who wanna get this cheevo on their own without running into non cooperative randoms. Also, trying to set up sessions with 10 different gamers will take a lot of time.

If something is unclear or i haven't explained something nicely, write me a comment before down-voting wink and i'll try to provide further help.

Something to add is that (back in the days, I don't know for now) you can only create 3 mail accounts on outlook per day, so you might need to create accounts on other services such as gmail for example, due to the limited time to complete this cheevo right now.

If you don't have an extra console, you can create/share those accounts with someone else, or just share your account while you log with those side accounts (isn't that prohibited under TA/M$ terms and conditions ?)

Assuming you've read all the tips given by GregSweetman above, here is a plan to do the achievement.

Manage to create a session of 11 people including you (if you have yet done some trading you can do it with less than 11) then you can proceed.

Players will be named from "A" to "K".

First - Two groups will play at the same time on two different host
• A B C D and K H I J
• A E F G and K B C D
• A H I J and K E F G
• B E H J and K A

Second - Players will alternate each other in these sessions
• B F G I
• C E H I
• C F G J
• C A F H
• D E F J
• D H I G

This is the fastest method imo with any player trading with each other.

Upon starting an online game, or in the intermission between rounds you will have the opportunity to enter the gift shop and trade with any of the other players in the match. Often random players are more interested in trading and messing around in the gift shop than playing the actual game mode. Can you blame them? Use the Achievement Trading Thread to find people to trade with here.
