Tips for Trophy Completion

1. Use “Thank You, Come Again” for Easy Challenges

  • This mission has few suspects and a simple layout, making it ideal for completing trophies like By the Book, The Tactician, and Off Duty.

2. Rely on the Mirrorgun

  • Always equip the Mirror Wand to safely check for traps and suspects behind doors. It’s essential for bomb-defusal trophies and helps avoid surprises.

3. Prioritize Arrests for Higher Ranks

  • To earn C+ or S ranks, focus on arresting suspects instead of killing them. Avoid civilian casualties, secure evidence, and prevent officer deaths.

4. Play It Safe in Ironman Mode

  • In Commander Mode, leave AI squadmates at the spawn to protect them. Solo missions carefully using shields, flashbangs, and non-lethal tactics.

5. Cycle Officers to Unlock All Traits

  • For The Emperor, fire and rehire officers until all 12 unique traits are unlocked. This can be done entirely from HQ.

6. Match Missions with Gear-Based Trophies

  • Certain trophies (like Way Out West or Toxic Fumes) require specific loadouts. Equip only the required gear before starting those missions to avoid invalidating the trophy.
