Hold the grab button on an enemy, do not just tap it: the long press gives the animation where you push them backward.

Only possible in sections with taser enemies. Keep the taser enemy and one other alive. When the taser is aimed you see a bright blue line: grab the other enemy by holding the button and charge straight at the taser enemy, staying inside that line so he fires while you push. Tapping does not work reliably; holding does.

The spot: Chapter 8, checkpoint 5, the laundry. Enemies wearing a holster and bullet-proof vest carry tasers; fight for half a minute and they start aiming them at you.

There are 10 postcards, the shortest of the five collectible types. There are 92 in total and they are only tracked by type, not by chapter, by pressing the touchpad, which is unavailable in some story sections. Chapter select recovers any of them.

The warning that applies to all five collectible trophies: they unlock 30-90 seconds late and there are cases where they never do. Make a cloud backup before grabbing the last postcard; if it does not pop, download the backup, disconnect the console and pick it up again.

That is all 92: 36 cards, 23 MI6 files, 14 mementos, 10 postcards and 9 legacy items. Curiously, twice as many people have it as any of the five partial trophies: some have seen it pop early, with half the set collected. The bugs run both ways.

No

13.90% of players

XP comes from Escalations, Operations and Challenges. The quick route is to do the other three TacSim trophies first; if you are still not level 3, replay the short Escalations doing their Challenges, which pay a lot of XP.

It is the most troublesome trophy on the list: some players had it pop with a long delay, others on reaching level 4, and others still lack it at level 5. If it does not appear at 3, gain another level and keep playing; it seems to depend on a server-side check.

«Beat tier 3 of an Escalation in TacSim» · The readiness is all

Beat tier 3 of an Escalation in TacSim. 21.9% have it, one of the three golds. Online trophy.

Category

3.40% of players

It is an easy platinum: half the list is automatic story trophies, nothing is missable, there is chapter select and difficulty does not matter — the lowest, Novice, is fine. The work is the 92 collectibles and four TacSim trophies, which require a connection.

The 3.4% does not measure difficulty: it measures that collectible trophies unlock late and sometimes not at all. Make a cloud backup before the last collectible of each type and, if it does not pop, playing offline helps. Around 20 hours.
