Killzone 2 Cheats, Codes, Hints, Tips

Hint: Easy Flamethrower Junkie and Boltgun Junkie Trophy

Select "Play," and select "Create Game," then select the Suljeva Cliffside map. Choose Body Count for match type, set the Kill limit to 25 (this gives a 5 kill cushion to recover the flamethrower if you are killed by the bot), match time to 30 minutes, and set max players to 2. Place 1 A.I. BOT on the Helghast faction, set bot difficulty to RECRUIT.

Start the game and torch the bot 20x. Repeat the exact same steps for the Boltgun Junkie trophy on Arctower Landing. (Note: Using A.I. BOTS is also an easy way to acquire the Suljeva/Arctower Conqueror and Suljeva/Arctower Killer trophies.)

Hint: Easy "Engineer" Trophy for all New Maps (online multiplayer)

Choose 'Play,' then 'Create Game.' Choose the map you need the Trophy for and start the game. Before any other players join, run through the map and repair 5 objects and you'll get a Trophy. Quit the game and repeat this for all the remaining maps that you need the trophy for.

Hint: Easy Safety First Trophy

The Safety First Trophy requires you to shoot off 100 Helghast helmets, but the Helghast need not be alive. Shoot helmets off fallen soldiers to get the Trophy quickly.
