It’s about that time. Uncharted 4 has been out for about a week so now we’re due for a torrent of exploits and resulting patches. For the trophy hunters out there, there’s a glitch that has yet to be patched that will help you score two of the more challenging trophies in the game: the speedrunner trophy, which you unlock for completing the game in 6 hours or less, and the sharpshooter trophy, which you unlock by completing the game with an accuracy of 70% or greater. The glitch was originally reported by Reddit user “Awestamisticman,” with more elaborate instructions for both trophies spelled out by “A_Imma,” who I’ll quote for instructions below:
“Beat the game first (obviously)
Make sure that you only have one saved game for Uncharted 4. If you’re working on other saves (e.g. half way through a Crushing run) that’s fine – just upload the saves you want to keep to cloud storage, then delete them from your SYSTEM storage (you can re-download them from the cloud later.)
Make sure the save you last loaded is the save you beat the game on (should be your only save now)
Start a new game on a new save file, and select yes when carrying over stats and treasures. Make sure the difficulty for this new save is the same difficulty you beat the game on.
As soon as the quote is shown at the start and the actual cutscene starts playing, quit to the main menu of the game.
Go to chapter select and it should let you choose the epilogue. Once again pick the same difficulty that you’ve been picking before and OVERWRITE the save that you just made for the new game.
Play the epilogue, you can just die a bunch on the retro game and then go straight to the house. You can also skip the cutscene right at the end. The trophy should pop as soon as the Naughty Dog logo comes up at the end.
Re-download your saves from the cloud if necessary.
Edit : This worked for the accuracy trophy :
Back up all saves
Delete all saves except for profile and the save you beat game on
Star a new game making a new save
Start the Prologue then quit after few seconds.
Load the Epilogue then the system always will ask you to make a save (always for me ). Then press O and it will say ……Start this chapter without saving? Press YES. Then quit after few seconds.
Now go to Encounter select and select a place to start the game. When you press option you should see some additional options such as save game, load game.
Get 70 act and save it, then quit. So you will keep this stat.”
And that’s that! If these are two trophies you’re lacking you may want to take advantage of this glitch as soon as you can; chances are Naughty Dog will be patching this up very soon.
