You must kill 15 enemies with Marlene's custom assault rifle in a single encounter to unlock the Queen Firefly trophy. No Return is this title's Survival Mode and offers six encounters (rounds) in a single run, but it's worth noting that not every challenge mode in it has an abundance of enemies or ammo for your assault rifle.

Select Marlene from the character selection menu, and the game will give you only 10 bullets at the start of No Surivival. The assault rifle is renowned for being extremely powerful but has an intense recoil that can make you miss most of your shots. It can deal with infected variants, human threats, and even armored Rattlers from a distance.
Tips and tricks to help you achieve the trophy
Regardless of which challenge you start No Return with, enemies will not reach the double-digit marker until you progress deeper into your run. We recommend you after this trophy on the easiest difficulty since it has a much larger spawn rate for ammo and less aggressive enemies.

It is best to try this challenge in a run full of infected enemies since they are less durable and can't attack you from a distance, unlike most WLF, Seraphites, and Rattler enemies.
Note: Cheats and other modifiers can lock you out of the trophy.
Save your ammo in the early rounds, as it can be scarce. To prevent wasting ammo, turn on target lock in the settings. This feature will automatically lock your reticle on a foe and can be effective against those fast on their feet, like stalkers.
If you are low on ammo and only a few enemies short of the trophy, stun them by throwing a brick or bottle or shoot their leg with your handgun to land a clear shot. You can attack foes with melee weapons to stun them and create some distance. This challenge mode is generous, as enemies will drop ammo for whatever you have in your inventory.
We recommend that you save your assault rifle ammo and use other weapons and gadgets to advance to the next round. Use stun bombs to hit a large group, and they will be temporarily immobilized, allowing you to land a few shots.
We strongly suggest you attempt to unlock this trophy during Assault or Holdout. After each round in an Assault encounter, head towards the supply crate and grab more ammo. If you make it to the later encounters in your No Return run, the number of enemies during an Assault challenge will reach a maximum of 15.
This is perfect for this trophy; however, you must check your shots and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

The safest time to attempt this challenge is during Holdout since infected enemies will attack you in droves. It is very easy to shoot at the charging runners, and a few body shots can take them down. If you are stingy with your bullets, aim for the head. While headshots are harder to land than body shots, they can take runners down with one shot.
