Troubleshooting: If You Can't Obtain the Gun Fanatic Trophy
Move Bonus Weapons to Inventory
If you have all the weapons but still can't get the trophy, try moving the bonus weapons from the warehouse to your inventory. Simply purchasing them isn't enough; they must be in your attaché case.
Take note that bonus weapons obtained from the extra content shop will not be considered obtained just by exchanging them.
How to Access the Warehouse
To retrieve weapons from the warehouse, select "Equip/Unequip" at save points. Bonus weapons purchased will be stored there and can be moved to your attaché case.
Don't Overlook Shop Weapons
Another reason you might not get the trophy is if you've forgotten to buy weapons available in the shop. Make sure to check for any weapons you might have missed.
How to Check for Missed Weapons
You can verify which weapons you've obtained through the figures in the extra content shop. If any are missing, go back to the chapters where they can be found.
