Run 3: Chronological Mode on Grounded

A fresh story run with the chapters in the order the events happen, on the hardest difficulty: two trophies at its credits.

Run 3 is the last story run. Chronological mode replays the story with its chapters put in the order the events happen, and Grounded is the hardest difficulty; one run on both should earn Dig Two Graves and I Would Do It All Over Again, both at the credits (see the callout below). Nothing else is left to collect: collectibles count on your profile and run 1 found them, and run 2 finished the upgrades. Chronological mode came with a July 2025 update, so install the latest patch before you start.

If Dig Two Graves doesn't pop

Dig Two Graves should pop at the credits of this run, but that a Chronological run counts for it isn't certain. If it doesn't, play one more story run in the usual chapter order on Grounded: New Game+ keeps your upgrades there, and the combat accessibility options stay allowed. To avoid the risk from the start, plan four runs instead: run 2 as written, then a New Game+ run in the usual order on Grounded, then Chronological mode on any difficulty.

Location
Chronological Mode · Main Menu – From the main menu start a new game, choose Chronological mode and pick Grounded itself, not a Custom difficulty with its sliders set to Grounded. Permadeath isn't offered in this mode, which is why it rode on run 2. Grounded switches off Listen Mode and part of the HUD and makes Supplements and Parts scarce; the combat accessibility options don't block the trophy, and Invisible While Prone above all makes it far easier.

About this guide

Three runs of the story, plus No Return alongside any of them. Run 1, on any difficulty below Grounded, takes every collectible, safe, manual, weapon and workbench; before the last chapter of that run, make a manual save to keep for cleanup. Run 2 is New Game+ on Very Light with Permadeath set to Per Chapter: it finishes the upgrades, which one run doesn't give enough Supplements and Parts for. Run 3 is Chronological mode on Grounded. After the credits, Chapter Select replays a chapter, with limits: the chapter list follows your latest autosave, so replaying an early chapter hides the later ones until you reload the cleanup save, and Supplements and Parts taken on a replay don't count toward the upgrades.
