Public Menace

30 Points
Silver Trophy
Rack up $47,000 in penalties during a single story case.

You would think racking up $47,000 would be easy, but keep in mind, this is 1947. The quickest way to rack up a huge tab is to smash up cars.My preferred method was to grab a car and smash it head-on into another car so that I would destroy 2 at once.Once the engines are on fire, move on to another car and repeat.I smashed up 62 cars and racked up $67,000, so anywhere near 50-55 cars should push you over the edge.Once you complete the case, the damage amounts will be totaled and as long as it’s over $47,000, this is all yours.

The flamethrower is only found during the last mission and the Revolver is only used during “Armed and Dangerous” during the patrol desk cases.To use the revolver, Phelps will need to drop the shotgun to equip the revolver. The rest of the guns are plentiful throughout the game.The Colt .45 (Phelps’ normal pistol) the BAR Rifle, the Thompson machine gun, the Tommy Gun (a Thompson with a round magazine cartridge), the M1 Garrand, and the Shotgun.
