Robocop Collectibles Guide

This is an attempt to list all collectibles and secrets obtainable in Robocop, as well as optimizing upgrade points for skill checks by listing which stats are necessary to achieve desired dialogue results. Since all collectibles except radios contribute XP points, this is the best way to level up stats. There are several that I have missed, so if anybody spots something, let me know so I can append it to this guide.

Post-Script

ATTENTION: The maximum amount of skill points you can obtain on a playthrough without the Deduction skill bonus is 54. Sacrificing other skills by maxing out Deduction as early as possible makes the maximum level 72 - a difference of 18 skill points. Plan your playthroughs accordingly.

EDIT: Since the game has NG+ now, this is irrelevant, you can play with a maxed out skill tree :)

[Ash]

Thank you, an exellent guide!

I don't know if this has been patched, but I did not completely empty some of the OCP boxes in the Steel Mill (took all the chips but left some of the repair charges there) and still got the XP bonus. My game version is 1.6.0.0./00.014.054.

[mca0004]

Warning to people: As of version 1.5.0.0 (Patch #04) there is a bug that if you have level 10 Psychology (maxed out) all Psychology 6 skill checks can not be completed. They will not appear as options in the dialogue trees.

[jevans8479]

There's no mention of Bank Secret #2. Most people would assume a scannable item inside the OCP bank, but it's two pieces of crime evidence collected after the tunnels behind two large waste bins. Probably an oversight of the game or deliberate to throw people off!

[Nikas Zekeval]

I hit 72 skill points by the final fight, and caught at least two times where missions failed to pay out XP despite getting a notification, and for the first a Steam achievement, for finishing those missions. Specifically "The Man Himself" which runs from OCP#1 and completes at the Arms Expo and "Answer the Call" Which starts in the 8th Police Station visit and completes when you go Downtown for the final time.

In Prison for Maurice you need Psychology 6. I had 5 and I didn't get the dialoge tree. Robo just chose worse replice instead of me

I hope your pillow is always cool

If I got 4xp more I would have been at 72 at the end of the game.

[Exemplary Bancho]

Ok so I seriously miscounted, badly, its 70.

Keep in mind my photo does show 69 - HOWEVER, I went to speak to the Paranoid Hobo instead of Ben. Had I spoken to Ben, I would have got 200 more xp and thus earned 70 skill points.

AND I did NOT max out deduction first, if I had then it would have been full by the evaluation meaning that would have been at least 72 and potentially 73 skill points
