True Crime: Streets of L.A. Hint: Quick And Easy Good Cop Points
If you want to earn good cop points quickly, go to a street called Rose Ave. in Venice. All of the people walking on that street are usually either carrying drugs or guns. Simply walk up to anyone on that street and frisk them and you’ll bust them. (Rose Ave. is the street by the beach and in directly on the “N” in the title Venice on the map; you can look up the map from the start menu).
True Crime: Streets of L.A. Hint: Unlimited ammo
You can exploit a game bug to effectively give Kang unlimited ammo with a gun of your choice. This trick will only work in the free-roam missions, as other missions won’t allow you to holster your gun as the trick requires.
Pick up the gun for which you’d like unlimited ammo, and then pick up a secong gun to move the first gun to Nick’s right hand. When your right-handed gun is low on ammunition, holster your guns and press R1 + R2 to fire a shot into the air (just once). Unholster your weapons and the right-handed weapon should have a full clip of ammo. Repeat the trick as necessary.
