Call of Duty WW2 Trophy Guide & Roadmap

Can be farmed via checkpoint restart. A good farming spot is at the start of Mission 3: Stronghold. Kill the first enemies in this mission or drag the injured soldier to safety (heroic action) to charge up this ability. There’s a checkpoint when entering the church by which point the first aid ability will be ready. Request First Aid Kits, restart checkpoint, repeat.

Can be farmed via checkpoint restart. A good farming spot is at the start of Mission 3: Stronghold. Drag the injured soldier to safety (heroic action) to charge up this ability instantly. There’s a checkpoint when entering the church. Request spotting, restart checkpoint, repeat.

Can be farmed via checkpoint restart. A good farming spot is at the start of Mission 7: Death Factory. After defending the bridge at the start of the mission this ability will be fully charged. Progress to the next checkpoint, request ammo, restart checkpoint, repeat.

Can be farmed via checkpoint restart. A good farming spot is at the start of Mission 8: Hill 493. Kill the MG gunners at the start of the mission or drag the injugred ally to safety (heroic action). Progress to the next checkpoint, request grenades, restart checkpoint, repeat.

Can be farmed via checkpoint restart. A good farming spot is at the very start of Mission 3: Stronghold. Request signal smoke, restart checkpoint, repeat.

Sometimes enemies throw grenades at you, especially on higher difficulties and while you’re behind cover. An easy spot for it is in Mission 2: Operation Cobra. After the long tank drive at the start of the mission, you will have to go in an enemy building. In the very first enemy building of the mission, head upstairs and just stand there waiting for enemies to toss grenades from the farm below. The enemies are hiding behind haystacks on the farm and will frequently toss grenades at you. There are also lots of your allies in this spot near you.

When you stand at the balcony leading to the farm you’re effectively blocking the path for your allies. This will cause a few of them to get stuck behind you (around 10 allies total). It’s super easy to get 5 in one spot here.

See Call of Duty WW2 All Memento Locations.

Veteran is available from the beginning! Unlike most other shooters, your health does not recover automatically. You must find Medkits in the game world or have your allies toss them to you, then use the medkits to restore health. Medkits are frequently dropped by enemies so be sure to search their corpses. There are relatively few enemies in the game and your allies have lots of useful abilities such as providing artillery fire on an enemy position. Luckily, the abilities of your allies (such as medkits) recharge over time so they can be used repeatedly.

Stay in cover, don’t walk out in the open and advance carefully. Hang back and take out the enemies one by one. Use smoke grenades when changing cover to obscure the enemies’ line of sight.

If you’ve already beaten the game on a lower difficulty you can do this via mission select. Before each mission, choose Veteran difficulty. In mission select you can also see which missions you have completed on Veteran (they will have a striped ribbon on them).

Mission 1: D-Day
Objective: Take the Beach

The first thing you do in mission 1 is to run up a beach guarded by MGs firing at you. For this trophy you are not allowed to be hit by the MGs at all. However, you are allowed to restart checkpoints if you do get hit.
There is also a hidden time requirement of 2 minutes. The timer isn’t shown in-game so you just have to be as quick as you can be.

My strategy is to stick close to Pierson. He will run when it’s safe to and take cover when needed. You just have to stick to him like glue and run very closely alongside him. Then the MGs have a low chance of hitting you. When Pierson takes cover you should crawl on the ground. While crawling the MGs are less likely to hit you.
Sometimes you still get hit, it’s somewhat random and may take a few tries. Basically, just stay close to Pierson and crawl behind cover while the MGs are firing. When the MGs stop firing, move on to the next cover.

Remember you can restart the checkpoint when being hit. The trophy pops when detonating the pole charge at the seawall.

Mission 2: Operation Cobra
Objective: Get on the AA Gun

After getting on the AA Gun in Mission 2, you have to shoot down bombers trying to attack your allied tanks. There are 20 planes total.

Here is the order in which the planes appear:
3 RIGHT – 3 MIDDLE – 2 LEFT – 2 LEFT – 3 MIDDLE – 2 RIGHT – 2 LEFT – 2 LEFT – 1 MIDDLE

You are allowed to restart checkpoints if you miss a plane!

Mission 3: Stronghold
Objective: Scout the Courtyard

In the church of church of mission 3 you will have to go to the clocktower to provide cover fire for Zussman. Pick up a sniper rifle at the top of the tower. Now every shot you fire has to hit an enemy until Zussman reaches his target.
You are allowed to restart checkpoints if you miss a shot!

Mission 4: S.O.E.
Objective: Stop the Train

In mission 4 there’s a driving section. You’ll be driving a car to catch up to a train. During the drive you are not allowed to ram any obstacles (rocks, fences etc). This is fairly self-explanatory.
If you do hit anything, just restart the checkpoint. The trophy pops as soon as your buddy takes over the wheel and you switch to the MG.

Mission 5: Liberation
Objective: Place Explosives on the North Gate

In the first hostile area of the mission, you are armed with only a silenced pistol and must sneak past enemies to place two bombs.
As soon as the section starts, go outside on the balcony and jump on the railing (don’t drop down), then jump on the ledge of the house. You can go around the ledge to the next balcony where an enemy is standing. Stealth-kill him, enter the building and head downstairs. Then through the door and you’re already at the first bomb. Plant it, then pick the lock of the nearest door. Behind the door head upstairs and – as before – jump on a balcony and then on the ledge of the house to move undetected above the enemies. Make your way to the opposite side of the area where the Southern Bomb must be placed. The trophy unlocks immediately when planting the second bomb.

You are allowed to restart checkpoints when detected.

Chapter 6: Collateral Damage
Objective: Reach the Theater

At the very start of mission 6 you will be driving a tank. It’s a relatively lengthy section that lasts for about 10 minutes. During the tank drive, there will be enemies with rocket launchers and enemy tanks shooting at you.
The armor of your tank must stay above 80% to earn the trophy at the end of this section. Your armor is shown in the bottom left corner. However, it doesn’t show how many % you have remaining so you’ll have to guess. Try not to get hit in the beginning at all. Stay back as far as possible and shoot at the buildings to clear out enemies.
Later on, there will be more difficult sections. At one point, there will be 2 tanks driving around the map. You have to drive behind buildings so they lose sight of you, then ambush them from behind. Two shots from behind (or 1 in the back, 1 in the side) are enough to destroy an enemy tank. Just avoid shooting them at the front as they are heavily armored there and will fire back.

Also put the difficulty on rookie to make this go smoother. If you get damaged too badly, restart the checkpoint.

Mission 7: Death Factory
Objective: Find your Squad

For this you must get through the foggy forest without being detected by human enemies. There is one dog that will always detect you and that’s fine. It’s the woods area where you see the dead pilot hanging from his parachute.
In the first section, after killing the dog, stick to the far right side of the area. There are only 3 enemies and they are easy to bypass if you wait behind a tree until they are gone.
Up next is a bigger section with a flamethrower enemy. Stick to the far right side of the area. There are two enemies patrolling but you can take them out with melee attacks. Stick to the right side and melee kill the enemy in front of the bunker while the other enemies are walking away. Your buddy will kill the 2nd enemy in front of the bunker.

The trophy unlocks after reuniting with your teammate, opening the door inside the bunker, and reaching the woods area that doesn’t have any fog.

You can restart checkpoints if you get detected. If an enemy sees you for just a moment that’s okay as long as you don’t alert the entire camp.

Mission 8: Hill 493
Objective: Capture the Hill / Escort the Enginner

Shortly after the start of mission 8, you will have to escort an engineer holding an explosive pole charge up a hill. There is an MG guarding the hill. Shoot the MG to suppress it, then quickly tell the engineer to move on. Repeat this until he reaches the top of the hill. You always have to shoot at the MG a few times until it stops firing. Some enemies will also spawn so be sure to kill them.

If the engineer dies you can simply restart the checkpoint to retry.

Mission 9: Battle of the Bulge
Objective: Call for Air Support

In mission 9 you will be flying an attack plane and have to protect your allied bombers by shooting down enemy planes. In total there are two waves of enemy airplanes. The first wave has 8, the second wave 12. So there are 20 planes total and you must personally destroy 12 of them.
What makes this tricky is that your teammates also shoot down these planes and they do so relatively quickly. You have to be very fast and shoot down as many planes as you can.

Press the touchpad to highlight enemy planes. Fly close to them and hold L2 to target them. Once you’ve locked on them you can speed up (push left stick up) to get closer to them, thus they are easier to hit. It may take a few playthroughs. The thing is, there are several checkpoints throughout this and if you were too slow in the beginning it’s almost impossible to still end up with 12 kills.
What I recommend is making a manual backup before this section. When you reach the plane section, pause the game and choose “Leave” (do not quit application as it will not save). Once you are back in the main menu you can go to PS4 Settings — Application Saved Data Management and back up in PS+ Cloud or on USB. This way, if the trophy doesn’t pop, you can simply copy back the save and don’t have to go through the entire mission again.

Mission 10: Ambush
Objective: Infiltrate the Air Base

In mission 10 there is a sneaking section early in the mission (after attacking the truck convoy). You are armed with a silenced pistol and must infiltrate an air base.
Stick to the far right side of the base. Kill the enemies along the way with a headshot or 2-3 bullets to the upper body. There is one room with 3 enemies and the base commander. You can simply shoot them very quickly. It’s okay if single enemies see you as long as you kill them quickly afterwards. They just aren’t allowed to alert the entire base. If the icon above their head turns red you still have a second to kill them.
If in doubt, restart the checkpoint. You can restart checkpoints when detected and still earn the trophy in the end. The trophy pops after climbing the ladder to the sniper nest.

Mission 11: The Rhine
Objective: Capture the AA Gun

After getting on the AA Gun in Mission 11, you have to shoot down attack planes. There are 25 planes total.

Here is the order in which the planes appear:
3 MIDDLE – 5 LEFT – 4 RIGHT – 4 MIDDLE – 4 MIDDLE – 3 MIDDLE – 2 LEFT

If you miss a plane, restart the checkpoint immediately!

It is highly recommended that you back up your save game manually before getting on the AA gun. Otherwise if you mess up you have to replay the entire mission.
To create manual backup: Pause the game > Choose “Leave” > Go to PS4 Settings > Application Saved Data Management > Saved Data in System Storage > Copy to USB or PS+ Cloud.

If the trophy doesn’t pop you can copy back the save game and it will put you back before the AA gun. This way you don’t have to replay 10 minutes of the mission every time.

You can accept daily challenges (the game calls them “daily orders”) from Major Howard in the HQ. An example of a challenge is “kill two enemies with one grenade”. They are small multiplayer tasks like that. You must also redeem the daily challenges with Major Howard in the HQ after completing the requirements. Be sure to talk to him whenever you’re done with a set of challenges to redeem your reward.

You should work on this trophy from the beginning and log into multiplayer each day to do a few challenges (at least the easy ones). Otherwise, you might end up with just this trophy remaining and having to wait for days to get enough challenges.

Glitch Warning: There are reports of this trophy unlocking later than it should. It took some players 25+ Daily Challenges to unlock it. If it doesn’t pop after the 21st challenge, keep doing more challenges and it should unlock eventually. It’s just a tracking glitch and the trophy is still obtainable. It’s recommended that you redeem all finished challenges with Major Howard in the HQ and not through the orders menu, this may help with tracking.

In total you need 1,457,200 XP (200-250 War matches, 20-25 hours of game time).

War is the fastest mode to level up. It gives the most XP of all modes and even if you’re not great at shooters you can earn XP by doing the objectives and helping your team.

To prestige a division you need to reach & complete level 4 with it. It takes roughly 350,000 XP with that division to complete level 4 (150k to reach lvl 4 and another 165k to complete level 4). Then you can talk to the Division Prestige guy in the headquarters.

This won’t take long at all. You get around 10,000 Division XP per match. So that’s roughly 30 matches to prestige a division. You can switch your division at any time if you want. They all have different effects. On your way to Player Prestige 1 (reach player level 55) you can easily prestige a division. Note that after reaching division level 4 the XP counter keeps going up and you need another 165k to complete the level and be eligible for prestige.

Before you can do the “hard” easter egg for the Dark Reunion Trophy / Achievement you must first play the casual easter egg (Fireworks trophy) until the point of no return, meaning the last step before the boss fight where you enter codes into a machine to activate the “Voice of God”. You are not allowed to shoot the orange orb in the Emperor’s Chamber after activating the voice of god. Doing so will bring you to the Klaus Boss and continue the easy easter egg.
After activating the voice of god you can continue with the steps for the “hard” easter egg. You must also build all 4 tesla gun upgrades in your easter egg session (Dark Arts trophy). It’s recommended you work on those from the beginning to save some rounds later.

Check out the trophies “Fireworks” & “Dark Arts” first. It’s highly recommended that you play with 4 people for this. You should also have done a playthrough of the easy “Fireworks” easter egg first to practice for the boss fight. You wouldn’t want to go through all the trouble of the hard easter egg just to mess up at the endboss. After you’ve done the easy easter egg & built all tesla gun upgrades the remaining steps are pretty simple to do.

For a Step-by-Step Guide see Call of Duty WW2 Zombies: The Final Reich Easter Egg Guide.

You can replay the prologue at any time under Zombies > Play Online > Replay Prologue.

There’s a secret Mystery Box that makes surviving a lot easier:

To unlock the Mystery Box you need to shoot 10 Lanterns around the map. Check the video above or if you prefer screenshots, use this guide: COD WW2 – How to Unlock Mystery Box in Prologue.

The map is very tiny so surviving is actually not that easy. The trick is to run in circles and “train” the zombies, meaning they all need to be in one line. This minimizes the risk of getting cornered. It takes a bit of time but if you run around aimlessly you’ll just get cornered and die. There’s a “quick revive” and armor upstairs in the house. You can refill the quick revive 3 times. It auto-revives you when you go down. The armor gets more expensive each time and protects you from fatal hits. Downstairs you can buy the MP-40 weapon. Refilling ammo costs only 500 points so it’s more cost-effective up to round 10 than buying mystery box weapons (those cost 1000 points each with no way to refill ammo). You also have a special ability called “Freefire”. It recharges automatically when you shoot enemies. Activate it by pressing L1+R1 to get infinite ammo for a brief time. This is really great when you have an MG from the mystery box as it can kill the zombies very quickly. With a bit of luck you can draw a “Jack-in-the-Box” from the Mystery Box. Those are explosives that lure the zombies so they won’t attack you for a few seconds. If you lose any quick revives before round 10 you should restart the match. When the zombies kill you the match restarts inside the house at round 2 so you needn’t restart the prologue from the beginning each time. The trophy pops as soon as you beat round 19 (you don’t have to survive round 20, just reach it).

My Strategy:

1. At the start of each round, shoot the first zombie that spawns downstairs (it always spawns by the window under the armor perk).
2. Rush upstairs to the armor perkand kill as many zombies as you can (5 in early rounds, 2 in later rounds). You must stand in front of the armor shop. This will lure all zombies towards this side of the map so you can jump down the other side unharmed.
3. Drop down the ledge by the self-revive. Most of the zombies will have gone to the opposite side to the armor shop so you have a relatively clear path when you drop down. However, you should always be shooting your weapons as you drop down so you can kill zombies before the trap you (in case a zombie is about to go upstairs).
4. Now you must “train” the zombies, meaning they all need to be in one line behind you. After dropping down the ledge, head around the big corner (the side of the armor perk), then back upstairs to the armor perk. As you run upstairs, be sure to push towards the wall. This way most zombies won’t be able to hit you.
5. Once upstairs, rush back to the ledge by the quick revive (completely ignoring all zombies along the path). From here shoot zombies to fill up your freefire ability. When zombies are closing in on you, repeat steps 3-5 until you have all zombies in one line and the freefire ability ready. Then use freefire with an MG or Assault Rifle and aim for Zombies’ heads. Even at round 19 a well timed freefire will wipe out 70% of the round’s zombies. Train the remaining zombies again and use the MP-40 or a box weapon to kill them.
6. General Advice #1: Always have the MP-40 wallbuy and an MG or Assault Rifle from the box equipped. The worst weapons for this are shotguns, pistols, semi-auto rifles or SMGs. You need something that does a lot of headshot damage and has good range. This is important so you can kill as many zombies as possible when using freefire by the ledge upstairs. Don’t save on ammo with assault rifles or MGs. They should be your primary pick for kills after round 12+. After round 12 the MP-40 is only good to power up the freefire ability but it doesn’t do enough damage to kill enemies quickly. When your box weapon is empty you can draw a new one (leave one zombie alive at end of round and use box until you get an Assault Rifle / MG).
7. General Advice #2: Be sure to draw the Jack-in-the-Box. It’s best used after going down and losing the self-revive. Then you can throw a jack to distract zombies and get new armor / self-revive in the meantime.

What can go wrong: After you drop down the ledge by the self-revive it’s possible you’ll fall onto a zombie below and get trapped. To avoid this, always be shooting when you drop down. This will quickly kill zombies trying to trap you. Even if you do go down you have 3 self-revives in total. It’s also a matter of timing, if you time it right there won’t be any zombies trapping you.

It really comes down to timing and learning the zombie spawns. Everything is scripted, zombies always spawn in the same places / same order each round. The only difference is that they spawn in more quickly in later rounds and can take more hits.

Bombers start spawning frequently from round 11+ onward. They are bigger than normal zombies and carry an explosive canister on their back. The easiest way to get this is by killing a Bomber so it drops the explosive canister on the floor. Then shoot the explosive canister on the floor when 10 or more zombies are standing close to it. The blast radius isn’t the greatest so the zombies need to be really close together. Simply “train” the zombies, meaning you must run up and down an area until they are all walking in a line. Then lure them to the canister.

You can also throw a Jack-in-the-Box. These lure all zombies to the same spot. Before the Jack-in-the-Box explodes, shoot the explosive canister that the Bomber dropped. You can get Jack-in-the-Box from the “Mystery Box”. You can see the location of the mystery box by looking for the green beam of light in the sky and going to the spot of the green beam.

There are always 4 bombers spawning in the bunker, after opening the middle bunker door to the salt mines. You can get to them very early and lure them to a big group of zombies.

Only the player shooting the canister earns the trophy, other people in the session don’t get it automatically.

For a step-by-step guide explaining all upgrades, check out this: COD WW2 Zombies: All Tesla Gun Upgrades. It’s recommended you complete the “easy” easter egg for the Fireworks trophy first to learn the basics of this map. You must build all 4 Upgrade Variants in one match. Everyone in the match will earn the trophy regardless of who builds them.

Bloodthirst:

Hurricane:

Midnight:

Reaper:

Wüstlinge are bigger than normal zombies. They use melee attacks and charge at you when shooting them. They frequently spawn from round 11 onward (they can spawn as soon as round 7 but it’s rarer).

What you need to do is train a group of zombies (run with them from one end of an area to the other so they are all running in one line). Now let the Wüstling get behind the normal zombies. Shoot the Wüstling and he’ll come charging towards you, knocking over all other zombies along the way. When he knocks over 10 zombies the trophy pops.

The reality of it is, that this trophy will almost certainly pop randomly without trying to get it. This is because when you shoot at zombies, your bullets will fly through walls and can hit Dr. Straub. For example, he can spawn behind windows in the starting area and it’s very easy to hit him by accident. Instead of searching for him, just do the other zombie trophies and there’s a 99% chance you’ll get this automatically along the way.

The trophy also pops for everyone in the group, regardless of who shoots Dr. Straub. So playing in a group of 4 to high rounds has a fair chance of making this trophy pop randomly when someone shoots a bullet through a wall and accidentally hits Straub. Otherwise, just look behind all windows on the map and if you can’t find the guy, restart the match. The earliest I found him was round 6 but it’s possible he can spawn earlier.

Before starting a zombies match on The Final Reich, you should pick the Medic Class with the Camouflage ability. This renders you invisible for a few seconds which is perfect to melee kill enemies without being attacked by them.
The best place to get the trophy is in the bunker. After turning on the power you can go through the middle door in the bunker. Behind that door are always 4 Bombers. Use the Camouflage ability before opening that door and then use melee attacks to kill one of them. The shovel is your default melee weapon, you always have it. They can take quite a few hits but in lower rounds it’s easy enough.

If you don’t know how to get to this point, follow my Pack-a-Punch guide until the end of Step 2: Pack-a-Punch Guide.

Bombers also spawn in later rounds (starting at round 12+ or so). The bunker is just the first and easiest place to do it.
Keep in mind your Camouflage ability must first charge up. This happens automatically when you kill zombies. It will then show a red circle in the bottom right corner of the screen. Press L1+R1 (LB+RB) to activate the Camouflage once it’s powered up.
