Cover Story

If you find yourself facing off against fortified enemies, remember that you can even the playing field by eliminating their cover. You can also destroy their footing, which could cause them to fall and take damage while also enduring the harm caused by the initial explosion. It's an especially good strategy when applied to nasty turrets.

Easy "Brutal Collection" trophy

Use Skulljack on the four different ADVENT soldier types listed below to get the "Brutal Collection" trophy. The hacking outcome does not matter.

Officer (the red unit). This is story related.
Stun Lancer (unit with the sword)
Shieldbearer (unit with white armor)
Trooper

Easy "Heavy Metal" trophy

Research the EXO and War Suits from the Proving Grounds to be able to research Experimental Heavy Weapons and Experimental Powered weapons, respectively. Do this enough times to obtain one of each type of the following weapons:

Heavy Weapons (requires EXO Suit)

Flamethrower
Rocket Launcher (unlocked EXO Suit is researched)
Shredder Gun

Powered Weapons (requires EXO or WAR Suit)

Blaster Launcher
Hellfire Projector
Plasma Blaster
Shredstorm Cannon

After obtaining the required weapons, equip your soldiers with W.A.R armor. Give each of them a different heavy or powered weapon. Start a mission with Advent soldier enemies. Get into position, then save the game. Kill an Advent soldier with one of the weapons, reload the saved game, then kill the same enemy with another type of weapon. Repeat this process until all the weapons were used to kill an enemy to get the "Heavy Metal" trophy.

Easy "Heroes Of The Resistance" trophy

To do this without losing your entire squad, focus on killing enemies as quickly as possible instead of rescuing the civilians one-by-one. Also, try drawing the enemies attention to have them attack you instead of the civilians.

Easy "Now Am I Become Death" trophy

Use the "Faceoff" Sharpshooter ability to fire at every visible target in range using the pistol. If there are at least three wounded or weak enemies in range, use that ability. This can also be done with the Ranger's "Reaper" ability. Kill an enemy with the sword to get another action so you can kill another enemy. Repeat the process in a chain.
