RAGE 2 - Authority Headquaters + Ending (Ironman Mode)
0Trophy: Heavy Boots
Description: Complete the game in Ironman Mode
Ironman Mode is the new permadeath which is popping up in a number of games lately including RAGE 2. This mode requires you to complete the game without dying. The game will continue to auto save at checkpoints, so you can exit and backup your save file to the Cloud / USB key etc. However if you die the game will delete your save file and you start at the beginning.
You can not transfer any progress, weapons, vehicles, upgrades etc. into Ironman Mode you start at the very beginning and it's recommended playing on the easiest difficulty to reduce the chances of dying.
During this play-through I ran into a game breaking bug with the final Project Dagger mission. As soon as this mission became active I exited the game and backed up my save file and when I returned the Project Dagger mission was no longer active and I couldn't progress any further, I was 19hrs into that play-through. The only solution I found in the forums was to "restart the game". Before doing this I tried a few things and discovered that I still had a save file from my previous play-through in Ultra Nightmare mode, I had saved at the final boss. I had already loaded my Ironman Mode file and then went to the menu and loaded this Ultra Nightmare save and then selected Abandon Mission and it respawned me outside of the Authority Headquaters in Ironman mode. From here I had ALL my weapons, vehicles, upgrades etc. I dropped the difficulty back down to easiest and then successfully finished the game and get the trophy as shown in this video. This is why I have all weapons (including DLC weapons), vehicles and upgrades etc.
I was able to replicate this everytime and even with a brand new Ironman Mode file which you can see in my other RAGE 2 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Dgd1CZU1w
I am not sure if this will work for everyone or was just a bug which I experienced?
If this works for everyone then you could potentially setup a save file at the same point I did and then skip 95% of the Ironman Mode play-through.
