Welcome to the Strange Brigade Trophy Guide. The strange brigade has 4 DLC’s, being:

You can select the Trophy Guides for the DLC’s in the slider below.
[masterslider id=”2″]Stage 1: Complete the game for fun
It’s strongly recommended that you play this game with at least one friend, as there are a few online trophies that will require you to play with one other player. The game has no local co-op mode.
In your first play through, you should focus on:
- Having fun, it’s truly a great game
- Collecting gold
- Killing enemies
- Reviving friends and being revived by friends
The game features 4 difficulties, with those being:
- Easy
- Normal
- Hard
- Extreme
There is a DLC trophy for completing the game on Extreme. Completing it on extreme is not needed for the platinum trophy on the base game.
Stage 2: Find all collectibles
Stage 2 is heavily based on finding the collectibles. Since the game revolves around finding treasures, you will have to find a large number of collectibles. Collectibles are divided into four categories, those are:
- For Hooked on a Feline, you will need to collect all the Cat Idols.
- For When is a door not a door, you will need to shoot all Jars.
- For To preserve the past is to save the future, you will need to collect all the Relics.
- For Purloined Letters, you will need to collect all Magazines/Letters.
Stage 3: Clean up
For the third stage, you will have to clean up a lot of trophies. The most time consuming trophy to earn will be “Master of the Armoury”. Throughout this stage, you will need to buy all weapons. In order to purchase all of the weapons, you will need a total of 232,160 gold. You will not be able to earn that much gold in a single playthrough. You will need to reply a lot of levels in order to obtain the required amount of gold, which is why it would be best to initially play through the game solely for fun.
Stage 4: Horde
For the last stage, you will need to play Horde. Horde is a special game mode, which requires you to survive relentless waves of enemies.
- Caverns
- Village
- Garden
- Excavation
Additional maps will be added in the future, but those will not be mentioned in this guide. These trophies can also be earned on the new maps.
You will earn three trophies during this stage, those are:
- For Back from the Mouth of hell, you will need to beat Wave 15 of Round 1.
- For Evasive Action, you will need to get to Wave 4 without taking damage.
- For Pay the Piper, you will need to unlock a golden door in Horde.
