Riders Republic Trophy Roadmap
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 5/10
- Approximate amount of time to platinum: 25 – 50 hours (25 hours minimum due to 50 Mass Races), must also play over two weekly resets to complete 10 Weekly Challenges
- Offline Trophies: 0
- Online Trophies: 35 (1, 4, 15, 15) – Game is online only
- Number of missable trophies: None, trophies can be completed at any time
- Glitched trophies: None currently (see note below Roadmap about trial progress carry over issues)
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: Must play with Manual trick landing setting for some trophies, otherwise no (playing on higher difficulty gives more Career XP and potential for more stars, but isn’t required if you don’t want to)
- Minimum Playthroughs: 50 Mass Races, 100+ Regular Events, lots of map exploration
- PS4/PS5 Autopop & Save Transfer: Saves transfer to any system that the game can be played on, trophies can be triggered by repeating the action again once EXCEPT “…Vidi…” & “Veni…” (need to discover a new landmark, viewing an already discovered one doesn’t count. If you somehow collected all balloons too you couldn’t pop Veni…) and “Not at the bottom of the food chain” (need to actually reach level 2, leveling above 2 doesn’t count, so need to wait for weekly reset).
- Free-Roam / Level Select after Story?: Free roam becomes available after completing the Introduction, events can be replayed at any time
- Release Date: October 28th, 2021
Introduction
Welcome to the Riders Republic Trophy Guide! Riders Republic is the sequel to Steep, a winter-focused extreme sports game released by Ubisoft in 2016. Riders Republic brings back the snow sports from Steep, along with adding biking sports and a number of new traversal methods to make getting around the mountains quicker and much more fun. Riders Republic changes up the trophy list fairly significantly from how it was set up in Steep, not requiring specific medal placing for events anymore, and focusing more on just getting the player to play through all events, then continuing playing the game how they want to complete more objectives. There is a larger focus on the actual online modes, requiring you to play a large amount of PvP matches, though not specifically requiring you to win so the trophy requirements should largely come with time.
Step 1: Play through each career and the Invitational with Manual Landing, while doing Mass Races and grabbing Collectibles
You can largely play the game how you want after completing the intro as progression is fairly open, but it would be recommended that you work your way through the careers first so that you can unlock better equipment that helps in the other modes. Getting to be able to play the Invitational at 750 total stars and the career Boss events is basically the end goal for solo play and what you’re largely working towards. Set your Landing mode to Manual after the intro, as it helps to learn Manual landing early and work towards the 50 perfect Backflip landings as you play instead of needing to do it at the end. Also, pay attention to when you unlock Contracts and the Shackdaddy challenges, and be sure to work on them when they work with the events you’re doing. Avoid using backtrack when possible, so you can work towards the trophy for 100 event completions.
While playing through career events you want to always accept Mass Races when they start every half hour. You need to complete a total of 50 Mass Races, and since they aren’t available at all times you don’t want to be waiting until everything else is done before you start working on them, because it would potentially mean a lot of waiting around.
You also want to always grab the RR balloon collectibles when you find them. You need to obtain at least 144 of them assuming you grab all Landmarks and Relics for the 200 collectible trophy, and the balloons aren’t marked on the map at all. The only way to find them is to be near them and hear the constant record-scratching noise that they make. They seem to appear near events a lot of the time, so if you grab them while working through the careers you will obtain a large number without really going out of your way.
Step 2: PvP Mode Trophies
After you have completed the solo event-related trophies you should now work through the online modes if you hadn’t already started. You are required to finish 50 Free for All mode events, as well as capture 100 modules and 30 districts in Trick Battle, which will all take a bit of time to work through.
Step 3: Cleanup & Waiting
After you have completed the PvP mode trophies you shouldn’t have very much left trophy-wise aside from potential miscellaneous trophies and the ones that are time-gated. Depending on how many hours and days you took to complete everything else you might still need to complete Contracts and Shackdaddy weeklies, as they are both time-limited on how many you can do. Contracts refresh daily, but you can only swap out each of the 3 contract slots every 2 hours, so you are limited on how many you can do in that time period. Shackdaddy challenges reset weekly and there are only 7 normally available at a time, so you need to play through at least one reset to be able to reach 10 total completed. There are sometimes extra ones added for seasonal rewards, but they aren’t guaranteed at any time so you normally still need to play through a reset to get enough challenges.
Note about Trial Week Save Transfer and Trophy Tracking
Riders Republic offered a 4-hour full game trial the week before launch, with the progress made in the trial continuing into the full game. The way this is set up causes issues with earning trophies though, as the trophies are based on progress actually made in the full game, not based on overall totals. For example, if you collected 10 Landmarks in the trial, in the full game the trophy wouldn’t be awarded at 15 total collected, it would be awarded at 25 because you need to collect 15 in the full game release because that is what the trophy is based on. The same applies for the 250 stars trophy, where it won’t be awarded at 250 total, but when you reach 250 earned on the full game release. If a trophy has become unobtainable or bugged for you, you can reset your game progress by unlinking your Ubisoft Connect account from your PSN Account on the Ubisoft Connect website.

If anybody needs help with the versus mode my PS is Cojotaho_
ImAPirateSoSueMe says
For the 75K trick combo, the easiest method I found myself was to just do the Line Descent snow stunt on the very left side of the map. Once you make that first initial jump and land on the rail, don’t do anything. Basically a free 75K.
PowerBoulet says
Thanks for the tip but the trophy didn’t unlock. I tested in stunt mode and without stunt mode. Any ideas?
ImAPirateSoSueMe says
Did you actually land the combo, PowerBoulet? Popped for me, my cousin and a few friends just fine.
Sean says
I got mine on Tricks battle, pull off a trick in a 5x area, job done
Slugger says
Everything looks fairly straightforward. Capturing districts in trick battle is going to be a big hangup in my opinion. Not a lot of people playing that game mode and you have to have the luck to hit the last module in that district without either team taking it from you
Sean says
I’m nearly done with it, takes a couple mins to find a game sometimes but it’s lively on a weekend. Working on my one foot board score at the same time. Reckon the districts take 2-3 hours to get out the way if you beeline them
anasterion says
Regarding RR balloons you can find them when you open map / switch to 3D view / zoom in and scan map visually (you will see spinning baloon icon when spotted) and also you will hear a sound as mentioned in the guide. Then mark location on the map and go grab it.

Andii says
Hi Powerpyx, and thanks for all your awesome guides. I have a question?
I don’t have PS plus, as I am not that big on online gaming so much these days, but I really do want to try this game out, so I was wondering just how many trophies you would need PS Plus for? Is it a lot? I have an online connection for the game, but I am not sure I want to also drop down for PS plus as well as buying the game.
Thanks 🙂
Andii says
I guess what I mean as well is… would I be locked out of a lot of content, like career etc?
Gage says
Assuming it works like other games you can still play all the single-player stuff, you just wouldn’t be able to play the modes that are specifically against other players, so wouldn’t be able to earn 6 trophies (Flash Mobs, Blockbuster, Owning the Block, Keep your friends close…, …but your enemies closer, Not at the bottom of the food chain).
Andii says
Thank you Gage, for the reply 🙂
xMADxCHR15 says
Great guide as usual.
A very solid game. Was put off in the beta, due to the controls not being Steep enough, but after a bit of practice it now feels pretty smooth.
If anyone can help me with the Versus events, I would greatly appreciate it!

Demetrius says
FYI for the 10 shackdaddy trophy you can get it early, there is 2 extra weekly challenge (I think from the halloween event)[idk how long its going to last or if those 2 refresh daily or not but I got the trophy today](the 2 challenges is called trick, treat)
Demetrius says
P.S. I did them 2 weekly challenges a couple days ago and got the rewards (Trick & Treat) but now I could do them again[weird] right lol

anasterion says
Is it possible to cheese ‘Owning the block’ trophy in a way that you can have 2 pre-made teams and start simultaneously matchmaking in the morning/night for higher chance to get against each other and then just boost this trophy for everyone in the groups?
Gage says
In theory probably, but you need 12 people total for that.
anasterion says
In the end trophy is not that hard as it sounds at first. If someone is struggling with it, here is what I did. Map with 5 districts (where both teams spawn in the same place) is the one on which to capture district is the easiest. Castle map (3 districts) seems to proc more often so I just left the match and registered for queue again till 5 districts map procs. I focused on that same shark/spawn district as other players usually leave for other 4 districts and you will be alone on this district most of the time. Learn 2 grind spots which can be accessed by jumping from ramp on the right side. And by doing so I averaged 2-4 district captures per game. I had only 1 match when player from another team followed same strat and we were fighting for shark district. Hope this helps someone 🙂

Did over 66 Mass Races and nothing any ideas?
Xam says
Was this on PS5? I have done over 50 FFA Sessions and not had the trophy on PS5
iszacht says
On ps5 ps4 version
Flash says
Did you do the mass race that goes up every 30 mins? Not the mass races on the map that has a icon of 3 colors and you can choose solo/versus on. You need 50 of the mass races that you can go through the main hub
iszacht says
Definitely d id the right one and now having the same problem with Shackdaddy weekly challenges

Anyone managed to complete 50 Free for All sessions (“but your enemies closer” trophy) on PS5? I have done over 50 and no trophy.
Is it 50 different events or just 50 sessions with the same events?
Gotcho says
I got it by playing only free for all races.. trick battles doesn’t count for this trophy (at least for me didn’t)
Mr-Ted says
Well i played way over 50 free for all matches. I only played the weekly limited times events and didn’t got the trophy :/

Sir_BlessALot says
I discovered all the landmarks on the ps5 version and now I want to go for all the trophies on the ps4 version but I didn’t see that I need at least one undiscovered landmark for getting that trophy. Is it possible to start over or is there another way to get that trophy?
Gage says
You need to unlink your psn from your Ubi account on the Ubi connect website to restart your progress.
Flash says
@gage how does that work? I unlink it, then go into the game and go to 15 spots again? Or will unlinking it completely restart the game? And once i link it back my progress will be back? I just invested alot and don’t wanne see it all wiped.
Gage says
Totally starts you over. Don’t know if relinking after to get ypur old progress back works
