You can do this solo if you want or in a group with friends, in my case i had much higher ranked players than me show up halfway through the levels in some cases.
P.S. Not sure when it changed because a lot of places give info saying you can't see what missions you've done on hard exactly, for me at least in my Commendations sections as of the date 10th August 2023, there are five ways for each mission to tell They are as Follows:
- Complete ????? Mission on at least Hard 10 Times (Can't Remember which Group its in)
- Get 20 Headshots and Complete Mission on Hard (Combat Commendation)
- Loot 10 Boxs Complete Mission on Hard (Discovery Commendation)
- Complete ????? Mission on at least Hard without losing all your Armor (Tactical Commendation?)
- Complete all missions on Hard or Higher Counter will say 0/16 when you've yet to compete a mission on hard (16th Mission is Called Tidal Basin and is a Stronghold but does not count for this Trophy)
~Potentially glitched~
There have been some reports that this trophy isn't popping after the requirements have been met. Just to be safe, write a list of all missions and strongholds. Tick these off as you complete them. Doing them in order wouldn’t hurt either just in case.
Note: if you get disconnected, rumours are that it will not count. You will have to start the mission again from scratch just to be safe or complete it and redo it to avoid missing out on good loot.
There is an in game check list In the commendations menu, all main mission have a commendation for achieving the mission in Hard or above along with something else for example -Capitol Building Combat Merit is completing the mission on hard and achieving 20 headshots. The ones with achieving the mission ticked in the requirements have been validated in Hard Mode (or above). However, I would write a list as well just in case the game registers them in the commendations but not for the trophy. Thanks to Laurik for the info.
To select difficulty, scroll over the mission on the world map and hold to change difficulty to hard. The missions you must complete are:
1 - Grand Washington Hotel
2 - Jefferson Trade Centre
3 - ViewPoint Museum
4 - American History Museum
5 - Air & Space Museum
6 - Space Administration HQ
7 - Jefferson Plaza
8 - Bank Headquarters
9 - DCD Headquarters
10 - Lincoln Memorial
11 - Potomac Event Center
12 - Federal Emergency Bunker
13 - District Union Arena (Stronghold)
14 - Roosevelt Island (Stronghold)
15 - Capitol Building (Stronghold)
16 - Tidal Basin (Stronghold) is not needed
This trophy is best to be attempted after you reach world tier 5. By then you will have high level gear (450+). I recommend matchmaking for these levels. Keep in cover and take your time and you'll have no problem at all. Hard really isn't difficult so go with the load out that works best for you. Personally I use the turret and revive hive but that's just my preference. Check State of the Union for tips.
A full team of 4 on chat will make hard a breeze if you have that available to you. Use the boosting thread to seek out others if that's the route you want to take. You can check out the trophy boosting thread here: LINK
With a 2-3 man team they become very manageable and even on your own with good enough equipment they can be completed with relative ease. So for the easiest time with these missions, wait until the end-game and until you have powerful weapons before attempting them.
You can track which missions you have completed on Hard by going into 'Progression' on the pause menu, then scroll across to 'Commendations', then 'Discovery'. Here all of the missions will have a commendation for having found all of the loot and having completed it on Hard. If there is a check next to the 'Complete Mission' requirement of the commendation then you know you have done it on Hard.
