Star Wars Republic Commando Trophy Guide & Roadmap

This trophy will unlock during the first proper mission of the game (Campaign: Geonosis, Mission: Extreme Prejudice).

This trophy will unlock at the end of the first Campaign upon completion of the ‘Infiltration of the Core Ship’ mission.

This trophy will unlock at the end of the third Campaign upon completion of ‘The Final Strike’ mission.

Most weapons can be found consistently throughout the game, with the only rare one being the Concussion Rifle. Note that occasionally weapons will disappear when dropped by enemies, usually as a result of glitching through walls or the floor. If this happens, you can just carry on and get the weapon next time or you can reload your last save and try again.

The Wookie Bowcaster and Wookie Guided Rocket Launcher found on Kashyyyk don’t count for this trophy, presumably because they are friendly weapons.

1) Geonosian Elite Beam Weapon

This weapon is dropped by the Geonosian Elites, who are the stronger, flying ‘bug’ enemies. These annoying foes will fly around the area blasting you with a beam that can zap your health very quickly. Shoot one down and grab this weapon. They can be found throughout the game, but first encountered in the ‘Infiltrate the Droid Foundry’ mission of the Geonosis campaign.

2) Accelerated Charged Particle Array Gun

Also known as the ‘Trandoshan Shotgun’, this is the most commonly-found enemy weapon in the game along with the Repeater. From the start of the RAS Prosecutor campaign through to the end of the game, Trandoshan grunts are everywhere. The ones holding this weapon can typically be found rushing towards you to blast you from close range so it would be almost impossible to miss this one.

3) Accelerated Charged Particle Repeater Gun

Also known as the ‘Trandoshan Repeater’, this is another very common weapon first found in the ‘Attack of the Clones’ mission of the RAS Prosecutor campaign and throughout the rest of the game. It resembles a submachine gun and is found on the Trandoshan grunts who shoot you from medium range. Again, it’s very hard to miss this one.

4) LS-150 Heavy Accelerated Charged Particle Repeater Gun

Also known as the ‘Trandoshan Heavy Repeater’, this is basically an LMG which is rarer than the other weapons above and carried by the Trandoshans wearing heavy armor, the first of which is in the ‘Rescue the Squad’ mission of the RAS Prosecutor campaign. The weapon is recognizable due to its minigun-like firing speed and is very useful for some of the tougher sections and enemies, so make sure to pick it up.

5) LJ-50 Concussion Rifle

This is the rarest weapon in the game, carried only by a few enemies. The first chance to get this is at the end of the ‘Attack of the Clones’ mission when you have the ‘Advance to Hangar A’ objective. You’ll go down a linear tunnel and at the end of it will be an enemy with this weapon. Sev will say: “Watch it! They’ve got concussion rifles” when you see this enemy, so you know exactly which one it is. Pick this weapon up here because if you miss, there are only a couple of others in the game towards the end of the Kashyyyk campaign.

There are only two weapon attachments to collect and both come during the first Campaign (Geonosis). You have to pick them up as an objective so you cannot miss this.

• DC-17M Sniper – Found at the beginning of the ‘Infiltrate the Droid Foundry’ mission.
• DC-17M Anti-Armor – Found towards the end of the ‘Advance to the Core Ship’ mission, just before you fight the Spider Droid boss.

This trophy will unlock at the end of the second Campaign upon completion of the ‘Saving the Ship’ mission.

This trophy will unlock during the first proper mission of the game (Campaign: Geonosis, Mission: Extreme Prejudice). When you come across your second squad member (Fixer), you will be told to command him to splice a console to bypass a shield blocking your path.

To get this, run up to one as if you were going to melee it. It should attach to your visor and you’ll get a prompt to mash to pull it off. Do so and you’ll unlock this trophy.

You will have to blow far more than 10 demolition charges in just the Geonosis campaign alone, so this is unmissable. After you meet your first squad member (Scorch), you can command him to blast away rocks, pillars, doors and other types of obstacles after a 10-second countdown. You can also plant the charges yourself if you need. It doesn’t matter how you do it, but just blow 10 of them to get this.

There are a few tips to make things easier:

• As is the case in almost all FPS game’s hardest difficulties, you can’t go rushing in and play run and gun. Be smart, use cover and pick enemies off from afar. Don’t play too cautiously though as many checkpoints (not all) have unlimited enemy spawn so you need to push forward. You get a ton of grenades in this game and they’re great for taking out groups or stalling them so you can move forward.
• This is a squad-based shooter … use them! It’s best to keep your squad on the ‘Form Up’ command (Use button + ) for most of the game as they’ll stick close to you, drawing enemy fire and also be close at hand to revive you or vice-versa. ‘Seek and destroy’ means they’ll go their own way and leave themselves (and you) isolated and likely to be killed quickly.
• When possible, position your team in sniping, anti-armor and turret positions (as shown by icons on the map) as they’ll do more damage and have better cover.
• For most commands like slicing consoles and planting charges, get your squadmates to do it. It’s much easier to cover them than it is for them to cover you. They have more health and enemies will generally concentrate their fire on you.
• Bacta tanks (this game’s version of health stations) are very frequent, so use them! After every firefight, take the time to not only heal yourself but your squad too by commanding them to use the stations.
• Make reviving your fallen squadmates a priority. They have much more health than you, so if you get them up they’ll be able to assist you in a fight or be able to revive you in turn under heavy fire.
• The end of mission sub-sections are shown by blue arrows on the screen. If you go through these doors or vents, you will always finish the mission and start the next section in a new area without any enemies harassing you. Therefore, it’s often wise to run past enemies and get to the next section if you can see the finish line.
• The hardest part of the game is the final mission of the Geonosis campaign, ‘Infiltration of the Core Ship’. More specifically, the final sub-section of this mission called ‘Belly of the Beast’. This is because it’s the only part of the game which is timed. You’ll have five minutes to reach your goal and slice a console, which in itself takes a minute to download the data. You’ll know how long is left from the automated voice over the ship’s speaker and if time runs out, you have to reload your save. Since you can’t go slow and take your time, use your grenades (preferably EMPs to disable droids with an electric shock) and run past them until you reach the server room. Stopping to fight will just either lose you a lot of time or get you killed, although of course don’t be afraid to get rid of some enemies who stand in your way. Your anti-armor attachment works well against Super Battle Droids. Once in the server room, command a squad member to use the console and cover him from the annoying Geonosian Elites flying overhead. If you have at least two or three minutes left on the clock when you enter this room, feel free to make a Quicksave as long as your squad is all alive.
• Most importantly of all, abuse the Quicksave feature! The game saves fairly frequently at checkpoints, but you can create your own with one press of the . Learn to do this after clearing every room or whenever you get a chance to heal you and your squad to full health at a Bacta station. Just remember that this is an exact save state, so don’t use it in the middle of a fight or when you’re down because you might find yourself stuck and have to reload from the last mission checkpoint instead.

• Secure Area
• Form Up
• Cancel Maneuver
• Search and Destroy

You can spam all four as soon as this is available to unlock this trophy quickly.

If you didn’t quite get enough kills, there is another opportunity later in this mission. After you emerge from the bunker where you have to shut the windows to keep the ‘bugs’ from coming in, you’ll emerge back in the canyons and find another gunship with a turret.

After you clear the open area at the start of this mission where you snipe the Geonosians on the bridge, you’ll go down a small tunnel and another Geonosian will come out of the wall and attack you.  Kill him and go back to the open area or at least the tunnel connecting that area to the room you’re in and order your squad to ‘Secure the Area’ with Use button + . This is to keep them standing guard in one place and stop them charging ahead and disturbing the eggs in the next room.

Make sure you make a Quicksave so you can immediately try again if you mess up. The next room is a large cave with a number of eggs, which are attached to both the floor and the ceiling. They are very easy to see and shoot from a distance, so progressing slowly and methodically is the trick. You have to get very close to the eggs to hatch them, so this isn’t as annoying as it may seem if you take your time. Also, don’t worry about the small insects who fire toxic goo at you who appear from the eggs as you shoot them; this doesn’t count as ‘hatching’ them. If you run out of ammo, you can swap to your pistol with as this has unlimited ammo.

Be mindful that in the first room, there are eggs hidden from sight behind the ledge in front of you (where the bacta station is), so make sure you work your way around the left side of the room from where you enter to avoid potentially hatching an egg.

At the end of the first room, there are some more eggs in the narrow corridor where you’re attacked by Geonosians. After that is the room with the jamming device objective and the last few eggs, which are located behind the rocks in the center of the room. Deal with the Geonosians first from the entrance to this chamber then shoot the eggs. If you don’t get the trophy here, then you inadvertently hatched one and will have to reload your Quicksave.

This doesn’t work for the general squad commands (accessed by holding the Use button and pressing the D-Pad), it has to be specific command in the environment.

This trophy will unlock at the end of the first mission of the game (Campaign: Geonosis, Mission: Extreme Prejudice). After finding Sev the Sniper, you’ll go into a room and have to command him to take up a sniping position. Once he does, he’ll shoot the ship down.

The dwarf spider droid is a strong enemy which you’ll face a few of during the game. The first time is during the ‘Advance to the Core Ship’ mission in the Geonosis campaign. To defeat it, you need to shoot the glowing red spot between its two front legs in the center of the droid. On Hard difficulty, the droid will kill you quickly in a firefight so a good way to beat it is to constantly circle around it and let your squad do the work. If you’re constantly circling, it won’t be able to see you and shoot you, but it’ll only be concentrating on you leaving your squad free to take it down.

It is this second group that stops and stands to fire at you directly under the dispenser, so shoot at the top of the dispenser where it’s attached to the ceiling to drop it onto the enemies. You should easily get the four kills as they’re grouped together, but just in case you don’t, load your Quicksave and try again.
