Kill 50 enemies with throwing weapons such as throwing knives, axes, or similar ranged utility weapons. You can craft throwing weapons yourself, but the easiest farming method is through Buckshot’s Power Challenge in the Tower in the Slums. First complete his initial challenge, which requires killing infected with a bat. After that, leave and complete another challenge or side quest until his next challenge becomes available. Return to Buckshot when the marker reappears. His second challenge gives you an unlimited supply of throwing stars and requires you to kill infected with them. You can deliberately fail the challenge and retry it as many times as needed, making this a very easy way to grind out the full 50 kills.

Tip

Purposefully fail Buckshot’s throwing challenge after getting your kills so you can restart it and keep farming with the free throwing stars. Much better than burning through your own crafting supplies.

Stick a burning zombie onto a spike trap. Spike traps are found throughout both the Slums and Old Town. The easiest method is to set an infected on fire, then use Grapple Throw to hurl it directly onto the spikes. Molotovs work well for the fire part, but be careful because they can kill weaker infected before you get the chance to throw them.

Tip

Use a tougher infected if you are using a Molotov, then line yourself up with the spike trap before throwing. Nothing says fine dining in Harran like zombie barbecue.

Unlock Details

Blind 25 different Volatiles using UV light. Volatiles only appear at night, and the UV light has to actually stop them in their tracks and make them shield their eyes for the blind to count. The UV flashlight is the easiest method. Go out at night, find Volatiles, shine the UV flashlight directly at them until they react, then move on to the next one.

Tip

Focus on different Volatiles instead of repeatedly flashing the same one. Once they stop and shield their eyes, you have the reaction you need, so get moving before the rest of the night decides to chase you.

Unlock Details

Catch 5 Bolters. Bolters are introduced fairly early in the story and only appear at night. They are easy to identify because they will immediately run from you, and their locations can be tracked on the map at any time of day. Bolters are usually guarded by Volatiles, so rushing in without a plan can turn a quick kill into a very bad night. The safest method is to unlock the Camouflage skill and use it before approaching. The upgraded version is even better because you can attack infected without instantly breaking camouflage.

Tip

Use camouflage before going after a Bolter, then kill it quickly and get out before the nearby Volatiles decide you are tonight's special.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies in a row without taking any damage. The source recommends pairing this with Harran Shooting Club, since there is an easy method that can help you earn both trophies together.

Tip

If you are planning to go for Harran Shooting Club anyway, save this one for the same setup and knock out both trophies at once.

Unlock Details

Catch 25 enemies in Electric Fence traps. The easiest method is the same one used for Everybody Dance Now. Throw Firecrackers near an electric fence to gather a group of infected, then activate the trap once they are packed into the electrified area.

Tip

The larger electric fence traps in the Slums are especially useful because they cover more ground and make it easier to catch several infected at once.

Unlock Details

Blind 25 enemies using Light Traps. This can only be done at night, and the traps can be easy to overlook in the dark. The easiest method is to find a Light Trap in the Slums near a Safe Zone. Sleep until night, head to the trap, then fire a gun to attract Virals and Volatiles. Once a group gathers, run underneath the trap and activate it. After the effect ends, return to the Safe Zone and sleep twice to cycle back to a fresh night with new infected, then repeat.

Tip

Use a Light Trap close to a Safe Zone so you can reset the area quickly. It turns this from a messy night chase into a controlled little zombie light show.

Unlock Details

Shock 5 infected with electricity at the same time. The easiest method is to use an electric fence trap. Throw Firecrackers near the trap to gather at least 5 infected into the electrified area, then activate the trap once they are packed together. You need the ability to use electric fence traps from the Survival skill tree. The larger electric fence traps in the Slums are especially useful because they cover more ground, so you do not have to bunch the infected together quite as tightly.

Tip

This is also a good opportunity to work toward Electrified! at the same time. Use Firecrackers to do the crowd control for you, then let the fence handle the rest.

Unlock Details

Kill 50 enemies with firearms. Guns become easier to find later in the story, especially from Rais’s men and police vehicles, but Power Challenges are the easiest way to knock this out early. Some challenges give you firearms with unlimited ammo, which makes this much easier than burning through your own supplies. It is also a great setup for Can’t Touch This because most infected cannot hit you from range while you are shooting them.

Tip

Use a gun-based Power Challenge and work on Can’t Touch This at the same time. Infinite ammo plus distance from the infected makes both trophies much easier.

Unlock Details

Kill 25 enemies using either Ground Pound or Drop Attack. Both skills are found in the Power skill tree. Ground Pound requires a heavy weapon, while Drop Attack uses lighter weapons. Drop Attack is the easier option because Ground Pound does not always finish the enemy. Jump from cars, rooftops, or use Vault to get enough height, then perform the attack from above.

Tip

If you want the cleaner method, stick with Drop Attack. It is more reliable and saves you from repeatedly flattening zombies that somehow decide they are still not dead.

Unlock Details

Kill your first Infected. That is it. Find a zombie, put it down, and welcome to Dying Light.

Unlock Details

Kill an enemy with a Pipe Wrench by using Vault on one infected, then following immediately with a Drop Attack onto another. Vault is unlocked in the Agility tree, while Drop Attack comes from the Power tree. For the setup, vault over the first infected, then hold R2 while dropping onto a second enemy with the Pipe Wrench equipped. It sounds a little fussy, but once both skills are unlocked, the actual move is pretty simple.

Tip

Keep one of the early Pipe Wrenches you find, especially the one from the duffle bag near the bed in Safe Houses. They become much harder to find later. If you already finished the game and need one, there is a Pipe Wrench in the school basement in the western Slums.

Warning

This trophy can be buggy. The Pipe Wrench appears to work most reliably at full durability, so if the trophy refuses to pop, wear the wrench down until it can be repaired, repair it back to full, then try the Vault into Drop Attack kill again.

Unlock Details

Throw enemies 50 times using the Grapple skill from the Agility skill tree. Hold the left stick in any direction except forward and press Cross at the right moment to perform the throw. Grapple works on basic infected, Virals, and human enemies. You do not need 50 different enemies, so the same targets can be thrown multiple times as long as you keep getting valid grapples.

Tip

Start using Grapple naturally as soon as you unlock it. Fifty sounds like a lot, but it disappears quickly if you make tossing zombies around part of your normal combat style.

Unlock Details

Kill a Volatile. These are the fast, extremely dangerous infected that come out at night, so doing this early can be rough. If you want the easier early-game method, lure one into an electric fence trap, which can kill a Volatile in a single hit. Otherwise, wait until your Survival level is higher and you have stronger weapons that can drop them in just a couple of hits.

Tip

There is no prize for making this harder than it needs to be. If your gear is still weak, use a trap and let Harran's electrical grid do the heavy lifting.

Unlock Details

Survive a night pursuit at level 2 or higher. Your current pursuit level is shown by the diamond icons on the left side of the mini-map. A pursuit increases as you draw more attention, including attracting more infected or killing Virals. One easy opportunity comes when Volatiles are first introduced, since you are already being chased. Another good opportunity is while working on A Long Way Down at the bridge. If your pursuit is still only level 1, kill nearby Virals until it reaches level 2, then escape or survive the chase.

Tip

Pair this with A Long Way Down if you have not earned either trophy yet. One terrifying sprint through the night can save you from doing two separate terrifying sprints later.
