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

The easiest way to do this achievement would be to buy all of the collectible maps for each part of town (Mall, Old Town, West Ridge, and North Peak) As the achievement hinges on getting all cell phones and newspapers, (maybe podcasts and vick's cloud uploads).

Even if you don't need the podcasts and cloud uploads for the achievement, it would be a good idea to grab all collectibles as you go. For me, I did a round of each collectible once I was ready to finish case 5. A few of the collectibles are only obtainable in certain cases. There is a cloud upload that is in the dam and only obtainable in Case 2, and 2 cellphones in the army base which are only accessible in Case 4. The zombie tags are not needed for this achievement.

For the collectibles in the sewers during case 5, once you blast open the door that leads deeper down, there will be a room off to the right in the first open area that will have the "Technician Key" this key will open op the doors that the rest of the collectibles are locked behind.

It most likely means that you would have to start the game over entirely (which is what I had to do when I had one collectible that didn't register when I picked it up). It's unfortunate to be sure, but there are currently no fixes to circumvent the loss of collectibles. It's probably no consolation, but the second time around goes much faster.

I have one cell phone left. I am in the process of making sure all maps are purchased. I fear it is glitched. If I change the difficulty would that fix the glitch?

My first guess would to say no, but it would do no harm to try of course. I wouldn't get my hopes up, based on my experience.

The symbols for the blueprints are on the map? Blueprints aren't required for this achievement so you should be okay strictly speaking

So nobody has commented since may 2017? Mine is currently stuck at 97% and I have all the collectibles... I can find no help, and I don't feel content not seeing anyone else complain about it.

I ended up getting the achievement by completing Case 4 again to the point where it gave me Vick's Cloud Upload #12 again through story progression. Therefore, I would just replay a case and see if it re-reads that you have all collectibles if it doesn't work.

As with the other collectible achievements/trials, you can buy maps in safehouses leading you to each collectible. When looking at your map, don't forget there are 3 floors to it (basement, 1F, and 2F).
