Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart has a pretty easy platinum trophy to obtain, although there are a few pesky accolades that require a little more work to obtain. Many of these are related to specific weapons, asking you to kill enemies in a certain way or make use of alternate firing methods that would otherwise go unexplored.
Out of all the game’s trophies, Return Policy is arguably one of the most finicky, asking you to use a weapon in a certain way while also ensuring it is fully upgraded to wipe out foes in only a few short bursts. To make things nice and simple, we’ve compiled a short guide on how to obtain the Return Policy trophy in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart so you’re one step closer to obtaining the elusive platinum trophy.

How To Earn The Return Policy Trophy In Ratchet And Clank Rift Apart
Unless you’re making regular use of the Void Repulsor throughout the main campaign, you’ll likely be left to earn its trophy once the credit has rolled, or right before entering the final showdown against Emperor Nefarious. But have no fear – there’s plenty of planets and encounters to find that are perfectly suited to grinding out this particular achievement. The goal is simple – kill 10 enemies with attacks deflected using said weapon.
Firstly, head over to a storefront and check to see if the Void Repulsor is sufficiently upgraded. You will need to have ascended it to a certain level to change its original name and ensure it is capable of sucking up attacks and returning them to sender – since you’ll need to kill ten enemies with their own projectiles to earn the trophy.
If you have the resources to spare, and you likely do this close to the endgame, just pour all of them into the Void Repulsor until it’s fully upgraded. Now it’s supremely powerful, and has all the extra bells and whistles you’ll need to deflect attacks. In terms of finding hordes of enemies to grind in service of the trophy, I’d recommend the bronze arena match against Pierre’s crew in Zurkie’s Bar.
This wave-based battle has a number of enemies who fire projectiles at you which can easily be caught with the Void Repulsor’s shield and fired back at them for an instant kill. Sadly, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by melee-based minions when trying to pull off attacks, so be careful and ensure you’re continually strafing around the arena.
Distance is also important. If you gather enemy attacks and return them while too close to them, the blast from the weapon will kill them as opposed to the projectiles. This won’t count towards the trophy unlock progress, so maintain a sizable distance away from those you’re trying to kill. Once you’ve nailed this approach, it is simply a battle of attrition.
Alternatively, the flies on Sargasso that spit acid at Rivet are excellent candidates for the Return Policy trophy. However, they don’t respawn once killed, so you’ll need to reload your checkpoint a handful of times and keep firing away until the trophy is earned. Once again, distance is key, nothing is bugged, just make sure you’re standing far enough away when pulling the trigger.
