Trophy Description:Achieve CEO ranking on all combat levels on hard difficulty.
Bronze Trophy.
You will receive a ranking, based on points at the end of each chapter. CEO is the highest possible ranking. Hard difficulty is available from the beginning on. There are just 15 chapters out of 20 that need to be completed with CEO ranking and on hard difficulty. You can do this via chapter select, there is no need to start a new campaign.

Your performance is judged based on the following:

Accuracy - Make sure you hit your targets and don't shoot around for fun
Headshots - While the DART Overlay is active you can easily score some headshots
Breaches - The more Breaches you use, the more points you get. Hold down L2 when the Breach ability is selected and you are targeting an enemy. Breach Spikes are worth more points than normal breaches.
Rampage - You have to kill lots of enemies in a short time. The maximum amount of points you can get is 100,000 for killing 10 enemies in a row quickly. Whenever you see lots of enemies try to build up a good rampage bonus. It's one of the best sources for fast and easy points.
Adrenaline - You build up Adrenaline for special combat actions like getting a rampage bonus. The Adrenaline bonus is displayed at the bottom of the screen, on the left side of the blue circle.
Damage taken - The less you die, the more points you get. If you do not die during a chapter you will be rewarded with 100,000 points. If you die press immediately and reload the last checkpoint. The game won't recognize you dying and you can easily get the 100,000 bonus at the end of the mission.
Completion time - The faster you finish the level, the more points you get. There is no need to rush through to get CEO but you shouldn't wander around for too long. You can collect the business cards if you didn't do it already. You run into most of them anyway and it just takes a second to pick them up.

Recommended Upgrades (in the order you should get them):
1. Toughened - Reduces your damage taken by 20%. Needed to stay alive and a must have for boss fights.
2. Safeguard - Increases your total health by 33%. Needed to stay alive and a must have for boss fights.
3. Synchronize - Increases your DART Overlay duration by 25%. This will be a life saver in tricky situations and you have more time to aim for headshots (additional points for your CEO ranking).
4. Augmented Overlay - 25% more damage dealt and 20% less damage taken while DART Overlay is active. This is useful in boss fights and to take out large groups of enemies quickly.
5. Regeneration Boost - Health regeneration activates 25% faster and regeneration heals 33% faster. Needed to stay alive and useful in any combat situations, especially during boss fights. When your health generates faster you can fight more aggressively which will have a positive effect on the time you need to clear a chapter (bonus points for time).
6. Executioner - Get back 50% of your health for melee executions. Allows you to fight a lot more aggressively and helps to stay alive. It's an effective way to kill enemies quickly but you should keep doing headshots and breaches for their associated bonus points.

8. Regenerative Overlay - Helps you to stay alive and makes your DART Overlay the ultimate weapon for any situation.
9. Dexterous - Lowers the time it takes to reload your weapons.
