Take her out on that date, impress her by hacking a security camera, and the locations of all security cameras will be revealed to you on the map. For an idea of where the possibly hidden ones are, refer to the link below.
Hacking made easy!
Karaoke Superstar (10)
Achieving 90% and above for all songs at the Karaoke Bars in HK
The best thing about this achievement is not having to hear Simon Cowell's bitter criticism. Regardless of the locations of each bar, they all contain the same songs and pick up from where you last made progress toward being a Karaoke Superstar. This is disregarding the bar you last visited. To unlock all songs:
----Follow through the main storyline.
----Contact, yet, another girl named Tiffany.
----Contact a girl named Ilyana. Doing so will lead you towards to having to defeat her in a freerunning competition. Be triumphant, and you'll unlock a favor titled "Real Men Don't Karaoke," which will unlock 2 additional songs.
Now, the part where you actually start making your way towards getting the achievement
As demonstrated in the video above, scroll the arrow and position it wherever the vocal bars are. Leave the arrow alone until it reaches the very end of the bar. Once it does, perform the same action on the next one. It's a rinse and repeat process.

Remember that girl who's mentioned earlier in this achievement guide? I'm aware that it's difficult to keep track, you Hong Kong phooey manwhore you. Ilyana, that girl who you dated to unlock those 2 additional songs for Karaoke Superstar will challenge you to a race upon completing a mission for someone named King. Yes, just like that wrestler with the head of a lion in the Tekken series. Have her examine your front rear at the finish line and Ilyana will reward you by revealing the location of every lockbox. Observe your map to determine where they are. Some may be hidden. On that note, click on the link below to detect those suckers.

Perspective without map opened
Location on map
North Point Scavenger (20)
Unlock every lockbox in North Point
The locations of the lockboxes in North Point should be revealed to you when looking at the map, provided that you've been following this achievement guide thoroughly and completed Ilyana's mission. Well, what are ya waiting for! Refer to West End Scavenger for more information and how that achievement's affiliated to this one.
Super Cop (15)
Unlock ten Cop Upgrades
Before even being fixated on unlocking those ten cop upgrades, you must be face level 10. Cop upgrades can be unlocked by maintaining the reputation of a good cop and not doing anything illegal or harming citizens. Once you get the Super Cop achievement, then you can steal cars or run people over to your hearts content. When "maintaining the reputation of a good cop" comes to mind, you may think of doing drug busts or other cop-related missions. Each mission has three shields that need to be filled. Perform superbly in a mission, and watch the shields fill-in. Refer to the link below for more information.
Look out, Jackie Chan, there's a new Super Cop in town!
Ultimate Fighter (15)
Unlock ten Triad Upgrades
Now that you've joined the light side of the force, it's time to embrace the dark side! You may not be at the highest gangster level upon completing the game. If you aren't, then replay triad missions until you get there. It's highly recommended that you replay missions which recorded low scores. The higher your score is, the more experience points you receive. Below are a few more tips on becoming an Ultimate Fighter. Before you proceed further, there are some pieces of clothing that provide Wei bonuses when worn. Couronne puffy red vest, J. Jiggler straight leg jeans, and Achete stand up boots black w/ brown sole each give Wei a 15% bonus to earned experience points.
----When involved in hand-to-hand combat, break your opponent's legs and move in for another attack.
----When wielding a gun in a gunfight (some foolishly bring a knife), go for headshots. Better yet, put everything that you've learned visually by viewing Steven Seagal movies and disarm your enemies.
----During a car chase, kill off all enemies and blow up the vehicle that contained the now deceased.
Consequentially, following these tips will net you a considerable amount of experience points. You'll be living a hard knock life to the max in no time! Click on the link below to see a video with slightly soothing commentary and more information on unlocking the Ultimate Fighter achievement.
See what it's like in a UFC fighter's shoes, plus more...........wayyyyyy more
Wei of the Road (15)
Complete all Street Races
Remember that first, you must gain access to all races. This is done by purchasing all cars and bikes of each class and going through the storyline. For the actual races, here are some general tips:
----Try to drift when turning, as opposed to braking and turning.
----Try your hardest in not crashing into anything.
----Don't be discouraged throughout the race. There's always the possibility of being victorious.
Event Planner (15)
Complete all of the open world Events
As previously mentioned under the Chief Inspector achievement, some events are only available during the day, while others are only available at night. There's also an image enclosed in the details of said achievement, which reveals the locations of all open-world events. For comprehensive visual aid, refer to the link below.
Get involved!
If the event doesn't commence, then try to position yourself closer to the marker shown in the video or image. If it still doesn't begin, then try waiting until it's day or night.
Event Driven (20)
Complete half of the open world events
This achievement will come to you naturally as you're going for Event Planner. Refer to that achievement for more details.
Mr. Nice Guy (30)
Complete all Favors
All favors meaning a total of 36. You'll be a Mr. Nice Guy as you're assumably focused on obtaining the Chief Inspector achievement. Refer to this achievement for more information.
Case Closed (30)
Complete all cases
There are a total of 4 cases for you to complete throughout the entire game. As stated under the Chief Inspector achievement, cases are represented by a denim blue shield. They aren't to be confused with drug busts, which are represented by a sky blue shield. Each case contains a line of tasks you must fulfill before "closing" the case. Think of it as having to go through a string of quests, just to complete the main one in Skyrim. Cases pop-up on your map as you move along in the storyline. Therefore, it's imperative that you check your map periodically.
Sharpshooter (25)
Shoot out a cop's tires while fleeing in a police chase
Sounds challenging, doesn't it? Not with this humorous video, accompanied by commentators with the case of potty mouth. Click on the link below to see the video on how to unlock the Sharpshooter achievement.
Potty mouths, but ones with vital information.
Kleptomaniac (15)
Hijack 5 trucks and collect their cargo
Within a few hours of game time, you'll receive a call to hijack a van and bring it to a garage. All that you need to know is someone failed to pay up protection money. You're just an errand boy. Grab hold of a motorbike and located a truck with an orange shield symbol hovering above it. Approach it close enough, and you'll be prompted to press and hold the A button to jump towards the truck. You'll be required to follow a few more button prompts. Once that's a done deal, you may be chased by cops. Lose them and drive the truck along the orange path shown on your mini map (located on the bottom left corner). Below, you'll find a video that shows what everything will look like.
Go get em' Spiderman!
Infowlable (15)
Win 50,000 on a single cockfight
Note: Be sure to create a separate save file prior to proceeding further. This is to prevent any actual loss in money. If Sun Tzu or Leung Kwan aren't available as fighters, then pick any one. If you lose the bet, then load up the newly saved game file. You'll be required to travel to the cockfight scene again.
The easiest way to get this one is to take a taxi to the destination marked on the map, as shown in the video at the end of this description, and bet a minimum of $50,000 on Sun Tzu (needs no introduction) or Leung Kwan. If you were to pack heat like Ron Jeremy, then all of this would be much easier now wouldn't it.
Sun Tzu FTW! Or Leung Kwan.......
Tourist (10)
Win a bet on a cockfight
Note: If it was your first time winning a bet on a cockfight match when you unlocked the Infowlable achievement, then you'll automatically unlock the Tourist achievement.
Same details on the Infowlable achievement apply towards the Tourist one. Create a separate save file prior to going to the cockfight arena and placing a bet. Victory is based on sheer luck. Make your way to the marker on the featured player's map in the video provided. This is home of the cheap cockfights. Only a minimum bet of $500 is required to partake in the action. Pick any fighter, pray to Jebus, and wait for the outcome. If you lose, then simply load up the newly saved game file. You may have to travel to the cockfight arena again.
$500? Why not.
Whatever's Handy (15)
Use 10 different melee weapons to defeat enemies
You should have this achievement unlocked as you're going for Chief Inspector(some missions and drug busts especially grant you melee weapons, specifically knives, wrenches, and crowbars). A woman's purse/handbag is also considered to be a weapon. Bring back the 50's and show those pesky modern-aged thugs how women kicked arse before they were born! If you don't unlock the achievement when in the middle or at the end of the game, then replay as many missions as necessary. The video below will show you how and where to get a hold of even more of an arsenal of weaponry!
Go ape $#@!
Gun Nut (15)
Use 10 different firearms to defeat enemies
Similar to Whatever's Handy, except those hands of yours will be gripping weapons that spit lead. Gun Nut can actually coincide with Whatever's Handy, in a sense where a group of thugs or cops may consist of some using melee weapons while others are using guns. Hence that you can make progress on unlocking both achievements simultaneously! Although there are more than 10 firearms scattered throughout the game, you're only required to use 10 for the achievement. Click the link underneath for a visually comprehensive guide on where to get various different firearms.
Here ya go, you gun nut.
Safe Driver (20)
Cruise for 2 minutes straight without damaging your car
The link at the end of this achievement description will ride you through it. Hmmm, that sounded naughty...............Anyway, one thing to keep in mind is it isn't mandatory for you to hold the accelerate button. This won't void your progress towards Safe Driver. When turning, remove your finger from the accelerate button for maybe 0.5 seconds or less. The key is to constantly accelerate while not losing much speed, nor gaining top speed. Additionally, it's ironic how you're allowed to slip up once (slightly scrape one side of another vehicle) while making your way towards the achievement. Then again, 2 minutes sure does feel like 5.
May the schwartz be with you!
Gadgetman (20)
Pick a lock, plant a bug, trace a phone, crack a safe, and take over a spy camera
This one's difficult to miss. Somewhere along the lines of carrying out police missions, you'll come across one called "Hotshot." This mission, in particular, will require you to do the following in this order:
----pick a lock
----plant a bug
----trace a phone
----crack a safe
----control a spy camera
The achievement will unlock after performing the last part of the mission. Badabing badaboom! I mean, go go Gadget................man.
Environmentalist (15)
Perform 5 unique environmental kills.
Another achievement that's fairly easy to obtain. In fact, you should have this unlocked sometime early in the game. Pick a fight with a gang of thugs. During the fight, grab an enemy that's blocking or counter an enemy attack (if you prefer to go Hong Kong phooey in style and look cool). Said enemy will have a red flashing aura outlining their figure. While you have them grappled, move them to a nearby destructible object (vending machine, fan, big cardboard box, etc) and press the button that the game prompts you to. You'll find a visual demonstration below.
Someone's gonna have to pay for that!
Foodie (10)
Try 10 different foods or drinks.
WARNING! May cause anorexics to rush to the fridge. To unlock the Foodie achievement, consume a variety of 10 different foods or beverages. If I were you, then I'd just click on the link below and watch a visually detailed video of where to obtain such delicacies. Also, you may want to have a writing tool and paper by your side to create a checklist of the items you've already consumed.
Hungry? Why wait? Grab some asian cuisine!
Man Around Town (20)
Visit Aberdeen, Central, Kennedy Town and North Point.
This achievement should unlock naturally as you progress through the storyline and do cop missions, drug busts, etc. If you somehow don't get the achievement, then refer to the image below to get an idea of where the boundaries of all four cities lie.
Copernicus not required!
Take A Bite Out Of Crime (10)
Complete a Case.
Difficult to miss. While you're being a foodie over there, you'll also Take A Bite Out Of Crime sometime during the story. Complete the first case that's assigned to you, and achievementus is unlockedus! Pretty cool how you can add "us" at the end of almost every word and it would sound socially acceptable, at least to those who are history buffs.
A Slap in the Face (10)
Kill someone with a fish.
Just when you thought that smacking someone in the face with a fish wouldn't cut it. Click on the link below and see for yourself! Before you do, commence the mission "Club Bam Bam." Eventually, you'll arrive in the VIP section of the club. Grab an enemy or counter an enemy attack and then grapple them. Next, put the helpless person through a fish tank. A fish will come out of the tank, giving you the chance to amuse yourself by picking it up and hitting an enemy in the face with the fish. You'll also unlock the A Slap in the Face achievement.
Hilariously fishy
Stuntman (5)
Successfully perform an action hijack.
Another achievement that's impossible to miss. You'll unlock Stuntman naturally as you go through the storyline.
Arguably the shortest visual on unlocking Sleeping Dogs achievements
Fashion Statement (10)
Change all your clothes in your wardrobe or a clothing store.
This one will unlock fairly early in the game. After completing a couple of missions and perhaps a favor or two, head to a nearest clothing store near you (typical advertisement voice) and purchase any hat, shirt, pants, and shoes. Change into your newly acquired pieces of clothing, and you'll make a Fashion Statement.
Great Face (50)
Achieve Face Level 10.
You should either reach face level 10 or be close to it upon unlocking the Chief Inspector achievement. In addition to what's required to obtain Chief Inspector, successfully carrying out drug busts will assist in increasing your face level. Thus, helping you get the Great Face achievement as well. Remember that certain articles of clothing have properties which permanently increase the amount of experience points you earn towards face level.
Gaining Face (25)
Achieve Face Level 5.
This "face" achievement is easier to obtain, since it requires you to reach face level 5. Have your eyes fixated on Great Face and the Gaining Face achievement will unlock as you don't expect it! For a refresher course, refer to Chief Inspector to read up on what in-game activities are accredited.
Minor Face (5)
Achieve Face Level 2.
Should unlock naturally and fairly early in the game, compared to the other "face" achievements. Refer to Chief Inspector and successfully complete some drug busts; you'll reach face level 2 in no time.
Secret Achievements
Martial Law (15)
Defeat all 4 Martial Arts Clubs
By "defeating all 4 martial arts clubs," it's meant that you must survive and fight 6 waves of those low-life thugs. Humiliate these punks at all four martial arts clubs (one in each city) and the achievement's yours. That's all, sarcastically speaking. Martial arts clubs are marked by a pair of boxing gloves on your map. Click on the link below and take a look at the video of the character portraying Donnie Yen's (Ip Man) son.
Nothing but bone-crushing goodness
Big Smiles All Around (50)
Complete Big Smile Lee.
Sure, this achievement may offer a considerable amount of points. However, Big Smiles All Around is a mission that's story-related. Therefore, it's impossible to miss. Just complete the mission "Big Smiles Lee" and the achievement will unlock as soon as the credits begin rolling. You can choose to skip the credits. The achievement will still unlock. Look who's smiling now!
A Big Betrayal (35)
Complete Dockyard Heist.
Another story-related achievement. Upon completing "Dockyard Heist," A Big Betrayal will unlock.
A big big big big big biiiiiiiiiiiig betrayal

Complete Night Market Chase.
You'll be In With The Gang after you fluidly go through the storyline. This achievement will unlock naturally. Refer to the link below for a basic overview of the mission, "Night Market Chase."

He's going to task you in meeting a cleverly named girl, Not Ping, who will also task you in planting a bug in Winston's mother's restaurant. Fulfill said task, and she will be available for a date. Take her out on that date, impress her by hacking a security camera, and the locations of all security cameras will be revealed to you on the map. For an idea of where the possibly hidden ones are, refer to the link below.
Hacking made easy!
Karaoke Superstar (10)
Achieving 90% and above for all songs at the Karaoke Bars in HK
The best thing about this achievement is not having to hear Simon Cowell's bitter criticism. Regardless of the locations of each bar, they all contain the same songs and pick up from where you last made progress toward being a Karaoke Superstar. This is disregarding the bar you last visited. To unlock all songs:
----Follow through the main storyline.
----Contact, yet, another girl named Tiffany.
----Contact a girl named Ilyana. Doing so will lead you towards to having to defeat her in a freerunning competition. Be triumphant, and you'll unlock a favor titled "Real Men Don't Karaoke," which will unlock 2 additional songs.
Now, the part where you actually start making your way towards getting the achievement
As demonstrated in the video above, scroll the arrow and position it wherever the vocal bars are. Leave the arrow alone until it reaches the very end of the bar. Once it does, perform the same action on the next one. It's a rinse and repeat process.
Bounty Hunter (20)
Complete all of Roland's Jobs
To even get to Roland, you must complete a mission known as "Payback." Then, you get to meet Roland. After meeting him, he will be listed as a contact in your phone. Begin making progress towards the Bounty Hunter achievement by calling Roland for the first time. He will give you a debt collections job. Excluding the one you did whilst following the storyline, you must carry out a total of 5 debt collections jobs. Just contact him after you complete a debt collections job, be a good boy/girl, and do as he asks. In the end, you'll be rewarded with the achievement.
West End Scavenger (20)
Unlock every lockbox in Kennedy Town and Aberdeen
Remember that girl who's mentioned earlier in this achievement guide? I'm aware that it's difficult to keep track, you Hong Kong phooey manwhore you. Ilyana, that girl who you dated to unlock those 2 additional songs for Karaoke Superstar will challenge you to a race upon completing a mission for someone named King. Yes, just like that wrestler with the head of a lion in the Tekken series. Have her examine your front rear at the finish line and Ilyana will reward you by revealing the location of every lockbox. Observe your map to determine where they are. Some may be hidden. On that note, click on the link below to detect those suckers.
Lockbox n' Bagels on a silver plate
Central Scavenger (20)
Unlock every lockbox in Central
Refer to West End Scavenger to see how that achievement's affiliated with this one. However, there's one lockbox that may not be so easy to find.................until you take a look at the two pictures below. This one's somewhere in Victoria Park. Victoria Park's northwest of Two Chin's house.
Perspective without map opened
Location on map
North Point Scavenger (20)
Unlock every lockbox in North Point
The locations of the lockboxes in North Point should be revealed to you when looking at the map, provided that you've been following this achievement guide thoroughly and completed Ilyana's mission. Well, what are ya waiting for! Refer to West End Scavenger for more information and how that achievement's affiliated to this one.
Super Cop (15)
Unlock ten Cop Upgrades
Before even being fixated on unlocking those ten cop upgrades, you must be face level 10. Cop upgrades can be unlocked by maintaining the reputation of a good cop and not doing anything illegal or harming citizens. Once you get the Super Cop achievement, then you can steal cars or run people over to your hearts content. When "maintaining the reputation of a good cop" comes to mind, you may think of doing drug busts or other cop-related missions. Each mission has three shields that need to be filled. Perform superbly in a mission, and watch the shields fill-in. Refer to the link below for more information.
Look out, Jackie Chan, there's a new Super Cop in town!
Ultimate Fighter (15)
Unlock ten Triad Upgrades
Now that you've joined the light side of the force, it's time to embrace the dark side! You may not be at the highest gangster level upon completing the game. If you aren't, then replay triad missions until you get there. It's highly recommended that you replay missions which recorded low scores. The higher your score is, the more experience points you receive. Below are a few more tips on becoming an Ultimate Fighter. Before you proceed further, there are some pieces of clothing that provide Wei bonuses when worn. Couronne puffy red vest, J. Jiggler straight leg jeans, and Achete stand up boots black w/ brown sole each give Wei a 15% bonus to earned experience points.
----When involved in hand-to-hand combat, break your opponent's legs and move in for another attack.
----When wielding a gun in a gunfight (some foolishly bring a knife), go for headshots. Better yet, put everything that you've learned visually by viewing Steven Seagal movies and disarm your enemies.
----During a car chase, kill off all enemies and blow up the vehicle that contained the now deceased.
Consequentially, following these tips will net you a considerable amount of experience points. You'll be living a hard knock life to the max in no time! Click on the link below to see a video with slightly soothing commentary and more information on unlocking the Ultimate Fighter achievement.
See what it's like in a UFC fighter's shoes, plus more...........wayyyyyy more
Wei of the Road (15)
Complete all Street Races
Remember that first, you must gain access to all races. This is done by purchasing all cars and bikes of each class and going through the storyline. For the actual races, here are some general tips:
----Try to drift when turning, as opposed to braking and turning.
----Try your hardest in not crashing into anything.
----Don't be discouraged throughout the race. There's always the possibility of being victorious.
Event Planner (15)
Complete all of the open world Events
As previously mentioned under the Chief Inspector achievement, some events are only available during the day, while others are only available at night. There's also an image enclosed in the details of said achievement, which reveals the locations of all open-world events. For comprehensive visual aid, refer to the link below.
Get involved!
If the event doesn't commence, then try to position yourself closer to the marker shown in the video or image. If it still doesn't begin, then try waiting until it's day or night.
Event Driven (20)
Complete half of the open world events
This achievement will come to you naturally as you're going for Event Planner. Refer to that achievement for more details.
Mr. Nice Guy (30)
Complete all Favors
All favors meaning a total of 36. You'll be a Mr. Nice Guy as you're assumably focused on obtaining the Chief Inspector achievement. Refer to this achievement for more information.
Case Closed (30)
Complete all cases
There are a total of 4 cases for you to complete throughout the entire game. As stated under the Chief Inspector achievement, cases are represented by a denim blue shield. They aren't to be confused with drug busts, which are represented by a sky blue shield. Each case contains a line of tasks you must fulfill before "closing" the case. Think of it as having to go through a string of quests, just to complete the main one in Skyrim. Cases pop-up on your map as you move along in the storyline. Therefore, it's imperative that you check your map periodically.
Sharpshooter (25)
Shoot out a cop's tires while fleeing in a police chase
Sounds challenging, doesn't it? Not with this humorous video, accompanied by commentators with the case of potty mouth. Click on the link below to see the video on how to unlock the Sharpshooter achievement.
Potty mouths, but ones with vital information.
Kleptomaniac (15)
Hijack 5 trucks and collect their cargo
Within a few hours of game time, you'll receive a call to hijack a van and bring it to a garage. All that you need to know is someone failed to pay up protection money. You're just an errand boy. Grab hold of a motorbike and located a truck with an orange shield symbol hovering above it. Approach it close enough, and you'll be prompted to press and hold the A button to jump towards the truck. You'll be required to follow a few more button prompts. Once that's a done deal, you may be chased by cops. Lose them and drive the truck along the orange path shown on your mini map (located on the bottom left corner). Below, you'll find a video that shows what everything will look like.
Go get em' Spiderman!
Infowlable (15)
Win 50,000 on a single cockfight
Note: Be sure to create a separate save file prior to proceeding further. This is to prevent any actual loss in money. If Sun Tzu or Leung Kwan aren't available as fighters, then pick any one. If you lose the bet, then load up the newly saved game file. You'll be required to travel to the cockfight scene again.
The easiest way to get this one is to take a taxi to the destination marked on the map, as shown in the video at the end of this description, and bet a minimum of $50,000 on Sun Tzu (needs no introduction) or Leung Kwan. If you were to pack heat like Ron Jeremy, then all of this would be much easier now wouldn't it.
Sun Tzu FTW! Or Leung Kwan.......
Tourist (10)
Win a bet on a cockfight
Note: If it was your first time winning a bet on a cockfight match when you unlocked the Infowlable achievement, then you'll automatically unlock the Tourist achievement.
Same details on the Infowlable achievement apply towards the Tourist one. Create a separate save file prior to going to the cockfight arena and placing a bet. Victory is based on sheer luck. Make your way to the marker on the featured player's map in the video provided. This is home of the cheap cockfights. Only a minimum bet of $500 is required to partake in the action. Pick any fighter, pray to Jebus, and wait for the outcome. If you lose, then simply load up the newly saved game file. You may have to travel to the cockfight arena again.
$500? Why not.
Whatever's Handy (15)
Use 10 different melee weapons to defeat enemies
You should have this achievement unlocked as you're going for Chief Inspector(some missions and drug busts especially grant you melee weapons, specifically knives, wrenches, and crowbars). A woman's purse/handbag is also considered to be a weapon. Bring back the 50's and show those pesky modern-aged thugs how women kicked arse before they were born! If you don't unlock the achievement when in the middle or at the end of the game, then replay as many missions as necessary. The video below will show you how and where to get a hold of even more of an arsenal of weaponry!
Go ape $#@!
Gun Nut (15)
Use 10 different firearms to defeat enemies
Similar to Whatever's Handy, except those hands of yours will be gripping weapons that spit lead. Gun Nut can actually coincide with Whatever's Handy, in a sense where a group of thugs or cops may consist of some using melee weapons while others are using guns. Hence that you can make progress on unlocking both achievements simultaneously! Although there are more than 10 firearms scattered throughout the game, you're only required to use 10 for the achievement. Click the link underneath for a visually comprehensive guide on where to get various different firearms.
Here ya go, you gun nut.
Safe Driver (20)
Cruise for 2 minutes straight without damaging your car
The link at the end of this achievement description will ride you through it. Hmmm, that sounded naughty...............Anyway, one thing to keep in mind is it isn't mandatory for you to hold the accelerate button. This won't void your progress towards Safe Driver. When turning, remove your finger from the accelerate button for maybe 0.5 seconds or less. The key is to constantly accelerate while not losing much speed, nor gaining top speed. Additionally, it's ironic how you're allowed to slip up once (slightly scrape one side of another vehicle) while making your way towards the achievement. Then again, 2 minutes sure does feel like 5.
May the schwartz be with you!
Gadgetman (20)
Pick a lock, plant a bug, trace a phone, crack a safe, and take over a spy camera
This one's difficult to miss. Somewhere along the lines of carrying out police missions, you'll come across one called "Hotshot." This mission, in particular, will require you to do the following in this order:
----pick a lock
----plant a bug
----trace a phone
----crack a safe
----control a spy camera
The achievement will unlock after performing the last part of the mission. Badabing badaboom! I mean, go go Gadget................man.
Environmentalist (15)
Perform 5 unique environmental kills.
Another achievement that's fairly easy to obtain. In fact, you should have this unlocked sometime early in the game. Pick a fight with a gang of thugs. During the fight, grab an enemy that's blocking or counter an enemy attack (if you prefer to go Hong Kong phooey in style and look cool). Said enemy will have a red flashing aura outlining their figure. While you have them grappled, move them to a nearby destructible object (vending machine, fan, big cardboard box, etc) and press the button that the game prompts you to. You'll find a visual demonstration below.
Someone's gonna have to pay for that!
Foodie (10)
Try 10 different foods or drinks.
WARNING! May cause anorexics to rush to the fridge. To unlock the Foodie achievement, consume a variety of 10 different foods or beverages. If I were you, then I'd just click on the link below and watch a visually detailed video of where to obtain such delicacies. Also, you may want to have a writing tool and paper by your side to create a checklist of the items you've already consumed.
Hungry? Why wait? Grab some asian cuisine!
Man Around Town (20)
Visit Aberdeen, Central, Kennedy Town and North Point.
This achievement should unlock naturally as you progress through the storyline and do cop missions, drug busts, etc. If you somehow don't get the achievement, then refer to the image below to get an idea of where the boundaries of all four cities lie.
Copernicus not required!
Take A Bite Out Of Crime (10)
Complete a Case.
Difficult to miss. While you're being a foodie over there, you'll also Take A Bite Out Of Crime sometime during the story. Complete the first case that's assigned to you, and achievementus is unlockedus! Pretty cool how you can add "us" at the end of almost every word and it would sound socially acceptable, at least to those who are history buffs.
A Slap in the Face (10)
Kill someone with a fish.
Just when you thought that smacking someone in the face with a fish wouldn't cut it. Click on the link below and see for yourself! Before you do, commence the mission "Club Bam Bam." Eventually, you'll arrive in the VIP section of the club. Grab an enemy or counter an enemy attack and then grapple them. Next, put the helpless person through a fish tank. A fish will come out of the tank, giving you the chance to amuse yourself by picking it up and hitting an enemy in the face with the fish. You'll also unlock the A Slap in the Face achievement.
Hilariously fishy
Stuntman (5)
Successfully perform an action hijack.
Another achievement that's impossible to miss. You'll unlock Stuntman naturally as you go through the storyline.
Arguably the shortest visual on unlocking Sleeping Dogs achievements
Fashion Statement (10)
Change all your clothes in your wardrobe or a clothing store.
This one will unlock fairly early in the game. After completing a couple of missions and perhaps a favor or two, head to a nearest clothing store near you (typical advertisement voice) and purchase any hat, shirt, pants, and shoes. Change into your newly acquired pieces of clothing, and you'll make a Fashion Statement.
Great Face (50)
Achieve Face Level 10.
You should either reach face level 10 or be close to it upon unlocking the Chief Inspector achievement. In addition to what's required to obtain Chief Inspector, successfully carrying out drug busts will assist in increasing your face level. Thus, helping you get the Great Face achievement as well. Remember that certain articles of clothing have properties which permanently increase the amount of experience points you earn towards face level.
Gaining Face (25)
Achieve Face Level 5.
This "face" achievement is easier to obtain, since it requires you to reach face level 5. Have your eyes fixated on Great Face and the Gaining Face achievement will unlock as you don't expect it! For a refresher course, refer to Chief Inspector to read up on what in-game activities are accredited.
Minor Face (5)
Achieve Face Level 2.
Should unlock naturally and fairly early in the game, compared to the other "face" achievements. Refer to Chief Inspector and successfully complete some drug busts; you'll reach face level 2 in no time.
Secret Achievements
Martial Law (15)
Defeat all 4 Martial Arts Clubs
By "defeating all 4 martial arts clubs," it's meant that you must survive and fight 6 waves of those low-life thugs. Humiliate these punks at all four martial arts clubs (one in each city) and the achievement's yours. That's all, sarcastically speaking. Martial arts clubs are marked by a pair of boxing gloves on your map. Click on the link below and take a look at the video of the character portraying Donnie Yen's (Ip Man) son.
Nothing but bone-crushing goodness
Big Smiles All Around (50)
Complete Big Smile Lee.
Sure, this achievement may offer a considerable amount of points. However, Big Smiles All Around is a mission that's story-related. Therefore, it's impossible to miss. Just complete the mission "Big Smiles Lee" and the achievement will unlock as soon as the credits begin rolling. You can choose to skip the credits. The achievement will still unlock. Look who's smiling now!
A Big Betrayal (35)
Complete Dockyard Heist.
Another story-related achievement. Upon completing "Dockyard Heist," A Big Betrayal will unlock.
A big big big big big biiiiiiiiiiiig betrayal
That'll Show 'em (20)
Complete Payback.
Remember the time in the game where you first learned how to hijack and earned the Stuntman achievement? The story-related mission, "Payback," will follow upon completing the tutorial. Completing the mission will earn you That'll Show 'em.
In With The Gang (5)
Complete Night Market Chase.
You'll be In With The Gang after you fluidly go through the storyline. This achievement will unlock naturally. Refer to the link below for a basic overview of the mission, "Night Market Chase."
