How to unlock the Best of Friends achievement in Dead Rising 2: Off The Record - Definitive Guide

-HAS to be in one sitting
-NOT cumulative
-CAN be done in sandbox
-ONLY host gets the achievement*
-TRACKER does NOT reset from previous attempts
(i.e. you may think you are at 80% seeing tracker but really you're at 0%)

*Most are reporting both Host & Partner get achievement. My partner and I did not both get it so we must have just been unlucky somehow. If it doesn't pop, simply redo it with the partner as the host instead and it should pop.

Easiest done on Sandbox mode. Start a new game up, invite your co-op partner. Sandbox mode goes on a 72 hour cycle and then psychopaths repeat / recycle. Survivors will also spawn and try to kill you but they do not count as psychopaths. Has to be one of the psychopaths from the story. 8 NPCs on screen rule applies, so if you see survivors bash their skulls in to make room for a psycho! If you're at the right area at designated time and there's no psycho, there's probably 8 survivors running about. If you are unaware how to know the time in the game. Outside in Fortune Park there is a large clock monument that tells the time accurately. 14 total psychopaths on sandbox mode. Psychopaths stay active for 10 hours after starting time and then disappear. Psychopaths that count and the earliest ones that you can find with their locations (which are generally exactly where they are in story mode).

It is incorrect that only the host gets the achievement. I did this with my second account/Xbox and both got the achievement. It appears the host issue is only on the 360.

I did this on X1 and we had this issue with host only getting achievement. When we redid it with my co-op partner as host it popped for him finally. Maybe you just got lucky, or we got unlucky.

I did this today with my friend. We killed the 4 snipers and the Chef. I was the host but we both got the achievement.

Snowflake (tiger) counts as a psychopath. A friend got the cheevo right after killing it.

NOTE: This doesn't have to be done in one sitting, or one play-through. You can do it with another person to the one you started with if you wish. But you have to kill 5 different psychopaths. The best thing to do is during singleplayer make a separate save in slot 2 or 3 when the snipers appear in fortune park. If you do this and then load the save in co-op mode you can kill them all and each will count as a pyschopath kill, saves a lot of time.

Sometimes you fight 2 psychopaths at once, but only one counts e.g. The twins. The trophy will unlock upon killing your 5th boss in co-op.

See the co-op thread for partners: Co-op Partner Thread (Read First Post!)

This is more of an advice for those who want to get this trophy quickly. When playing a single player game, wait for four snipers to appear on the roofs (each of them will be counted as one psychopath). Plus, as the game progresses, at the same moment there will probably be another psychopath somewhere (for me it was Slappy - the guy on roller skates in the Palisades Mall). Without killing anyone, make a save game in another (not the main) slot. Later you can always return to him and quickly kill the 5th psychos in the co-op.

I’ll add on my own behalf: the trophy is not cumulative and you need to do it with one person at a time and only in story mode!

The trophy is cumulative, you can kill psychos with different partners, the main thing is to be the host.

Psychopaths can be killed in co-op in sandbox mode. The trophy only counts towards the host! In the sandbox, ordinary survivors will also attack you - they are not considered for the trophy! Psychopaths appear on the map at certain times of the day. Text guide (en).
First on the list are brothers Reed Wallbeck and Roger Withers; postman Carl Schliff; motorcyclist Chuck Greene; Sheriff Seymour Redding; military Dwight Boykin and so on.
