Spoiler question about the body.

[gamecrazyaj]

I got to know. What would happen if you take that suggestion to lie about the serial numbers on the boots?

[ahueonao]

if you want to take the boots, the "correct" option is to omit the boots from the report entirely. If you keep the boots and the correct serial number on the report, you'll be able to ask the station (through kim's car radio) to run a check on them, and you'll gain some info about the victim's identity after a day or two (i don't think you can get this information through other ways). but if you do that, i'm not sure you're even able to attempt to steal the boots, and if you do, then the station will know you stole evidence, which might bite you in the ass later.
If, on the other hand, you mention the boots but give a wrong serial number, you'll probably get the worst of both worlds - the station will know about the boots so you can't safely steal them, but they have the wrong serial number so they can't run a check on them.

Ah so that is if you want the achievement.

i haven't gotten the boots, but yeah they're probably not worth the trouble beyond the achievement. their stats are average, you can't sell them (Roy won't deal with merc armor, and has no money to pay for it anyway) and the thought you get from trying them on is the same you get from any of the other, much easier to get, parts of the armor.

Thanks. I was wondering if there is more going on that lying about the number would expose something.

The station won't know as long as you omit the boots from the report. You can still get the serial number from the radio and get the boots. Kim will know though, so you'll probably get some reputation towards "bad cop" or "corrupt cop".

But they're shiny! @o@

So is it fair to say that omitting the boots when filling out the form, stealing them, and running the number through Alice is the most beneficial scenario?

If I recall correctly, first off you need to go to the book store and get access to the basement of the building the store connects to. This will give you access to the freezer, so Kim does not take the body after examining it. Then get the room at night, go up so Kim says goodnight, and go back for the greaves.

People keep saying "boots", but it´s the full greaves pieces. Therefor it´s not true that their only pourpose it´s the achievement, along the other pieces they can unlock a special though and it will provide a better chance of getting a good result on the shoot out of day 4.
