How to unlock the Sharpshooter achievement in Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Go to the police station in North Point - it's just opposite the second parking lot to the right of the Night Market on the map. Notice the parked police vehicles there. Walk up to the cops and fight them until they drop a gun. Your wanted level will be raised by now. Simply pick up the gun, and shoot the tires of any of the parked police cars.

Yes, no need to get involved in a car chase. Just shoot the tires of a police car that isn't moving when you're wanted.

Achievement unlocks there and then.

Alternatively, if you don't want to fight the police to get a gun, simply wear any of the DLC costumes that comes with a gun, e.g., Agent 47 with Silverballers, go to the location, and shoot away. DLC costumes can be purchased from the yellow clothing shop in the Night Market.

I recommend equipping The Tactical Soldier Pack that comes with the most powerful weapon in the game--the assault rifle with grenade launcher. It's the weapon that is used in The Funeral Mission. Put on the costume, go outside and shoot away. Police will show up on foot and in cars. Fire away and make sure you shoot a tire.

You will be working on this achievement and helping your stats for vehicles destroyed and rogue cop.

Thumbs up, BTW.

Here is my video from the original 360 solution if somebody want a visual guide ;)

"Done unlocking" will eventually unlock sooner or later.

Thanks for the solution! Having having to be in the chase is useful. To build on it, you can just walk up to the boot of a police car and get a shotgun and shoot the tires of the same car.

Here is an easy, somewhat cheesy way to pull this one off... play through the game, doing the 'supercar' missions as they unlock until the turret upgrade unlocks. After finishing that mission, stay in the car, nudge a cop car with your supercar, run down a couple pedestrians to immediately raise your level to 2 stars, then activate your turrets and take out the tires of the now pursuing police vehicle. Took me 5 seconds when I tried this approach.

To get the trophy that's called "Sharpshooter", you will need to shoot out a cop's tires while fleeing in a police chase.

The video that's included with this solution will show you the perfect place to do this, which is at the North Point police station that's a little far to the right of the Night Market on the map. You'll see the map and its location showing you where to go.

When you reach that point, start a fight with the cops and make sure to take one or both out. They will drop a weapon once they are down, so pick them up.

Nearby will be a cop car. Get inside the driver's seat, roar up the engine, and then flee from the police station. As you are driving on the streets, cop cars will start to chase you.

If one of them gets to you side-by-side, it will make the trophy easier to get. Have your gun equipped, aim it directly at the tire, and fire at it a few times until it is destroyed, making the cop car stop in its tracks completely. The trophy should pop up right away if not shortly after.

Although Powerpyx played the PS3 version, this also does work on the PS4. Credit goes to Powerpyx for the video and showing you how to get the trophy.

Have fun and good luck!

You don't have to shoot from the car. You stood and fired at the wheels of an approaching police car and the trophy fell out (well, of course, at this moment the police should be chasing you).

When done outside of missions, it is necessary to have a firearm in your hands.
