DLC #75 - Assassin's Creed : Revelations Multiplayer Map Pack

Jump into a Map Attack

Where the previous Character packs trophies had an emphasis around new character skins, this package has an emphasis on the 6 new maps introduced to the online Multiplayer component.

The playlists for the new maps are actually quite sparse at this point in the game's life cycle, so something as simple as finding a session with enough people still playing with the DLC maps is half the battle.

This is what makes the training mode such a valuable component of the game, a mode which will allow you to walk around any map with a limitless timer and kill computer controlled targets. This will actually unlock any of the trophies in the list, and subsequently makes it a very easy selection of trophies to collect.

However, if you do want a legitimate challenge, then the criteria for each of the 6 new trophies is very similar to the Character pack, and, just in the same way, whilst there are some very easy trophies to obtain, such as staying blended for 3 minutes, performing 3 stuns without dying and performing 5 leaps of faith, there are a few trickier trophies bundled into the package;

The Spice of Life - Obtain 2 Variety bonuses during a session in Firenze
Straw Hat - Perform 2 kills from Haystacks during a session in San Donato

Earning 2 variety bonuses will require you to achieve both a variety and greater variety bonus within a single session, both of which are earned at 5 and 10 unique individual bonuses respectively. If you've ever achieved, or at least attempted, the "Abstergo Employee of the Month" trophy from Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood, then you'll know exactly how to go about this trophy. That said, 10 bonuses won't just come with luck, and it's best to have a methodical list ready with which 10 bonuses are the most realistically achievable, and then pick them off 1 by 1. You will only get 10 minutes at a maximum though, so it's important to work through the list of bonuses quickly and efficiently, and it definitely works in your favour to try and find opportunities to chain together bonuses into single kills.

Performing 2 kills from Haystacks is only tricky simply for the reason the trophy is out of the players control. You literally have to just lie in wait and hope your target walks close enough to you to be able to kill them, and the player influence on the trophy is practically non-existent, meaning it just becomes a waiting game as to whether or not you can find yourself in a situation to kill your target from the cover of the haystack. Once would have been tough enough, but twice in a single session boils down to a large amounts of luck and you may find yourself chasing this one for a while. It's more frustrating than it is difficult, but still stands out as one of the tougher to earn trophies in the list.

It's difficult to nail a completion time onto this list, especially when you consider the amount of time you could spend trying to get into sessions using the DLC maps. Most of the trophies are really easy to achieve and can be done in minutes, it's just a matter of getting over that initial barrier of actually being in a competitive session using the DLC and being able to unlock the trophies for playing on specific DLC maps. The tougher trophies will definitely take longer and offer a spike in difficulty to the package, and you can probably unlock all trophies within 8-10 hours, though that is a very loose estimate.
