Terminator: Resistance Trophy Guide & Roadmap

You’ll earn this trophy early in the game when you first destroy a T-800 Terminator. You first run into these during the main mission “Hospitality”, though you shouldn’t try to fight them there as you can’t damage them with bullet weapons, just sneak past them. In the next mission “Into the Storm” you’ll be engaged by a large number of these enemies after meeting with other Resistance members, and here you will have to destroy a number of these enemies yourself after you’re given a Plasma Rifle.

Note that in “Hospitality” if you hack a turret and it destroys a T-800 this won’t actually award the trophy, you have to destroy one yourself.

After completing main quest “Into the Storm” and reaching the South Resistance Shelter you’ll have to speak to Alvin. He explains how you can upgrade Plasma type weapons using the chips you’ve looted off destroyed machines. Modify your given Plasma Rifle in any way and you will earn this trophy.

Head upstairs and deal with the two T-800s, then grab the radio off the table.

Now once you have completed this mission and return to the Resistance Shelter over to the workshop room again where Ryan is and the now working radio will be. Interact with it once to turn it on, then again to turn up the volume on it, which will annoy Alvin and pop this trophy.

During the main quest “Back to Pasadena” (Chapter 11 save) if you head East you will find an area where there is a locked door by itself in the middle of the area with a lockpick rating of Hard. You need to pick this door, even though it doesn’t go anywhere, to earn this trophy.  This is the only trophy that you really need to be watching for, as you need to reach this chapter with a lockpick skill of 3 or are able to upgrade your lockpick skill to that level during this mission before you leave.

In the “Quests” part of the menu they are listed under the “Side Quests” heading, and on your map they will be marked with the blue “Side Objective” diamonds. Be sure to talk to all NPCs in the main hideout areas and agree to help them when you can so that you gain access to as many side quests as possible.  If you have done all of the prior ones you can earn this during the main mission “Back to Pasadena” when you complete any of the ones that are available in that location.  There are around 20 side missions to complete throughout the game so many more than required for this trophy.

If you want to get this done as soon as possible, these are the locations of 10 notes early in the game that you are able to collect.

Note: See You Later
Main Quest: Rules of Survival, Hospitality, Into the Storm, Back to Pasadena (Located in First Hideout)
In the first hideout at the start of the game there is a garage door you can crouch under, then a locked door in this room with a lockpick level of Medium. In this room beside a TV you will find this note.

In the same building as the “Not a Toy” side quest objective, on the lower floor in the restaurant area.

Note: Creepy Lil’ Dolls
Main Quest: Rules of Survival
In the same building as the one main objective, in a room just West of the actual objective on a bed.

Note: Bird of Prey

In a Hideout building on the East side of the area, on the upper floor beside a skeleton.

Note: LA Pulse
Main Quest: Rules of Survival
In a building near the “Skynet Plasma Storage” side objective, on the second floor on a pool table.

Note: Departing Gift
Main Quest: Rules of Survival
Just North of the prior building there is a garage near a police car, inside on a table is this note.

Note: Fuck!
Main Quest: Hospitality
Just South of the first main objective marker there is a building where you’ll have a destructible wall marked. Close to this wall you’ll find this note on top of a barrel.

Note: Dead Maria
Main Quest: Hospitality
When you enter the hospital itself you’ll reach a laser door blocking one hallway, with a morgue beside it. In the morgue on a cart you’ll find this note.

Note: Prognosis
Main Quest: Hospitality
In the hospital area with the patrolling T-800s you can find a locked door at the end of a hallway with an Easy lockpick level. Inside this room is this note on the floor.

Note: Food for Thought
Main Quest: Into the Storm, Back to Pasadena (Located in First Hideout)
At the hideout when you return from the hospital, you can find this note on the table in the room with the pool table.

This is the first trophy you’ll earn in the game, after going through the initial area. You’ll be given some tutorial on stealth and combat, then at the end choose to either search for more survivors or not. After you’ll repel a few waves of spider and drone robots, then be taken to the hideout.

During the main mission “Hospitality” you’ll be heading into a hospital. Inside after you sneak past a number of T-800s you’ll find some soldiers stuck behind a laser grid, earning you this trophy.

During the main mission “Into the Storm” you’ll be heading to meet other Resistance members. You’ll be ambushed by a large number of T-800s, Drones, and Spiders. After you fight through them all with the other Resistance members you’ll head to the South Division Resistance Shelter, where you will earn this trophy.

During the main mission “Members of the Resistance” you’ll be tasked with going to the downtown area and rescuing Alvin. You push through the area with other soldiers, then after you reach Alvin you do a mad dash to the end of the area to escape. Once you do and return to the Resistance Shelter you’ll earn this trophy.

During the main mission “Hunting Season” you’ll head to the Docks area to set up an ambushed for the T-850, the Infiltrator. Through this level you’ll then chase it around while damaging it, until you get to the final area where you are by yourself and have to take it out. Once it is destroyed you will earn this trophy.

During the main mission “The Codes” you’ll be tasked with going and collecting a device, then going and downloading Skynet codes from an HK Tank using that device. When you reach the tank it will still be operational, so you will need to destroy it by shooting it in the back with rockets. After you do you can hack it to download the codes, earning this trophy.

This trophy is awarded when you complete the game on any difficulty, once you complete the last main mission “No Hope” and fight your way to the TDE complex.
