How to unlock the Bomb Squad achievement in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes - Definitive Guide
The easiest way I found to defuse the last 69 was to start up the mission 1.3, "The First Bomb" and quickly defuse that. It took anywhere from 7 to 40 seconds each time, for about an hour and a half for grinding.
Every bomb will be randomized to an extent. They will all have a wire module, a button module, and a keypad module, but the solution is generally different each time. Just have the manual pulled up (even though that's cheating ), and use the solutions on there to solve the bomb. After you defuse a few, you'll catch onto patterns and will be able to solve them even faster.
It always has the same three modules: Wires, The Button, and Keypads.
Here is a cheat sheet with what you need to beat this as quickly as possible:
It's a condensed version of the 'Pocket Manual' by Miszelek:

For The Button, "hold" means hold down The Button and release according to the colour of the indicator to its right; "release" means tap and release.
If you play on Series X/S or have a solid state harddrive, you should be able to average 45 seconds per level (including loading screens). If you've already finished the story levels, you should get the roughly 70 plays you need in about 50 minutes.
The tracker doesn't update, but you can see your progress at the Game Info Hub on your profile:

1. The tracker for this doesn't work, but in game hub there is a stat that tells you how many you've defused.
2. Sometimes the tracker in game hub is slow to update or updates in batches. Keep at it!!!
This will likely be the last trophy you obtain. All you have to do is defuse a total of 100 bombs across all modes. If you have already completed every section you can head into Free Play and defuse random bombs with a friend. A method to doing this solo is to have the Bomb Defusal Manual near you, then keep replaying section 1.3 "The First Bomb". This bomb will always contain the same 3 module types so it's just a matter of identifying the set of rules applied to your specific bomb and defusing each of the 3 modules. Once you start to learn the patterns you can defuse the bombs extremely fast. As a frame of reference, my fastest time was 3 seconds. So use whatever method works for you, but as long as you play the game, you will obtain this eventually.
