The maximum rank is 20. You can obtain experience during your investigations on cases. Finding evidence and being a good interrogator will help you to move up in the ranks. Each landmark gives you +5 XP towards the next rank. During questioning, for every question correctly answered you will get +5 experience points. If you have The Badge Pursuit Challenge (DLC) that contains 20 police badges, you will get +5 experience for every badge obtained. Every collectible you find gives you +5 XP; you will need a total of 1140 XP to get to Rank 20. With each rank you will get +1 Intuition point (maximum five at one time). For every 5 ranks (rank 5, 10, and 15 only, not 20) you will receive locations of 5 hidden rare vehicles and other ranks will net you some Suits. You cannot earn XP while replaying cases.
- One Question Answered Correctly = +5
- Obtain a Film Reel = +5
- Discover a landmark = +5
- Complete a Street Crime = +15
- Collect a DLC Hidden Shield = +5 (DLC only)
