DLC #74 - Assassin's Creed : Revelations Multiplayer Character Pack

Get a skin-full of some Multiplayer DLC
The first of the Revelations DLC adds 4 new character skins for the Multiplayer portion of the game, along with 4 additional trophies, each catered towards the 4 new playable characters.

The most important thing to note before the mention of any trophy is that you'll need to reach level 20 online before you can actually unlock all of the trophies within this list, which means if you want a package that you can just jump into and grab some quick and easy trophies, you're going to be disappointed.

Infact, 3 of the 4 trophies require you to use specific weapons and abilities that can only be accessed at certain levels (Bodyguard at level 15, Hidden Gun at level 17 and Charge at level 20), but if you're going through this list after the Platinum, then you'll be able to purchase them straight away and head into the online mode in an attempt to unlock them, given the fact the main list contains a trophy that requires you to hit level 20.

As for the list itself, every trophy requires you to perform a certain action using each of the 4 new character skins within the package. It can sometimes be tricky to get into the relevant game mode with the relevant character skin, especially when you consider the lower activity of the online mode and the fact that some game modes will only allow 1 person to use a specific skin. However, there are some trophies that are definitely harder than others;

Stopped Dead - Obtain 3 Hidden Gun kills during a session of Steal the Artefact as the Corsair
The Vulture - Obtain 5 Ground Finish bonuses in Manhunt during a session as the Brigand
Obtaining 3 Hidden Gun kills in a game like Steal the Artefact is tricky simply for the reason that everybody in the game is after 1 target, and the opportunities to make a kill are limited as a result, especially in comparison to modes like Manhunt and Deathmatch. When you also factor in the 70 second cooldown time of the Hidden Gun ability once it has been used, it makes chances even more limited to score the 3 kills needed across the 10 minute match timer when a third of that time is required simply for the cooldown period. Prepare for multiple attempts as you find out you just didn't have enough time left to grab the 3 kills needed for the trophy.

"The Vulture" trophy is noted for similar reasons, and even though this is much easier to achieve in a team Wanted match, only the leader of the party can choose the character skin of the entire team, which can be a very lengthy process to wait upon. It's much faster to get into a Free-For-All Wanted game, select the Brigand and go to work, but 5 ground finishes in a single game can be a tall order, especially when you consider you will always have another player hunting you down. It's useful to keep track of how many enemies are allocated to your opponent and then just poach for the ground finish, but you may just find out on multiple occasions that 10 minutes just isn't enough time to get all 5, so it's just a matter of sticking at it and persevering.

Despite the difficulties, you can realistically unlock all 4 trophies within 5-6 hours, and although the Multiplayer mechanics can be borderline frustrating at times, the trophies are easily achievable with the right tactics, even though you may need more than a few attempts to nail the trophy requirements.
