Play on Assisted Difficulty

Sprinter_Assist

To complete the game within 8 hours, it's recommended to play on Assisted difficulty. Higher difficulties have tougher enemies and more complex challenges, so if you aim for a quick completion, choose the Assisted setting.

Use Playthrough Data with Upgraded Weapons

Sprinter_Clear Data

For a speedier playthrough, use saved game data with upgraded weapons. Carrying over advanced gear and treasures lets you defeat enemies quickly and progress more smoothly.

If You Fail, Return to the Title Screen and Start Over

Sprinter_Restart

If you get a GAME OVER, don't hit Continue. Instead, go back to the title screen and start anew. This ensures that the time you spent failing isn't added to your total playtime.

Sprinter Shotgun

To earn the Sprinter trophy, make the Shotgun your go-to weapon for crowd control. The aim is not to kill every enemy but to intimidate them, making it easier to pass by.

Sprinter Rocket Launcher

For tough bosses like Ramon Salazar and Saddler, a Rocket Launcher is highly effective. On Assisted difficulty, you can buy one for 50,000 points. With treasures saved in your playthrough, affording this won't be an issue.

Conditions for Obtaining Sprinter

Complete the Game Within 8 Hours

Sprinter

To earn the Sprinter trophy, you must complete the game in under 8 hours. Skipping cutscenes and evading unnecessary enemies can help you achieve this.

Difficulty and Bonus Weapons Don't Matter

Your choice of difficulty and weapons doesn't affect earning the Sprinter trophy. So, if you're unsure, just start on the lowest difficulty and use any powerful gear or bonuses you've collected.
