Heavy Weapons (requires EXO Suit)
- 2x the graphic processing power of Quest 2 with the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2

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.
