There are 52 skills that you need to purchase to unlock everything in the Skill tree. You do not need to unlock the online Notoriety Skills for this trophy. Many of the skills cost multiple skill points that you earn for levelling up and completing various events. The total number of skill points required to purchase everything is 137.

There are a few skills that have a prerequisite other than just needing the available number of skill points. Those are:

Combat Branch

  • Quick Switch - Requires you to catch one criminal through crime detection, see Enforcer for info on those
  • Critical Focus - Complete 1 Criminal Convoy
  • Rapid Reload - Complete 5 Gang Hideouts
  • Maximized Focus - Complete 10 Chess Puzzles (watch this video of "End Game" if you need help - credit to CVG for the video).
  • Auto Weapons Expert - Reach Wave 5 in NVZN Mini Game

Driving

  • Offensive Driver - Complete 5 Fixer Contracts. See End of Line for info on those.

In addition to those prerequisites, you will need to also get to level 50 (1 skill point per level until level 10 - 2 skills per level until level 44 - 3 per level up to level 50), complete each of the Gang Hideouts. That will put you at a total of 137 skills. Completing Online Hacking will level you up really quick. If successful, you gain 1000xp each time.
