If you follow the image you should find the evidence bags with little to no trouble. The evidence bags become available during and after the first mission of the Year of The Snake expansion. You can get 19/20 of the evidence bags before you even finish the first mission.

The only one you can't collect immediately would be the Aberdeen evidence bag in the Fish Market, which is available during and after the mission "Cease Operations".

NOTE: If you have already completed the story, then the evidence bags will show up on your map if you press cn_X.

When you see the evidence bags on the map (They look like Fortune Cookies / Pacman) the greyed out ones are the evidence bags you have not collected and the ones that are lit up in white are the ones you have collected.

Please Note: The evidence bags do not show up on the main map after completing the story, they only show on the mini-map. Thanks, JernauGurgeh SF for the info!

EDIT: If the collectibles have not shown up on your map after completing the story then you will want to go to the XB1 home and press cn_start while the cursor is over Sleeping Dogs and then press "Quit" in the menu that shows up. Once you have done this, enter the game again. The collectibles should appear on the in-game map. Credit for the solution to this issue goes to Wookiee Hairem.

If you give me negative feedback please state why so I can improve on my future solutions.

@penitent7angent I had the same issue, after I have completely quit the game and started it back up again they appeared, I had the same thing happen in Nightmare in North Point content.

I don't know if this has only happened to me, but after completing the story, none of the evidence bags, even the ones I have collected show up on the collectibles view on the map, let alone the greyed out ones I have not collected.
Is this some kind of bug and does anyone know how or if it can be fixed?

@penitent7angent Start a new YotS playthrough? I really have no idea how this could have happened, I played though the expansion once and everything was perfectly fine for me.

Thanks for the map/video showing the evidence bags. My game would not show the locations on the map even after quitting the game several times.

From what I understand, them showing up in the first place on the map is a bug. There is no reward prompt for them showing up on the map after completing anything.

Just to add to others the freakin evidence bags never show up on my map until I get close to them even after restarting several times. Bugged. Appreciate the pictures, very helpful.

Just confirming that these will not show up on your main map. The evidence bags will however show up on your minimap once the main game is completed. The range is pretty generous, so with the above map you shouldn't have any problems.

I down voted because your information about the "icons" showing up post-game was inaccurate, I had to download the map and use "PAINT" just so I can see which ones I got because the map didn't even show the ones I picked up.......

Complete the story line and the bags show up on your mini map once you are close to them. Follow the map that is provided. If it doesn't show up on the mini map then you've already collected that bag and once you pick it up it will disappear from the mini map. I DID NOT quit out or exit to the main menu.

At least on my phone the image was cut off, the 5th bag in Kennedy Town is in the cemetery.

Thanks for not down voting!smile Might I suggest restarting the DLC and looking at some bag locations? I mentioned that you can collect nearly all of them right as you start. Maybe you have already tried this, but just a suggestion. Good luck, and don't give up on this game.

I've withdrawn my previous comment. Here's why:

I own the Definitive Edition of this game, so the main game and DLC are all in one game rather than separate. The thing is I wasn't aware this cheevo was part of the Year of the Snake DLC since it shows just one big list. My mistake.

Please amend the solution as the evidence bags do not show up on the main map after completing the story, they only show on the mini-map

Edit:
Now upvoted as BreakingBear101 has added the note and otherwise this is a great solution. The maps are very helpful

I'm also here to confirm that none of the evidence bags collectibles showed up on my map either. I even fully quitted the game and then logged back into the application, started up the game, and still didn't see any of the bags on the map. They only appeared when I was closer to them on the mini-map. So I just used your picture guide and went form place to place until I got them all.

In the digital versions this map is either glitched or they changed how it works. I have noticed that if you have NOT found an evidence bag it will be a light gray fortune cookie on the map when you are near it. Thus you just have to follow the maps outlined in the solutions above to find them all. Makes it a little bit harder but at least you dont have to do much hunting.

Can confirm with digital download, completed or not, never saw the items on the map even quitting out etc. Pretty easy to find using the image in this solution tho.

This is for finding all 20 evidence bags scattered across the map during the Year of the Snake DLC.

19/20 bags are available from the beginning but there is one in Aberdeen not available until the Cease Operations mission.

The evidence bags "should" appear on your map after completing the main game but has been known to not appear for some people.

The missions will take you near the majority of the bags but it is definitely easier to go around after completing the campaign. The video below shows a decent path to getting them after the campaign.

*Here is just an advice:

I have found every collectible after i beat the main storyline and the secoundary content, and the achievement did not pop up.
So i had to restart the DLC and collect everything back after the Cease Operations mission.-Very frustrating.

**So make sure before you get your last evidence bag, (at 19/20), DO A MANUAL SAVE, then pick up the last collectible and in case you dont get the achievement, reload and collect it again. I have not done a manual save and i only played on autosave so i had to restart the game. Good luck!

I found a map on xboxachievements.com, all credits go to the guide's creators: The BiggD and Ty-Rex.

The map is not so precise, but all bags are around 15 meters near each sign, for more precision please read Lucky Conquerer's solution.

This can be done during the main storyline, but it is suggested that you work on this achievement after beating the last mission, New Year's Eve. Once the story is complete, the Evidence Bags will appear on your map by pressing the  button when the map is open. There are a total of 20 Evidence Bags around the city and they appear as grey circles on the map. Once you find a bag, their icon on the map becomes white.

Two bags were picked up during the quests, after completing the dlc I went to clear the map, they were not there, and the counter stopped at 18. Neither entering the main game nor restarting helped. I had to speedrun the main quests to open access to the barge again. Minus 2 hours.

In the PS3 version of the game, evidence was marked on the map after completing the main plot of the add-on, but for some reason this is missing in the PS4 version of the game.

There are 20 clues in total - I suggest using the following video to find them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buVqGdlViH0

attention. if you decide to collect evidence before the last mission, it won’t work, because... the evidence in the warehouse will only be available after completing this mission
