i hope this helps someone (there could be other random reasons i just wanted to share that i caught onto my own personal reason for it not working)
Back at Eleanor's apartment, everyone gears up with weapons and you can reveal what happened with Lingard or choose to keep it a secret. From here, discuss the game plan and how to escape. Ava will mention a truck that they can use to escape and reveals that the truck is in the safe zone beyond the herd of walkers. Kate joins the group and notices Javier's stab wound. You can bring up how reckless Gabe was or lie about it. Gabe tries to change the subject by trying to share his own game plan. Everyone refuses to hear him out because he's a kid and they're not taking him. You can choose whatever dialogue you want during this conversation. Depending on your choices from previous episodes or what you selected in the Dialog Wheel. Gabe can mention that Javier murdered Conrad, which shocks Tripp to the point he no longer trusts Javier anymore.
After the argument, Javier and Clementine will go to get the truck while Gabe and Kate will be on the lookout. Before searching for the truck, you have the optional choice to talk to Gabe. You can also talk to Clementine to thank her for calming down Gabe. When you're finished looking around or talking to people, walk over to the Garage Door and Javier will automatically open it. Press to open the truck's door and to hide from the guards. Kate and Gabe will rejoin the group and Kate will steer the truck while everyone else pushes it from the back to gain some distance from the guards without alerting them (mash to do this). Kate has put the truck in neutral and there's no ignition key for the truck, so you're going to have to hotwire it. Before doing this, you'll have to search the area for tools to strip the wires.
Javier will automatically walk towards a red toolbox. Press to open the toolbox and pick up the Wire Cutters. A walker will grab Javier's arm, press to kill it with the hammer found in the toolbox. Use the hammer on the Panel, mash and press to pry it open. Now you need to hotwire the truck by doing the following:
- Select the Ignition Wire with and cut it with .
- Select the Battery Wire with and cut it with .
- Select the Power Ignition with and this will turn on the truck's lights and a herd of walkers break through the walls.
- Select the Started Wire with and cut it with .
- Select the Power Truck with and press three times to start the truck up.
Once the truck is working, everyone escapes from the walkers and the trophy will unlock.
This achievement is story-related and cannot be missed.
In this chapter, Javi and the group will venture across the town to a junkyard. Here, Javi and Clem find a van that will help them escape Richmond. As you attempt to hotwire the vehicle, a few walkers begin to overrun the junkyard. A few QTEs and button inputs later, Javi successfully hot-wires the vehicle, the group pours in, and they all escape the area.
