Nothing is missable as you can use chapter select after beating the game. If you are also using cheats, you will not be hindered at all if you miss something. But to make your life easier this is what you should pay attention to.- Find all Ducks. There are a total of 10 collectible Ducks spread across the game's levels. They are pretty well hidden and small. See
I'm feelin' Ducky for more information.- Find all standard weapons. Search all levels thoroughly to find weapon pickups. Variants can also be purchased from gun shops with gold. Be sure you pick them up to register them. See
I need more Guns for more information.- Upgrade all stats for Sam. Max out all of his available stats/upgrades. This requires collecting enough upgrade materials throughout the game. This isn't as bad as it sounds as all collectable items are farmable. See
Yeah, Buns and Thighs for more information.
( Gun shows are around around each level )↓
( To unlock them you have to shoot a near by red tower to drop the shield )↓
Issues to note:When doing standard kills only direct player damage that reduces the health bar to zero or triggers a finisher counts toward lifetime combat totals.If an enemy is glitched, falls out of bounds, or is killed by geometry/explosive environmental hazards not directly fired by the player, it can occasionally fail to register.For landing a grenade in a roaring T-Rex’s mouth, ensure the combat state is clean and the enemy is fully engaged with the player to guarantee the hit registers properly.

Collectible
Find all standard weaponsYou will come across all of these weapons naturally while playing through missions, and find variants by looking in gun shops throughout missions.Sam Judge has access to a massive arsenal inspired by retro boomer shooters like Turok and Serious Sam. The game thrives on weapon variants, giving you multiple versions of the same core gun types as you progress.The full weapon wheel breaks down into these distinct categories and variants:Revolver / Deagle: Your starting weapon category fitting Sam’s Sheriff theme. You unlock upgraded versions later that boast faster fire rates and higher stopping power.Shotguns: The absolute bread and butter for a trophy hunter. You start with a standard shotgun and eventually unlock two heavier variation a double-barrel. These are crucial for the 200-limb dismemberment requirement due to their high close range gib potential.Machine Guns: Fast-firing rifles designed to handle packs of smaller, agile enemies like Raptors.Miniguns: Heavy, spin-up automatic weapons. Perfect for sustained damage against larger bullet-sponges, though they suffer from a slight wind-up time and aggressive movement vibration.Grenade Launcher: Fires arching explosives. This is the mandatory tool required for the specific combat challenge where you must shoot a grenade directly into a standard T-Rex's mouth while it roars.Rocket Launcher: The undisputed king of boss fights. As mentioned across multiple level strategies (like the Mosasaurus, Tyfonasaurus, and the Collector), this weapon completely trivializes major encounters by melting health bars before bosses can execute their full movesets.Bound to their own dedicated button
separate from the weapon wheel, Sam has access to infinite-use tactical options managed by a short cooldown:Dynamite: Your standard high-damage throw-able for clearing out tightly packed enemy groups.Time Grenade: A utility throw-able that creates a localized slow-motion field, making it incredibly easy to freeze fast-moving dinosaurs in place before tearing into them with heavy weapons.

Judgement Day
Grindy
Judgement kill 50 enemiesA "Judgement" is a cinematic, brutal finishing move (similar to "Glory Kills" in Doom 2016) that you perform on weakened enemies. You must actively seek out and execute this move. Damage an enemy until they are heavily glowing (red) indicating they are ready for a finisher. Get close to the enemy, and press the on-screen prompt button (R3) to trigger the Judgement animation. Focus on using Judgements frequently, even on small enemies like Raptors. 'Finishers' grant health or ammo drops, making them a useful part of the combat loop making it easy to earn this trophy quickly.
You yee'd your last Haw

Kill 300 enemiesAll enemy types count toward this total, so you should unlock it naturally during a normal playthrough.
Chopped
Grindy
Blow off 200 limbsEmbrace the gore. To unlock this, you must blow off or sever 200 body parts arms, legs, wings, and tails all count from any enemy type throughout the campaign.The best weapons for this are the Shotguns (double barrel works best of the two), Grenade Launcher, and TNT.Focus fire on the limbs rather than the body or the head. Raptors, humanoid enemies, and smaller creatures are easier to dismember. If you finish the game and still haven't unlocked this, you can replay the early levels (Levels 1 and 2) via the level select feature where the smaller, softer bodied enemies are plentiful, using your fully upgraded shotgun.
All that running is good for your Buns and Thighs

Honey in the level Jungle, right at the start after you pick up your boots there will be honey on the back wall.Satchels in the level Wasteland, from the start run forward until you get to the first gate, go through it, and on the left hand side in the back is a satchel. (This one takes the longest to farm because the next campfire you find is deeper in the level.)Chicken in the level Alien City, from the start a chicken will be the first thing to spawn in.
( Camp fires are where you can use any collected items )↓
Hey there Puppy
Story
Defeat the Vrontisaurus RexLevel 1 Final Boss: Vrontisaurus RexThis massive, T-Rex predator serves as a test of your mobility and aggressive positioning. Its moveset primarily consists of electric projectiles, bites, and powerful stomps. To beat it, constantly circle the boss to stay clear of its electric attacks and unload with the grenade launcher you picked up just before entering the arena.
Come at me Spikey
Story
Defeat the Elosaurus GenitrixLevel 2 Final Boss: Elosaurus GenitrixThe Spinosaurus relies on close-range swipes and area-denial attacks, summoning both toxic and earthy projectiles. To counter this, stay highly mobile by utilizing dashes and double-jumps and the trees. Heavy ordnance like the grenade launcher, rocket launcher, or shotguns will make quick work of him.
No more Parting Waters for you
Story
Defeat the MosasaurusLevel 3 Final Boss: MosasaurusThis entire fight takes place in a watery arena. While the Mosasaurus can use bites, sweeping attacks, and projectiles like previous bosses, it is arguably the weakest boss in the game. If you use your rocket launcher, you can easily melt its health bar before it even gets a chance to attack. Otherwise, just keep moving and stay away from its mouth.
I'm gettting Hungry looking at those Wings
Story
Defeat the TyfonasaurusLevel 4 Final Boss: TyfonasaurusThe Tyfonasaurus primarily relies on swooping claw strikes, ground slams, and long-range projectiles. To stay safe, remain constantly on the move, utilizing double-jumps and strafes to dodge its aerial attacks. Much like the previous Mosasaurus fight, you can trivialize this encounter by unloading your rocket launcher, melting its health bar before it even gets a chance to attack.
I thought this was a Dinosaur Game?
Story
Defeat the Drakosaurus RexLevel 5 Final Boss: Drakosaurus RexThe Drakosaurus Rex is a larger, more menacing evolution of the T-Rex mixed with a fire breathing dragon. The fight requires maximum utilization of your movement and double-jump to avoid its heavy-hitting attacks, ground slams, and potential ranged fire attacks. The Drakosaurus Rex is a massive damage sponge, unless you are using your highest-damage weapons rocket launcher or plasma rifle then you can just lay it out in seconds.

Story
Defeat the CollectorLevel 6 Final Boss: CollectorThe Collector is a highly armored, technologically enhanced alien. Its main offensive options include firing plasma blasts from its hands and summoning orbital projectiles to rain down on the arena. Continuous movement and double-jumping are essential to avoid its area-of-effect (AoE) attacks and heavy ranged fire. But just like with previous bosses, the rocket launcher is your best friend here use it to tear through its health bar quickly.
I'm feelin' Ducky
Find all DucksThere are 10 Ducks hidden across the various levels of the game. These collectibles are tucked away in obscure corners, behind scenery, or at the end of optional platforming paths. Since the game has large levels and the "Ducks" are small, finding them requires thorough exploration.Level 1 (Jungle): There are two ducks in this level. Duck 1 is found after a massive, long drop downward. Duck 2 is located near a large structure with pillars.Level 2 (Swamp): There are two ducks here as well. Duck 3 is hidden in the jungle area, and Duck 4 is located near a rocky wall/cavern edge.Level 3 (Beach): Duck 5 is situated right at the beginning of the level, near the water. Duck 6 is hidden in an elevated area near the end of the beach section.Level 4 (Maze): There are two ducks in the maze. Duck 7 is tucked away in the maze structure, and Duck 8 is located past a vertical climbing/drop sequence.Level 5 (Wasteland): Duck 9 is hidden in the open rocky landscape, prior to the level's boss fight.Level 6 (Alien City): Duck 10 is hidden among the alien structures. All duck locations video:

Dino-Nuggets
Launch a grenade into a T-Rex's mouthThis challenge demands precise timing and positioning, but it can be done against any standard T-Rex you encounter. These large predators appear frequently throughout the game, with the first guaranteed opportunity arriving in Level 2 (Swamp) in a cave system, during an encounter with multiple T-Rexes. To successfully land a grenade launcher shot inside its mouth, keep your distance to bait out a series of attacks. Once the sequence ends, the T-Rex will pause to roar this is your window to fire directly into its open jaws.Ensure the combat state is clean and the enemy is fully engaged with the player to guarantee the hit registers properly.
