The Precinct: 100% Achievement Guide

Check out my achievement guide for The Precinct to get hints and tips on how to unlock all the achievements.

Intro

Welcome to this achievement guide for The Precinct.

The Precinct has no missable achievements, and completion takes around 20 hours. Finding all the hidden items will be the hardest challenge. Hopefully, this guide will help you find everything.

Here are some general tips:

- Get as much experience as possible; the road to max level is quite long.
- You can play on the easy difficulty and still unlock all the achievements.
- When a shift ends, you can keep playing. This is helpful for gaining 10k experience in one shift or booking 6 criminals in one shift. But it is also very nice to finish the things you haven't done or found yet after finishing the game.
- There is an option to automatically add the charges, this speeds up the progress to arrest a criminal a lot.
-You can turn off the callouts if you don't want them at that moment. This setting is turned on again when you restart the game.

And especially, while playing through the game, keep your eye out for artifacts (however, you get a tool late in the game to make it easier to find them), plaques on buildings, jumping spots on the map, and Rare cars hidden under an overhang.

I want to thank Aaron from XBLAFans[xblafans.com], he helped me find the last five collectibles to be able to finish this guide. They also have a guide for this game, so please check them out as well.

Daily Tasks Achievements

Building a Case
Submitted 5 pieces of evidence against gangs.
You can pick up evidence after many interactions. Some of those will be gang-related. You'll find a lot more than five if you're going to finish the story. So this is kinda a story-related achievement. I kept it in this section as a reminder to pick up evidence when possible.

Ruined Their Day
Issued 3 tickets for valid parking violations.
See the achievement "The Most Hated Person in Averno City".

The Most Hated Person in Averno City
Issued 50 valid parking violation tickets.
You can write tickets for cars that are parked incorrectly or when their timer has expired. Most of those will have wheels on the sidewalk, block a fire hydrant, or be parked in the opposite direction of the traffic.

Fine Work
Issued 10 valid parking violations in one shift.
Keep in mind that you can keep going during a shift even if the initial timer has run out. Write 10 parking tickets in one shift to unlock this.

Book ‘Em, Cordell
Booked 30 suspects.
Booked means that you brought the suspects to the police station. Those 30 don't have to be in one shift or anything, just over time.

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Holding Cell
Booked 6 criminals in one shift.
Keep in mind that shift can keep going even when the timer runs out. You have to bring in 6 criminals yourself.

There’s Gonna Be A Lot Of Paperwork
Arrested 100 suspects.
For this achievement, you have to arrest 100 people throughout your playthrough. You don't have to book them yourself, but those count also toward this.

What Are You in For?
Have two suspects from different crimes in your Patrol Vehicle at the same time.
Just as the description tells you have 2 different arrested people in your police car from different crimes.

Track Star
Sprinted for 30 seconds without stopping.
This is easily done once you get the upgrade that gives a mini-game for when you're close to running out of breath while running.

I See Everything
Helped ground officers arrest 20 suspects while you were in the helicopter.
Just keep doing helicopter shifts to get this achievement.

Radio Responder
Responded to and completed 50 callouts during your shifts.
You get random callouts during your shift for locations kinda close to you. Finish 50 of those for this achievement. Small tip: If you finish this and find it annoying that they are there, you can turn them off. This turn off setting will switch back to "on" when you restart the game.

Nowhere to hide
Used three different support options to catch a single suspect.
Just as the achievement says. You'll unlock multiple options while upgrading your character and choosing skills from the skill tree.

Clean Slate
Flushed every toilet in The Precinct.
They are close to the exit of the helicopter platform.

Career Limiting Move
Parked in the Chief’s Space.
Break into his car and move it out of the way, then park with another (police) car into his spot.

Leveling Up Achievements

Employee of the Day
Earned 10,000 xp in a single shift.
This combines very nicely with "On Top Form". Keep in mind that a shift can take as long as you want, even when the timer ends. I did a lot of street races and time trials to get to the 10k experience in one shift, but it is also very doable with your normal daily tasks. To the right of your minimap you'll see how much experience you have earned this shift.

On Top Form
Achieved first place on the Shift scoreboard.
This combines very nicely with "Employee of the Day". Just be in the team that earned the most experience during a day. With 10k from the other achievement, I think you're always in the first place.

Self Improvement
Unlocked a Player Upgrade.
You'll get experience for doing your job correctly. Those will let you level up and give you points to unlock new things in the skill tree.

Maxed Out
Unlocked every Player Upgrade in a category.
Just unlock everything within 1 category of the skill tree.

Making Your Mark
Achieved the rank of Probationary Officer 1.
You'll get this after just a few level-ups.

A Promising Career
Reached the maximum Police Rank.
Officer 20 will be the highest rank and with that you'll also have unlocked all the skills in the skills tree.

Completion Achievements

What’s in the Box?
Recovered an artifact.
Very soon in the story you'll have to recover the first artifact, but after that there are 19 more.

A Sharp Mind
Recovered every artifact.
They are quite hidden but very late in the game (I think around officer level 17 or so) you'll unlock the ability to hear a signal when getting close to one. Before that I only had found like 3 or so of them. At the bottom of this guide, you will find my maps, where you can find them all.

Taking Out the Trash
Commandeered a Garbage Truck.
After you unlock the ability to be able to commandeer people to take over their vehicle, do this on a garbage truck to unlock this.

We’ll Pay for the Damage
Comandeered every type of vehicle.
Finding every type might be challenging. For me, the last one was an ambulance. I didn't think of those, as you never see them driving around, but they are always stationary. But driving a stationary car also counts toward this. Rare cars don't count for this achievement.

Is it a Bird?
Completed 5 vehicle jumps.
See achievement "No, it’s the Law".

No, it’s the Law
Completed every vehicle jump.
There are 30 all over the map. Gladly, you see them on your map, they are the weird blue symbols when you haven't completed them, and they turn green when you complete that one. You want a fast (sports) car to do those.

Coming in Clutch
Finished in 1st place in a Street Race.
See achievement "I’m Fast. I’m Very Fast.".

I’m Fast. I’m Very Fast.
Finished in 1st place in all Street Races.
You can find the locations of the races on your map by checking for the flag symbol, and they change color based on the rank you get in them. Some of those races felt really challenging to me, but by repetition, I could finish them all in first place. Don't restart a race to quickly, even when in the last spot in the second lap, sometimes it is still possible because the others will screw up each other.

Ready for the Real Thing
Completed a time trial.
See achievement "Fast Responder".

Pedal to the Metal
Got a gold medal in a time trial.
See achievement "Fast Responder".

Fast Responder
Got a gold medal in every time trial.
You can find the locations of the races on your map by checking for the timer symbol, and they change color based on the rank you get in them. I found the one on the docks beside the water very challenging, but most of those were quite easy. Repetition will help you get better at them.

Historian
Read every Plaque.
These are the bronze-colored plaques on buildings. They are mostly found on special buildings like the Police station, Hospital, and Museum, but there are 20 in total. Below, you will find the district and a screenshot of my game. I also added them to the map at the bottom of this guide.

Hidden in the Hood

These are the cars that are hidden under an overhang. You don't have to break the window to enter them. For this achievement, you need to drive in them, so don't forget to jump into them. There are 10 Rare cars in total. I have also added them to the map at the bottom of this guide.

[The Apple Pie Guy]

ive just got the artefact one just the on top form one to get now yeah i will just have to keep getting xp after the shift time is up and hopefully that will be enough xp to get it nice guide btw thanks a lot it helped a lot will you be doing a guide for the we must deliver game that comes out on the 22nd ?

[missiloon]

Maybe just go on longer with a shift, as it doesn't have an end time? At least I don't think it has. I got it in a shift where I also did a lot of races and time trials, but I don't think they give experience once you already done them?

[The Apple Pie Guy]

how much xp do i need to guarantee this achievement this and the artefacts one is the only 2 achievements i need and it says 33% of ppl have the on top form one i just did a 24 hour shift and came back with 15500 xp did every job it offered me and even give parking tickets in between and still only came 2nd on the board does anyone know the best way to get this thanks.

[missiloon]

It is written somewhere in the chief's office.

[cordelle999]

so beautiful they put me in this game so cool and golorious being a cop in this gam even got my name right and everything

[饮酒醉回忆]

I think it is necessary to provide feedback to the author regarding the issue of vehicle operation. During the driving process, it is often easy to lose control, especially during racing, which is often influenced by AI and leads to uncontrolled vehicles. On the other hand, AI is not easily affected, which greatly reduces the racing game experience and can make people crazy

[missiloon]

I have update the map, thank you for the tip :D

[Ilvin]

@coffechippy are you counting the one in Boddicker Yard? blends in with the name

[CoffeeChippy]

Ah, found it. It's obscured under "Bodicker's Yard", could probably add another check mark next to it so its easier to see
