How to unlock the Master Journalist achievement in Dead Rising 4 - Definitive Guide

12 Dec 2016 01:32

A title update was released January 30, 2017 that resolved the completion percentage issue. This achievement is now obtainable, but certain other bugs may limit your ability to meet certain conditions.

AS OF 3:00PM ET JANUARY 18 2017: Currently it appears this achievement is either unobtainable, or the exact requirements are unknown. Those that have completed all tasks provided in this guide end up with only ~97% completion. It's not believed that multiplayer progress is required for this achievement.

Your Jorunalism Score is your total game completion. At the end of each case your progress is shown and your journalism title is given. In order to unlock this achievement you will need 100% single-player completion. 100% multiplayer completion is not needed for this achievement. To get the Mast Journalist ranking, you must:

Complete all story cases
Simply play through the story. You can come back and select any cases once you've completed them to unlock any additional achievements.

Unlock all skills
You'll need to be at least level 100 before all of the skills become available, and you should have just about enough points to unlock all of them once you do. There also also several skills unlocked from magazines found throughout Willamette. I'll update the guide once I have the locations of them all.

If you've completed the story and still need to reach level 100 (I finished at level 71), I would recommend going for the Left 100,004 Dead 2 achievement if you haven't already. Otherwise, completing trials will give you a considerable amount of PP.

The Left 100,004 Dead 2 achievement in Dead Rising 4 worth 228 pointsKill 200,008 zombies

Acquire all blueprints
There are 55 blueprints acquired from completing cases or found throughout Willamette. At each shelter you can purchase maps from the Locations Vendor that will show you all of the blueprints in each district. Some of the blueprints will be locked inside panic rooms or storage closets, which you'll need the keys to access. Maps for their locations can be purchased as well. You can find a guide on all blueprint locations here:

The Innovator achievement in Dead Rising 4 worth 77 pointsCollect all Blueprints in Story Mode

Acquire all notebook items
You'll need to collect all newspapers, cell phones, podcasts, cloud uploads and take a photo of each key character.

You can purchase maps for the collectibles from the Locations Vendor in each emergency shelter, but the maps for uploads and zombie tags require each shelter to be level 5. For the most part, the Seasoned Journalist achievement covers everything:

The Seasoned Journalist achievement in Dead Rising 4 worth 83 pointsSolve all of the Mysteries

For the character photos, you'll want to be diligent about taking them as soon as you can, as most characters only show up for a brief moment in certain cases. There are 16 characters in total.

Frank Algernon West - Unlocked by default
Vick Chu - Unlocked by default
Kylie Hammond - Cases 2, 4, 5
Jessa Yatsuda - Cases 2, 4
Jordan Maxwell - Cases 2, 4, 5
Connor McMann - Cases 1, 2, 4
Isaac Tremaine - Cases 2, 4
Tom Pickton - Cases 2, 4, 5
Brad Park - Case 1
Dr. Diane Brightburn - Case 3
Dr. Russel Barnaby - Case 3, take a photo of his picture
Darcey - Cases 2, 4
Paula - Cases 2, 4
Lance Corporal Calder - Case 5
Maria Eleanor Raquel Fontana - Case 4
James Caballero - Case 2

Complete all trials
Trials are divided up between Photography, Combat and Exploration. Follow the guide for the Workin Hard achievement for instructions on how to complete all of them:

The Workin' Hard achievement in Dead Rising 4 worth 446 pointsComplete all Trials

Find all Panic Rooms
There are 31 Panic Rooms throughout Willamette, each requiring a key to enter. The locations of the keys can be found by purchasing a map from Locations Vendors in each emergency shelter. Once you have the key, a blue circle will show up somewhere on the map giving you the general area of the Panic Room. To find the entrance, you'll need to use the Spectrum Analyzer mode of the camera to find a handprint. Once tagged, it will allow you to open the secret passage to the panic room. Once you've unlocked the panic room, it will show up as a pink icon on the map.

You can view your progress for most of these in game via the dossier, or from the main menu under Extras>Statistics. Panic rooms do not show up in the dossier, but will be given as a number at the bottom of the statistics screen and on the case completion screen.

hmmmmm which guide?
I don't know if someone deleted his own guide but i don't see any and that would have been really useful

By ParadoxReal8 on 23 Oct 2017 22:07

I have found the problem to these glitches... if you collect the training manuals in multiplayer and then try to collect them in single player it won't count. It's happened to me. For Example: Say if you pick up the Evasion Training Manual in Multiplayer and then collect it in single player, in single player it will say 1/1 but still be greyed out and won't count. Now moving forward to collectable icons showing up in the Single Player map but not appearing..... if you pick up any collectables such as blueprints or zombie tag photos in Multiplayer they will no longer be obtainable in Single Player. I have started a fresh save without touching Multiplayer and got everything over again from collectables, pp trials including the 250k zombie kills. Everything in Single is now at it should be, all skills obtained with training manuals,all collectables, etc. Sitting at 100% Journalist Status. But no achievement. So either way we will have to wait for a patch for the achievement to register. As for those with glitched collectables and skills. I've read somewhere that when a patch is realeased it may fix the achievement for future gamers but to those who have already played the game and got these glitches you will have to start over. And take it from me, do NOT touch the Multiplayer mode on your new save, don't even think about that mode, don't ask it out on a date, don't ask it how it's day is going. Stay away. Master Journalist is all I have left to get so hopefully Capcom pushes an update soon :(

By on 29 Dec 2016 19:33

Okay literally fuck this game. I started a new save on this pathetic excuse for a full-retail game post patch in the hopes that I could obtain all collectibles, because they glitched out on my last playthrough. I get to Case 5 and I'm combing through them and what a surprise!! As I get to the end, I start to realize I will only end up with 40 of 41 newspapers. At this point, someone may be asking themselves "Well obviously you've missed one, SL1CK CHR1S." Well you'd be mistaken. There are no more newspaper icons on my map. This game has shafted me out of 4 achievements yet again. I've actually wasted my fucking time yet again. At least I know I'm never buying another Capcom game ever again. I just thought I would rant a little here, before I cry myself to sleep because I realize I could have spent my free time these past few days doing something useful. Fuck. This. Game.

By SL1CK CHR1S on 09 Feb 2017 06:54

im currently playing this shit on PS4 had to restart some things a few times.

best way to deal with this game.

speedrun story first, get all blueprints and manuals. then restart story do trials and collectible mop upfinish everything except zombie kills. make sure save file is fine, safehouses are ok, check time played and that found blueprints in your menu screen match the story progress window on the title screen. and back up on cloud and USB since you just don't know how messed up your save is till it's too late.

since finishing the game completely the first time I've never been able to case select, it only loads the final cutscene, credits and then title screen, whether you have finished the cases or not previously, you must finish the whole game after all trials are done. so I recommend getting the 250k kills before finishing multiplayer.

you can start multiplayer after finding every blueprint without fear just don't play for hours and hours, boost bosses and missions on day 1 till you've got gold bars and cash comming out your ears and solo day 2 for best mission/boss gain, if you save bosses till after speed demon trial, you can quit out after boss and restart without waiting for safehouse pop.

By JakThaRiPP3R84 on 03 Feb 2020 00:09

There must be something else missing because I have all of those stats fully completed and my overall completion is only 97%

By Kelky 111 on 12 Dec 2016 10:44

I have the same issue as Kelky111, everything completed but my percentage is stuck at 98%, instead of 97%

By jvl 92 on 12 Dec 2016 17:53

@jvl 92 do you have all of the clothing items collected? I can't see if the safehouses level 5 thing makes a difference because mine all reset from 5 down to level 1 and they won't level up

By Kelky 111 on 12 Dec 2016 20:57

If we get a definitive answer on what else is needed, I'll update the solution. Considering no one at all has the achievement, there may be an issue with its tabulations.

By WackFiend on 12 Dec 2016 23:04

I just completed a case, and one statistic on the journalism report that isn't anywhere else is "Panic Rooms Found X/31". You'll likely need those to reach 100%. I updated the guide to reflect this.

By WackFiend on 13 Dec 2016 02:53

I think the multiplayer progress is also considered.

By Taipei Kindom on 13 Dec 2016 04:14

@WackFiend I already found all the panic rooms so it must be something else.

By Kelky 111 on 13 Dec 2016 11:08

This isn't really a solution. It's just a list of stuff that isn't currently accurate. A solution would either have all of the information required to acquire the stuff above or a link to other locations that have the information. All you have done is copy a screen that the game already provides for you at the end of each mission.

By Rashaka1 on 13 Dec 2016 18:00

U can tell this achievement is glitched because the tracker stays at 0%... Guess we need to wait for an update lol

By Darren XBL on 14 Dec 2016 00:25

@Rashaka1 Getting more in-depth would be redundant as there are separate achievements for most if not all of the requirements. Following the solutions for those achievements is advised. I can link to them in the solution if you'd prefer.

This solution is provided so that people can have an idea of what is required, as the achievement itself does not describe it. If you feel you can provide a better solution, feel free to provide one.

By WackFiend on 14 Dec 2016 01:06

I'm just telling you why you are getting negative votes. Once I have a complete guide I will post one up. If you don't want to make your guide better to stop getting negative votes that's up to you.

By Rashaka1 on 14 Dec 2016 01:32

Yeah, you've been warned

By Taipei Kindom on 14 Dec 2016 12:30

Last photo you need is Dr. Barnaby, during the investigation inside Dr. Brighthorns house, you will need to take an additional picture of the photo, unless you take one prior to the investigation.

By Silvos on 14 Dec 2016 22:19

@Silvos Thanks. I kept racking my brain trying to think of who else it could be.

By WackFiend on 14 Dec 2016 22:44

Occasionally upon loading up my campaign save and backing out to Main Menu my "Story Mode" progress jumps up to 99% from it's typical 98%.... All I can say is the game is clearly glitched, the MP Completion % is also stuck around 93% factoring in unobtainable Skill Books that are located outside of the mall where you can't go in MP...

By De4th By Toast on 14 Dec 2016 22:55

Also MP stats sometimes show Trials or Blueprints needing collection, despite having everything in that mode for some time... I think it's safe to say Capcom not only rushed the Development of this game at the expensive of a coherent story, but possibly co-op, much needed polish when it comes to cliping and vehicle physics, and sadly achievements for us Completionists out there...

By De4th By Toast on 14 Dec 2016 23:00

@De4th by Toast I know what you mean about the blueprints. I picked up a couple in multiplayer, and their icon still shows up in single-player. I've also encountered a glitch where my North Peak shelter is stuck at level 1, despite rescuing survivors, which means I cannot purchase all of the collectible maps.

Due to the Christmas theme, I'm sure Capcom Vancouver were on a strict deadline to release this before the holidays, and in some aspects it definitely shows.

By WackFiend on 14 Dec 2016 23:19

@WackFiend In the skills section of your guide it says that you need to be at least level 80 to unlock the skills but there is a skill for unlimited sprint that is locked until you reach level 100

By Kelky 111 on 14 Dec 2016 23:39

Yup Innovator is glitched for me so far although I built all combo weapons (got the tape it or die fanatic achievement). Please everyone in here and who reads this the closest you can get to developers is right here. So spread the words till the notice it:

By BLAZE VII on 15 Dec 2016 12:58

They possibly are, I was even thinking maybe the clothes as well? But I doubt it (hopefully).

By Mullock on 23 Dec 2016 01:57

The last 3 skill books I need for this achievement have bugged out. The same issue as Basement Cheese. What a joke.

By Mottdwi on 15 Dec 2016 15:03

@Kelky 111 Thanks. I was at work when I wrote this all up. I'll update that now.

By WackFiend on 15 Dec 2016 15:06

I'm pretty sure the Frank Rising DLC is required to unlock this. Think about it; the dlc will most likely include missions, blueprints, mysteries, etc. to the single player.

By OPT1CS on 18 Dec 2016 11:08

I honestly don't think that a DLC would be required to get the Original 1000G but hey we're talking about the Company that is well known for selling on Disc content as DLC so.. who knows.

By Flames80 on 18 Dec 2016 12:46

I just asking for Get a Journalism Score of 100% require multiplayers count for 100% on story or not? and collections clothes, too? I just curiously... Let me know about this. My progress is 90%.

By on 18 Dec 2016 20:40

We should tell Capcom too get of their fannies

By on 19 Dec 2016 03:20

Maybe by unlocking all perks for both multiplayer and solo mode should help.

By GodFather047 on 19 Dec 2016 16:06

Nonsense, nothing helps since it is clearly GLITCHED. As already posted before just use the link I provide and open your mouth there cause they sure ain't reading s*** in here, that's the closest you can get to a developer of the game:

http://www.capcom-unity.com/dead_rising/go/forum/view/7491/2...

By BLAZE VII on 19 Dec 2016 17:32

Nevermind, I just loaded the game and it prompted a 5.5GB UPDATE guys.

Holy moly they better fixed lots!

By BLAZE VII on 19 Dec 2016 17:40

Have your safehouse been reset with this update?

By Streiter Elite on 19 Dec 2016 20:18

Bummer what a great update for jacks****. I don't see a difference, same glitches same bugs. Especially one panic room with an blue objective to kill Obscuris to free survivors is totally out of the map and can't be reached!

By BLAZE VII on 19 Dec 2016 22:16

Well I just got a Journalism score of 100% in story. The achievement hasn't unlocked but I will update you all if it does. Still have a few things in multiplayer to get but I can't see that counting.

By Streiter Elite on 20 Dec 2016 00:34

I started at Case 1 and built the shelters back up to level 5 but the achievement still hasn't popped yet.

By Streiter Elite on 20 Dec 2016 13:08

I also got 100% journalist score at the end of case 5 and no achievement unlocked for me. I have also done all multiplayer trials, multiplayer stats are on 98%. I am going to finish case 6 and see if that makes any difference. I did notice a second multiplayer skill manual added that wasn't there before since the update. So I may go searching for the rest later.

By Ginger King Pin on 20 Dec 2016 14:56

Have you checked the blueprints in multiplayer statistics?. Mine currently says 4 but I know I have earned more and I only have 5 trials left to do so I am looking at the same problem when they are finished.

By Streiter Elite on 21 Dec 2016 00:07

^ My stats for multiplayer blueprints are maxed. I am only missing skills which relate to multiplayer training manuals. I will collect the rest of these later now we know the locations. I tried clearing my cache and replayed Misson 6 with 100% journo score and still no achievement.

By Ginger King Pin on 21 Dec 2016 08:28

I was going to post a link to a pic showing my 100% but the website is being very unhelpful.

I haven't done anything differently than the solution. Went through the game, collecting stuff as I found it, beat the story, then went through and got everything else. Unless the patch moved people from 97% to 100%, there is nothing I can think of that took me to 100% that the rest of you probably haven't done. I haven't even finished the MP stuff yet.

By Bonkekook on 21 Dec 2016 23:28

If my memory serves right, I'm currently around the 97-99% mark (think I'm at 99%). Level 97 and need 8 trials, which are as follows:

100k zombies
250k zombies
Buying x amount of items from vendors
Buying x amount of combo weapons
A-Rank Destruction
S-Rank Destruction
War Zone
Lemmings

Everything else is done. I know this is kinda a stretch, but since I know you don't need all of these to get all the blueprints, is it possible that those locker keys that we can't track are in some way connected to this achievement?

By Kigurumi Kalina on 22 Dec 2016 20:59

I currently am missing one phone, which knocks me out of solving all of the mysteries, beating all of the trials, and getting my journalism score to 100. It's stuck at 86 of 87, but there are no cellphone symbols left on my map.

By SL1CK CHR1S on 18 Jan 2017 20:32

I've got 100% journalism on story mode, and don't have all the clothes, so I don't think having all the clothes will make your percentage go up. My journalist report for 100% says journalist laureate.

I haven't done all of the MP yet, so don't know if that makes a difference since the patch, but on the title screen it says Lv. 100 / 85%. So I'm hoping once I've done all the MP, it might unlock the achievement.

By DJ RJester on 24 Dec 2016 09:53

I have 100% as well and clothes are DEFINITELY NOT COUNTING. I still miss a few like 10+!

By BLAZE VII on 25 Dec 2016 14:12

After posting on Reddit about nobody having this unlocked. A pc player commented that they unlocked it. I am confident storyline only counts and this is just glitched on Xbox one for now. Now we just wait for a patch.

By Akshun on 25 Dec 2016 15:34

@Akshun Do you have a link to that reddit thread? According to TA nobody on the Win 10 version has it either. So I would be interested to know more about it

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 26 Dec 2016 03:45

Well I just got this game but I think I will wait.

By Kanchanaburi on 27 Dec 2016 02:48

@SWYD1

Yeah same here I got everything but in stats it says 7/15 blueprints for multiplayer!

By BLAZE VII on 27 Dec 2016 09:57

I have everything at 100% The total progress and mp and sp show 100% and no achievement. Collected all skills in mp and sp and nothing is missing in my status screen.

By DanteTheDutch on 27 Dec 2016 15:34

My skill book grays out two of my skills that i clearly have it says 1/1 like i previously commented, now when i go into my skills page it says 105/107. Though when i go the my statistics page it says 106/107 with 100% in both SP and MP........we have to call someone.

By on 28 Dec 2016 01:33

@ SWYD1

It shows 100% in sp and mp. Only problem is that i see a blueprint on my map in sp that i have collected in mp. I wonder if somebody started a new save and completed the sp at 100% and didn't touch the mp. It's too mch work for me to try that.

By DanteTheDutch on 28 Dec 2016 14:00

@ xlRJFx Thanks for the information, I hope that when they release a patch for this that everyone who already earned 100% will not have to do it again because that would be so unfair for putting in so many hours of work and have it all go to waste. I will probably never playing Dead Rising 4 again if that happens.

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 01 Jan 2017 02:39

i can confirm if you pick up a blue print in mp dispite it showing on the map in single the achievement at least for all the story blue prints will unlock

By on 01 Jan 2017 16:44

You can photograph Tom as a person of interest when you're fighting him in case 5 as well. I just did it.

By Vestride on 01 Jan 2017 20:37

Got 100% but no achievement .. hope in a fix ... that sucks ...

By skjoldr on 04 Jan 2017 03:42

Unfortunately, I did not get INNOVATOR as I had collected a BP during MP. If I'd have realised earlier, I would have started again.
So I started a new game with NO MP, all seem s good atm.
However, the most worrying aspect is the TOTAL silence from the developers, what is the matter with them.
Certainly no DLC or CAPCOM games for me if this continues, very, vey poor customer care!!
Shame on you CAPCOM.

By alandonovan on 10 Jan 2017 20:52

its worth noting that maxing out shelter levels allows you to buy all collectible locations

By Markyshizzle on 11 Jan 2017 13:25

I actually have a journalism score of 100% on the story, but still the achievement has not popped. I had to go back and 're level up my safe houses as I played some multi player and all my safe houses were reset to 0.

By bodsrus on 16 Jan 2017 00:37

Just noticed my % on the main menu went up 3%. in the bottom left where it says lvl and %

I was at 90% and the only thing that could have increased it is assigning unspent skill points in multiplayer. I'm level 88 and hadn't bothered to spend them in ages. So when I was finished playing I noticed it had gone up to 93% I had not done any trials or found any skill books in that session as I had them before this . So has anyone got 100 in both multiplayer and single player?

Like others some of my numbers on the stats from from the main menu/extras are screwed up as my safe houses reset and on the multiplayer one it says I have 9/15 blueprints which is wrong, it should be 12 as I only have 3 weapons left to get from the 3 remaining trials in MP. DO these have to be made? Guess I can test this later.

By Calex dEUS on 18 Jan 2017 10:39

Well that sounds promising. Thanks @Akshun for the update. I for one am waiting to play DR4 again until they push another patch- way too many issues. Also interested to see if they address the Geronimo Trial being unattainable after you level your health up. Really don't fancy starting over again.

By QuanticJustice on 20 Jan 2017 03:40

So, I finished the single player campaign and got 100% in everything, but no achievement.

http://imgur.com/d1kSGGD
http://imgur.com/5OHFZAT

I'm know others have said it's not tied to multiplayer, but not having played any multiplayer, I do see that I'm at 70% completion when I returned to the DR4 home screen.

http://imgur.com/iJ6z8xl

Wondering if the achievement is a full comprehensive 100% completion?

By RobG88 on 22 Jan 2017 20:07

Can anyone tell me how to get to the tag in north peak in the upper top right of the map

By Fearless NY on 23 Jan 2017 00:55

Fearless DE, you can get that one by going back to the first case where you are with Vick

By stretters87 on 23 Jan 2017 02:37

I'm at 99% just need level 100 and 250k zombie kills trial.

By Crosly on 25 Jan 2017 14:11

Apparently a patch is coming out Monday, Jan. 30. The news release didn't specifically mention this glitch but it said several will be fixed and I can't imagine this isn't covered by it. So hopefully many of us will have this unlocked Monday.

By ResidentialEvil on 27 Jan 2017 16:21

yeah, the achievements are online already, hopefully they've fixed this so i can finally start!

By Kanchanaburi on 27 Jan 2017 19:49

Yeah really want to start this too looks great . I hope it gets fixed for everyone this time.

By MC PHILABUSTA on 27 Jan 2017 20:52

I've been holding off on playing more of this since writing this guide, as a lot of bugs have limited my ability to complete more. Once the patch releases on Monday, I'll keep a close eye out for the changes and update this guide with any new information.

By WackFiend on 27 Jan 2017 20:56

I do hope the update that brings two new achievements fixies the bugs as well have not been on this since because of the major bugs

The update is live now, I'm downloading it now

*posting for updates*

By D34dBodyMan on 30 Jan 2017 06:06

Please, inform us also if counters and/or ureacheable items are fixed... thanks!

By The New Wober on 30 Jan 2017 06:53

It's still broken!!! My last 2 training manuals are still greyed out even though it says 1/1 which means I already picked them up. I even went back and picked up the evasion manual again and it didn't register. Also, the melee, ranged and thrown manual wasn't even there when I went back to pick it up. But even if it was, it wouldn't have registered anyway just like the evasion manual.
It's annoying because I can see a few people on here were able to unlock the achievement but I'm stuck @ 99% because the damn training manuals won't update properly!

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 30 Jan 2017 07:55

For me I was missing the precision targeting manual from the vendor in old town. My safe rooms got reset and the update somewhat fixed them restoring them all to at least level 3.

On loading the game and going back to the main menu I went from 92% to 99% I was able to buy the manual but it did not get applied to my skills so I'm still at 106/107.

Unsure whether to restart or not just wondering if the increase in completion % was as a result of buying the book or just other stats being fixed

By Calex dEUS on 30 Jan 2017 10:07

after update I have them shelters to 0, any solution to retrieve them for the achievement? is that loading in some order cases or something is solved, help please

By PianoNE0 on 30 Jan 2017 11:20

Thank you for clarifying Crosly. I have the innovator bug so it looks like I need to do another complete play through. So happy I don't have to do multiplayer again.

By Akshun on 30 Jan 2017 12:12

Mine popped up this morning after I finished my last mulitplayer trial.

By ResidentialEvil on 30 Jan 2017 14:35

I have the training manual, melee, ranged and thrown weapon inventories by 1. Left I have picked up the magazine before this update it says 1/1 but this is the only cock block I have not retrieved this manual on multiplayer I don't really wanna start a new game and grind 250.000 zombies again. Stupid game and glitches!

By iTzDanski92 on 30 Jan 2017 14:45

I'm still at 87% but all my safe houses are now 5/7. So it seems people may need to repeat some stuff once the game syncs with the %

By D34dBodyMan on 30 Jan 2017 15:50

Is MP actually needed at all for this?? Also do the 2 new difficulties stack?

By II Kazz II on 30 Jan 2017 17:59

@ II Kazz II No multiplayer is not needed and yes difficulties do stack

if you are affected by the Training Manuals bug, skills showing 1/1 but grayed out icon. Your only choices are to wait for another update or redo every single single player trial from scratch on new save

By xGamBeaTx on 30 Jan 2017 20:13

Same here. I saw the update posted on Facebook and decided to check out the costumes. It popped while my game was loading in.

By Life Is A Grave on 30 Jan 2017 20:53

Great fix
If one of your training manuals has glitched out just spend a skill point in multiplayer and it will unlock straight away.

By Darren XBL on 30 Jan 2017 21:12

Does not require 100% multiplayer. I am 100% Story and 95% Multiplayer and it popped as I loaded up my story on case 6.

By Crosly on 30 Jan 2017 21:38

Trash trash trash, everything is literally the same for me. I did multiple tests for Innovator and the Geronimo trial in MP, still nothing. Hell I even completed the hardest difficulty BLACKEST FRIDAY which requires you to start a fresh game and I went to the location with the bugged blueprint (2nd floor mall west wing) and it does still show up on the map but not when you get there. Shame on you CRAPcom. I'm so done with them...

By BLAZE VII on 30 Jan 2017 22:16

Thanks to everyone who posted the workaround for the skill book glitch!

By CompanyOfWolves on 30 Jan 2017 22:31

What about us who have already unlocked all skills in multiplayer? No options here but to start over. What a fabulous waste of time.

By JohnnyInterfnk on 31 Jan 2017 03:30

...I have to gain 7 levels to gain my last skill in MP...

By D34dBodyMan on 31 Jan 2017 07:35

Will try the multiplayer skill point thankfully I was only level 89 haha!

By iTzDanski92 on 31 Jan 2017 11:39

Ah wait I'm level 94 I can't spend a skill point until level 100 damn!

By iTzDanski92 on 31 Jan 2017 11:52

Guys I've emailed Capcom and I suggest if you are in the same predicament as me that you also send them one - feedback@capcom.com

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 31 Jan 2017 14:09

I woke up this morning to find out I had 17 new comments on this solution...

I'm glad it's finally unlocking for people. I haven't had a chance to play myself since the update came out, and I still have a ways to go for 100% anyway thanks to some bugs, but I will update the guide to let people know it is now obtainable.

For those that have unlocked the achievement, is the information in the guide still correct? Is anything additional needed for 100%?

By WackFiend on 31 Jan 2017 15:32

Can confirm that unlocking a multiplayer skill will unlock this chevo! (for some reason) As to the guide it is still 100% correct @WackFiend!

By Smaugey on 31 Jan 2017 18:23

I had 100% story mode (94% MP) before the update. On loading case 6 the cheevo popped. Going to try the hardest difficulty . Not expecting much though.

By Streiter Elite on 31 Jan 2017 18:57

My problem with the achievement is that it claims I'm missing the Arcane Writings second poem, buuut I have no more collectible icons on the map. This patch has effectively done nothing. This is straight up unacceptable

By SL1CK CHR1S on 01 Feb 2017 02:58

I'm here to confirm that unlocking one skill unlocked master journalist for me. I had the Innovator bug 54/55 blueprints and this worked. If your cell phones or other stats are glitched just try getting one MP skill and see if it works for you. Running through the game on a new save to get all the blueprints again and be done with this game.

By Akshun on 01 Feb 2017 21:55

I have 3/4 shelters gold and the 4th one stuck at 0 out of 5 and cant get it to re spawn the task to re take it :(

EDIT: After hours of trying to get it back, as soon as i post this it allows me to re take the shelter finally! Achievement popped straight after

i have 99% for trials in multiplayer and story, journal score. but, problem is Geronimo in multiplayer and i have health 1,500. I need get it. I must start new game for this or wait for other patch for this? I don't want waste my time.

By on 03 Feb 2017 04:09

skill 106/107 for grey training manual move efficiency by 1/1 brawling. Please, fix for this, too. Thanks.

By on 03 Feb 2017 04:27

Is there any consensus on whether or not you need do do the multiplayer trials for unlock Master Journalist? I've seen some people say that multiplayer is not needed and here people are saying that it does. I'd certainly like some concrete explanations from Capcom.

By SL1CK CHR1S on 03 Feb 2017 21:33

I am level 97 on MP I have the SP skill glitch one skill is greyed out so 2 questions.

1. I have 9skill points left but can't buy my last skill until level 100 (unlimited sprint) would that work?

2. Any faster ways to earn pp in MP I just keep loading level 4 hoping randoms join to get the 4000pp for all players returning to safe house

By iTzDanski92 on 04 Feb 2017 18:23

That's what I been doing joining random half way through going to the safe house collecting the bonus xp and leaving / repeating. Unless I'm with a group that knows what they are doing to get max kill bonus

By D34dBodyMan on 04 Feb 2017 18:26

By iTzDanski92 on 04 Feb 2017 18:27

Yeah I normally start solo because I have bad luck I end up joining when they are on 8pm on level 1 and not even done the last mission which is normally something stupid like kill 50zombies with acid maul or something haha so no bonus for killing the boss haha

By iTzDanski92 on 04 Feb 2017 20:17

Have you reached level 100 and obtained this achievement this way ? :)

By iTzDanski92 on 04 Feb 2017 20:18

I can confirm that when you have everything done for the achievement, but grayed out skills in Single Player. Getting a skill in Multiplayer grants you the achievement. When you play MP, you check the statistics and it says 100% for SP.

By xGamBeaTx on 04 Feb 2017 21:37

@xGamBeaTx - The problem with that is you need to have a skill left to purchase in the MP skills section. Not just any skill like brawling, etc. If you are like me, and most others who are going for this achievement then you have already maxed out your MP skills so this does not work. What @vG x Madness is asking is that if you have other skills left to buy such as a brawling skill, can you get to level 100 in MP and buy one of those skills and will the achievement unlock then. Correct?

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 05 Feb 2017 02:18

Buying a skill in mp didnt work still at 99%

By on 05 Feb 2017 10:28

To clarify, i got too 100 bought infite sprint and i still have 105/107 skills unlocked in sp

By on 05 Feb 2017 10:33

@bu5hr4ng3r - I had skill left in Fortitude tree and buying that one gave me achievement.

By xGamBeaTx on 05 Feb 2017 10:44

I can also confirm that unlocking a skill in MP does indeed fix the SP issue. Just lucky I had 2 left.

By MoneyShot360 on 05 Feb 2017 21:32

I'm going to say unlocking a skill in MP only works If you have equal or more skill to unlock vs grayed out skills in SP.

For myself I had 1 gray skill in SP and 1 skill left in MP. upon buying the Skills i got the achievement.

As for Basement cheese above. he had 2 grayed out skills in SP and 1 skill left in MP and the achievement did not unlock for him.

By D34dBodyMan on 05 Feb 2017 22:32

Just tried that method finally managed to hit level 100 and gain the last MP skill and it does work still thanks gamers can say I am never playing this game again unless there's free dlc again :) good luck guys

By iTzDanski92 on 05 Feb 2017 23:09

I think it should work if you have 2 SP skills greyed out not 100% but after a long grind to hit level 100 in MP I was able to spend my skill points on unlimited sprint i guess if you are below level 80 and have single player things to find, cell phones, newspapers get the progress to 99% then buy a skill on MP makes it less of a grind

By iTzDanski92 on 05 Feb 2017 23:13

Thought it would be fixed by now I can't buy skill move efficiency and food inventory slot +2 even though I have both training manual. I already have all multiplayer skills and just wasted time getting to lvl 100 in single player. Maybe starting a new game might fix this on the same save? Because I heard if you start a new game on the harder difficulty's everything carries over.

By A Jedi Knight on 05 Feb 2017 23:17

~Dragon-- Already tried, everything carried over but the skill was still gray when i purchased it. I pulled my network cable and reloaded my cloud save.

By D34dBodyMan on 05 Feb 2017 23:38

So i just went on multiplayer and unlocked some skills and it triggered the 100% achievement, now to replay on easy for Innovator i guess.

By Dave Bodom on 05 Mar 2017 15:44

Pay me no mind. The last newspaper was hiding underneath the Safehouse logo in North Peak. I'm a stupid doo doo head.

By SL1CK CHR1S on 09 Feb 2017 19:51

I had two manual skills grayed out in SP and only the last skill to unlock in multiplayer. As soon as I hit level 100 in multiplayer and unlocked the last skill my achievement unlocked.

By Slayer#5337 on 11 Feb 2017 16:53

I got the magazine in the west ridge safehouse & got the skill in game so 1+ inventory but in the skill tree it's still 27/28 skills & in the statistic also

By Charles D Wayne on 13 Feb 2017 10:28

Has anyone else had a panic room glitch??
I picked up the panic room key for McKenzie's Auto. I have the blue circle indicating where to use the key. I know where to use the key, but it stays as locked. No amount of case loading or beating the game on a higher difficulty has helped. I cannot pick up the key again.
This is why I cannot get 100% - I am stuck at 99%
I am open for suggestions.

By Wabalicious on 14 Feb 2017 23:11

At least the latest patch from yesterday didn't fix the progress issue when you are affected by the greyed-out but unlocked skills.

By Xervek on 15 Feb 2017 08:12

Quick question, I'm about to finish the main mission, should I hold off or will I be able to visit any part of the campaign with my stats intact? I missed a few people in photos and am concerned I won't be able to go back

By Knoell on 16 Feb 2017 00:16

you can reload any case. Go ahead...
I have 1 greyed out skill and have the book collected. MP only level 70 with lots of skills left to be bought. Should I grind to lvl 100 on mp first and then buy skills ?

By on 16 Feb 2017 09:12

Update : So what I found out is the following. If you have greyed out skills because training manuals didnt register in SP , you must collect them in MP. See this thread here :

Multiplayer Training Manuals Locations

Once you collect the greyed out ones in MP , then buying 1 skill will unlock the achievement. Before I collected the training manuals in MP I unlocked skills and nothing happened. I then collected all training manuals in MP and as soon as I bought 1 skill after that the achievement unlocked. Hope that helps some people. NB - Collect all the training manuals in Multiplayer !!!!! then unlock a skill.

By on 17 Feb 2017 17:30

@RAINKINGX1 - Thanks for the tip, unfortunately there are 2 training manuals glitched for me. 1 is in multiplayer (already collected) and the other is in single player. So there's no way for me to collect that single player one because it's in the main area of the game (not the mall) and you cannot get there without glitching through the map. Even if I could get there, no items ever load into the game if you go to that area in multiplayer.

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 18 Feb 2017 01:04

@Bu5hr4ng3r - the MP training manuals are in different locations compared to single player.
You can collect all MP training manuals even in episode 1 of MP. I sent you a pvt message with the locations. Good Luck. Let us know if it helped in any way.

By on 18 Feb 2017 05:43

Ok guys I FINALLY unlocked the achievement! All hail @ RAINKINGX1 <--- He basically told us what to do, It all comes down to collecting the multiplayer versions of your missing training manuals. I had 2 personally, when I went to their locations they were there!

Anyway, you must have a remaining skill to buy also. Luckily I was at level 100 and had marathon as a skill I could purchase. Once I had collected all the training manuals that were greyed out in multiplayer/single player and I bought that skill....it unlocked! Thank you so much dude, honestly. Didn't wanna have to replay everything again haha

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 18 Feb 2017 07:25

I have a glitched panic room, the Irish bar in old town. Picked up the key, blue circle, found panic room but won't let me open it, has the red 'locked' text. It's the last one I need, guess I'll just have to hope they patch it

By pantyhamster on 21 Feb 2017 16:23

I have that achievement at 99%, and I took 2 manuals that I was missing, but I did not let me activate the skills, does anyone know if they are going to repair it or what can be done?

By on 22 Feb 2017 02:25

I am also stuck at 99%. I have done everything there is to do, except the stats show 54/55 blueprints, but my blueprints page shows 55/55, so that is where the 1% is missing from. It's really damn annoying that this is still bugged after the patch.

The locker with the last blueprint I need in Big Bucks Hardware still says 'Locked' even though I have collected the key for it. Any workaround or am I screwed from 100%?

By Joey The Dawg on 02 Mar 2017 01:40

So post patch i've still landed an issue with the Blueprints where my dossier says i'm at 53 but the blueprint page says 55. There's no icons on the map and i can't buy them from vendors so i'm stuck at 99% journal, has there been any fix for this or any ideas?

I was going to delete save and collect the blueprints again on easy but i assume i'd need to then do all of the Trials again unless just the blueprints would trigger it?

By Dave Bodom on 05 Mar 2017 15:33

Is there a workaround? I only need to level up three more times to reach 100 in multiplayer but if I can unlock the achievement quicker somehow, I'd like to know.

By NJStalderXB on 11 Apr 2017 08:45

I also was finally able to unlock this achievement by purchasing a skill in MP while still showing 106/107 in SP. The training manual I was missing in SP just wasn't there (this appears to be the case with a lot of people) but everything else in SP was done. I purchased the extended exo suit perk in MP and the achievement unlocked immediately. I was level 93 in MP.

By Jerkkhammer on 23 Apr 2017 14:25

For some reason it says I have 8/15 blueprints? Is this the case for everyone? Don't want to grind to 100 for my last skill if its glitches. Thanks to anyone who shares feedback!

By Laab518 on 30 May 2017 15:58

Ok after a great deal of confusion (can you be suprised?) I realized the main menu will say 8/15 but the statistics under multiplayer will say 15/15. Hope this helps someone.

By Laab518 on 31 May 2017 14:36

I am having trouble with this one. Looking to boost to level 100. Currently on 95. Add me and let the slaughter begin

By ozzyboy87 on 29 Jun 2017 19:55

I can confirm that by reaching level 100 and unlocking the final skill the achievement pops

There must have been a guide there previously, I don’t know what happened to it. I updated this guide with the link you provided.

By WackFiend on 23 Oct 2017 23:42

Hi, just to confirm what others have said before: The achievement did not unlock for me even though I had everything done in SP and multiplayer (including all other achievements being unlocked). It showed 106/107 skills for me. I picked up the evasion manual, it showed 1/1 but was still grayed out and did not unlock the last skill in that skill tree. AFTER finishing my last trial in single player I went to the MP skill and bought a skill (just a random one) and the achievement luckily unlocked for me.

By VirusTk GaMBit on 29 Dec 2017 08:49

Any help. I have a glitch with blueprints i think - innovator didnt unlock for me, on stats in game 55/55, in stats from extras menu for story mode 52/55 for some reason. And i have 99% for story mode: all 107/107 skills, all trials etc, except 52/55 blueprints.
These my last 2 achievements in main game, and they both bugged. What can i do to unlock them? From comments i tryed to buy a MP skill - and that didnt do anything for me :(

By lab0kup on 07 Jan 2018 22:38

Try unlocking what ever you are missing in SP in MP

multiplayer blueprints are unlocked by completing the multiplayer trials

By D34dBodyMan on 07 Jan 2018 22:43

I have unlocked all MP achievements. Only a few skillpoints left, i tryed to buy a mp skill - nothing happened.
From SP i only missing 52/55 blueprints, well actually i am not missing anything, i have all done...

By lab0kup on 08 Jan 2018 08:33

NOTE: After playing through the game twice, once on normal and a second time on black friday, I restarted the game to finish up my LAST TRIAL for 250,000 kills. When i completed that, this DID NOT UNLOCK until I completed the ALL CASES for a third time and was able to see the 100% on the score sheet after escaping the mall.

By Kanchanaburi on 20 Feb 2018 20:26

Just want to confirm for the people with glitched training manuals in sp that unlocking multiplayer skills worked!!!

By on 08 Apr 2018 17:25

I got 106/107 with the melee,ranged thrown 1/1 grey. Tried everything. Picked up every manual in mp. Unlocked skill there nothing. Replayed case 6 to see if anything would happen but nothing. So im pretty screwed arent i?

By N1klas1997 on 11 Apr 2018 00:35

I’m never buying a Capcom game again. What a waste of my time to have one skill glitch from multiplayer. They’re literally that bad start developing Ganesh they can’t tell when you pick up a skin in multiplayer’s conpared to single player. What an embarrassing company.

By Lightz on 09 Sep 2018 13:02

So had everything done besides the 250,000 kills. Just finished that and I’m on case 3. Obviously I’ve done all the cases before, but to get this achievement do I need to finish the last three cases as well or can I just load up case 6 and finish that one?

By TBS Nikolai on 19 Dec 2018 06:53

I had picked up the evasion manual in m/p before getting it in single player so it was greyed out for me. Like other said, I completed everything until I only had that last evasion skill left. Started up a multiplayer game, unlocked a skill and the master journalist achievement popped!!

By KilldbyNecropsy on 31 May 2019 12:32

yeah mine was at 97% stuck even after 250,000 kills and all trials finished but had to finish the rest of the story and it unlocks right at the journal report before credits.

By jordaOwO on 07 Jan 2020 21:38

Decided to have another crack at this as it had glitched on me when it came out (skill book) and try to get a multiplayer skill as that worked for others. The only one I'd left to do was the one locked behind level 100. Didn't work for me. Though I'd post to save others the grind for that one.

By PiNoKioT on 29 Mar 2020 11:59

do youhave to do it all before you finish the last case and will it rest if you go out and start cases from the menu ?

By NoobgamerValbo on 01 Apr 2020 21:14

do you need to do multiplayer trials for this particular achievement?

By Paul Laserbeam on 24 Aug 2020 16:38

I got 100% on the journalist report today and the achievement didn't unlock. My tracker was stuck at 96%.

I didn't have any skill greyed out as other comments have mentioned but I went into multiplayer, unlocked a skill, and it popped.

By JayD101 on 14 Oct 2020 03:11

Got 100%, nothing. Bought a skill in MP, got it

By Maughty Bear on 06 Dec 2022 00:09

In case someone wonders, MP trials are not required for this achievement, only single player ones.

By BlackxRyan on 02 Jan 2023 19:28

Wont be able to get this now or the working hard cheevo. Final panic room is glitched for me, even though I have the key to it, i can’t open it, still says locked!
Little salty about it

By ElDylto1612 on 24 Feb 2023 11:23

hello , i have stuck at 99% at the release the game , now to 2023 i have reach 6 more lvl in multiplayer and i unlocked my cheevo

By hls bck on 23 Jul 2023 14:14

Suffered the skill book bug issue too, recollecting the skill books that bugged in Multiplayer and then unlocking one other random skill after popped it for me.

By EmG v SprayZz on 03 Jun 2024 17:27

Maybe you need to fully upgrade all the safe houses? Also, make sure you have photos of all the persons of interest. Those are semi-missable as at least one is the boss from Case 2.

I would complete a case and get to the results screen, see if it shows anything different. Obviously I haven't gotten the achievement yet, I just posted this guide based on what was found in game.

By WackFiend on 12 Dec 2016 17:35

Two of my skill books dont register...it says 1/1 but they are grayed out still its Evasion and Melee ranged and thrown

By on 15 Dec 2016 13:56

I completed the game with all but the 200,000 kills trials completed and got 97%. I completed the 200,000 kills - completing all trials, and when I completed the game I got 97%. So either a single trial is less worth than 1%, trials don't count towards master journalist, or the achievement is glitched.

By Mr SpinelesS on 19 Dec 2016 02:16

I'm currently on 99% Journalist score with the following uncompleted.

- Level 91 - missing 3 more skills to complete the set (last one unlocks at level 100).
- Kill 100,000 Zombies
- Kill 250,000 Zombies
- Kill 10 Evolved Enemies with the Fish Launcher (what a b*tch)
- Get an S-Rank Destruction Photo
- Get an A-Rank Destruction Photo

All other locations, trials, collectables & photos have been completed/discovered.
Safe rooms all at level 5.

Multiplayer trials are currently 35/57 at level 61 - I don't think they have an effect but will keep everyone posted. Hopefully the latest patch has fixed a few things and fingers crossed those that were at 97%+ aren't glitched or stuck there.

By Mullock on 22 Dec 2016 15:37

I'd 100/100 everything. I could see the clothes counting, but not so much the random keys. If the random keys do happen to count, then maybe the random safes in the back of a lot of shops as well? They require the special camera lens to open. Could be seen as journalism...

I'm not as close as the rest of you. Just a thought though.

By Knoell on 23 Dec 2016 09:56

Nothing concrete. We're looking into it and while I understand it's not a satisfying answer we're hoping to have it fixed as soon as possible. It should be included in the next update which will also have stuff addressing other issues - JeffreyCV (capcom rep on Reddit)

I have earned every achievement in the game today and all I can say is for those people who have their skill points glitched or have any glitch that prevent them for getting 100% story completion.... you most likely have to start a new save. The update has gone live and friends of mine still have their stats glitched :( Best thing to do is start a new save and do not touch multiplayer as it messes with story mode. For example.... if you pick up a training manual in multiplayer and go to pick that same one up in story mode it won't count, therefore it's glitched and unobtainable in story mode. I've had many friends do this unfortunately and so have I. I had to delete my save and make another one. This was back in December and now with the new Title Update I have managed to complete it

By on 30 Jan 2017 07:58

^ Nice! Looks like it was fixed in this latest patch.

I should unlock it when I boot up the game later today.

By Rathelon on 30 Jan 2017 15:34

just unlocked the chievo, i also have the training manual bug, but i got a skill point in multiplayer and *poop* chievo unlocked. so for the people that have this issue as well try getting a skill point in multiplayer

By Sperion on 30 Jan 2017 20:46

Thought I'd add in my experience to this. Prior to the latest update introducing the 2 newest difficulties I had encountered the blueprint glitch where even though I have all 55, the statistics in SP says 54/55 due to doing MP trials first and picking up a blueprint there. I still had my last 2 trials to do 100K/250K kills. After completing Blackest Friday difficulty I decided to grind out my kills. After this my story was at 99% and Game Progress at 97% and no Master Journalist achievement. I then quit to the main menu, went into the multiplayer skills menu and began buying skills with my leftover skill points and it actually unlocked.

My "Innovator" achievement is currently the only achievement I can't seem to get even though I have all blueprints, statistics page in SP pause menu says 54/55 but the statistics in MP pause menu says 55/55. Definitely a disaprity issue with picking up blueprints in multiplayer.

By ninjaraiden2003 on 31 Jan 2017 07:33

Found a forum thread on Capcom's website that I will be posting to, feel free to add your issues there as they want to continue to fix them as they arise.

By Bu5hr4ng3r on 02 Feb 2017 06:02

FYI everybody. I managed to get the final trial Geronimo and at the end it unlocked two achievements:

- Workin' Hard (Complete all trials)

But still not the INNOVATOR (aquire all blueprints). So this is the proof that the Innovator is still bugged glitched FU****! You can't get 100% witout getting all blueprints but my game I still have 54/55 since the last one is still shown on the map but can't be picked since it's not there when you get there (mentioned this plenty times now)!

I also got "100%" in SP and didn't get the achievement because it listed it as 99% (Due to a the Weapon Slot Training Manual being greyed out). Purchasing any Skill in MP will unlock the achievement for you, if you've got all Skills in MP then I think it's completely unobtainable for you. =/

I honestly have no clue how that makes any sense, since MP and SP are two different things, but that's my workaround. Credit goes to all the people that commented the solution above. However Capcom really need to fix this crap.

I would wait a week or 2 before buying a game (thats what i do for most games to see if anything busted), I played a lot of Capcom games and never had a problem. Im one of the lucky ones that used the work around and got it to work.

This description is misleading – basically it means you have to 100% the single player part of the game. Meaning, you need to complete all single player trials (which includes killing 250,000 zombies), and unlock all skills. The latter requires finding all the single player training manuals, and getting to level 100.

Single player training manuals can be found at:

Mall

Evasion – In Homerunners, on the 2nd floor of the hallway between Caribbean Cove & Kiichiro Plaza

Skill Move Efficiency – In the safe house, available to buy once it reaches level 3.

Old Town

Final Blow – In Tetro’s Comics & Collectibles

Precision Targeting – In the safe house, available to buy once it reaches level 3.

West Ridge

Food +2 – In the safe house, available to buy once it reaches level 4.

Inventory Slots+ - In the safe house, on the 2nd floor

North Peak

Elemental Critical Hits – In Freebirds Gun Shack & Shooting Range

Inspiring Presence – In the safe house, available to buy once it reaches level 4

For more info on the trials, see: "Story Completionist."

After the new patch I received the achievement, but only when I restarted the chapter “Case No. 0” (maybe you just need to restart any chapter) PS in single player the game was completed 100%.
