Injustice 2 Trophy Guide & Roadmap

Start a match on Metropolis Map, Memorial Station Arena (single match or local versus with two controllers). Press Triangle-Button on the Metropolis map to make Memorial Station the starting arena.

Push your opponent in the corner and change the time in the PS4 Settings. It must be 4:30am in the real world to pop this trophy, but you can easily fool the console by setting the time manually.

This can be done in PS4 Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Settings > Set Manually > 4:30.

After changing your console’s time switch back to the game and trigger the level transition.

Start a match on Gotham City Map, Empire Theatre Arena (single match or local versus with two controllers).

Push your opponent in the corner and change the time in the PS4 Settings. It must be 8:00pm (20:00) in the real world to pop this trophy, but you can easily fool the console by setting the time manually.

This can be done in PS4 Settings > Date and Time > Date and Time Settings > Set Manually > 20:00.

After changing your console’s time switch back to the game and trigger the level transition.

Play a match as Gorilla Grodd on the Metropolis Map, Ace o’ Clubs arena. There are 3 barrels on the left side of the arena. Press R1 to throw them at the opponent. In map select you can press the Trianlge-Button to change the starting arena (there are two arenas in Metropolis).

Play a match on the Gotham City Map, Empire Theatre arena (any character). In the middle of the arena you can press R1 to hurl the opponent towards the theatre. Repeat this 3 times and the trophy is yours.

Otherwise just practice with the character you are most comfortable with and learn how to do long combos. Eventually you’ll get lucky and find someone who’s easy to defeat.

In your hero card under “Ranked 1v1” you can see how many matches you have won.

*The online trophies may take more matches to unlock than the trophy descriptions say. It could take 11-15 ranked wins. Just keep playing and it will unlock.

It’s better to go into the “Rooms” section and join a room with many players. You can see the profile level of everyone and how many matches the have won/lost. Challenge low level players and use a level 20 char. What most newcomers don’t realize is that your character level and gear takes full effect in unranked matches, unless you disable it (by pressing Square-Button in map select you can change those gear options but 95% of players don’t know it’s there – by default gear and character level are turned on). If you have a level 20 character with epic level 20 gear you are practically unstoppable when fighting level 1-10 characters. By fighting people with low profile levels it’s likely they have not yet maxed out a single character, giving you a huge advantage. Also, in rooms you can get matches much quicker than searching via the “Online > Player Match” function (because there are so many people in the room and you can challenge them immediately). Best stick to 1v1 matches and always hit rematch. If your opponent also hits rematch you get to fight them again.

How to boost: Create a new Room (Online > Rooms) and have your boosting partner join the same room as you. Once they’re in the room challenge them to a 1v1 versus match. Always hit rematch after beating them. You can do this forever and get very easy wins. Technically you could just as well turbo the X-Button if you have a controller with Turbo function and let it sit for a few hours.

To see how many times you have won, go to Online > Hero Card > Player Match 1v1 / King of the Hill.

King of the Hill matches also count for this! Your KOTH + 1v1 matches are counted together.

*The online trophies may take more matches to unlock than the trophy descriptions say. For me this trophy unlocked after 54 player matches won. Just keep playing and it will unlock.

Remember that you must win 50 player matches and 10 ranked matches and some KOTH matches for other trophies. By the time you are done with all those trophies you may very well have done 200 matches total.

You do not have to win these matches. If you help someone boosting wins it will also count your losses!

*The online trophies may take more matches to unlock than the trophy descriptions say. It could take a little more than 200 matches. Just keep playing and the trophy will unlock.

The following maps have transitions:

• Arkham Asylum
• Atlantis
• Gotham City
• Kahndaq
• Red Sun Prison
• Metropolis
• Brainiac’s Ship
• Batcave

Play a match on the Slaughter Swamp map and pick a strong, muscular character (e.g. Cyborg or Gorilla Grodd). At the end of the match, when your opponent has very little health left, grab the crocodile that’s hanging in the background (press R1). It will then swing the crocodile at the opponent and land the final blow to end the match. Chars with a lean build aren’t strong enough to grab the crocodile, so it has to be a strong one like Cyborg.

During your main playthrough you will get to pick characters before certain fights. You have to go back via chapter select and pick the opposite character. Luckily, it shows exactly which character you have previously completed it with.

Now once you’re inside KOTH press the Options-Button to go AFK. While AFK you can never be picked to fight the King. It will let you watch infinitely. Before every match you will see a 5 second popup to bet on the winner. Most of the time the King will win. Always bet on the king and you’ll be correct most of the time. It’s a bit boring and takes a while but you just need to be around when a new match starts and cast your vote.

If you have a group of people to boost with, meet up in the same room and start a KOTH match from there. Now always let the same player win and everyone will get these 10 votes quickly.

From the main menu go to Online > Rooms > Create Room (press Square-Button), or join an empty room. Let your boosting partner join into the same room as you. Now press X on their name and King of the Hill to challenge them to a match.

The one who send the challenge will be king. The king always starts on the left side of the arena. The person that starts on the right must win the match. That person will then become the new King so it’s your turn to dethrone them. Always lose one match, win one, lose one, win one and repeat until you have 5 wins total.

This will unlock automatically while going for the endings of all 28 characters.

Complete 100 Multiverse Events for the trophy “Pulling Overtime”. You can repeat the same event 100 times in a row if you want. Remember you will have to complete 28/100 events as part of the “Spoiler Ending” trophy (beat ladder mode with every character).

The quickest way to farm this is by dying in the first round of Endless mode.

Go to Single Player > The Multiverse > Battle Simulator > Endless (event on the far right — you must beat the 3 multiverse tutorials to get access). Just pick your lowest level character and let the first opponent defeat you. Even though it’s a loss it will count as a completed event! The “Endless” mode is the only one where dying counts as a completed event. It takes about 90 seconds per event with loading times. After doing the 28 character endings it will take about 2 hours of farming Endless mode to complete 100 events total.

To check how many multiverse events you’ve completed go to the Main Menu > Extras > Hero Card > Overview > Events Completed (check the number). In some cases the trophy may take a few events more to unlock. If this happens to you just keep playing.

From the main menu choose Guilds > Join a Guild.

It does NOT count when creating your own guild. You must join the guild of someone else. You can leave guilds at any time (even your own if you created one).

Open any 100 of them to pop the trophy. You will earn tons of boxes over the course of the game. They are completion rewards from Multiverse events, beating the story, or simply reaching certain level thresholds. You can also buy bronze boxes for 1000 coins each (5000 with patch 1.04). Coins are rewarded for practically everything you do (at the end of every match and again for completing certain events). You can also sell gear to get coins.

*This trophy may be a bit glitchy. For me it unlocked after opening 140 Mother Boxes, not 100. You can check your stats under Extras > Hero Card, but apparently those aren’t very reliable for loot box related trophies. No worries if it doesn’t unlock, just keep opening boxes and it will.

Doing these in Practice Mode does NOT count. They have to be done in normal matches. You can easily combine it with the trophy “Spoiler Alert”. For it you need to unlock the ending of every character and do a playthrough with each of them in ladder mode.

Stand close to the opponent and play on very easy difficulty. On higher difficulties they may block your Supermove.

Press R2 quickly at end of combo to do a meter burn.

This special move is unlocked from RANDOM mother boxes (loot boxes) in the Mother Eye Vault. On extremely rare occassions it can drop as a post-patch reward while playing with any character.

The three recommended ways to get this (that can be combined for best results):

• Pile up on a lot money to buy mother boxes. A minimum of 500,000 money is recommended. The Cat Call move can be unlocked from any box (bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond). Bronze boxes will do fine, the drop rate of abilities is the same across all box types. The only difference being that higher level boxes unlock more items at once. Now back up your save in PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Copy to USB Device (USB is recommended because PS+ Cloud saves sometimes get overriden automatically). After making the backup, spend all your money on bronze boxes. If you run out of money and haven’t unlocked Cat Call, simply copy back your save to get the loot boxes back. Repeat as often as you want until you get Cat Call. Due to the rarity it could take hours to get. Make sure you open all your pre-existing reward boxes before backing up the save. The reason being that reward boxes always contain the same items when you reload the save (they are timestamped when you earn them and always unlock the same items, so it would be a waste of time to open them again). Only the boxes you buy with your own money are randomized each time! Important: disconnect from the internet while opening boxes (PS4 Settings > Network > Connect to the Internet > Uncheck). If you are logged into PSN there’s a rare glitch that will make it impossible to buy new boxes (if this ever happens restore the backup save and play offline).
• The game feature “Gear Drop Character Bias” influences drop rate and can be used to your advantage. Enable it in Main Menu > Extras > Options > Gameplay Settings > Gear Drop Character Bias > ON. Now play a lot with Catwoman to increase her droprate (make her your most played character in the Hero Card statistics). When you’re not playing with Catwoman, turn this setting OFF to get equal drop rates for all characters. In fact, if you never plan on using Catwoman as your main character you should disable this feature from the beginning.
• What worked for me was to narrow down the pool of available abilities by opening over 5,000 bronze boxes on one save without restoring the backup save. The game never drops the same ability twice. By unlocking more abilities you increase the odds of Cat Call dropping. In other words, restoring your save game “resets” your odds every time. You should keep this trophy for last and unlock as many other abilities as possible. There are over 200 abilities in the game, the most I had with a character was 8 abilities with Captain Cold. Cat Call was the 133rd ability that dropped for me. So if restoring the save game doesn’t do the trick, consider farming money instead and narrow down the amount of remaining abilities. It took me about 2 weeks of farming money and opening boxes to earn this trophy.

If you have absolutely no luck with the loot boxes, it’s recommended that you make Catwoman your #1 most played character and turn Gear Drop Character Bias on (Game Options), back up save game and spend all money on bronze boxes. You should get much more Catwoman drops now. Alternatively, you can do thousands of matches with Catwoman for a chance to drop the ability after a match (it can drop with any character but playing with Catwoman has the best chance). You can let the AI play matches for you in Endless Mode (Multiverse > Battle Simulator). In character select press Square-Button to switch to the AI loadout. Choose Catwoman as your character and turn Gear Drop Character Bias ON in the game options. You just need to press X between matches to start the next round and the AI will find endless opponents for you.

Press R2 repeatedly to do a meter burn.

You can also get this very easily in simulated AI matches.

Press R2 repeatedly at the end of the combo to do a meter burn. Make sure your enemy has a fair amount of health left because killing Batman with the first hit of the combo doesn’t count (must land the 2nd hit as final blow).

Press R2 repeatedly at end of combo to activate meter burn.

The second hit of the combo must be the final blow. The first hit won’t unlock the trophy, so make sure the enemy has enough health left. Only if the first hit connects you can press R2 to do the meter burn.

The last hit of the combo must land the killing blow.

Press R2 repeatedly at end of combo to do a meter burn.

There are 28 characters in the base game needed for this. DLC characters such as Darkseid do NOT count. However, the character “Brainiac” who is unlocked from beating the story is required.

#29 – Darkseid – 25:30

You will earn tons of boxes over the course of the game. They are completion rewards from Multiverse events, beating the story, or simply reaching a certain level threshold. You can also buy boxes for coins. Coins are rewarded for practically everything you do (at the end of every match and again for completing certain events). You can also sell gear to get coins.

It is highly recommended that you buy bronze boxes only! They only cost 1000 each (5000 with patch 1.04) and on average you will get 1 epic piece every 15 boxes. One gold box costs 25,000 and doesn’t have a much better drop rate (1 epic every 7-10 boxes). Bronze boxes are the cheapest way to go. They unlock fewer items at once but can unlock any quality.

• Bronze Box: Costs 1000 coins (5000 with patch 1.04). By far the best choice, decent drop rate of epic and rare gear. Only buy this one and forget about the rest.
• Silver Box: Costs 5000 points (10,000 with patch 1.04). Unlocks more items and better chance for rare drops.
• Gold Box: Costs 25000 points. Unlocks even more items and tends to give more rare than common items. Not really a higher chance for epic than the bronze box. Too expensive to buy.
• Platinum: Cannot be bought, reward box only.
• Diamond: Cannot be bought, reward box only. Highest chance of Epic drops but hard to get.

You also receive gear from doing Multiverse events, playing through the story and randomly at the end of matches. The story gives a fair amount of epic gear.

*All the trophies tied to gear pieces from Mother boxes are a bit glitchy. I needed more items than the trophy descriptions say (300 Common, 130 rare, 75 epic). You can check your stats under Extras > Hero Card, but apparently those aren’t very reliable for loot box related trophies. Alternatively you can also count the gear in your inventory (under character customization). No worries if these trophies doesn’t unlock, just keep opening boxes and get more gear. They are absolutely obtainable, just unlocking a bit later than they should.

You can mark multiple items at once. You can use the money that you get to buy new loot boxes. Then sell the items from those boxes again to finance new ones. Gear and money are rewarded for practically everything you do. Gear is mostly from loot boxes, but also from clearing Multiverse events, doing the story, and randomly at the end of matches.

From the main menu go to Multiplayer > AI Battle Simulator. Now simulate 5 matches. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. You can press Touchpad to increase the playback speed.

• Buy level ups with Source Crystals (micro transactions). You can buy these from PS Store for real money. With this you can max out all characters in a few minutes. The only requirement is that you reached level 20 with any character by yourself. After that you can pay 10,000 Source Crystals to bring a character to level 20 instantly (in main menu go to character customization and press Triangle on the char you want to max out). You can purchase 150,000 Source Crystals for $49,99 USD on PlayStation Store (that’s $100 for all 28 characters).
• Farm XP in “AI Battle Simulator” Multiplayer Mode. These are simulated matches that you can speed up (they can run at x4 speed so the matches are very short). You don’t have to play any of these matches, the characters will be AI controlled. It is highly recommended that you get a Turbo Controller or Arcade Stick with turbo function for this! Simply Turbo the X Button and let it sit for a few hours. The good thing is that you can level 3 characters at the same time with this (because this mode has 3 matches in a row and whoever wins 2 out of 3 wins). I maxed out 3 characters every 8 hours. So you can do 9 characters every day. Just turn on the Turbo before going to sleep and let it sit overnight. When you wake up you should have 3 chars maxed out. With 28 chars total it will take a little over 3 days to max out all of them. You just need to change your 3 characters every 8 hours or so.
• With a second controller: do perfect matches in local versus matches. Perfect wins (meaning you didn’t receive damage) give a lot more XP than normal wins. Make sure you put the match time to 300 seconds in game options. This way you earn more XP per match (XP are partly based on time remaining).

Keep this trophy for last. You will earn lots of XP while doing the 200 online matches and 100 Multiverse events.

My personal favorite is farming via the AI Simulator. It doesn’t give much XP per match but you don’t have to do anything for it at all and just need to keep the console running for 3-4 days. Absolutely no skill required.

You must do this to the following villains:

• Catwoman
• Harley Quinn
• Joker
• Deadshot
• Poison Ivy
• Scarecrow
• Bane

Don’t do it in practice mode, it has to be in normal matches. Works with two controllers in local versus mode (this way your opponent doesn’t move). Doing the one transition from outside the Asylum to inside will suffice.

(Thanks to user Killbomb for double checking and helping to narrow down the list)

The Batcave map consists of two arenas: Brother Eye & Armory. Here are all the objects you need to interact with:

Brother Eye:

• 3 Lasers at ceiling
• 3 Crates on right side
• 1 Background Bounce (PC Terminal on left)
• 1 PC Console (far left)

Armory:

• 1 Hook at ceiling
• 1 Trailer on the right side
• 2 Tires in the center
• 1 Background bounce (Batmobile in the middle)
• 1 Motorcycle on far left

Level Transitions aren’t needed. It doesn’t matter if you hit the enemy with thrown objects. When your opponent has used one of the objects (e.g. if they throw tires at you) it will count towards the trophy, you don’t have to interact with these objects yourself. Press R1 to interact with objects.
