Part 46

Complete the Law Enforcer, Out of the Way, Gassed, Electroshocked, and Evidence Collector stat awards in the Year of the Snake DLC for Sleeping Dogs.

These final five stat awards are available in the 'Year of the Snake' DLC. You will need to be playing that pack to make progress on these.

The stat awards for arrests and electroshocks can both be farmed in free roam (a mode where you can freely explore the game world after completing story missions) - just watch out for the red enemy icons on your minimap (a small on-screen display showing your immediate surroundings and nearby threats) which mark the locations of small groups of thugs (usually three).

Law Enforcer

This is the number of criminals you've arrested.

Requirements - Bronze: 50 / Silver: 100 / Gold: 200

After grabbing a criminal by tapping Circle you can tap Circle again to cuff them - this counts as one arrest. If they resist then you need to grind their health down first. (Hold L2 to view their health bar.)

Alternatively if there's a police car nearby you can press Circle to grab a criminal, drag him to the car and press Circle again to force him into one of the back seats - doing this also counts as one arrest. You can arrest two guys this way, but you need to load one on each side. (You can also stuff a third into the trunk of the car but this doesn't count as a proper arrest!)

Watch out for enemies that you can't grab, like knife users and heavyweight Grapplers. Also don't try to grab and cuff someone quickly from behind or you will do a ninja stealth take-down on them instead. :)

Out of the Way

This tracks the total number of civilian vehicles you've caused to stop or pull-over by driving past them in a police vehicle with the siren on.

Requirements - Bronze: 100 / Silver: 300 / Gold: 600

While driving a police vehicle tap R3 to turn on the siren. It can get pretty annoying so you might want to turn the volume down while you're doing this! You need to tap R3 quite quickly otherwise it'll just sound the horn - keep tapping to turn a variety of different sirens on and off.

If you drive a police vehicle whenever possible and always keep the siren on you should get Gold on this one easily while playing through the missions. If you miss it for any reason it would be easy to farm by simply driving around the freeways or urban districts.

If you're going for 100% trophy completion then a good time to do this would be when you're driving around picking up all the evidence bag collectibles.

Gassed

This is the total number of enemies you've temporarily incapacitated using the tear-gas grenade-launcher.

Requirements - Bronze: 20 / Silver: 50 / Gold: 100

You get to use the tear-gas launcher during the SDU: Soho Riots mission.

Press L2 to aim and R2 to fire. Avoid direct hits that would wound the target.

Completing the 'Year of the Snake' story unlocks the SDU Gear outfit for the main campaign. This lets you use the launcher at any time during story mode but, even if you use it on enemies, it will not contribute to the totals for this stat award so you need to be playing the Soho Riots mission.

Luckily you can farm this award in a single play or re-play (if you re-play quickly it'll take less than an hour to get to the required mission). Once you have the grenade-launcher watch out for the first fight upstairs in the plaza area - if you keep gassing the guys without gasmasks it will keep adding to your Gassed total. If you're close to defeating all the enemies just pause and use the Restart From Checkpoint (a save point that allows you to resume gameplay from a specific moment) option - your total will be preserved and you can continue this process until you achieve the Gold award you crave.

Electroshocked

This is the number of times you've used the stun-gun on an enemy (cultists and street thugs). Doing it on poor unsuspecting pedestrians doesn't count!

Requirements - Bronze: 30 / Silver: 60 / Gold: 100

To electroshock an enemy simply press Circle to grab them and tap Square to zap 'em with the stun-gun. Hold Square for prolonged zapping. :)

If you stun the same enemy more than once, each time will count towards this total so that makes it easier to farm. Remember that every stun causes some damage (as do counters) so there's a limit to how many times you can do this.

A stunned enemy will lay on the ground for a while. To save time you can stand over them and hold Circle to pick them up.

Evidence Collector

There are twenty evidence bag collectibles to find around Central, Kennedy and Aberdeen. This stat shows how many you've found so far.

Requirements - Bronze: 5 / Silver: 10 / Gold: 20

For the locations of all the bags see my notes for trophy #60 in Section 11b or just play through all the missions so that the locations will be marked on the main map in the collectibles view [press Square to toggle on/off].

To make it even easier it appears that your bag total will carry-over between playthroughs so you can continue to add to your total in a new game and even score over 20 if you want!

Finding all twenty collectibles earns you the Goodie Monster trophy.
