Bweep! Bweep! Bweep! Collect half the Blast Shards

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

You can see all the Blast Shards in a area, after you have taken down the Mobile Command of that area. I recomand getting all the shards in 1 area before moving on so you dont miss any. It also boosts ur power, so getting enough early on is great to make the game much easier.

You can get shards a few ways:

• 4 Shards for every Mobile Command
• 1 Shard for every drone you take down
• 1 Shard for every Scannind Station you destroy

Shardcore Collect all the Blast Shards

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

Collect all blast shards that are on the map, just like Bweep! Bweep! Bweep! but there is 1 shard that is locked.

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

Just like Nothing To See Here but now you also need to do them all on the other side of the map.

Inside Track Collect all the Informant Audio Logs

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

This is possible to do before getting Courage.

You need to collect some audio logs, there are 1 or 2 in every area. There is a meter that lets you see how far you are away from the log. All these missions are also visable on the map after destroying the command point.

Blown Cover Defeat all the D.U.P. Secret Agents

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

This is possible to do before getting Courage.

You need to look for the guy in the picture and shoot him. He will run away after the first shot so be fast. Do this for every side-mission of this type in both area’s of the map. All these missions are also visable on the map after destroying the command point.

When you get the neon power i recomand using that because of the slow motion.

Big Brother Destroy all the D.U.P. Hidden Cameras

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

This is possible to do before getting Courage.

You need to do all the Hidden Camera side-missions. There is at least 1 of this type of mission in every area. All these missions are also visable on the map after destroying the command point.

Look at the camera feed to find out where the camera is. When you find it you need to shoot it down to complete it.

Tip: use the camera to see what way you are facing, that way you know where you need to look.

Coloring Inside the Lines Complete all the Stencil Art

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

This is possible to do before getting Courage.

You need to do every spray paint side quest in the map. There are at least 2 of those missions in every area. Its really easy to do with the motion contoles. The painting that you pick will have effect on the karma meter. All these missions are also visable on the map.

Prank Call Complete a District Showdown

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

You can do destrics showdowns after an erea that is contolled by the D.UP. is 30% or less.

Durring this activity you need to defeat a lot of enemies and sometimes helicopters.

Hello Operator Complete Showdowns in half of the districts

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

You will get this while going for Home Field Advantage. Just like that one you will get this if you do everything in the first half of the map before crossing the bridge.

Final Showdown Complete all of the District Showdowns in the city

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

Do every Showdown in the map. You unlock them when the D.U.P. control is below 30%.

One Down Clear the D.U.P. completely out of a district

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

You can get this while doing Prank Call.

You need to do all the side-missions and the showdown, when the area control meter hits 0% the trophy will pop.

Home Field Advantage Clear the D.U.P. out of half the districts in the city

Step 1: Good Playthrough (Blue options)

Clean Sweep Clear the D.U.P. out of the entire city

You need to do all the side missions, showdowns and collect all the blast shardes in the whole map. The last blast shard can only be obtained on the last mission, so you cant unlock this untill after getting Mercy. If you already did all the other stuff in the game you will get Shardcore at the same time.

Total CARnage  Destroy 5 cars in 5 seconds

Shoot rockets in a parking lot where there are lots of cars. If there are only 4 try to find a spot whereyou can also shoot cars on the road.

U can also use the Karmic streak on a road/ parking lot with loads of cars.

Drop Everything Comet Drop over 170 meters

Step 2: post story

Climb the same tower as Keep It Up and instead of floaring there you can use the satalite to boost u a bit higher. Then press to fully drop to the road/street.

If you aimed right you should hit the 170 meters needed.

Keep It Up Stay in the air for more than 45 seconds

Step 2: post story

After you have completed the story you can climb the tower from the final mission. After you are back on top if it you can jump off the tower while using the thrust.

The trophy pops after you hit the ground. Try to time it so you dont fall down back at the bottom because you need to get back up for Drop Everything.

Put That Anywhere Defeat 10 enemies by detonating ammo crates

There are some red crates that are spread out mostly at Mobile Command points and on roofs. Shoot them when there is a enemy close by and then it explodes. Do this with 10 enemies and the trophy is yours.

NOTE: you dont have to do 10 in 1 go, you can do it throughout the whole game.

Hat Trick Defeat an enemy using three different power sources

You can get this trophy after getting Courage. You need to find an enemie that is near all the 3 power sources. it’s smart to shot him with the video power first and then the other 2. This is because the Video power is usually high up on a building. 

If you got the hits in with all the 3 powers (neon, smoke and video) you can kill him.

Note: there is a chance he is going to run away so be cautious for that.

Double Smoke Stack Attack Dash through two red air vents without touching the ground and then Comet Drop on an enemy

This trophy can be hard. You need to dash in an air vents and before touching the ground into another. While in the air you need to do a Comet Drop on an enemy. Its smart to do this during a mission where you can go up 2 airvents closeby. We did it in the mission where you have to follow Hank after the Augutine fight ( Mercy). There is a spot there where you can Dash 2 times.

Cough Drop Comet Drop on three coughing enemies

While using the smoke powers, use to throw a Sulphur Bomb at a group of emenies and then use a Comet Drop on them. You dont have to take them down, only hit them with it. They do need to have the button above their head, that means they are cooughing.

The best places to do this is on the mission where you get the power.

if you didnt get it there you can also do it on a roof with multiple enemies or a drugbust.

Make Fetch Proud Hit three weak points with Neon Beam in 6 seconds

After getting the Neon powers you can get an upgrade that lets you see weak points called “Laser insight”. Hit the 3 blue points on the legs if you do this in the good playthrough. If you do it in the evil playthrough you can headshot them. In evil its a little bit easier, but this is super easy if you also have the “laser focus” upgrade.

Excessive Force Use a Karmic Streak attack to defeat exactly one enemy

You can use the Karmic blast after the mission after you need to climb the Space Needle.

There are 2 good ways to do this:

• on rooftops are usually 2 or 3 enemies, if you kill the first 1 or 2 you can use the blast to kill the last one without any other enemies coming up.
• At scanning stations are also just 2 enemies, you can do the same thing here. But a small warning: there is also a holding cell here, unlock that first. if you don’t you will probably destroy the cage and kill the people in it, this gives you Evil Karma
