How to unlock the Crime Buster achievement in Alpha Protocol - Definitive Guide
There are 3 requirements to trigger this :
- Void the other 2 endings, which can be done by making sure Leland doesnt "trust" you (meaning : below +4 like). If Leland doesnt offer you a job at the beginning of the final mission, you're good. If he does, refuse/punch him.
- During the Moscow mission "Intercept Surkov at US Embassy", you MUST bluff the guards at the entrance and make them you allies. Which means : do NOT avoid them by using the ladder to get around them, do NOT shoot any guards even by mistake once the firefight begins, do NOT go outside using the door on the second floor or you'll be considered an intruder even if you made them your allies (but on your way back to save Surkov, you can go out using that exit, the sniper will be there if you bought the intel).
If you fail any of the above, you will see it in a RED sentence in your debreifing at the end of the mission. And at some point Leland will tell you that you can never hope to reconcile with Alpha Protocol, that you are alll alone.
- Lastly, IF you spared Shaheed during Saudi Arabia (if you executed him, you're good), you can meet up with him again before the final mission. He will ask if you're willing to betray America. Your answer MUST be no.
I was also trying to go for the 'Judge, Jury and Executioner' achievement, so I executed everyone that I had the chance to during the game.
I also was going for the 'Youth Trumps Experience' and the 'Never Trust A Sociopath' achievements.
So by the time I reached the end game mission, I was hated by Heck, and had executed everyone, including Marburg.
During the final interrogation room scene with Leland, he never offered me a job. At the end of the final mission, Leland was the boss, and again, I executed him as soon as I had the chance.
I'm sure there are many other ways to obtain the achievement, but it's how I did it
*************************************************************************
Step One: Spare Shaheed in Saudi Arabia.
Step Two: Talk to Shaheed in the Endgame, choose "NO" when asked to betray your country.
Step Three: Reject Leland's offer of a job/punch him.
Step Four: If he's alive, tell Marburg to F*** Off.
Step Five: Contact Parker, select the "Analysis Flawed" option.
There you go.
There are several requirements you need to fulfill in order to pull off this ending, none of which are too difficult. The biggest things you need to keep in mind are as follows.
- During the Moscow mission "Intercept Surkov at US Embassy", do not kill any of the embassy guards/marines stationed here. Killing even one will insure that you cannot reconcile with Alpha Protocol, voiding this achievement. Just bluff your way past them when given the chance.
- If you spared Shaheed during Saudi Arabia, you will be given the option of meeting up with him at the end of the game. If you do, he will ask if you're willing to betray America, do not.
- This is the game's default ending, so if you void the other two ending achievements, this will always come up.
Upon completing the game, the achievement will unlock.
On the missions "Intercept Surkov at US Embassy", "Intercept NSA Intelligence", and "Bug CIA Listening Post", do not kill any American agents. If you haven't killed Shaheed, do not agree to betray your country in the "Contact Sheikh Ali Shaheed" mission. When Leland offers you employment, take the deal. You will again fight Westridge as the final boss. Once you have defeated him, arrest or execute Westridge, then betray Leland. The trophy should pop right around the time that Leland explodes (or is arrested, if you're boring).
