White Rabbit Object
Escape 15 police scans

A police scan is the stage before the actual police chase. It occurs when a civilian calls the police and then the police attempt to scan for your location (moving yellow circles on the map), escape the scan radius before the yellow circles get completely filled. The more damage you cause before someone calls the police, the higher level the police scan will be. Jam Comms are extremely useful for escaping police scans, as they... Jam the scanners or something (for about 5 seconds). Simply escape 15 of these to get the achievement.

Scanproof
Escape a level 5 police scan

To earn a level 5 police scan, you need to cause as much damage as possible, and kill everybody. The notoriety bar needs to be full at the bottom, but white, for this to work. Use a gun to kill any person who tries to call the police before the bar has filled up. Once the bar is completely filled however, let someone call the police. The bar will still be full, but it will turn yellow. Once the scan starts, either jump in a boat, or find a nice long straight road to escape. If you go inside a yellow police scan circle on the mini map, it is recommended to use a jam comms so you don't get detected.

Black Hat Trick
Kill 3 enemies with a single IED

There are multiple opportunities in the game to get this. Get in a police chase, and throw an IED has a pretty high chance of working. Alternatively, enter a gang hideout and use lures to group enemies together.

Freeware
Unlock every Skill in the Skills Tree

Hardware Fail
Shoot out a tire on 15 different vehicles

Tires are the round things on the bottom of cars. Make sure you shoot the black bit, not the metal rim. The Spider-Tank digital trip is good if you want to quickly get this. Otherwise, simply go to a parking lot and shoot out the tires on 15 different vehicles, use your silenced pistol to avoid citizens unnecessarily calling the police.

Magic Smoke
Kill 4 enemies with a single Focus effect

Focus is activated when you press the right analogue stick R3 while controlling Aiden. There are many other places to get this trophy. Getting a drink from a restaurant increases your focus. You obtain focus by unlocking it in the skill tree, but make sure it's fully upgraded before attempting this trophy.

Bookmarked
Tag 100 enemies

Simply looking at an enemy with your phone out or looking through a camera will tag them, allowing you to see through walls. The amount of times you come in contact with enemies in the story means this trophy should be unlocked well before completion.

Communication Fail
Using non-lethal takedown, stop 10 civilians from calling to report you

Pop a few caps in the air at a public place or steal some cars (that are on the road, not parked) and you're bound to have some guy or gal phone the police. A warning triangle will appear over the aforementioned citizen when this happens, sprint over to them and press Circle to break their phone. Don't let the warning triangle fill up, or the police will begin scanning for you.

Hard Crash
Perform 10 vehicle take-downs

You can take down another enemy vehicle in many different ways, use a steam pipe eruption, ram them, use blockers, etc... As long as an enemy car is no longer drivable, it counts as a take down. Shooting cars with your guns won't count, they have to 'crash'. A take down notification will pop up in the top right of your screen when you take down a car.

Enforcer
Use the Crime Detection System to take down 20 confirmed criminals

Crime detection is like Minority Report without bingo balls. You can hack peoples phones for potential crimes, otherwise they randomly pop up on your HUD from time-to-time. Set a waypoint to the location, and profile everyone until you find someone with a yellow bar near their name that says either that person will be a victim or a suspect. Follow them until the yellow bar goes red, and then intervene. You can chase the suspect down, or just shoot them, either way it counts towards this trophy. When you're following either the victim or the suspect, the bar has to go red for them to be confirmed criminals.
