Infinite money

Late in the game’s campaign, the “An Eye For Eye” main operation will become available, with “A Real Dog Fight” sub-mission as its fifth main component. During the “A Real Dog Fight” sub-mission, you will go down a large freight elevator. When it reaches the proper floor, proceed to the indicated in-game mission area with the double doors, and hack the camera to see a room full of people with a man and woman standing next to each other giving a speech. The man is Pablo The Skinner. Point the camera at him and hack him to get approximately $18,000. Then, simply display your phone, select “Game Options”, choose “Reload Last Checkpoint”, and repeat the process as many times as desired. When the checkpoint loads, you can run into the back left corner of the elevator and hack Pablo The Skinner to do this even quicker. You can get over $1 million in less than an hour using this glitch. Note: This glitch was performed on an unpatched version of the game. It will probably eventually get patched. To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the patches. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches.

Easy money

To get money quickly and early in the game, keep completing Driver San Francisco missions by simply driving passengers to their desired locations.

Unique vehicles

Search the indicated location or complete the listed task to unlock the corresponding unique vehicle. Unique vehicles are displayed on the map as a blue car icon when you are near them.

    The Danger Mobile : Go to the following location to find it. It is parked between two houses on an island between San Francisco and Oakland, near Yerba Buena Island.

    The Dangerzone : Go to the following location to find it. This vehicle requires the RC Jumper. Go to the set of underground garages across the street from Nudle in Silicon Valley. Search for the two sets of garage doors, and use your RC Jumper to enter through a vent. Destroy the wooden plank hiding a red BLUME box, and hack it to open the other garage and access the vehicle.

    The Flip Wagon : Go to the following location to find it. It is located in an alleyway at the north side of the park near the Painted Ladies in San Francisco.

All Key Data locations and solutions

Search the indicated locations and complete the listed tasks to collect all hidden Key Data and get the “Researcher” trophy. It is also needed to buy certain skills and upgrades. The Key Data locations are shown in-game and easy to find. Open the research app on your phone and press Triangle on a key data skill. It will show you the rough search area on the map, not always the exact location. You can use the Quadcopter and press the Right Analog-stick to scan the world for nearby collectibles. Figuring out the solutions to these puzzles is the harder part. Many of them require the RC Jumper or Quadcopter (RC Jumper is one of the first story unlocks; Quadcopter must be bought in Hacker HQ). One Key Data requires the “Environmental RC” skill (costs two research points). All the others can be found without the use of skill upgrades. You can reach all key data early in the game, after unlocking the research app. They are saved instantly when you collect them, and none are missable. You can also view which ones you have found in the research app.

Easy “A Ride To Remember” trophy

Unique vehicles are displayed on the map when you are near them. They are found in fixed locations. There are many of them that can be found throughout the open world, and once you find one you can have it delivered to you for free at any time. Go to the following location in the Port of Oakland and press R3 to scan the area. A blue car icon will be displayed when you get close to it. Hack the large container crane to create a path. Once you are at the top, use the “Vehicle Directional Hack” skill (costs two research points) to move the car out of the container and get the “A Ride To Remember” trophy.

Easy “DedSec-A-Roni” trophy

Cable cars are found driving around the inner city of San Francisco near the Transamerica Pyramid. Go to the following location . Then, either follow the tracks on the road or wait for a cable car to arrive. They only drive around a very small area.

Easy “Doggyland” trophy

You can simply pet the same dog ten times in a row to get the “Doggyland” trophy. You will frequently find dogs throughout the open world. A fixed spawn point can be found at the following location at Pier 39 by the restaurant (north San Francisco). When you fast travel to this area, a dog will always spawn. You can also find many dogs at the beach when it is sunny outside.

Easy “Feeding Frenzy” trophy

This can be done in San Francisco. Near the “Dye Dude Kiosk” (marked on map) is a donut shop. During the day, you can find a man wearing a donut costume. He does not spawn at night, only by day during business hours. Buy the “APB: Suspect Located” and “Botnet Upgrade” skils (six research points required). Then, call the cops on the donut guy using the skill for them to come and arrest him and get the “Feeding Frenzy” trophy. Note: You may also want to take a picture of the donut guy before he gets arrested. He counts as a ScoutX Challenge for the “Got The Shutterbug” trophy.

Easy “Hold My Hair” trophy

A great location to find vomiting people is near the bar at Jack London Square at the Pier in Oakland. Vomiting people will often spawn at the pier during the day and night. They show up randomly — so depending on your luck this may take a little while. Look out for drunk people (the ones that look sick). Just keep running up and down the pier for a while until you find someone vomiting, then take their picture to get the “Hold My Hair” trophy.

Easy “In Style” trophy

Fast travel to the “Plainstock” clothing store in Oakland (eastern part of the map). This can be done from the beginning. Buy the “Gatorfeet Whine Country” shoes for $65 to get the “In Style” trophy.

Easy “Jump Around” trophy

The fastest motorcycle in the game, called the “Sayonara”, is recommended for doing this trophy. You can purchase it at elite car dealerships and have it delivered to you. Go to the following location in San Francisco and use the ramp to perform a long stunt jump. If you have any issues, buy the “Engine Override” skill that unlocks nitro. With the extra nitro speed, it will be much easier, but it is not required.

Easy “Let Me Ride” trophy

You must first buy the “Vehicle Directional Hack” skill (costs two research points). This skill allows you to remote control vehicles. Just climb on the roof of a car and press L1 + Triangle, then travel 200 meters to get the “Let Me Ride” trophy.

Easy “Miniroadtrip!” trophy

The Merengue can be bought from Total Motors car dealerships. It is a standard class vehicle and costs $43,125. After purchasing it, you can get it from the car dealer’s garage or you use the “Car On Demand” app to have it delivered to you. Then, drive 4 km (2.5 miles) with this car to get the “Miniroadtrip!” trophy. Just drive it along a highway to quickly get it. You will get the trophy after stopping the vehicle, not while driving it.

Easy “Only God Can Judge Me” trophy

Fast travel to the “Nudle Vending Machine” in the south of Silicon Valley. It is marked on the map from the beginning. Buy a t-shirt for $5 from the vending machine to get the “Only God Can Judge Me” trophy.

Easy “Photobombed!” trophy

Simply walk around with your camera until someone makes a funny pose. The NPCs will do this very frequently when you aim the camera at them. This works well on sidewalks.

Easy “Smooth Felon” trophy

Go to the location shown in the video and start shooting at people until someone calls the cops. Kill the police to quickly raise your wanted level. At Level 5, drive through the underground parking garages. Close the doors behind you by pressing L1 + X. Inside the last garage, lock the door by pressing L1 + Triangle. When the door is powered down, nobody can enter. This effect runs out after a few seconds — so you must quickly power it up and down again if cops are outside. If they did not see you driving into the garage (your radar turned yellow), this should be easy. After your radar turns yellow, you must stay out of sight for one minute. If this route does not work on the first try, just drive through all the parking garages again at a higher speed. Try to be out of sight by the time you reach the last garage.
