Fans of platinum hunting are in for a real challenge. A leaked list of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 trophies revealed that platinum in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will require serious preparation.
The trophy list for the PS5 version is almost identical to the PS3 edition. Among the requirements is earning the extremely difficult Big Boss rank: complete the game on the maximum difficulty, Boss Extreme, without deaths, alerts, or kills, without using health recovery items, stealth suit, or bandana. The campaign must also be completed in under five hours.
PSNProfiles rates the difficulty of platinum at 8/10 and suggests up to eight playthroughs. In Metal Gear Solid 4, the emblem system depends on the playstyle, so a complete collection will require careful planning for each campaign.
In Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the situation is simpler: platinum can theoretically be obtained in one playthrough, but it will take about 70 hours. Both games will also receive an additional trophy for reading all bonus scenario pages.
