Combat & Parkour

The fighting, free-running and stat trophies — kill milestones, special moves, the two proficiency-cap Silvers and the Inhibitor-hungry Health/Stamina maxes. Most build up naturally; a few need a specific skill unlocked first.

🌙 Combat and parkour XP are boosted at night, so night runs level Combat Master and Parkour Master fastest. Bank your Inhibitors for the Fit as a Fiddle / Ironheart save-backup.

You Never Forget Your First...

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Craft your first item.

TypeBronze
LocationEarly
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Craft anything — a medkit, a Molotov, a throwing knife — from the crafting menu. Unmissable early tutorial.

Tip

Keep crafting throughout: consumables are your lifeline, and repeated crafting nudges you toward blueprint upgrades you'll want anyway.

Oh, So This Is How It Works!

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Modify your weapon for the first time.

TypeBronze
LocationEarly
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Install your first weapon mod (an elemental tip, grip or similar) onto any weapon. Pops on the first install.

Tip

This is also step one toward Modder (50 mods). Cheap mods count, so don't hoard them — keep swapping and upgrading.

Parkour Master

SilverFull guideCollapse

Achieve maximum Parkour Proficiency.

TypeSilver
LocationGrind
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Level your Parkour proficiency to the cap. You earn Parkour XP by running, climbing, vaulting and traversing — basically by moving around Villedor.

Tip

Parkour XP is boosted at night. Long night traversals, the Windmills and the Nightrunner Trials all pour into this — it usually caps naturally by the time you finish everything else.

Combat Master

SilverFull guideCollapse

Achieve maximum Combat Proficiency.

TypeSilver
LocationGrind
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Level your Combat proficiency to the cap by fighting — melee, ranged and takedowns all count.

Tip

Combat XP is also higher at night and against tougher foes. Clearing Bandit Camps, GRE Anomalies and the kill-milestone trophies below will cap this for you.

After the Fall

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Fall from a combined height of at least 10,994 meters.

TypeBronze
LocationGrind
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

A cumulative counter — total up 10,994 m of falling over the whole game (survived falls, paraglider descents and dives all add up).

Tip

You rack this up passively from parkour and paragliding down off Windmills. If it lags behind, repeatedly dive from a high ledge into water or onto an airbag to top it off safely.

Can't Touch This!

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Kill 20 enemies in a row with melee weapons without taking damage.

TypeBronze
LocationCombat
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Land 20 consecutive melee kills without taking a hit. Any damage — including a fall — resets the streak.

Tip

Do it on a loose group of slow Biters, ideally where you can back off between swings. Perfect Parry builds also make this easy since you never eat damage.

Night Hunter

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Kill a Volatile.

TypeBronze
LocationNight
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Kill a Volatile — the apex nocturnal hunter. They're brutal at full night, so the safe play is catching one near dawn as they weaken and retreat.

Tip

If you don't want a straight fight, track a fleeing Volatile at sunrise and finish it then. Otherwise bring your strongest weapon, UV and firecrackers.

Death From Afar

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Kill a Spitter using a ranged weapon.

TypeBronze
LocationCombat
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Spitters are the bloated infected that lob toxic goo. Kill one with any ranged weapon — a bow, throwing weapon or firearm.

Tip

A bow is the cleanest option: it's silent (so you won't summon Virals) and one good headshot usually does it.

Tanning Salon

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Use the UV Flashlight to kill a Viral.

TypeBronze
LocationNight
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Once you unlock the UV Flashlight, shine it on a Viral (the fast, fresh infected) long enough to drain and kill it.

Tip

Virals swarm when you're loud at night. Let one chase you, then hold the UV beam on it — it's also great for peeling Virals off you during chases.

Terminal Headache

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform 50 headshots with a ranged weapon.

TypeBronze
LocationCombat
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Score 50 headshots using ranged weapons. A bow makes this trivial and quiet.

Tip

Craft a bow early and use it as your default picker-offer. Standard Biters barely move, so lining up head shots is easy and it feeds Death From Afar and Terminal Headache together.

Slowpoke!

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Lose the maximum level of Chase.

TypeBronze
LocationNight
MissableNo
DifficultyHard

How to earn it

At night, provoke the infected until your Chase meter climbs to its maximum level, then escape it — break line of sight and reach safety.

Tip

Build the chase by staying in Volatiles' sight and tripping howlers; the meter rises in stages. When it maxes, sprint for a UV safe zone or Windmill and lose them. Do it once your parkour is strong so you can actually outrun them.

Lightning Rehexes

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform a Perfect Block 10 times in a row without taking damage.

TypeBronze
LocationCombat
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

With the Block/Perfect Parry skill, time 10 blocks perfectly in a row against enemy attacks without being hit.

Tip

Find a single human enemy who attacks predictably, unlock Perfect Parry first, and parry each swing. One aggressive lone Renegade will feed you all ten swings.

Modder

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Modify your weapons at least 50 times.

TypeBronze
LocationGrind
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Install 50 weapon mods total across your weapons — each individual install counts toward the 50.

Tip

Mods are cheap once you have blueprints. Keep applying and replacing tips, grips and shafts as you find better gear; it stacks up fast over a full playthrough.

Fit as a Fiddle

SilverFull guideCollapse

Max out your Health.

TypeSilver
LocationInhibitors
MissableSemi
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Max your Health stat, which is leveled by spending Inhibitors. Reaching the cap costs far more Inhibitors than a single run gives you if you also max Stamina.

Tip

Save-backup method: bank 81 Inhibitors, back up your save (cloud/USB), pour all 81 into Health to pop this, then restore the backup to get them back and dump them into Stamina for Ironheart. Without this you'd need roughly two playthroughs.

Ironheart

SilverFull guideCollapse

Max out your Stamina.

TypeSilver
LocationInhibitors
MissableSemi
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Max your Stamina stat via Inhibitors. It shares the same Inhibitor pool as Health, which is why you can't max both normally in one run.

Tip

This is the second half of the save-backup trick: after unlocking Fit as a Fiddle, reload your 81-Inhibitor backup and spend them all on Stamina instead. Do the two back to back so you don't lose track of the save.

You're Going Down!

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform 50 takedowns.

TypeBronze
LocationCombat
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Perform 50 stealth takedowns — sneak up behind a human enemy and execute them.

Tip

Bandit Camps and Renegade outposts are full of humans to stealth-kill. Approach crouched from behind; it's silent and keeps you off their radar.

Don't Look Up

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform Smash on at least 50 enemies.

TypeBronze
LocationCombat
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Perform the Smash finisher on 50 enemies — a leaping downward slam. Unlock Smash in the Combat skill tree first.

Tip

Climb any low structure — a car, a container, a wall — and Smash onto the enemies below, then repeat. Near rooftops it doubles up with your fall-distance and combat XP.

Get the Point?

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Kill 50 enemies with a Spear.

TypeBronze
LocationCombat
MissableNo
DifficultyEasy

How to earn it

Craft a Spear (you'll need the blueprint) and kill 50 enemies with it. Spears have long reach and strong thrusts.

Tip

Spears are cheap to craft and great for safely poking zombies from just out of grab range — a low-risk way to farm both this and Combat Master.

True Nightrunner

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Complete all Nightrunner Trials.

TypeBronze
LocationNight
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Complete all 10 Nightrunner Trials — timed parkour courses. A bronze medal on each is enough for the trophy.

Tip

Bronze times are generous, so you rarely need a perfect run. They also hand you Parkour XP, so knock them out while grinding Parkour Master.

Bing Bang Boom!

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform an Air Kick after a Double Wall Run.

TypeBronze
LocationParkour
MissableNo
DifficultyMedium

How to earn it

Chain a Double Wall Run into an Air Kick on an enemy. You need both skills unlocked from the Parkour tree.

Tip

Find a narrow gap between two walls with an enemy nearby: wall-run off one, then the other, then air-kick the zombie mid-air. A tight alley with a lone Biter is the ideal setup.
