Day 6: Early Launch on Hard issues

(BRAVOMIKE87) #1

Before people even start trolling, know that I’m playing BRINK on ps3, so I have to playing SP or freeplay since PSN is down. Now onto my issue:

As we all know, the A.I. in this game is beyond dumb. Me being the trophy whore that I am, I’m currently trying to achieve the gold trophy “Tough as Nails” which requires you to be all single player missions on hard (minus the what-if missions) or beat them in online versus. Seeing as PSN is down, I’m obviously playing single player. I’ve had no issues beating the levels on hard except Day 6: Early Launch. It has 2 primary objective to complete, repair the crane and hack the launch sequence. Can’t even get a good push to complete the 1st objective. My team is so dumb that typically I’m the only one who can make it to the controls. No cover, no help. I know from experience that you shouldn’t expect the A.I. to complete objectives for you, which is why i roll with engineer first to repair the crane, then i switch to operative to hack the controls for the second. Now I have to questions for people reading this:

  1. Are you having the same issues with this level on hard?

and

  1. Can the “Tough as Nails” trophy be completed once I beat Day 6: Early Launch online? as in a mixture of beating levels on hard and beating levels online. or will i have to beat all campaign missions online?

Please do not respond with “i think you have to do this”. I’m asking people who have either had the same issue, or that KNOW FOR SURE i can achieve the trophy by just beating that one mission online. Thanks.

That achievement is only hard because they didn’t want to insult Nail.

hard really isn’t hard. i can beat every other level on hard 1st try, but when it comes to Day 6: Early Launch on hard, its a whole different story.

still need input on my first post. it would be much appreciated.

I just got the achievement yesterday, you can mix them up between VS and Solo. I did everything on Hard Solo except that mission, then did VS and got the achievement.

yes, try it, got nothing to lose

and when you get to level 20, there’s bonus abilities

to be “Tough as Nails” you gotta be smart

Usually i beat my missions on normal but this one is retarded i can repair the crane all by my self but then when i go to hack the controls its imposable cause they keep brining it back to 0 % i know youll probably need friends to help you do this but right now i have no xbox live so ill have to wait

I’ve completed all the campaigns yesterday on hard and received the “Tough as nails” archievement :smiley:
Idk if I had luck or not but almost all the campaigns are pretty easy on hard, except for: “Early Launch”.

I tried 2 different ways:

  • Play the objective class
  • Play other classes and clear the area for the operative

The problem is that some bots going for the crane and others go for the command post. Also bots can get stuck at the bridge :s

Finally I did almost everything myself :frowning: cleared the area plant hb/hack till the second enemy spawn wave, then my “brothers” arrived -.- and I could finish the object.

Last but not least.
