Get Your Hands Dirty
Complete ‘Semper Fi’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
No tips required
Bloody Peleliu
Complete ‘Little Resistance’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
No tips required
The Sword Is Broken
Complete ‘Hard Landing’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
At the end of the mission you have to defend the airfield – Do NOT get on the Triple25 or you will die very quickly. Stay back and kill the soldiers until the mission is complete.
Architect
Complete ‘Vendetta’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
Pretty easy mission, except for two parts:
Sniper part – Once your told which floor the sniper is on (probably 3rd floor), go downstairs of the bar to the window and make it so that you can only see the most right window of the 3rd floor. When he looks out to shoot you, shoot him and move left fast to dodge his shot. Keep an eye out for decoys (you will see a light and a helmet bobbing up and down, dont shoot.) It took me 3 shots to beat him, take your time, don’t rush.
Crawling part – If you have a machine gun from earlier in the mission this part may be easier for you, it can be done with sniper rifle alone. As soon as the soldier spots you, run forward and start crawling. As you get under the fallen bookcase two soldiers will appear in the two windows – try to shoot them both, one shot each. Hit or miss get up and run through the door to the left and follow the wall into the corner, two more windows with two more soldiers, one shot each, run up the stairs hit or miss. You may die a few times attempting this on vetran but will get there in the end.
The Hammer Strikes
Complete ‘Their Land, Their Blood’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
The hardest part of this mission is exploding the four tanks at the end. There are plenty of missile launchers available throughout the mission and loads of undercover locations to shoot them from. When you open the barn and the final tank appears (shows an enemy tank on the compass before) quickly run to the corner of the barn. Shoot it as soon as it appears, go back on the side of the barn to reload, and repeat.
Scorched Earth
Complete ‘Burn ’em Out’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
This is one of the hardest missions to beat on Veteran. Make sure you raid the small bunkers to restock your supplies. The hardest part is clearing the tunnels towards the end. Go inside the first bunker on the left, get the Type 99 and a full stock of smoke and frag grenades. Throw two smoke grenades down the tunnel. Wait a couple seconds, go in and throw smoke grenades to the end of the cave. Wait for the smoke to fill the tunnel, walk up and throw some frags in the same place, shooting any runners. When they are all dead, run back to the small tunnel where you got your supplies, restock, and clear out the last mortar pit with smoke and grenades.
Fearless
Complete ‘Relentless’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
No tips required.

The Sun Sets
Complete ‘Breaking Point’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
The hill at the beginning is the only troublesome part – Take your time, hiding inside the empty spider holes. There is also a nice clearway at the left side of the hill to help move the other soldiers up.
For the Motherland
Complete ‘Heart of the Reich’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
Hard part of this mission is destroying the Flak cannons. Go for the right Flak 88 first, plant the charge, hide, then go for the left one. It takes a long time to get through but checkpoint should appear once the second one is destroyed. A tank will move up and explode, use this for cover. Kill as many German soldiers as you can then dash into the house to the right. Hold until your troops move up then the rest of the level is a walk in the park in comparison.
Bearing the Burden
Complete ‘Downfall’ on Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)
This mission is very easy overall. The first part is really hard and might discourage you. Don’t let it, once complete, the rest is very simple.
Saved Private Ryan
Save the soldier before he burns to death.
On the mission ‘Semper Fi’, after the first part a man on fire will come out of the house and attack Pvt. Ryan, shoot the man on fire to unlock this trophy.
Weapon of Mass Destruction
Radio in a naval bombardment that kills at least 4 Japanese soldiers.
In the mission ‘Little Resistance’, once you have gotten into the turret building, there should be a pit of Japanese Soldiers (this is the part when the tanks start to appear), airstrike them.
Lights Out!
In ‘Black Cats’, blast out all of the spot lights in the Japanese cargo convoy. (Solo only)
In the mission ‘Black Cats’, shoot the 6 lights on the merchant ships ( 2 on each ship, one at each end ). They go out with a couple bullets.
Rough Economy
Kill 3 enemies with a single round.
In the mission ‘Vendetta’, after you take out the first 5 soldiers (and the dog), more should come walking in. Three of them should line up – snipe them.
Guardian Angel
In the final battle for Okinawa, save Sergeant Roebuck.
In the mission ‘Breaking Point’, when you are entering the final part, you will see three Japanese soldiers with their hands up. Your team will run up to them. Keep your eye on the one to the right, Sgt. Roebuck will go to him and they will grab their weapons. One person will die, Polonsky or Sgt. Roebuck. Save the Sergeant to unlock this trophy by shooting the Japanese soldier in time.
Close Shave
Survive a banzai attack. (Solo only)
You will unlock this one by pressing R3 when a soldier is about to stab you with a bayonet.
Snake in the Grass
Take out a Japanese soldier lying in wait in the grass.
In the mission ‘Hard Landing’, when you get to the part where there are some tall trees and nothing else, there will be Japanese troops lying in the grass. Shoot the ground until you kill one to get this trophy.

A fun trophy – Grab mortars in ‘Breaking Point’ and throw them at the mortar pits to get this. Try not to hit your own troops or the mission will end.
Shot in the Dark
Kill 10 enemies while the lights are out in the subway in ‘Eviction’.

Play a couple of online Co-Op Competitive rounds and you should get this. Try to use the knife and get headshots. Try to revive people and not die much, you will get bonus XP at the end of the round. Make sure no one leaves during the round as you need to have 4 people to get this trophy.

In the mission ‘Vendetta’ you need to get some collateral damages. The two people beside the car can be killed with one bullet along with the people by the steps of the building. Use two bullets to kill the guys on the left. Then a guy should come and inspect the dead body. You can snipe the soldier and his dog easily when he turns his head behind the soldier, or you can snipe the soldier and knife the dog when he runs at you. Both will work to unlock this trophy.
Gunslinger
Assassinate General Amsel with a pistol shot. (Solo only)
This is a difficult trophy to achieve. Earlier on in the level where you snipe the guy in the window, in that same room there is a pistol on the table, take it. There are some different ways to get this trophy. Once you see a car come in from the left, snipe the driver and Amsel will start to run to the right. Take out the pistol and shoot at him the best you can. There is an exploding barrel near the car that could help if you can hit it at the right time.
