Rolling Gunner Trophy Guide

You are the last star of hope
Got all trophies.

Congratulations! Thanks for looking at our guide.

You are the true ace!
Expert Mode Clear.

Thankfully, due to infinite continues, this trophy is easier than it sounds. Just play through the game after selecting the Expert difficulty. It is recommended to play Overkill mode and selecting the bottom/yellow RF-42RA ship.

Scorer candidate
Obtained 100 oversized score items by releasing the limiter once

While using the Max Limiter, collect 100 items from the larger damaged enemies during one use of the limiter. The oversized score item looks like a bird with a star in the middle, like the trophy icon. Much easier during the later levels, as there are many more larger enemies on the screen at one time. Will probably come naturally and can be done on the easier difficulty settings.

Master of Mobile Fortress BAC
Clear Stage 6 with no mistakes

Clearing the stage without missing a single enemy will pop this trophy and give a “No Miss” score bonus during the Mission Complete stats screen. Rotate the Rolling Gunner often to hit all surrounding enemies and use a bomb or the Limiter when available.

Beyond the limits and become a king!
Use limiter release 3 times in Stage 1.

Collect the items from the enemies as you damage them, this will fill up the outer gauge. See the bottom left corner of the screen, once it reaches 1000 you will see a glow appear around the ship, press R2 to use the Limiter, continue collecting items to fill the limit/inner gauge, press R2 again once the inner gauge is full (Max Limiter) or just before the outer gauge runs out. Do this three times during Stage 1 for this trophy. It is possible to use the Limiter twice during the boss fight.

Courageous action
The boss activated the limiter release at the maximum limit gauge and did not hit until the end

It is recommended to attempt this trophy on the stage 1 boss of the Original Mode and using the bottom/yellow ship RF-42RA. It may take a few attempts, if you fail then just restart the stage. Collect the items from the enemies as you damage them during the stage to fill up the outer gauge. See the bottom left corner of the screen, once it reaches 1000 you will see a glow appear around the ship and the limiter is ready to use. Once you reach the boss, position the ship at the bottom left of the boss and press R2 to use the Limiter, continue collecting items to fill the limit/inner gauge, press R2 again once the inner gauge is full (Max Limiter). Stop shooting and do not get hit. Safest place is the far left middle of the screen. Once the inner gauge has ran out, kill the boss. The trophy will pop during the Mission Complete score stats screen. See video for further guidance.

This is the mountain of medals that we have built!
Reached a cumulative total of 5,000,000,000 points.

At the time of writing this trophy is either glitchy or is different to the 2.5 billion trophy, which has to be done in one sitting, and this trophy just means 5 billion earned over multiple playthroughs.

Score fever!
Reached 100,000,000 points in one play

The points required for this trophy need to be earned during 1 set of lives/continue as dying to the point of having to use a continue will reset the score counter. This trophy will probably come naturally and certainly will pop while going for the higher score trophies. It is recommended to play Overkill on the easiest setting, using the Max Limiter as often as possible.

Defeated the Bastalium Core.

Playing Overkill version on the Novice setting is recommended. Other trophies may pop while going for this trophy such as the score trophies and other misc ones. There is another trophy, for repeating the requirements for this trophy, but for getting Game Over during the boss fight.

Buster Energy fully open!
Raised the bonus counter to 10000

Items are collected from damaged enemies that make the Limiter’s outer gauge fill up, the amount collected is displayed at the bottom left of the screen. When the counter reaches 1000 the limiter is ready to use. Press R2 to activate the outer limiter and continue collecting items to increase the counter. Press R2 again before it runs out to activate the inner gauge Limiter. Collecting 10,000 will pop this trophy. Easier to obtain during the later levels due to larger enemies and more enemies on screen, giving off more items. Can also be earned during a boss fight like shown in the screenshot.

First-class medal of the galaxy
Obtained 100 or more oversized score items in the result

While using the Max Limiter, collect at least 100 items from damaging the larger enemies during one stage. The oversized score item looks like a bird with a star in the middle, like the trophy icon.

Nice bomb!
I lost my ship without activating Auto Bomb.

During the original game mode, use up all your bombs yourself, meaning don’t get hit because doing so will automatically activate a bomb, and then allow yourself to die. At the time of writing this trophy is glitchy and can take many attempts to pop.

Welcome to hell

Look at my great points
Registered the score on the leaderboard.

At the time of writing this trophy seems a bit glitchy. Each time you finish a playthrough, either by Game over or completion, the leaderboard will be displayed with your new score on it, hopefully popping this trophy. Many playthroughs are required so there are many chances for it to pop.

I wonder if this could happen
Obtained 1UP item.

This can only be earned on Stage 4 during Original Mode. After the section where the screen descends a large tank will appear on the right and then shortly after one on the left. Kill both of these without using a bomb for the 1up item to appear. It is advised to use up all your bombs before reaching this section as getting hit will automatically activate one. Maybe practice it in training mode although many playthroughs of the game are required so there are many chances. It is ok to die and ok to use the Limiter. See the video for reference, taken during training mode, which will not pop the trophy.

I’ll show you my power!

The world that turns around turns around
Rolling gun made 100 laps.

This trophy refers to the drone type gun that is attached to your ship. In Overkill mode you can control it like a twin stick shooter, whereas in the Original Mode it follows behind the ship in the direction the ship is flying, and can be locked into position by holding the square button. Allowing the Rolling Gun to rotate 360 degrees around the ship 100 times will pop this trophy. Very easy to achieve across all playthroughs required and will probably come naturally.
