How to unlock the The tools of the profession achievement in Vampyr - Definitive Guide

All credit for this guide goes to SnowNinjaRaccoon (DK) & PowerPyx from PowerPyx.com who provide a complete guide to finding all collectibles and all weapons in Vampyr. This guide covers all 12 one-handed and 8 two-handed in chapter order, although the guide they created also covers all collectibles and ranged weapons as well.

Prologue:
[One Hand Weapon #1] Used Machete
You will run past it at the very beginning of the game. You will have to pick it up in order to protect yourself.

Chapter 1:
[Two Hand Weapon #1] Used Scythe
After passing the hideout on the higher floor you will cross a bridge and enter a tunnel. Jonathan will mention fresh blood. A bit further down the tunnel, you will find the scythe.

[One Hand Weapon #2] Used Bludgeon
Granted for Defeating William Bishop.

[One Hand Weapon #3] Used Hacksaw
Hospital, 2nd floor.

Chapter 2:
[Two Hand Weapon #2] Common Barbed Cudgel
Found at the start of the Sewer Section (you go there during the story).

[One Hand Weapon #4] Used Hatchet
Whitechapel District, Northwest, Second Floor of the Warehouse with a Sewer Monster in it.

Chapter 3:
[Two Hand Weapon #3] Common Mace
Hideout in Sewers (area where you meet Bridget).

Chapter 4:
[One Hand Weapon #5] Remarkable Saber
Granted for defeating Doris Fletcher.

Chapter 5:
[Two Hand Weapon #4] Common Axe
Found at the end of the sewers section with the Leon Augustin Boss Fight. After the part where you use the 3 valves to raise/lower the water. After lowering the water and making it to the other side there’s a bridge you can teleport up to (there’s a lady held hostage in the tunnels here called “Louise Teasdale”). It’s just before the sewer exit.

Chapter 6: Important: Make a manual Save Game Backup at the start of Chapter 6! See spoiler:

[One Hand Weapon #6] True Dragonbane: This weapon has it's own guide and achievement associated with it and is likely the most difficult item to unlock in the entire game:

[One Hand Weapon #7] Clay’s Hatchet
Kill Clay at the hospital.

[One Hand Weapon #8] Rakesh’s Surgical Saw
Embrace Rakesh in Hospital and loot his chest.

[One Hand Weapon #9] Newton’s Saber
Embrace Newton in Hospital.

[One Hand Weapon #10] Seymour’s Bludgeon
Embrace Seymour in the Docks.

[One Hand Weapon #11] Louise’s Machete
Embrace Louise in West End.

[One Hand Weapon #12] Archer’s Hatchet
Get it from Archer in the Docks.

[Two Hand Weapon #5] Joe’s Barbed Cudgel
Embrace Joe Peterson in Whitechapel and open a chest in Harry Peterson’s House (2nd Floor).

[Two Hand Weapon #6] Booth’s Axe
Embrace Booth in the Docks.

[Two Hand Weapon #7] Rodney’s Scythe
Embrace Rodney in the Sewers (Docks Event on a map).

[Two Hand Weapon #8] Samuel Connor’s Mace
Kill Tippets in Hospital, Loot Tippets, Loot his Desk/Drawer/Locker (don’t remember which one it was) in Doctor’s Room in Hospital. With the small key head to the basement of the morgue where a corpse lies on the table. Loot the chest there for the weapon.

Can you sell any weapons after finding them (since they track)? Or do you need to keep them all until the achievement?

Does this have to be done in one playthrough or does it count across all playthroughs?

The weapon didn't drop for me automatically at all:

-Doris Fletcher's remarkable saber.

I too had residents of the Docks die after killing Sean. So no Booker's Axe. Anyone found a workaround for finding weapons from those citizens who just automatically die upon killing a pillar and resting?

I don't think the "Xbox One Backup" trick even works. I quit at the start of Chapter 6 and went offline to proceed with going after these collectible achievements; none will register or pop up despite me having all of the melee/off-hand/ranged weapons. I believe it's because I'm offline.

I didn't want to jeopardize my "Not even once" run, so I deleted my local save and reconnected to Xbox Live. The cloud save appeared and all is well, but I don't think you can actually unlock any achievement offline these days unless I'm doing something wrong. Can someone please clarify?

I tried the 'offline save' run and once I connected the achievements didn't pop so I thought it hadn't worked.

The achievements showed up two days later as unlocked. So don't be discouraged if they don't pop straight away.

For Archer's Hatchet, all the guides say to "Get it from" this originally had me thinking I got it after rescuing him.. But to be clear: Embrace Archer for the Hatchet :P

Did the offline backup trick and popped in like 15 minutes.

Just did the offline trick as well. After connecting nothing has popped yet. Guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. Really don't wan't to go through the whole game again since I didn't like it at all.

Edit: All 5 achievements I did unlocked about 12 hours later. So this definitely worked for me.

If you're reading this after things went tits up on your first playthrough (most likely someone from the Docks died) here's a top tip: Turn Sean on your second run!(If you spare him his gang will start randomly killing people, and if you embrace him the health rating will plummet.)

You can.

Yes.

A known, if rare, bug. Should this happen immediately delete your LOCAL save and recover the cloud backup. You'll lose a bit of progress but salvage the playthrough.

P.S. If I ever bump into another game that does collectibles this way, that'll be too soon. Way too soon.

You don't have to collect all the weapons in one playthrough.

You need to find 12 right-handed weapons and 8 two-handed ones. But with the weapon from the locker in my office, it turns out to be 13 for the right one. Then two-handed can be 7. A total of 20 units

Regarding Rodney's Scythe, if the steel lair is destroyed and he is not in the place where he was (at the dead end of the sewer), then he can be found right next to the merchant in the Western Docks.
