Guide to unlocking trophies in Sleeping Dogs, including Sharpshooter, Case Closed, Mr. Nice Guy, and Martial Law.
Walkthrough
- 1Armored Truck Delivery (Trophy Not Specified): Use the action hijack to take control of armored trucks. Use the directional ram to disable them, as they are too heavy to outrun. Deliver the truck to the triad pick-up (marked in orange on your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) to collect your reward. This activity is not available during missions or side-missions. Delivering five trucks earns a trophy. Initial deliveries yield HK$110,000 total, increasing to HK$55,000 per truck with higher police response (up to level 5 Heat).
- 223 Sharpshooter [Bronze / 25G]: Shoot out a cop's tires during a police chase while carrying a firearm. While driving, press L1 to enter slow-motion aiming and R1 to fire. For targets behind you, hold the right stick down for a rear view, then hold L1 for reverse aiming. This can be achieved during the Payback mission or in free roam (the open-world mode where you move and play without an active mission) with a wanted rating (and a gun). Lockbox collectibles can contain a pistol, or you can disarm a cop at Heat level 2. The Gold .50 Calibre Pistol is permanently available in safehouses after completing the story (post-October 2012 update).
- 324 Case Closed [Silver / 30G]: Complete all four police cases, indicated by dark blue map markers.
- 425 Mr. Nice Guy* [Silver / 30G]: Complete all thirty-six favors, indicated by yellow map markers. This also awards a substantial amount of Face XP. The five dating side-missions count towards this total.
- 526 Event Driven [Bronze / 20G]: Complete half of the open-world events.
- 627 Event Planner [Bronze / 15G]: Complete all 28 open-world events, which include seventeen drug busts and eleven scripted scenes that appear on your minimap when nearby.
- 728 Martial Law [Bronze / 15G] [hidden]: Defeat all four Martial Arts Clubs (fight club tournaments). This awards cash and four movie-inspired outfits.
- 829 Wei of the Road [Bronze / 15G]: Win all seventeen standard edition street races. The first few are part of the second police case, more unlock with vehicle purchases, and the last two are unlocked via Sandra's dating side-mission. The Definitive Edition includes three additional DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch) races for a total of twenty.
- 930 Ultimate Fighter* [Bronze / 15G]: Unlock ten triad upgrades by reaching Triad Level 10 and selecting ten perks from the triad upgrades tree. Triad XP is gained from story missions; certain clothing combinations increase XP gain. Avoid using buffs on 'Listening In' and 'Chain Of Evidence' missions as they only give Cop XP.
- 1031 Super Cop* [Bronze / 15G]: Unlock ten cop upgrades by reaching Cop Level 10. Cop XP is gained from story missions, drug busts, and cases. Certain clothing combinations increase XP gain. The Police Inspector Bonus set (+15% Cop XP) can be bought at Face Level 6 for drug busts.
- 1132 North Point Scavenger [Bronze / 20G]: Unlock every lockbox in North Point (forty total).
- 1233 Central Scavenger [Bronze / 20G]: Unlock every lockbox in Central (thirty total).
- 1334 West End Scavenger* [Bronze / 20G]: Unlock every lockbox in Kennedy Town and Aberdeen (fifteen each). Completing Ilyana's dating side-mission marks all lockboxes on your maps.
