Overview
Step 1: Learn how the game works
In this stage, it’s best to get a feel for how the game plays. It’s recommended to start on “Easy” difficulty while learning but the game isn’t overtly difficult so feel free to jump ahead to other difficulGes if you feel comfortable. It’s also recommended to play this game standing/roomscale but it can be played in a seated posiGon. You’ll noGce that your right hand is always the one where you’ll be shooGng your weapon (unless switched in the sebngs to lec hand mode!) and your lec hand will be your shield. This game does not use any of the core PlayStaGon bueons on the controllers but you’ll instead mainly use R1, R2, L1, L2 as well as your own moGon.
You’ll most likely obtain the following trophies during this stage:
- First of Many (Bronze)
- Bullseye (Bronze)
- Cool (Bronze)
- Epic (Bronze)
- Some Assembly Required (Bronze)
Step 2: Build your database and upgrades to reach the Temple of the Machine God
Now that you’ve got a feel for the game, it’s Gme to go on mulGple runs to build your upgrades so you can survive longer to reach the Temple of the Machine God. Acer each run, you’ll reset back at the main menu where if you look to your lec, you’ll find the database tab and if you look to your right, you’ll find the upgrades tab. The database tab consists of unlocks weapon components and mods with different rarity levels. These are items that you will unlock acer each round. The drop rates of these items are enGrely random so while you may receive a certain mod acer a certain wave in one biome in one game, the next game you may be offered something different. The upgrades tab consists of tangible upgrades/items that do carry over from game-to-game. This could be something like increasing your overall health to earning more scrap from each balloon. It’s highly recommended to max out your health and shield upgrades early as these will allow you to go for longer runs and obtain higher scores on the leaderboard. To do this, it is best to go for as much scrap as you can in each run. Scrap can be obtained by destroying enemies, popping scrap/health balloons, etc.
It’s also highly recommended to obtain the Turbo Gazzler doll in the shop just acer finishing wave 5 since wave 6 is the boss wave. This doll will aggro the gazzlers and make them shoot faster and more ocen, etc. The reason for this is to obtain 3 trophies related to beaGng the bosses (one in each biome always on wave 6) while they are Turbo. By now, you may be playing on Easy, Normal, or Hard difficulty and might have come across this doll to obtain the trophy(s) but if you are having trouble with its drop rate on wave 5, then play on Nightmare difficulty. The reason for this is because it has been confirmed by the developers that this item drops more frequently in this difficulty so you’ll have a higher chance of obtaining it. It is worth noGng that if the Turbo Gazzler doll appears in your shop in an earlier wave before round 6 and you pick it up then it will NOT appear again for the rest of that biome. So, it is best to skip it in the shop unGl it appears just before the boss wave.
You’ll most likely obtain the following trophies during this stage:
- Hard Socware (Bronze)
- Gazzlecide (Bronze)
- Moderate (Bronze)
- 10,000 (Bronze)
- Stormtrooper (Bronze)
- Can’t Touch This (Bronze)
- Badoomed (Bronze)
- Caught the Bus (Bronze)
- DetonaGon DemoliGon (Bronze)
- Free Real Estate (Bronze)
- It’s So Big (Bronze)
- Welcome to the Crystal Salts (Bronze)
- Welcome to the Unclean Ravine (Bronze)
- Badamned (Silver)
- Last Stop (Silver)
- Big Whoop (Silver)
- For the Machine God! (Silver)
- Chunky (Silver)
- 50,000 (Silver)
- Trait Yourself (Silver)
- Locked ‘n Loaded (Gold)
- Fully Restored (Gold)
- All Accounted For (Gold)
Step 3: Miscellaneous Grind/Cleanup
By this stage, you’ll mostly have everything and may just need to do random miscellaneous tasks or compleGon types of trophies. Most of these are relaGvely easy and would most likely have popped already during your previous runs but in case they didn’t, just be on the lookout!
Now, Pilgrim Ascended (PlaGnum) is yours, congrats!
Trophy List:
🏆First of Many – Die.
This will most likely be the first trophy you earn in the game acer you complete your first run simply for dying.
🏆Many of First – Die 100 Gmes.
This may be one of the last trophies you earn in this game as it requires you to do die a cumulaGve total of 100 Gmes across your pilgrimage runs. There is no stat tracker in game so this will pop naturally if you die 100 Gmes or be sure to keep count to make this go a bit faster.
🏆Gazzlecide – Kill 1000 Gazzlers.
You’ll earn this trophy by killing a cumulaGve total of 1000 gazzlers across your pilgrimage runs. I’ve noGced that killing them directly by shooGng them off of vehicles, outposts, etc. is what counts. You’ll obtain this naturally on your way to the PlaGnum.
🏆Helium Havoc – Destroy 100 Scrap Balloons.
Scrap balloons are the floaGng balloons that you’ll ride past on your pilgrimage runs. These balloons award you the currency scrap which is used to purchase upgrades, etc. They can appear as a hot air balloon, blimp, and even a big pirate ship. Depending on the biome and wave you’re in, there can be anywhere from 3-10 scrap balloons you’ll ride past so be on the lookout for them.
🏆DetonaGon DemoliGon – AcGvate 100 Traps.
Traps are the explosive barrels that you’ll ride past on your pilgrimage runs. These are helpful for destroying many vehicles in a certain blast radius. The trophy specifically is just for shooGng 100 of them so it doesn’t maeer if you kill 100 enemies with traps. Just simply shoot 100 barrels to unlock the trophy
🏆Free Real Estate – Destroy 100 Outposts.
Outposts are the staGonary turrets that ocenGmes sit in the distance on the edge of a cliff or plateau. They tend to shoot in bursts of 3 or in the 2nd biome, they even shoot rockets at you. Take down 100 of these to obtain this trophy
🏆Fire Away – Fire 100,000 bullets.
This trophy is awarded for shooGng a cumulaGve total of 100,000 bullets across your pilgrimage runs. You’ll most likely obtain this naturally while playing or this could be one of the last trophies you need to obtain before the plaGnum. Luckily, this trophy has a percentage counter that tracks your progress.
🏆Cool – Equip a Very Cool Component.
Components are modificaGons that upgrade your weapon along your run. The specific weapon component you may receive acer finishing a wave is completely random. There are 3 parts to a component: barrel, receiver, and frame. A Very Cool component is a blue-colored weapon component. The Very Cool component can be for any of the 3 parts so pick whichever suits you and this trophy is yours.
🏆Epic – Equip a Super Epic Component.
Components are modificaGons that upgrade your weapon along your run. The specific weapon component you may receive acer finishing a wave is completely random. There are 3 parts to a
Component
barrel, receiver, and frame. A Super Epic component is a gold-colored weapon component. The Super Epic component can be for any of the 3 parts so pick whichever suits you and this trophy is yours.
Some Assembly Required – Equip a new Barrel, Receiver and Frame in one Run. Components are modificaGons that upgrade your weapon along your run. The specific weapon component you may receive acer finishing a wave is completely random. There are 3 parts to a component: barrel, receiver, and frame. There are 5 rarity classificaGons of weapon components: Common (green), Very Cool (blue), Epic (purple), Super Epic (gold), and Faulty (red). For this trophy, simply equip any 3 weapon parts that are different from your base weapon no maeer the rarity classificaGon in a single run. This can be throughout all 3 biomes so don’t worry if you don’t receive all 3 parts in a single biome.
Hard Socware – Buy an Upgrade.
Upgrades can be found in the main menu on the right tab. These upgrades unlike mods/weapon components in game, are hardstuck with your player and carry over through all of your progress. Simply buy your first upgrade and this trophy is yours.
Modular DominaGon – Equip 100 Mods.
This trophy is obtained by equipping 100 mods throughout your Pilgrimage career. Mods are the blue stones that give you different boosts on your biome runs and they look like blue crystals. You will see these acer finishing a wave but do keep in mind that you may not get a mod acer every wave as it’s randomized.
Bullseye – Destroy a Vehicle by hibng its Weak Spot.
Every vehicle you come across in Gazzlers will have a weak spot. These weak spots are easily idenGfiable by being the yellow part on the vehicle itself. A very simple way to get this trophy is to damage a vehicle to where it is very low then once its HP is almost depleted, simply shoot its weak spot and it will instakill them. It’s also important to note that weak spots are overall very useful targets to look out for as the shots you hit there will deal much higher damage than just ordinarily shooGng wherever else on the vehicle.
Can’t Touch This – Dodge 25 projecGles without gebng hit.
While playing Gazzlers, you will most likely be used to blocking bullets with your shield in order to avoid damage. But you can also fully dodge bullets without even acGvaGng your shield! It does take pracGce to perfect especially on the higher difficulGes since you’ll get shot from most angles there but this trophy can be easily done on the Easy difficulty. On the first biome allow for the 1-2 Gazzlers on the motorcycle(s) to shoot at your way and simply Glt/move your head out of the way in order to avoid their shots. Once you’ve dodged 25 of the bullets without taking damage, this trophy will be yours. Side note: dodging is very effecGve to learn and will benefit you as you reach the Temple of the Machine God!

Stormtrooper – Miss 10,000 shots.
This trophy requires you to miss 10,000 bullets you shoot from your gun. You’ll most likely get this along your journey to PlaGnum by just playing and missing moving enemies. etc.
10,000 – Score 10,000 Points in a single Pilgrimage.
See the trophy, ‘100,000’
Moderate – Equip 10 Mods in a single Run.
Mods are the blue crystals that you may come across acer finishing a wave. Their spawn rate is completely random and you may get one you’ve already had or one that is completely new to you. For this trophy, you’ll need to acquire 10 mods throughout a single pilgrimage run. Since there are 6 waves in each biome and 3 biomes total, you’ll have plenty Gmes of being able to get this done in a single run especially if you are making it to endgame.
That’s a Lot of Damage – Deal 2,000 Damage in 1 hit.
This may be one of the final trophies you have in the game or if you’re lucky, it popped for you randomly without even noGcing. This trophy isn’t inherently difficult but it’s extremely luckbased since in order to deal 2,000 damage, you may get the right weapon components and mods to do so. I’ve listed below the loadout that best helped me aeain this trophy but I’m sure it can be done in other ways with different weapon components and mods.
The guaranteed way of gebng this is to acquire the Slow N’ Steady frame weapon component. This basically turns your gun into a one shot sniper and it deals the highest damage than any other bullet. You’ll want to have this equipped along with padding your run with mods that are specific to raising your damage like Bumper Puncher and Hyper Can. There is one mod that I’d also highly recommend and that is the Make It Count mod. This mod allows for the last bullet in your clip to deal double damage making the Slow N’ Steady paired with it even more effecGve while shooGng a weak spot.
I’ve listed the recommended loadout below:
🗡️Slow N’ Steady
weapon component
🗡️Make It Count
mod
🗡️Bumper Puncher
mod
🗡️Hyper Can
mod
If you have the scrap to spare and are having trouble with this trophy then I definitely recommend to max out your ‘Weak Spot Damage Dealt’ upgrade in the Upgrades tab in the main menu.
Mobile Warning – Have 5 enemies on fire at the same.
This trophy is achieved by having 5 enemies on fire all at once. You may get this naturally while playing but if not, a very easy way to get this is by using the Blaze Baller weapon component (pictured below). This weapon component shoots fire balls and will deal fire damage to enemies that are in/on vehicles. The difficulty in this trophy only lies in gebng the weapon component to
spawn acer a wave so just make sure to be on the lookout whenever it does appear for you. Do note that this trophy does not mean you need 5 vehicles on fire, just 5 enemies. The reason this is quite easy is because on most vehicles there tends to be 2-5 enemies on it anyway so you can just shoot 1-2 vehicles where the enemy count totals to at least 5 and this trophy is yours.
That’s No Scrap – Earn 5 gold medals in a single Run.
Medals are awarded at the end of each run whether you successfully reach the Temple of the Machine God (finishing the enGre Pilgrimage) or dying out in a wave. There are 3 types of disGncGons for medals: bronze, silver, and gold. They are awarded in the following ways:
- Damage Dealt
- – Bullets Blocked
- – Bullets Dodged
- – Gazzler Kills
- – Balloons Destroyed
- – Items Equipped
There is not an in-game tracker to see how many of each you’ve done so far so best recommendaGon is to have a great run where you aim to fulfill all of them. There is no difficulty requirement either for this trophy so feel free to take your Gme with this in order to achieve it.
Badoomed – Defeat the Badoomer.
The Badoomer is the boss you’ll encounter in the boss round of the first biome (wave 6). It is a big monster truck that has a big health bar as all of the other bosses do. The Badoomer is capable of shooGng both bullets as well as rockets as you. Bullets can be blocked and dodged but rockets cannot so make sure to shoot them out of the sky as they are coming to you. You can block rockets but it’s not recommended as rockets will immediately send your shield into a cooldown rendering it unusable Gll it recharges. Normal bullets you fire to the truck will hurt it but its always recommended like with other enemies to shoot it in its weak spot. Its weak spot lies totally exposed and it’s the big yellow engine sGcking out the hood of the car which should make you taking it down no problem.
Caught the Bus – Defeat the Bang Bang Bus.
The Bang Bang Bus is the boss you’ll encounter in the boss round of the second biome (wave 6). It is a train-like bus that shoots a very aggressive pletehora of bullets in different shapes while also being able to fire mulGple rounds of rockets. Bullets can be blocked and dodged but rockets cannot so make sure to shoot them out of the sky as they are coming to you. You can block rockets but it’s not recommended as rockets will immediately send your shield into a cooldown rendering it unusable Gll it recharges. Normal bullets you fire to the bus will hurt it but its always recommended like with other enemies to shoot it in its weak spot. Its weak spot is the very front grille which will open up periodically and will be highlighted in yellow so be sure to shoot it to defeat it quicker.
It’s So Big – Defeat Big Wheelus.
Big Wheelus is the boss you’ll encounter in the boss round of the third and final biome (wave 6). It is a big wheel that rolls towards you with Gazzler gunners on each side. It has the ability to not only shoot bullets but can also deploy Gazzler explosive balls at you so be sure to shoot them before they hit as they can deal serious explosive damage to you. A big Gp for Big Wheelus and all enemies in the third biome since they are affected by it as well is to shoot the green canisters on the sides of the road/rock walls. These green canisters are a sort of toxic gas that will emit into the air and enemies exposed by it will be in a much weaker state. You’ll know they are affected by the gas when their health bars turn fully green instead of the usual red. Bullets that you shoot at enemies and in this case, Big Wheelus will rapidly damage them much faster than your normal bullets would so take advantage of these when you ride past them. Big Wheelus’ weak spot is the glowing yellow ball in its center which will be exposed at Gmes while it rolls towards you. Having Big Wheelus affected by the green toxic gas and hit in its weak spot will greatly damage and ulGmately defeat it awarding you this trophy.

Welcome to the Crystal Salts – Visit the Crystal Salts.
The Crystal Salts are the second biome in the game. You’ll simply unlock this upon teleporGng here acer defeaGng the boss wave of the first biome.
Welcome to the Unclean Ravine – Visit the Unclean Ravine.
The Unclean Ravine is the third biome in the game. You’ll simply unlock this upon teleporGng here acer defeaGng the boss wave of the second biome.
Mr. Worldwide – Teleport 50 times.
This trophy will unlock over Gme by just compleGng many long runs. The best way to get this is to play on Easy difficulty, equip good aeachments that will destroy enemies quick, and mods that will increase your health/shield so you can last long. You will see the teleporter 3 Gmes in a successful run (acer the first biome boss wave, acer the second biome boss wave, and acer the third biome boss wave).
Timed Terror – Destroy 3 Vehicles within 5 seconds.
A quick way to get this is in the first biome with the motorcycle and truck Gazzlers. They will ocen Gmes be grouped up together so it’s best to damage them all unGl they are each one shot then once you are ready, finish them all quickly so the trophy pops. An alternaGve way to get this is by picking up the rocket weapon component and blast the Gazzlers while they are together or in a somewhat close radius since it can ocen 1-2 shot them.
Trait Yourself – Have 5 active Traits.
Traits are unique abiliGes that can assist you on your run. These traits are only linked to Epic (purple) and Super Epic (gold) status weapon components and mods so you’ll want to pick these up when they come by. The Epics tend to have 1 trait but the Super Epics tend to have 2Some of these could be linked to health, damage, etc. (for example, 20% explosive damage) This trophy can be very RNG since the drops acer each round may or may not be Epic or Super Epic with traits. It’s best recommended that if you don’t come across any traits at all within your first biome then to just restart a fresh run to see if you can get good item drops. Simply have 5 of these acGve throughout your run and this trophy will pop for you.
Big Whoop – Defeat Turbo Big Wheelus
In order to unlock the Turbo version of the boss, you must select the Turbo doll mod just before the boss wave (acer compleGng the 5th round). Since the spawn rate of this doll is highly RNG, it’s best to try not selecGng the Turbo doll any Gme before the boss round. If you are having trouble with this one then give Nightmare a difficulty a try since you are more likely to run into Turbo drop rates there though do keep in mind it is very intense.
Chunky – Get more than 150 HP Max in a single Run.
The main focus to get more than 150 HP is by upgrading your base HP in the Upgrades secGon in the main menu tab but also to pick up mods that boost HP during your run such as ‘+10% HP’, etc. Both of these in combinaGon will make your HP significantly greater which will also help you make longer runs for late game.
For the Machine God! – Complete the Pilgrimage of Steel.
This trophy is awarded through finishing the entire full Pilgrimage run which is all 3 biomes totaling 24 waves (6 in each biome).
Locked ‘n Loaded – Have 5 Very Epic items equipped at the same time.
This trophy can be obtained by equipping 5 Very Epic items (gold) all in a single run. These are not just limited to weapon components but can be mods that you pick up. These items are seemingly the best in the game and they mostly provide traits which will help you get obtain the ‘Trait Yourself’ trophy
100,000 – Score 100,000 Points in a single Pilgrimage.
This trophy is achieved by scoring 100,000 points on the leaderboard. Leaderboards are broken up by difficulty so this can be achieved on any one of your choosing. Points are achieved through scrap and you aeain scrap through killing enemies and shooGng scrap balloons. If you are having trouble with scoring more points, try to select mods that raise the percentage of scrap you collect. Also, purchasing the scrap specific upgrades at the main menu well help this go by much faster.
