***MISSABLE!!!*** Unfortunately, if you upgrade your fortitude too much before doing "Geronimo" in multiplayer, the trial will become impossible to complete. Hopefully a patch will address this.

EDIT: Changed formatting to hopefully make this guide a little less confusing.

MULTIPLAYER TRIAL TIPS:

Most “Grindy” MP trials are “Like a Boss”, “Teamwork” and “Speed demon” – Concentrate on these early!

Bling I, II, III – Create 1/5/10 Gold Combo Weapons.
You get these patterns as you progress, but basically you need to combine a previously Combined weapon with a GOLD BAR. Gold bars can be purchased from vending machines, but does require a low level multiplayer unlock.
Like a Boss I, II, III, IV – Kill 1/10/25/50 bosses in multiplayer.
Bosses spawn when you do "Gong" missions. CONFIRMED: The three bosses at the end of Episode 4 only count as ONE boss kill. This will likely be the last MP trial you complete. You can leave the game immediately after killing the boss and still get credit (good tip when soloing).
Epic Loot I, II, III, IV – Kill 1/10/25/50 Loot Zombies.
Loot zombies are the guys carrying Red, Green, or Blue santa bags on their back. If you play a few hours of multiplayer this will come without special effort.
Teamwork I, II, III, IV – Complete 1/25/100/250 missions in multiplayer.
Missions are the objectives you complete, not the days you survive or the episodes you finish. Generally, you should be able to get 5 or more missions done per episode attempt. The “kill xx zombies” missions after the main missions are complete do NOT count towards this trial. For this reason, episode 1 is the least efficient for this trial if this is your main goal.
Holiday Hellraiser – Complete 3 missions in episode 1.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Plaza of Pain – Complete 8 missions in Episode 2.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Boardwalk Butcher – Complete 12 missions in Episode 3.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Amazonian – Complete 15 missions in Episode 4.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Day Tripper I, II, III, IV – Complete 1/10/25/50 days in multiplayer.
Each Episode consists of 2 days. Someone needs to make it to the Safehouse at 9pm in order to survive a day.
Helping Hand I, II, III, IV – Revive another player 1/10/25/50 times.
I recommend boosting this. When people die naturally in these episodes, they are usually swarmed by zombies. And pulling off the rez is a complete pain in the ass in heavy combat.
Combat Medic I, II, III, IV – Heal allies for a total of 1,000/5,000/10,000/20,000 health.
Also a nice one to boost, but it will naturally over time if you make an effort. Using the character that starts with the healing spray is an obvious advantage as well.
Looter I, II, III, IV – Loot 5,000/20,000/50,000/100,000 scrap from zombies.
Scrap from single player and multiplayer cross over. In MP, blue loot zombies are your friend. You can also level up some perks that get more scrap to drop from zombies and environment destruction
Glutton I, II, III – Eat 10/20/30 times in one day.
***Rashaka1 solution*** Do this solo on Episode 1. You need to take at least some damage before you are allowed to use food. Food locations:
1) 5 food inside the starting room
2) Two food carts in the first open area you come into with a total of 12 food.
3) To the left of the open area is a castle with a dry moat. Inside there are about 6 randomly placed food items on tables.
4)In the same castle, there is a kitchen area in the back with two apple boxes, with a total of 10 food.
Counting Calories – Survive a day without anyone dying or eating food.
***Rashaka1 solution*** You can get this one and Pacifist in one attempt. Do episode 1 on solo. Wait in the starting area (hide next to the vending machine) and wait until 9pm. Then book it to the Safehouse. Jump a lot to avoid getting snagged. I did this on day 1 and 2 of an episode, but you may not need to do the second day.
Pacifist – Survive a day and complete a mission without anyone killing a zombie.
Easier with a partner, but can be soloed. I recommend playing episode 1, and restarting until you get a mission like "take pictures of dragon heads", or some other non-combat based mission. Get this mission done without killing anything, then hide out until the end of the day. Once you make it to the Safehouse after 9pm, this should unlock.
I Get Knocked Down – Finish a day where every player is revived once, but no one dies.
I recommend boosting this with 1 person. Take turns getting downed and rezzed, and then survive to the end of an episode.
Zombie Killer MVP I, II, III, IV – Earn the Zombie Killer MVP title by killing the most zombies in a single day 1/5/10/15 times.
Try and stay in vehicles as much as you can to really rake up the kills, especially if you are doing this at lower level.
First Blood I, II, III, IV – Earn 1/5/10/15 First Blood bonuses.
You can actually shoot through the barrier while waiting to start a round and score a kill before the start time expires.
Close Call – Reach the Safehouse with less than 50 health.
I got this with one try. Let zombies next to the Safehouse do enough damage to get you below 50. I had my health down to 100 when I got to the Safehouse, but you should have a ton of time to do this however you want.
Geronimo – Lose more than half your health from falling damage without dying.
Currently if you upgrade your health too much, this becomes UNOBTAINABLE. The highest place to jump from in MP is currently the lighthouse next to the boat. If you do this early on, you can do enough damage jumping off anywhere from the second floor to the first.
All This Love to Give – Heal 3 different players in a single day.
This requires 4 players, since you don't get credit for healing yourself. May be easier to boost this, but it definitely can be done if you can find some 4 player games
Team Building – Kill 500 zombies in a day as a team.
Use vehicles and this is super easy. The more players in an episode the better.
Speed Demon I, II, III, IV – Be the first to arrive at the Safehouse 1/5/25/50 times.
This one is a bit of a grind. You will do better once you start realizing common spots they create as Safehouses. Run there as fast as you can, and hope for the best.

PHOTOGRAPHY TRIAL TIPS:

Starting Out – Get a C-Rank photo in any category.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Getting Better – Get a B-Rank photo in any category.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Great Shot – Get an A-Rank photo in any category.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Fantastic Shot – Get an S-Rank photo of any category.
I got my first S-Rank photo when I picked up my FIRST blueprint in single player. There were a ton of zombies behind a glass wall.
B/A/S-Rank Brutality – Get a B/A/S-Rank Brutality photo.
Take a picture with a lot of dead zombies.
Tribute I, II, III – Take a Capcom Tribute photo of ANY QUALITY/A-RANK/S-RANK.
I found a store called JO*POP in Kiichiro Plaza (the plaza you do EVERY boss fight in multiplayer. I took a picture of the arcade game.
B/A/S-Rank Destruction – Get a B/A/S-Rank Destruction photo.
***WKFJonesy solution***Kill a group of Zombies, say 30 or so and then toss a grenade into the center of the bodies and snap the photo just as it explodes. make sure NO ZOMBIES are alive or partially alive in your photo. this will give slasher/horror - if you have done it correctly the destruction will be the main one registered but the points from the bodies will boost it to an S Rank
B/A/S-Rank Drama - Get a B/A/S-Rank Drama photo.
I got the "S" by taking a picture of an aggressive survivor under attack by a large group of zombies.
B/A/S-Rank Horror - Get a B/A/S-Rank Horror photo.
Horror appears to be pictures of lots of zombies walking around.
B/A/S-Rank Outtake - Get a B/A/S-Rank Outtake photo.
Grab a mask that you hold in your hand, and attack a zombie with it. This will place the mask over the zombie's head. Now just get a photo that includes this zombie and enough regular zombies to earn the S rating.
B/A/S-Rank Conspiracy - Get a B/A/S-Rank Conspiracy photo.
Pictures that include enemy soldiers will be labeled as Conspiracy. Find soldiers surrounded by a mass of zombies and you should get this.
War Zone – Get a B-Rank photo of Conspiracy and Destruction.
Throw a grenade at some soldiers (hopefully with a few zombies around for the photo score), then snap a pic as the grenade goes off. It is very tricky getting “Destruction” to register, so be prepared to attempt this one quite a few times.
The Silly Dead – Get a B-Rank photo of both Horror and Outtake categories.
If you did the S-rank Outtake photo like I did (see above), you should already have this.
Humans vs. Zombies – Get a B-Rank photo of survivors fighting zombies.
I got this taking a picture of an aggressive survivor (not a soldier!) fighting.
Slasher Flick – Get an A-Rank photo with Brutality and Horror.
Make some zombie corpses, then snap a photo with a few live ones still in the shot.
Infighting – Get an A-Rank photo of soldiers and zombies fighting.
Soldiers are in the military gear. Just get a decent photo of them in combat.
Man’s Inhumanity to Man – Get an A-rank photo of soldiers and survivors fighting.
Drag some survivors (they typically run at you very aggressively), and get them close to some soldiers. They should start to mess with one another.
Feeding Frenzy – Get a photo of 3 fresh zombies feasting.
***IcedDaniel solution*** Start Case 1 and play until you get to the double doors with the Emergency Shelter sign above. Open the door and crouch to the stairs. Pull out your camera and take a shot when the third Zombie is starting to eat. (Confirmed – I got this trial done the same way)
No Hope Left – Get a photo of a human transforming into a zombie before your eyes.
Sometimes when you open up a safe room (purple icons on the map), you will see a zombie munching on a corpse. Get your camera out, and hopefully the corpse will begin standing up to say cheese. If this doesn’t work for you, look for (typically fresh or evo zombies) feeding on corpses in the wild.
Lemmings – Catch at least 3 zombies falling in one photo.
The first time you meet an evolved zombie you get a chance for this photo (I actually failed to get the shot…). Otherwise look for elevated positions with zombies that can fall down to you. Fresh zombies are great, because they run at you quickly, making it more likely that multiple will be airborne at the same time
Pounced I – Snap a photo of a fresh zombie mid-pounce.
Fresh zombies are the red-eyed guys in single player, or the guys with santa bags in multi-player. I focused on one and waited for him to pounce at me.
Pounced II – Catch a photo of an evolved zombie mid-jump.
The first time you see an evolved zombie, get your camera out, and wait for him to jump and hang on a wall. Aim your camera a little above him, then snap the photo when he leaps. Took me a couple tries.
Fresh Pack – Get a photo of a pack of 5 fresh zombies.
See “Fresh Horde”
Fresh Horde – Get a photo of a pack of 10 fresh zombies.
***IcedDaniel solution*** I got the Fresh Horde Pic at the building Site in Old Town. It’s the White Square above the Old Town Shelter and you can jump down into the zombies. (This worked for me, but sometimes a fresh zombie got stuck inside the wall of the building, which required me to reset the area by moving away then coming back).
Evo Pack – Get a photo of a pack of 5 evolved zombies.
There is a construction area near the cement warehouse with quite a few evolved zombies on the dirt level. I cleared out a few regular zombies, then easily snapped my photo. I think I was in Episode 5 when I got this one.
Paparazzo – Photograph every person of Interest.
Dr. Russell Barnaby (THIS IS A PHOTO! In case 3, when you search multiple homes looking for someone, she will tell you to look around with your camera. You need to take a picture of this photo TWICE for it to register as a person of interest.)
Tom Pickton
Commander Maria Fontana
Jessa Yatsuda
Paula
James Caballero
Jordan Maxwell
Darcy
Frank West
Brad Park
Kylie Hammond
Calder
Isaac Tremaine
Dr. Blackburn
Vick Chu

COMBAT TRIAL TIPS:

Zombie Slayer I-X – Kill 100/250/1k/2.5k/5k/10k/25k/50k/100k/250k zombies.
Get ready to end your single player campaign with a grind. You can review the achievement “Left 100,004 Dead 2”, but I actually did it slightly differently. Once you have the Sling Rot blueprint, there is a church in the north section of the map swarming with zombies. In the back of the church are the vehicles you need to make the Sling Rot. Create the vehicle, and then design a path that brings you back to the church with your vehicle down to around 20% durability. Rinse and repeat (a lot). There is an exo suit with a flamethrower next to this church as well. I took out the zombies at the church a few times with this to 1) mix it up a little, and 2) make sure I hit level 100 at around the same time as I finished this trial.
Wheels of War – Kill 300 zombies with the Warmonger.
All vehicles can be purchased at vendors. Otherwise wait until you get the blueprint.
Electric Ave – Kill 200 zombies with the Kill-O-Watt.
All vehicles can be purchased at vendors. Otherwise wait until you get the blueprint.
These Beats Are So Fresh! SSSNAP! – Kill 200 zombies with the Plunger Lure.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Big Zapper – Kill 200 zombies with the Tripod Zapper.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Carpet Bombing – Kill 200 zombies with the Tread Maker.
All vehicles can be purchased at vendors. Otherwise wait until you get the blueprint.
And My Axe! – Kill 200 zombies with the Electric Axe.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Making (Zombie) Chum – Kill 100 zombies with the Roto Killer.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Drop the Bomb – Kill 400 zombies with the Bazooka Cannon.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
You Shall Not Pass!! – Kill 200 zombies with the Gandelf.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
65 Million BC – Kill 100 zombies with either the Flaming Helmet or the Jurassic Barf.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Fresh Infected Purger I-VI – Kill 10/25/50/100/250/500 fresh zombies.
Fresh zombies have the red eyes in single player, and santa bags in multiplayer. If you are going for completion, you will finish these trials without special farming
Hammer Time – Kill 30 fresh zombies with the Acid Maul.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Stop All the Downloadin’ – Kill 30 fresh zombies with a Keyboard.
PRO TIP! Put the keyboard in your hand, then attach using “Y” instead of “X”. You will attack using your leg, but the kills will count towards this trial WITHOUT causing damage to the keyboard itself. The construction site where I got the “Fresh Horde” photo (see above) is a great place to farm this fast.
Evo Hunter I-IV – Kill 10/25/50/100 evolved zombies.
Once you hit Case 5, you will start seeing these guys all over the place. If you need to farm some, there is a construction site east of the cement warehouse (in the north of the map) that has 5-6 of these guys.
The Food Chain – Kill 10 evolved enemies with the Fish Launcher.
Kill an evo with your weapon of choice and figure out how many hits it takes to kill one. Then hit evo’s with one less hit, then unload on them with the Fish launcher to finish them off. When using the ice sword, I found that sometimes 4 swings would kill one, and sometimes 4 swings would not. I would swing 4 times, and if the evo was still standing, he got the fish.
Kill or Be Killed I-IV – Kill 10/25/50/100 hostile survivors.
These are the insane non-soldier humans you run into from time to time. You should not need to farm these guys, as 100 kills is easily achieved with regular play.
Tango Down I-IV – Kill 10/25/50/100 enemy soldiers.
No special farming needed – 100 is easy to get with regular play.
Big Boy Down I-II – Kill 10/25 Exo-troopers.
You will see a lot more of these guys in later chapters. I did not have to farm these guys, since I got enough in regular playing. Make sure you stop and take one out when you come across them.
Fire Track – Kill 10 Flametroopers.
These are exo suit guys with flamethrowers. You see enough of them with regular play that farming should not be needed.
DON’T Give Him the Stick! – Kill 10 human enemies with Hockey Sticks.
I found my first hockey stick in a locker on the main level in West Ridge Shelter when I arrived. This may not be consistent, however. I also found them exploring houses in the north part of the map, and around the school that you go to as part of the story. ONE hockey stick will be plenty to get this done.
Cool Cuts – Kill 50 human enemies with the Ice Sword.
I used Ice Swords constantly, since they were so easy to make. You probably will not have issues with this one.
CQC Champ – Kill 100 human enemies with Deck the Halls or Glass Knuckles.
It takes about 2 Deck the Halls to finish this trial, if you are careful to only use them on humans. I “farmed” this one a little, since I was getting sick of changing weapons back and forth every time I saw a human character.
Make it Rain – Kill 100 enemies with the Acid Rain.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Stepping in It – Kill 300 enemies with traps (Floating Lantern, Suckmaster 3000, Santa Traps).
Remember that you can pickup a Suckmaster after its effect completes. I think you can throw one 10-15 times before it finally breaks.
What About the Future? – Kill 300 enemies with the Holey Terror, Umbrella Gun, or Ion Cannon.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Fa-la-la-la-lah! – Kill 200 enemies with the Ornament Gun.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Expellius!! – Kill 100 enemies with the Magic Wand.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Chop Till You Drop – Kill 200 enemies with the MowerHawg.
All vehicles can be purchased at vendors. Otherwise wait until you get the blueprint.
Deep Fry Everything – Kill 100 enemies with the Creep Fryer.
All vehicles can be purchased at vendors. Otherwise wait until you get the blueprint.
Captain Cryonic Commando – Kill 200 enemies with the Cryonic Commando.
All vehicles can be purchased at vendors. Otherwise wait until you get the blueprint.
Punchy – Defeat 200 enemies using close quarters weapons and unarmed attacks.
Use your fists, MMA gloves, Deck the Halls, etc. Super easy
It’s Froztee!! – Kill 100 enemies with the Froztee Penguin.
No BRAAAAAAAIN(er)....
Hole in One – Kill 200 enemies with the Bogey Monster.
All vehicles can be purchased at vendors. Otherwise wait until you get the blueprint.
Hot Stuff – Burn 250 zombies.
Fire Sword, Fire Starter, Fire grenades
Brain Freeze – Freeze 250 zombies.
Ice Sword, Froztee Penguin, Ice Grenade
Acid Reflux – Burn 250 zombies with acid.
Acid Maul, Leaky Maul (MP only), Acid Rain, Acid Grenade

EXPLORATION TRIAL TIPS:

Blunt Combo Creator – Create 15 Combo Weapons of the Blunt category.
Lots of choices – you can make the same pattern multiple times.
Blade Combo Creator – Create 15 Combo Weapons of the Bladed category.
Lots of choices – you can make the same pattern multiple times.
Unarmed Combo Creator – Create 15 Combo Weapons of the Unarmed category.
I made “Deck the Halls” and “Glass Knuckles”
Elemental Combo Creator – Create 15 Combo Weapons of the Elemental category.
Electric Axe, Fire Sword, Ice sword, and many other options available here.
Pistol Combo Creator – Create 15 Combo Weapons of the Pistol category.
As far as I can tell, only “Raining Nails” counts towards this trial.
Rifle Combo Creator – Create 15 Combo Weapons of the Rifle category.
Split shot and I think Holey Terror both count. I got this one without even trying as I played.
Launcher Combo Creator – Create 15 Combo Weapons of the Launcher category.
Bazooka cannon and Ornament Gun were my Go-To’s here.
Master Combo Creator – Create one of every Combo Weapon
Review the “Innovator” achievement for a full list. The trial requires 51 unique combines, so I don’t think any of the vehicle combines count. Trap Santa and DIY Grenades EACH have 3 variations that need to all be created (Fire, Ice, and Acid). There is no way to know what you have made, and if your game crashes (as it tends to do from time to time), you could lose credit for recently made items. I had to remake a few rarely used items at the end to get this to pop, due to crashes.
Driving’s for Chumps – Destroy 100 vehicles.
I would swing at random Big Wheels or Wheelchairs in multiplayer to work towards this as I played. Not sure you would hit 100 without going out of your way at least a little.
The Grinch – Destroy 50 holiday decorations.
You should get this without trying. There are lots of decorations in the area where you hit the Gong in multiplayer.
Willamette Sightseeing I-V – Discover 25/50/100/150/163 locations across Willamette.
The Map shows bright white areas that can be explored. Once you have explored it, an icon will appear in the white area. A few buildings are white but do not unlock exploration (like the construction area in Old Town), while a few other places give you credit for exploring a region, rather than a building (like the “North Pole” in the mall).
Art Watcher I-X – Photograph 5/10/20/30/40/50/60/70/80/100 Zombie Tags.
Buy the maps as you level up Emergency Shelters. The one a LOT of people miss is in the NW corner of the military base in the north. You *think* you should get it at the end of Case 4, but you actually find it at the beginning of Case Zero. Right next to the guard booth, you need to walk up to the garage door, and it will automatically open. I just saved you an hour of misery… you are welcome!

Does anyone know how to get feeding frenzy yet??

By xUNDEAD CHIEFx on 10 Dec 2016 04:46

Thanks for taking the time to complete this list. Very useful.

By alandonovan on 10 Dec 2016 09:07

I can't seem to get PACIFIST by this method. The trial says complete one mission, usually these involve killing something. Any advice or clarification would be appreciated, thanks

By alandonovan on 10 Dec 2016 10:47

Does anyone know what combos you need to make to get the pistol combo creator trial completed? I'm only missing that one and the Master combo creator trial and I'll have all the exploration ones completed.

By Kelky 111 on 10 Dec 2016 15:08

I've tried pacifist two times now too Alan. Didn't get it either. There are some missions where you only need to take pictures or break something. I assume this would be something you need to do to make it register.

Edit: I just did pacifist. Episode 2, had to get 4 bombs then set the charges. I lured all the zombies away from the explosion and finished day 1. Got it at the end and was able to kill again day 2.

By Akshun on 10 Dec 2016 16:05

Thank you LT, that now looks possible.

By alandonovan on 10 Dec 2016 18:04

Thank you Akshun. Will try it soon.

By alandonovan on 10 Dec 2016 22:48

The 3 bosses in episode 4 look like they only count once on the trial list... despite counting 3 times on the leaderboard.

By MajinFro on 10 Dec 2016 23:41

Does anybody know anything about photographing the persons of interest?? I've held off completing all of the cases, because I'm not sure how much you can go back and do... I know there is case select, but idk what carries over if anything from the previous save. This seems like a highly missable trial...

By ClaytThaGreat on 11 Dec 2016 02:07

I'm not sure on that one honestly. I've been doing nothing but multiplayer to finish that up first. Haven't really played the single player at all.

By Rashaka1 on 11 Dec 2016 04:35

The kill x amount of zombies missions you get after doing the normal missions dont seem to count towards the 250 missions wich makes this a longer grind

By evil terrorr on 11 Dec 2016 14:11

Wow... can anyone confirm evil terror's statement? I will try and investigate as well.

By Lt Warfarin on 11 Dec 2016 14:55

I had my suspicions on this one. It's really not that big of a deal though. Just complete the missions you can get and then quit out after you kill the boss on day 2. Make sure you always grind on episode 2 because you get 3 missions at the start of each day.

By Rashaka1 on 11 Dec 2016 18:51

Somebody posted a vid on youtube for feeding frenzy and I just got it that way as well. Load up case 1 and make it to Caribbean Cove. Right before you go in the shelter access tunnel crouch and slowly walk to the edge of stairs, three should be feeding. If three are not feeding go "explore" then come back.

By D3M0NxHUNT3R on 11 Dec 2016 21:14

My Master Combo trial is 0/51, but I have crafted dozens of combos, incl gold. I am wondering if it is because I am MP only ATM. Can anybody clarify? TVM. This is a very useful thread, suspect it will grow!

By alandonovan on 12 Dec 2016 07:07

The pistol combo creator is just raining nails blueprint nothing else worked and in MP if u max health jump off pirate ship crows nest onto floor by boat i had 1000 health at the time and lost 700 of it.....and for the 51 combo weapons u need to be in SP and the santa trap and DIY grenade each have 3 things for it that count...Fire....Ice...Acid...so gas cannister..liquid nitrogen...and acid...

By on 12 Dec 2016 16:02

Persons of interest are in the story mode most people u meet are people of interest and everything carries over just have to case select for most people u meet....its easy i found loading up case 5 is good for collectibles for people just run through story snapping pics of people...survivor encounters are not people of interest btw..

By on 12 Dec 2016 16:23

If anyone needs further questions answered or anything else with this game or any game message me directly...

By on 12 Dec 2016 16:34

Hello. Not played SP so bear with me.
Can anybody explain the 58 unique combo weapons (for the achievement) please?
I thought 51, incl extras, was available in SP.
There are 3 healing combos in MP.
Can anybody confirm the missing 4.
I have crafted 6 gold combos, but they were not tracked on the trial.
Thanks for any info.

By alandonovan on 14 Dec 2016 20:42

@Alandonovan

None of the multiplayer gold blueprints count. You are probably missing the variations on the Santa trap and the DIY grenades. One pattern for both of these, but you have to make the Ice, Fire and Acid variation of both which is 6 combos for 2 blue prints.

By Rashaka1 on 15 Dec 2016 18:18

@AgEnT STARZz a microscope can be bought from the weapon vendor at the North Peak emergency shelter

By x Daniel Nash 7 on 15 Dec 2016 20:14

@Rashaka1. Thank you very much for confirming gold combos... I was curious. I will have to play close attention in SP when I get there.
Cheers my friend.

By alandonovan on 15 Dec 2016 20:40

Where to craft the food truck combo vehicle?

Where to find no hope left. ..take a picture of a human turning into zombie?

By D3V1Lz ASSAZZ1N on 15 Dec 2016 22:54

Just an in game list, no help given. Thumbs down.

By BPBPBPBPBPBPBP on 17 Dec 2016 23:33

@BPBPBPBPBPBPBP then you clearly haven't looked in the spoilers

By evil terrorr on 18 Dec 2016 00:59

Click the spoilers BP. There's tips, most of them are self explanatory. If you haven't played MP yet you'll notice you can only check the list while fighting zombies basically. So this list will come in handy then.

By Akshun on 18 Dec 2016 01:04

Far from just an in game list. Learn to look closer.

By Rashaka1 on 18 Dec 2016 02:25

@D3V1Lz ASSAZZ1N

The no hope left you can frequently get when you open a panic room door. Just have your camera ready when you click to open and start taking pics when the door opens. Frequently there is a fresh zombie in the room turning from human. That's how I got mine and I saw it many times afterwards.

By Rashaka1 on 18 Dec 2016 02:27

Sorry, only one I looked under spoiler was exploration because I was under the impression that each category of 15 weapon crafting needed to be unique. I didn't know you could repeat the same combo builds. I'll retract my vote.

By BPBPBPBPBPBPBP on 18 Dec 2016 23:16

Can you revive somebody with the grenades/rockets/spray?

By Streiter Elite on 21 Dec 2016 00:13

@Streiter: no, you have to get on top of them and hold the B button.

By Lt Warfarin on 21 Dec 2016 04:30

Hello all. Those worried about "missing" the persons of interest photos due to completing the story - never fear. You are able to go back through any case and snag the missing photos after a play through. You'll also keep your current PP and money. It just carries over, hope this helps!

By Mullock on 21 Dec 2016 12:52

For the fortitude challenge, I had unlocked the first health increase skill and the only place I found high enough was the walkway behind the pirate ship.

By Megamonkeymania on 21 Dec 2016 20:38

For the Food Chain Trial - I would hit the evolved zombie 3 times with the ice sword. Then it would take 1-3 fish to finish it off. I did it in case 5 where you get 3 at the kimex cement factory then 9 more in the sewers. All are isolated from other zombies so it makes it easier, however you may have to fight them together at certain points. It's very doable.

By Browncoat1515 on 23 Dec 2016 17:04

The tip for the Stop All the Downloadin’ trial was a HUGE time saver! Thanks for that one! 150,000 zombie kills and three multi-player trials to go...

By JohnnyInterfnk on 23 Dec 2016 17:30

To clarify for all I have to I've multiplayer trial. It's just heal three players not revive 3 players in one day. Just use the spray and pray on three team mates in one day. Much easier than I thought. Way easier than revives!

By Browncoat1515 on 24 Dec 2016 00:40

I boosted Helping Hand. We had 4 people, and we would have 3 people go up an escalator and jump off, then the guy at the bottom did the reviving. This is better than getting killed by zombies, since it is hard to Rez in a pile.

By Lt Warfarin on 24 Dec 2016 17:10

Fire Track – Kill 10 Flametroopers.
I found the quickest and easiest way for this is to simply fight the one at the end of Case 2, then as soon as you defeat him and the explosion symbol pops up, press start, quit to main menu, then load the story back up - the checkpoint put you right at the Flametrooper fight. Rinse and repeat and you'll get to 10/10 in no time.

By GHOST INS1DE on 25 Dec 2016 03:18

EASY S-RANK DESTRUCTION PHOTO - kill a group of Zombies, say 30 or so and then toss a grenade into the centre of the bodies and snap the photo just as it explodes. make sure NO ZOMBIES are alive or partially alive in your photo. this will give slasher/horror - if you have done it correctly the destruction will be the main one registered but the points from the bodies will boost it to an S Rank

By WKFJonesy on 27 Dec 2016 18:25

Nice, WKJonesy - I will update the guide and credit you.

By Lt Warfarin on 27 Dec 2016 18:51

no worries man :)

By WKFJonesy on 27 Dec 2016 20:19

so does any one know of another spot for the ten fresh zombies i cant seem to find where its listed in the guide on my map

By on 31 Dec 2016 10:25

Anyone have more info on the Master Combo Creator Trial? I used the list, was at 50/51 to start, and in single player, one session, I created every single item from the combo lists. Made all melee combos including the variant Santas and grenades, all thrown items, and ranged weapon. Also a few gold weapons just for grins. Still at 50/51. This is my last Trial. Glitchy is the only way I can describe the record keeping in this game.

By Nick Kevlar on 03 Jan 2017 04:01

Nevermind my previous comment, I was using a list that did not include the Sentry Cat. Created it and both the Trials based achievo's popped. now that 100%, it looks like the main menu option Game Saves, can shed a little light on why this is not complete. You need all skills from single and multi, and more, that I'll let you all check out for yourselves.
I'm missing 1 thing in SP, a training manual that I remember picking up and it is no longer there. These are in different locations for multi, FYI.

By Nick Kevlar on 03 Jan 2017 04:21

so any good spots for the ten fresh zombies photo?

By on 03 Jan 2017 10:24

@DeMoNBaLoRKiNgX, if you go to your safehouse in old town, the spot mentioned for this photo is the building directly to your north. It never gets a discovery icon, even if you visit it. You need to get down to the dirt level (there is a dump truck down there). Gather up a big pile of zombies and start snapping pics... it took me a few tries, since some zombies like to get stuck in the walls of the buildings sometimes.

I honestly doubt there is another place in the entire game where this could be done... unless you get really lucky in multiplayer?

By Lt Warfarin on 03 Jan 2017 14:51

Any News about Geronimo trial? I cant obtain it with 1000hp -_-

By TrUe00KrILoS on 04 Jan 2017 18:28

Guaranteed spawn for the hockey stick is the courtyard in westridge jr. highschool near where you dig up the blueprint with the exo suit.

By Calex dEUS on 05 Jan 2017 19:41

Here is a video I found for the lemmings photo can be done in the mall food court

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oznP3fDvwnY

I didn't do in the same way though I just got a pack to follow me up the stairs after dropping down , then jumped to the adjacent blocks and snapped away .

By Calex dEUS on 06 Jan 2017 16:42

I wasn't seeing any evo's in the spot mentioned in chapter 5, however if you play the mission and start climbing up after Tom there will be at least 5 if not more on the 2nd or 3rd floor with no other zombies to get in the way. It's just as you get the exo suit.

By Calex dEUS on 07 Jan 2017 11:25

For Stop All the Downloadin the spot in the guide is great , there is also a keyboad that is a persistent spawn upstairs in the near by safehouse.

By Calex dEUS on 07 Jan 2017 20:26

Anyone got tips for getting these two?

Man’s Inhumanity to Man – Get an A-rank photo of soldiers and survivors fighting.
No Hope Left – Get a photo of a human transforming into a zombie before your eyes.

By Bootybandit1#751 on 07 Jan 2017 23:50

@ Lt Warfarin ok thank you for the reply sorry it took so long for me to see it I will definetly go there

By on 09 Jan 2017 07:51

If anybody is having trouble with the NO HOPE LEFT photo in case 4 after you fight the evolved zombies in the room with the cell in it and go down the first set of steps kill the fresh zombie and as you start down the second set of steps there's a evolved zombie eating a guy to the right of the steps if you take a pic of him eating him you'll get the no hope left photo

By z TENACIOUS E z on 15 Jan 2017 16:24

By L1ttlemike on 10 Feb 2017 17:17

For the Close Call trial, I keep entering the safe house with under 50 health, but I fear that since I have unlocked the slow regen of health, it is what is causing me to not unlock the trial. Any assistance?

By SL1CK CHR1S on 13 Feb 2017 16:23

@Lt Warfarin I just did a solo run in episode 3 and it popped so I'm just glad to be in the home stretch for these trials

By xCrimsonLegendx on 03 Apr 2017 23:55

My sightseeing is stuck at 15/25.
I just started the game today, but everytimes I see it pop it still show 15/25.

By ParadoxReal8 on 13 May 2017 18:42

I can confirm you don't have to lose health for the eat 30 food in a day. Easiest way is to stay at the safehouse and to keep buying food full capacity and eat them. I completed this trial that way!

By ParadoxReal8 on 15 May 2017 00:15

I did "The Food Chain" trial in case 3 when yo are in the lab at the winery, about 3-4 evo zombies spawned, hit them once with the Gold Roto Killer and then shoot them with the Fish Launcher about 8 times. When all evo zombies are killed just reload the checkpoint and you will have the progress gained and all the fish launcher back. (I recommend having about 3 fish launcher) Hope it helps!

By XxPafranxX on 18 Jun 2017 19:10

I've been scouring the net for this, can't find one single thing about it......exactly how do you destroy vehicles for the Driving's For Chumps trial?? I've gotten through most o the other trials and noticed I have 37/100. I tried driving and crashing a car until it exploded, also smashed one until it exploded, nothing. What is this?

....also, DBB, that construction site is definitely a good spot for fresh zombies for me, I would leave it and come back, see if they appear.

By RickSlayer on 25 Jun 2017 13:08

@RickSlayer - I did this in MP, and just beat on any vehicle i saw. This includes big wheels, tricycles, etc. Shouldn't take much time.

By Lt Warfarin on 25 Jun 2017 14:40

I found great place for FRESH HORDE. In Case IV After you shutdown generator's in Military Base, you go outside and ther is lot's of zombis incl. lot of fresh zombies. Run, gather them around you and voila.

By Dark Starscrem on 02 Jan 2018 12:06

Sorry alandonovan, I put in the solution for the achievement where you get through a day without using a weapon. The solution to pacifist is now updated, and Akshun is exactly right. Sorry for the confusion.

By Lt Warfarin on 10 Dec 2016 12:46

For those having problems with the keyboard kills on fresh zombies. Load up multiplayer episode 1. Buy a couple automatic guns, LMG's work best. I usually buy two or 3. Next to the castle on one of the sides is a kiosk with a bunch of keyboards in boxes. There is a keyboard you can actually pick up on top of one of the boxes. Now go find some zombies with the loot bags on their backs, all the colors work. Use your LMG to get a 20 hit combo on plain zombies and then use the Y+B attack on a fresh zombie to get your kill. I get on average 8-10 fresh zombie kills a day with this method. Will give you something to do while grinding the boss trials.

On that note, a good method for boss grinding is doing episode 2 so that you can get more missions toward the 250 trial and then be sure to kill the boss at the end of day 2. As soon as you kill the boss quit out of the game and launch a new one. You keep all trial credit when you quit out including any zombie kills.

By Rashaka1 on 11 Dec 2016 18:55

I cant find a microscope anywhere, its the last gun i need to combo and i must of been around the map at least 100 times. My safehouses have glitched so i cant even check the vendors if they have one

By AgEnT STARZz on 15 Dec 2016 14:59

@D3V1Lz ASSAZZ1N You can craft the food truck combo vehicle in North Peak over by a night/strip club close to the gas station.

As for a human turning you have to keep an eye out for a fresh zombie that is seizing on the ground, it's a human turning into a fresh zombie. Hopefully that makes sense.

As for me, anyone looking to get the 4 player only trial and achievement, I need it as well so just message me! Thanks...

Big Boy Down I-II – Kill 10/25 Exo-troopers
I only had 17/25 when I finished case 6. For those who need to farm them without wanting to waste time waiting for random spawns I've found a spot there are 3 of them with a flametrooper.

Load up Case 4, then when you leave the house you find Hammond and her group in, you want to go to the spot in the screenshot below (where you are about to get on the highway from West Ridge to go to Old Town)

By GHOST INS1DE on 01 Jan 2017 06:39

@Paul Doyle

Man’s Inhumanity to Man
I actually managed to get in the mall in the section where the big pirate boat it is - there was soldier shooting zombies in one shop and the shop next to it had those hostile survivors in it - they weren't fighting each other which I thought the trial wanted.

Because of this I'm thinking you should be able to snap one of these in Old Town down from the Safe House where you create the combo vehicle from the tow truck and hearse - usually there are hostile survivors by the two cars and adjacent to them soldiers...

If/when they spawn may be act dependent, as at the time of screenshot'ing this location image, neither were there...

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Heartagram07/screenshot/5491893

No Hope Left
Got this one purely by luck/accident by snapping a zombie behind Big Bull 's Meat Shop in Old Town and the trial completion came up. Hopefully this one spawns here for you too - approach with camera out and snap the zombie in that corner that seems like he is feeding from a distance

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Heartagram07/screenshot/5491877

By GHOST INS1DE on 08 Jan 2017 10:06

@SL1CK CHR1S - I remember doing this and having zombies right outside the safehouse door. I also had regen, but got myself down to 10-20 health. Obviously you want to do this solo, so your random coop buddies don't kill them off while you are trying to get beat down.

By Lt Warfarin on 13 Feb 2017 16:55

Anyone know the recipes for the ice fire acid grenades?
Edit: Wow so you have to hit

when creating a DIY grenade and same with the Santa traps. Different varients to get all the combo weapons made geez took days to figure this out was going through the combo list over and over and was sure I made everything. So easy once I got an acid jar, Molotov grenade, motor oil, and nitrogen to make all the DIY grenade varients and singing santas. Just went into bars (mostly Old Town) in the campaign to find Martini shakers to make the DIY grenades.

*MULTIPLAYER TRIALS TIP*

My friend and I discovered an easy solution to doing the 250 missions and 50 bosses easily.. let start with the bosses

Two people are required for this, both of you will be taking turns doing this. The friend that is the host will not be doing this first. Start off by loading up episode 1 then both of you getting some Bazooka Cannons, they can be purchased from a store or make with a Toy Cannon and Chemicals which can be found in Ye Olde Toybox in the area you Spawn in.

Now that you've done that, complete the main mission and do the kill zombies side missions up until 100/100 kills(this is so the boss spawns on day 2)then just do whatever until day 2.

*1 Day Later*

Now that you've got to day 2 still with your Bazooka Cannons(Make them gold if you can for bonus damage), do the main mission and any side missions that follow, once that is done it should be roughly 12 noon - 1 pm and the boss should spawn. Make sure you both run over there to the gong(DO NOT HIT THE GONG)and have the host get somewhere safe. Here's where the method comes in.

Have the host kick you from the game and you'll notice you'll be in a game by yourself, spawn and kill the boss then join your friends game in progress, once you spawn in his/her game pick up the Bazooka Cannon( It'll be where you were last standing in his/her game before they kicked you, if not have the host drop you one that they should of picked up)
*NOTE*
Make sure the host doesn't spawn the boss in their game, when the day is going to end then they spawn and kill the boss so at least they get 1 kill.

Have the host kick you, kill the boss, join back and pick up the gun, host kicks you, kill the boss, join back....yeah you get the idea

Alright so for the 250 missions it's almost the same thing, load up epsiode 1(pay attention here) clear out the area it says to for the first main mission and it should say collect your reward to complete it DON'T collect the reward. Have the host get somewhere safe and kick you, once you've been kicked collect the reward and you'll get credit for the mission, join their game, get kicked, collect reward, repeat.

Hope I helped everyone out! :D

P.S if you have no one to do this with message me on Xbox asking me for help on DR4 multiplayer and I'll spend some time helping you out :)

This method works and its very effective, especially since "Like a Boss" and "Teamwork" are typically going to be the last two trials that people will need to finish. Very helpful method

By WizardSleeve08 on 23 Jan 2017 11:42

I tried several times to do the boss repeat, and it only allowed us to repeat the boss once. After coming back twice, the game split us up and glitched out.

As for the 250 missions part. It worked. Best to start and go and get the zapper tripod in the camera store. it clears the enemies in any store quickly, even running up to get it and coming back down to clear the store down stairs is worth it. by 11am you finished your mission and you can get 8-10 or more completed before 9pm

Works like a charm!

Beautiful concept regarding the bosses! Got 7-8 done every round, with a few improvements on your method. Saved me a ton of time.

Missions however are more easily done a different way.

This works great! As others have commented it can glitch out into a limbo-esque lobby when rejoining your partner for the boss fight, but after lots of testing I found how to avoid this happening (at least for me).
Once I kill the boss, I always open 1 of the 2 reward crates while waiting til the new objectives scroll through to 'Kill 50 zombies'. Once that disappears, I accept the invite back to partners game. This has worked for me every single time since trying it this way. It seems more likely that the waiting does the trick rather than the crate but you have to kill a little time anyway so might as well grab it. Hope this works for someone else.

I keep getting the glitch with the bosses I’ve tried waiting a few seconds and I’ve even opened the rewards chest and still keeps happening

Online required. For this, you have to complete all the single player and multiplayer trials in the base game. Thankfully, everything is cumulative (i.e. it’s not like Dead Rising 3 where when you finish tier 1 of a trial, tier 2 starts from 0 again).

For more info on the single player trials, refer to "Story Completionist." As for the multiplayer trials, they are as follows. If I didn’t list what a particular rank unlocks, it’s because it just unlocks PP and/or money:

Create 1, 5, & 10 gold combo weapons
Self-explanatory. Obviously you have to unlock gold weapons to be able to make them. You can find gold bars as random drops, or buy them from vending machines once you've done the "loot 20000 scrap" trial. The last rank unlocks the Solid Gold skill.

Kill 1, 10, 25, & 50 bosses
As noted in the overview, these only spawn on Day 2 of an episode. After you complete or fail all the missions given to you at the start of a day, all players must go to Kiichiro Plaza to ring the Doom Gong. It’s recommended to farm Episode 1 or 2 for this, as they’re relatively easy. Regardless, this is a real grind - it is likely the only multiplayer trial that will take longer for you will be the 250 missions one, and it's very possible this one will actually take more time.

Rank 1 unlocks the Spray & Pray combo weapon, which can be used to heal allies. Rank 3 unlocks the Gold Electric Axe, and 4 unlocks the Gold Ice Sword.

Kill 1, 10, 25, & 50 loot zombies
Loot zombies are fresh zombies that are dressed like snowmen or gingerbread men and are wearing backpacks. This will come naturally as you play. Ranks 1-3 unlock tiers of the Grave Robber skill; rank 4 unlocks the Gold Equalizer.

Complete 1, 25, 100, & 250 missions
Likely the last multiplayer trial you’ll finish, this is the biggest grind of the multiplayer trials – particularly because the “kill X number of zombies” trials don’t count, unless they’re given to you at the start of the day. Once you've leveled up a bit and taken care of the other trials, I'd recommend playing the later episodes - even though they're harder, they have more missions you can complete.

Rank 3 unlocks the Gold Blambow; rank 4 unlocks the Gold Ornament Gun.

Complete any 3 missions in episode 1
Unlocks episode 2. They do not have to be done in one game.

Complete any 8 missions in episode 2
Unlocks episode 3. They do not have to be done in one game.

Complete any 12 missions in episode 3
Unlocks episode 4. They do not have to be done in one game.

Complete any 15 missions in episode 4
Unlocks exo suits. They do not have to be done in one game.

Complete 1, 10, 25, & 50 days
“Completing” a day means surviving it, i.e. getting to the safehouse at the end. Ranks 1-3 unlock tiers 1-3 of the Quick Study skill; rank 4 unlocks the Gold Bazooka Cannon.

Revive another player 1, 10, 25, & 50 times
This is best done via boosting, as it’s a real grind otherwise. Load up an episode 1 private match with a friend, and proceed to one of the nearby escalators outside of Medieval Town. Take turns throwing yourselves off the 2nd floor and reviving one another. If one of you is leveled up a bit already, it’s recommended that person finish his or her 50 revives first. They should then start up a new game in a different save slot – their character will start at level 1 again, meaning they’ll go down super quickly. Once both people have the revives, the person who loaded a new game can go back to their original one.

Rank 2 unlocks the Thick Skin skill; rank 4 unlocks the Gold Laser Sword.

Heal others for 1000, 5000, 10000, & 20000 health
This is relatively easy enough, even without boosting. You can just follow another player throughout the episode and heal them as necessary. The hardest part of this is actually getting the healing items – you’ll either have to play as Connor (he starts with one), unlock the blueprints for them so you can make them, buy them from vending machines, or find them as random drops.

Rank 4 unlocks the Rocket Bandage combo weapon.

Loot 5000, 20000, 50000, & 100000 scrap
Self-explanatory. These will come naturally. Rank 2 unlocks the Investment skill; rank 4 unlocks the Jackpot skill.

Eat 10, 20, & 30 times in one day
Can be done solo. Basically keep grabbing a bunch of food, run into crowds of zombies, and heal yourself every time you get hit. Best done on episode 1. Rank 1 unlocks the Potluck skill.

Survive a day without anyone dying or eating food
Unlocks the Food Bank skill. Can be done in solo private. It’s easier the higher your level. If you’re having trouble, you can do this in day 2, and just proceed to the safe house (see the overview for locations) and wait there.

Survive a day and complete a mission without anyone killing a zombie
Unlocks the Frostbite skill. Can be done in solo private. Obviously some luck is required, as the mission itself has to be one that you can complete without killing anything. I'd recommend hanging out at the safehouse location/finding somewhere you won't be attacked after you complete the mission.

Finish a day where everyone is revived once, but no one dies (“I Get Knocked Down”)
Unlocks the Surgeon skill. You’ll likely have to boost this in a private match (it can be done with 2 people), as this doesn’t happen naturally very often (or ever). Everyone is either good enough to not go down at all, or bad enough that they die quickly.

Kill the most zombies in a day 1, 5, 10, & 15 times (Zombie Killer MVP)
Requires playing with at least 1 other person. Rank 3 unlocks the Out With a Bang skill, rank 4 unlocks the Gold Ion Cannon.

If you’re trying for this legit and are having difficulty, I have two words for you: Split Shot. Either buy 2-3 of them or make them (the latter requires having the blueprint from single player, and then combining a lead pipe with any regular firearm). It’s also preferable to have bought the skills that increase your ammunition for assault rifles (the Split Shot maxes at 480 bullets, which means you can fire continuously for a minute or two without stopping). After that, go to Caribbean Cove where the pirate ship is, and unload on the zombies there – there are usually several hundred in the area. Other good locations are the mall entrance (southeast part of Central Plaza) and the lower floor of the Amazon Food Court, though the latter depends on what episode you're on.

Kill the first zombie in a day 1, 5, 10, & 15 times
Requires playing with at least 1 other person. If you’re having trouble with this, you can shoot zombies through the fence at the start of the day. Just be considerate of others and don’t do that once you’ve unlocked the max rank for this.

Rank 2 unlocks the Gold Floating Lantern, rank 4 unlocks the Gold Acid Maul.

Reach the safehouse with less than 50 health.
Can be done solo. Find some zombies when you’re near the safehouse at the end and get hit until you’re below 50 health. It could be useful to have a partner to revive you in case you lose too much health.

Lose more than half your health from falling damage without dying
Easiest done when you’re a low level, as once you level up the percentage of health you lose when you fall will be less. Just find somewhere that has a 2nd floor and jump off.

If you do goof up and level up a lot before trying for this, you’ll have to lower your health significantly before jumping; you have to lose more than 50% of your current health (not your max health).

Heal 3 different people in a single day
This is in a single game day, not a real-time day. Obviously requires playing with a full game of 4 people. You’ll need to either unlock healing items by completing multiplayer trials, find those items as random drops, buy them from vending machines, or play as Connor, since he starts with the healing spray weapon. Note that it only has 60 ammo, so be careful with it.

Kill 500 zombies in a day as a team
Can be done solo, but is obviously easier as a team. See the method above for Zombie Killer MVP if you’re having trouble.

Be the first to arrive at the safe house 1, 10, 25, & 50 times.
This is the most troublesome of the online trials that can’t be done solo, since it’s a grind, and you can only get one per day. As such, this should be priority number one if playing legit. As noted in the overview, keep an eye out for stores with flashing red lights, as one of these will be the safe house in day 1; as for the day 2 safe houses, refer to the overview for their locations.

The first 3 ranks unlock the various tiers of the Stock Up Skill; the last unlocks the Gold Flaming Sword.
