How to unlock the Quid Pro Quo achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide
Attached is a video that shows this achievement unlocking within a couple of minutes of gaining playable control over Adam Jensen. The below video shows Jensen acquiring some booze from a hiding place in a room just across the corridor from where he wakes up--Room A315. He goes down two flights of stairs and follows the objective marker to the yard. Just before entering the yard, he talks to an inmate at the door who offers to trade a multi-tool for some alcohol. If Jensen gives him the alcohol, the achievement unlocks:
The Neuropozyne that Jensen picks up in the room to the right of where he wakes up can also be traded for the achievement. The inmate who will trade a multi-tool for the Neuropozyne is locked in his room and will not be available for the trade quite as early as the inmate who waits at the door to the yard. After the cut scenes in the yard, if Jensen goes to room A214, he can trade the Neuropozyne. If no previous trades have been made, that will unlock the achievement. Note that one can find booze and various items in other rooms. I chose A320 and A315 because they were close to the start of play.
The video shows a little more continuity than is necessary. It is part of a complete video walkthrough for A Criminal Past for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and, accordingly, shows the progression necessary for the walkthrough.

You need to trade something with an inmate for a multi-tool. The quickest way is to get the Old Man's Prestige from under the bed in cell A-305, then give it to the inmate standing next to the exit to the Yard. Once you have the bottle, speaking to this inmate will trigger a cutscene. The exchange will be made and the trophy will pop.
Once you are given access to freely roam around Cell Block A, head to Cell A-305 on the third floor. Beneath the bunk in this room is a crate with a bottle of Old Man's Prestige. Pick up the bottle and now head down to the ground floor of the cell block.
Make your way to the prison yard exit and speak with the inmate standing to the left of the door. He will offer to trade a Multitool in exchange for a bottle of alcohol. Give him the the bottle of Old Man's Prestige and the achievement will unlock shortly afterwards.
The second prisoner offering a deal appears after the first conversation with Flossie in one of the cells on the second floor. The terms of the deal are the same.
1 At the very beginning of the DLC, search the cells on the 3rd floor and find any alcoholic drink.
2 On the 1st floor at the exit to the street there will be the desired NPC (he is not displayed in any way, just a “prisoner”).
3 Make an exchange.
