Introduction:
Welcome to the Zombie Army 4: Dead War Trophy Guide! Hitler’s Hordes are back! Follow this guide to help you slay his zombies and earn your platinum trophy.
Roadmap:
Step 1: Complete the Game on Easy / Find all Collectibles
During this step your main focus will be completing all of the chapters / missions in the game as well as gathering all of the collectibles. There are 9 campaign missions you will have to play. It is recommended to play them all on easy first to gain some XP that will help you with your hard run, as well as get the collectibles and weapon upgrades along the way.
Each of the 9 missions will have collectibles in each chapter as well as one heroic action somewhere in the mission that will need to be completed. If you want more information on each chapter, you can view the respective trophies below. There is also a video guide for each of the collectibles under the respective chapters, and a text guide located on the collectible specific trophies.
After completing the campaign mode on easy and finding all of the collectibles in the game, you are ready for step 2.
During this step you’ll earn these trophies:
Choo Choo! The Boat can Leave Now.. Tell the Crew Weird Science Look Mummy! A Shark! In the Dark Dark Woods… All of This Happened Before… All Roads Lead to Rome You’re all Going to Die Down Here He did Nazi That Coming Blood Splattered Gold Hoarder Send me an Angel Gotcha, Didn’t I? Groovy Is it Over? Say goodbye, creep! Zombie Killin’ Machine Leave the Limbs You’ve Lost
Step 2: Complete the Game on Hard / Complete Each Mission with 4 Players
During this step you will be completing the game on hard as well as completing each mission with a full team of 4 players. You can of course do these trophies the legit and normal way, or you can do the “mission snipe” option. You do this by browsing multiplayer games and looking for people playing the mission on hard, or groups that have 3/4 members in them.
You can join someone at the very end of the mission on the final chapter, and still complete them that way. Alternatively you can also host missions on the final chapter of each mission on hard difficulty and complete the missions that way. This is the quickest way to achieve these trophies, and there is no hassle in trying to find a full group of players.
For more information on how to earn these trophies, you can view the respective trophies in the guide below. After completing the game on hard as well as completing each mission with a full group of 4 players, you are ready for step 3.
During this step you’ll earn these trophies:
Gore Soaked This is no Sunday School Picnic! That’s a lot of them, and only 4 of us
Step 3: Horde Mode
Horde mode is the other main mode in the game aside from the campaign. You will need to get to wave 12 of each of the 4 playable maps as well as escape to get their respective trophies. You will also need to get to wave 6 by only using your starting pistol, as well as survive 20 waves on a single map for another trophy.
You will also need to survive a total of 144 waves to unlock another trophy in this mode. For more information on horde mode and how to earn each of the Horde related trophies, you can view them in the trophy guide provided below. After this step, you are ready for the final step of the trophy guide.
During this step you’ll earn the following trophies:
Into the Deep Take a Little bit of Italy with you I told you we should have gone to the beach Not today you won’t Just me and my Trusty Sidearm I’m a Survivor! A gross gross
Step 4: Miscellaneous / Clean Up + Platinum
This step may not be necessary, as you might unlock these during one of the previous 3 steps. This step is simply used to clean up any of the combat or miscellaneous trophies that you might not have earned yet.
During this step you’ll earn the following trophies: (I’ve listed the trophies that may not come naturally in steps 1-3:

Into the darkness is one of four playable horde maps. Horde is a mode where you will be put in the map of your choice with limited supplies and weapons scattered throughout the map.

You must complete waves 1-12 from start to finish and then escape for the trophy to unlock. You can also host games online and hope people might join you before or even during your run to help you out. If hosting a game online you can set the amount of zombies to “1 player” so that you can potentially have 4 players in a game with only an amount of zombies suitable for if you were alone. This will make things much easier.
After you complete 12 waves you have the option to continue to stay and complete more waves, or run to the exit and escape. To get this trophy simply run to the exit and escape so that you dont risk staying longer and die. Once you run through the exit you will trigger the rewards screen and earn the trophy if you completed waves 1-12.

 Just me and my trusty sidearm Reach wave 6 on any Horde Map without picking up a Primary or Secondary weapon. |
This trophy is unlocked after reaching wave 6 on any horde map without picking up a primary or secondary weapon.
It has been reported that picking up grenades and even medkits out of supply crates will also lock you out of this trophy so it is best to just stick to your starting pistol as well as ammo crates to fill up on ammo when you run out. The easiest map to earn this on is the very first one. You are also not able to join a game in progress and earn this trophy. You must play waves 1-5 with only your pistol.
You can also bring a friend with you or just host a game and hope that someone joins you. Just remember to change the zombie count to “1 player” so there isnt too many zombies. If other players join you, they can use any weapons they please. As long as you stick to your pistol, you will unlock this trophy.
You can also use your takedowns and special melee abilities without locking you out of the trophy. You also do not need to escape. If you went through the first 5 waves while only using your pistol and not picking up any other weapons, you will unlock this trophy at the start of wave 6.
 I’m a survivor! Complete 20 waves in a row on any Horde Map. |

This trophy can only be earned in the horde mode. During the horde mode you will be tasked in surviving waves of zombies with limited supplies scattered throughout the map. You are unable to customize the weapons in your loadout, and be forced to play with what is granted to you on any of the 4 horde maps.
Each time you defeat all of the zombies in a wave, a new wave will start. After surviving 12 waves you will have the option to escape or continue playing to complete more waves. Instead of escaping, you must stick around and fend off zombies until you complete the 20th wave of zombies. The easiest map to earn this trophy on is the very first one.
Unlike the campaign trophies, you can not simply join someone on wave 20. You must complete waves 1-20 from start to finish to unlock this trophy. Just continue to play and get supply drops to stock up on gear to help find off the waves. You can also host a game from wave 1 and set the amount of zombies to “1 Player”. This will make things easy if people decide to join you. The game will keep the zombie count to as if you were still on your own.
You do not need to escape to get this trophy. Simply surviving 20 consecutive waves is all you need. After successfully completing 20 consecutive waves on any horde map, you will unlock this trophy.
 A gross gross Survive 144 Waves in total. |
This trophy is earned after you have successfully survived a total of 144 waves.
This trophy can only be earned in the horde mode. During the horde mode you will be tasked in surviving waves of zombies with limited supplies scattered throughout the map. You are unable to customize the weapons in your loadout, and be forced to play with what is granted to you on any of the 4 horde maps.
Each time you defeat all of the zombies in a wave, a new wave will start and it will add to your total amount of waves completed. After surviving 12 waves you will have the option to escape or continue playing to complete more waves. Although it might be fun to stay and play, it is quicker to just escape and restart from wave 1 to start getting more waves quicker and easier.
If you have already gotten all 4 trophies for getting to wave 12 and escaping on each of them, then you can grind out your remaining waves on the first map as it is the quickest and easiest. All of your waves are accumulative and will add to your total whether you play offline or online, or a combination of the two.
After successfully surviving a total of 144 waves, you will unlock this trophy.
 Blood splattered Reach Rank 5. |
This trophy is unlocked after reaching Rank 5.
For more information on how to rank / level up, please view the Hail to the King, Baby! trophy.
 Gore soaked Reach Rank 50. |
This trophy is unlocked after reaching Rank 50.
For more information on how to rank / level up, please view the Hail to the King, Baby! trophy.
 Hail to the king, baby! Reach Rank 100. |
This trophy is unlocked once you reach rank 100.
You gain XP by completing chapters, killing zombies, playing the horde mode, and even playing the weekly challenge events. You gain XP by doing just about anything in the game. By the time you complete the game for the first time, you will already be between ranks 30-40. Depending on how you play to complete hard mode and in a full group for each mission, you will also gain even more XP.
You will also have to play each of the horde maps which will grant you even more XP. By the time you earn all of the other trophies in the game, you will be very close to earning this trophy if you haven’t already. If you still need to farm XP after earning all of the other trophies, or just want to farm levels to make your journey a tad easier, there are plenty of quick XP methods you can use.
The fastest way to currently level up will net you around 250,000+ XP per hour which is a huge amount. To put it in perspective, you only get 3,000-5,000 XP each time you complete a chapter. For this method, you will need to head to horde mode. Here are the settings you will need to set your game to:
- Map – Into the Darkness
- Starting Checkpoint – Wave 1
- Difficulty – Hard
- Enemy Setup – Doesn’t Matter
Once the horde map starts, shoot at the explosive barrels scattered around to instantly kill yourself. Unlike the other horde maps, this one rewards you with 3,000 XP just for attempting it. So each time you die, you will net yourself 3,000 XP. Once you get to the XP awarded tab you can simply hit the retry option to rinse and repeat. Each attempt will take you around 30 seconds or so to complete.
You can rinse and repeat this for as long as you would like until you have either reached rank 100, or a rank you are satisfied with to continue playing the game normally. If you do not want to farm XP this way, simply play through the Horde or Campaign missions to level up and you will eventually reach rank 100.
Once you have successfully reached rank 100, you will unlock this trophy.
 Gold Earn a Gold Medal on any chapter. |
This trophy is earned after achieving a gold medal on any chapter in the game.
Note that you only have to get gold on a single chapter, not the entire mission. Each time you enter a safe house, you will end the current chapter you are on. (If it is the final chapter, it will end upon completing the final task) Once the chapter ends, you will be brought to the rewards screen that shows you what your final score was, as well as how much XP you earned.
The gold medal is granted for reaching that specific chapters target score. There is a good chance you will get this trophy without even trying. You get score by killing zombies. You can also get a bigger score by killing zombies in unique ways, as well as keeping your multiplier alive for as long as possible to get a multiplier for your current score. The longer you can keep a combo, the easier it will be to get a gold medal.
Just play the game as you would normally, and you will likely get this trophy on one of the first chapters in mission 1. If you are still having trouble, you can unlock perks that will help you keep your multiplier alive longer, as well as start you with a bigger multiplier. You can also only earn this trophy during the campaign, as getting a gold medal in horde will not work for this trophy.
After finishing any chapter of the campaign with a gold medal, you will unlock this trophy.
 Well equipped Complete a level with 5 Gold Level Perks equipped. |
This trophy is unlocked after you have completed a level with 5 gold level perks equipped.
A gold level perk just means a perk that you have leveled up to level 3. You will get 4 of the perks to level 3 alone simply from gathering all of the collectibles in the game. A few of the other perks will get upgraded naturally through playing without you even noticing, while some others you may need to try for.
You can see your perks from the loadout screen. They will be split into either the Offensive, Defensive, or Other categories. You must first unlock level 1 of the perk by reaching the required level. Once you have unlocked the perk, you must do a task to get it to level 2 followed by another task to get it to level 3 or “gold”.
You must also be a high enough level so that you can equip a total of 5 perks at once. There are a total of 36 perks in the game, and you only need to get 5 of them to level 3 to get this trophy. Once you have 5 gold perks, go to your loadout and equip them. Once they are equipped you can simply play the last chapter of any mission with them equipped to get this trophy.
Once you have successfully completed any mission with 5 gold perks, you will unlock this trophy.

 Hoarder Find all Journals, Comics, and hidden Weapon Upgrade Tokens. |
This trophy is unlocked after finding all of the Journals, comics, and hidden weapon upgrade tokens in the game.
Journals and comics are just like collectibles in any other game. They will be scattered across the main campaign and can simply be picked up once they have been found. Weapon Upgrade tokens once found, can be used to upgrade your weapons in the game.
You can see how many of these items you have collected or which ones you have missed by going to chapter select. It will tell you whether or not you have collected the items for each of the respective chapters. This makes cleaning up your collectibles much easier, as you can go right to where you need to be to gather any remaining collectibles you might need.
Most of the chapters in the game will usually contain 1 of each type of collectible, as well as each mission containing 1 heroic action. If you missed any of these collectibles during your first playthrough, simply clean them up in chapter select. Also note that the weapon upgrades you get from leveling up do not count towards this trophy, only the ones you need to find are needed. If you are playing in a co-op game, you will get any collectibles that your teammate picks up as well.
If you are looking for a video guide that shows all of the collectible locations in the game, I have linked a video guide under each story related chapter for their respective collectibles. For a very detailed text guide on where you can find all of the collectibles in the game, please view the guide: HERE!

 Send me an angel Perform all Heroic Actions. |
This trophy is unlocked after performing all heroic actions.
Heroic actions will take place in each of the 9 missions of the campaign. Each mission will contain 1 heroic action that take place during one of their chapters. Most are fairly quick / easy and only require you to fend off a few zombies before they kill an NPC. If the zombies end up killing the NPC you can simply restart the checkpoint to try again.
You can see how many heroic actions you have done or which ones you have missed by going to chapter select. It will tell you whether or not you have done the heroic action for each of the respective missions. This makes cleaning up your collectibles much easier, as you can go right to where you need to be to gather any remaining collectibles / actions you might need. If you are playing in a co-op game, you will get any collectibles that your teammate picks up as well. This includes Heroic actions.
Most of the chapters in the game will usually contain 1 of each type of collectible, as well as each mission containing 1 heroic action. If you missed any heroic actions during your first playthrough, simply clean them up in chapter select. Most heroic actions will also reward you with items you can’t get anywhere else, and some even lead to other collectibles.

 Gotcha, didn’t I? Kill all Zombie Hand collectibles. |
This trophy is unlocked after killing all of the zombie hand collectibles.
Zombie hand collectibles are the trickiest and most hidden collectible in the game. They are small and dark zombie hands that will either be running around an area back and forth, blending in with items, or a combination of the two as well as far off in the distance.
To collect a zombie hand you must shoot at it to kill it. One shot with any weapon will kill the zombie hand and add it to your collection. You can see how many zombie hands you have collected or which ones you have missed by going to chapter select. It will tell you whether or not you have earned the zombie hand for each of the respective chapters. This makes cleaning up your collectibles much easier, as you can go right to where you need to be to gather any remaining collectibles you might need.
Most of the chapters in the game will usually contain 1 of each type of collectible, as well as each mission containing 1 heroic action. If you missed any zombie hands during your first playthrough, simply clean them up in chapter select. Some are very hard to see / find but not too bad if you are following a collectible guide. If you are playing in a co-op game, you will get any collectibles that your teammate picks up as well. This includes zombie hands.

To stop it from resurrecting, simply shoot at it to finish it off. This is easiest done on the very first mission of the game. Simply play the mission from start to finish as you would normally. To make it easier, you can run past all of the zombies where you are not required to kill them to progress. This makes it impossible for zombies to resurrect. In the areas where you are required to kill zombies, simply play close attention to the ones on the ground. If one starts to resurrect, shoot at it so it stops.

This trophy is unlocked after you have successfully killed 50 zombies without missing a shot.
The easiest way to achieve this trophy is by using one of the shotguns in the game during any of the points where the game requires you to survive a hoard of zombies. There will be many points in the game where you will have to defeat way more than 50 zombies to move onto the next area.
The shotgun is the easiest weapon to use do to the fact that the bullet spread is very generous, and the weapon itself will one-shot kill most zombies whether it is upgraded or not. Each shot does not need to kill a zombie, it just needs to at least come in contact with one or more of them. It is also likely that you will kill more than one zombie with every shot you take. A good way to tell how many you have currently killed is by the counter displayed on the right hand side of the screen.
Each zombie you kill will add to the overall counter. If the counter stays alive, then you will get this trophy when the counter hits 50 if you do not miss a shot. The counter also does not need to stay alive, it just serves as a good indicator. As soon as you kill your 50th zombie without missing a single shot, you will unlock this trophy. You can also earn this trophy in any mode, and are not limited to just the campaign mode.
