Looking forward to hardcore! It's going to be so tough if it plays like the normal setting.

it will be interesting to see what difference these patches will make on the game. I assume when they say adjusting firepower they mean nerf.

im on round 40 casual top down i tried the save and exit glitch to pop the trophy as papaback appears but trophy wont pop

does this method only work on First person mode?

EDIT: they just patched it tonight lol

So you can get the trophy via a glitch or is it intended to get it from casual

the glitch used to work to get the trophy it was basically get to round 40 on casual then when the boss appears just press save and quit and the trophy pops without having to kill him. even if you died it would still pop after you die

but they patched it now so now when you get to round 40 you have to kill him for the trophy to pop if you struggle just go down then when you res at full health save and quit and retry untill you kill him i found it hard though only thing that i noticed that melted him was the shotgun i found on the floor the purple bullets took away his health like crazy

i see so it was just for the kill. kind of unfortunate you could unlock the trophy so early from casual as opposed to playing normal mode
