Tips and Cheats

1.Easy Poker Money

Go to the high-stakes poker (Texas Hold'Em) in The Loop. Above the bar top, up and slightly left, hack the camera watching the game. From it, use Facial Recognition to read opponents' stress levels (higher stress = worse cards / bluffing) and zoom in to see at least two opponents' cards. Earning $30,000+ becomes easy.

2.Fast XP and Level 50

Leave the hideout by the river/train tracks, run to the highway and kill civilians in their vehicles to raise your wanted level (police won't be called while they stay in vehicles). When full, go to the L-Train station, steal a car, get caught by the yellow scan, smash through the fence into the tunnel and wait on the left tracks. When the train comes, drive backward (it won't hit you), leave the car and board the train — 300 XP when the white scan ends. After the helicopter leaves, shoot the ground to re-trigger the scan and repeat. Note: the game doesn't autosave on level-up; sleep at the hideout every 10 levels.

3.Escaping Level 5 Police

• Train: The easiest — board a raised L-Line train and ride to safety.
• ctOS underground garage: Drive into the ctOS building in The Loop; activate the blockers, hack the garage shutter to enter, close it, park and wait inside.
• Parking-lot hiding: Drive to the 3rd–4th floor of a tall lot (not the open roof, helicopters spot you). Hide in your car below a roof.

4.Easter Eggs

• Rabbids: In "Big Brother", interact with a Rayman: Raving Rabbids toy in Jack's room for its characteristic scream.
• Aisha Tyler: In "Wrench in the Works", and by hacking the 'intrude' console at City Hall, Aisha Tyler is seen talking on the phone.
• Shell Cup game: Pause after the cups finish moving; the X-ray shows which cup hides the ball (brightness must not be too low).
• Chess Survival Puzzle 1: Against two rooks and a king, make four moves without checkmate for three stars; move your king up and to the left.
