How to unlock the Soft Touch achievement in Metro Redux - Definitive Guide
There's a lot of traps during the game, the first one is in lost tunnel in the corridor before your first encounter with foes... And it's just after a checkpoint, so disarm the trap then reload checkpoint for 14 times... Boom: unlocked.
On the level Dead City there is a safe and two tripwire traps, so you can save time and reload getting both achievements. I made a video to show you how to get it.
This achievement is very easy to do but can take up to 3 - 5 minutes.
This is the best solution for the achievement, during chapter 4 after you leave the train/cargo you're on. You'll have to go through a camp area with a bunch of enemy soldiers. On your way through the camp there is a little area where you have to go through to get to the objective. There's a trip mine that's somewhat hard to miss but I highly suggest turning the brightness all the way up to find it.
Once you find the trip mine a checkpoint should automatically save before you trip over it, once the icon flashes that confirms you have a checkpoint at that position! Once the game checkpoints your spot then cut the trip wire, reload checkpoint and do this 15 times to get the achievement.
However if you somehow run into them like I did. There is a perfect level to do it and will only take less then 5 mins.
Go to chapter select and load up the level Dead City. As soon as you load up go to the left and first one is in the opening of the first door. Second one is after you follow the upstairs path to the right one is near the door easily missed.
* Don’t forget to put your gas mask on.
Here you need to disarm wire traps, these are set out across various Chapters in the game, they are commonly used to trigger grenades, explosions, falling logs to injure Artyom. To disarm them approach the the trap at the side and press the button prompt to cut the wire, disarming the trap. The best location to farm this trophy on is Frontline, when you cross the pipes to move to the lower area with all the rubble, there are 4 traps on the way to the exit, you can disarm these and reload checkpoint.
For this achievement, all you have to do is manually disable fifteen traps throughout your playthrough by pressing over their wiring mechanism. However, be mindful that because the tripwires of a trap are sometimes glanced over due to their hidden positioning, this achievement should be approached with care whilst exploring each level. There are plenty of traps hidden away in various levels, although if necessary, you can grind this achievement out in Dead City or Frontline, since there are two and four traps respectively towards the start of each level.
