True Crime: New York City Tips & Hints

Extra Melee Weapon Slot
Simply throw your Nightstick. Then go to a trunk and equip another melee weapon. If you save and then load the data you will have the Nightstick back but will also have the extra weapon. Technically, this glitch gives you five melee weapon slots.



Keeping weapons
If you get a heavy weapon like a parking meter, when you try to switch weapons you will drop it. If you want to keep it, press [Select] and Marcus will flash his badge. While he is doing that, press [D-pad Up] and the weapon will be in your inventory.



Reloading
There are two ways to reload your ammunition. The first is by accessing the trunk of any car that you own. This also gives you access to your personal armory. The other way is to get a police car then access its truck. Using the police car will refill all your weapons but will not give you access to your personal armory.



Lower Rogue meter
To allow your rogue meter to cool down, just enter any subway station. Cops will not follow you down and you will be safe.



Kill without filling the Rouge meter
Kill a group of people to fill your Rogue meter. Once the cops come after you, let them kill you. After you are put you on street patrol, leave the station. Enable the "Super Cop" code, and you can now kill as much as you desired without your Rogue meter filing.



Blow up cars
Press [R3] and point at the back of a car near the license plate until it turns red. Shoot and it will blow up. Note: You may get 10 Bad Cop points. This will not work trucks, buses, fire trucks or anything similar.



Redman Gone Wild mini-game: More time
An easy way to get more time is to kill people. It is impossible to complete it by just driving. You must get out and shoot them.



Grand Theft Auto reference
When you get the option to start driving taxi missions, Marcus comments that he cannot believe it and says "Next thing, I'll be flying remote control toys and shit." This is obviously a reference to all the RC car/plane/helicopter levels in the Grand Theft Auto series of games.



Non-fatal shots
When arresting people without killing them, go into aim mode by pressing [R3]. Put your sight over either their arm or leg, wait for it to turn blue, then shoot. They will fall to the ground, and you can then arrest them. This is useful for increasing your Good Cop rank.



Faster shotgun reloading
when using a shotgun, slow reloading can be a big problem. When you start to reload a shotgun and just stand there, it is very slow. Start running around to reload almost three times as fast.



Recommended vehicles
The best vehicles to use at Detective Rank 2 is the 5.4L SC V8 coupe; and at Detective Rank 4 the 6.0L V8 coupe. If you use the 6.0L coupe, make sure to take it to a garage and get a street upgrade. Also, if you find one of the bullion vans driving around, hijack one. These will push any car out of the way, and in one hit you can sometimes put a car on black smoke. If you are stuck on the last driving arena mission (one lap around Central Park), just keep hitting her car in this truck to get her stuck for an easy win. The only problem with this vehicle is cornering. Do not be afraid to use this vehicle like a rhino.



Fire any weapon in vehicle
Usually you are only able to fire your .32 auto (the small default pistol) while in a vehicle and cannot use other weapons you have while driving. To use any weapon of your choice in any vehicle, tap [L2] to enter or commandeer a vehicle as usual, but then press [Down] to switch from hand-to-hand combat to firearms and quickly press [Left] or [Right] to select any weapon you have in your inventory before Marcus gets into the car. You can now use the weapon of your choice while driving around. This is especially useful if you have a high-powered or automatic weapon with you while chasing down suspects fleeing in vehicles.



Get cops to stop shooting you
Sometimes, when you are in your street clothes and shoot at someone in front of a cop, the cop will start shooting at you. To get them to stop, simply turn towards them and press [Select] to flash your badge at them. They should then stop shooting at you.



Provoke citizens to fight you
This is a very good way to clean up all precincts quickly, without getting a Bad Cop rating. Get in a car and ram into another car that someone is driving. The driver will get out of their car angry and start provoking you while throwing a big fit. Get out of your car while they are still throwing a fit and wait until you see a health bar over their head. You can now beat them down and arrest them for a quick and easy three Good Cop and three Career points. You can repeat this until you clean up the area.



Character upgrades
As your rank gets better (5 being the worse, and 1 being best), you can buy better upgrades for your character at the Police Department Armory, such as better zoom for your guns, or a more slow-mo dive. You can also purchase new guns to use. The guns will be in the trunk of your police car that you get from the garage.



Easy money
Walk out in front of a car and press [Select]. The driver will get out. Walk up to the person and press [Select] again. You will write them a ticket and summon them to court. You will get $10 each time this is done, but also one Bad Cop point.

Go into a store, extort them, then come out. Walk back in and repeat as many times as desired to get more money.



Easy ranks
If you do not mind earning Bad Cop points, use the following trick to rank up detective levels easily. Go to a place where there are lots of people, such as Central Park. Frisk as many people as you can, plant evidence, and arrest them. You will get one Bad Cop point if you arrest them correctly. Also, you will get three career points every time you do so. It should only take about a half hour at the most to rank up a level.

Use the following trick to get easy arrests without Bad Cop points. Go into a car dealership or a dojo and frisk all the customers inside. All the customers will have something for you to take as evidence. Arrest them for extra career points.

For easy arrests, run and tackle people, then punch them about three times. Get off them and someone near or that person will start to fight with you. Knock them out and arrest them.



Sour Candy mission: Easy completion
In the Palermo mission "Sour Candy", follow Candy up the climbing wall to the track. Instead of starting the race, go in the opposite direction. For the first two sets of hurdles, break the ones in the center lane by running into them. Then, break the last two sets of hurdles on the inside lane of the track. This will allow you to run in the race and not have to jump. Candy will be forced to jump over the hurdles slowing her down, so you can catch her more easily.



Defeating hand to hand combatants
Another way to defeat some enemies is to grab them, attack with either X or Square button, then kick them until they get up. This is done when not in stealth, but when in hand to hand combat.



Inspecting trunks
To inspect a civilian's car trunk to see if they have illegal items, stand in front of their car and press Select to show the driver your badge. The driver will get out and stand at the side of the door. Get to the back of the car and press L2. You will open the car's trunk. If the driver has an illegal item he will start to run. You can shoot the driver in the arm or leg (when the crosshairs are blue). The driver will fall and you can arrest him or her.



Easy Career-Points
Get in a Vehicle and crash (at a reasonable speed) into another Vehicle, (try not to kill the driver). Exit the car and the person you hit should get out too, they will then taunt you a few times...still don't do anything. They will then have a yellow bar across their head (indicating that they are an unarmed "perp"). Beat them up, or whatever just don't kill them then you will get a 3 points for being a "good cop," then arrest them. There you go 6 points in a matter of seconds!

Defeating P.Licoln
When you get to the part in President's Club, where you are to apprehend P.Licoln, you hide behind the big square stones, making your way to the last stone. Then when you get to the last one go in presision aim, come out of hiding, aim for his knee and shoot him in the knee. It should netrulize him. That's how you beat him without killing him.

President's Club 'Print Factory'
At the beginning of the mission you shoot the wood supporting the big berrals and they will fall on people shooting at you.

Fastest Way To Blow Up Cars
When you want or need to blow up cars, go into persision aim then aim at the back of a car until you are aiming close to the licence plate and shoot. It should blow up.
