Max Stats Trophy in LA Cops

In order to upgrade your cop and purchase additional weapons you must earn XP by completing levels. At the end of each level you will receive a performance grade, i.e. A (4 XP points), B (3 XP points), C (2 XP points) or D (1 XP point). Each grade earns you a certain amount of XP points. Your overall grade is determined by a combination of factors, including - Kills, Accuracy, Arrests, Damage, Level Restarts, Cop Deaths and Civilians Killed.

Each cop has the same 4 attributes that can be upgraded, these include - Speed, Health, Damage and Clip Size. Each attribute must be upgraded to the maximum level, which is 20 XP points. Each of the 6 cops starts off with around 6-7 XP points distributed between the 4 attributes. As such, you will need to earn around 90 XP points to fully upgrade a cop and purchase all weapons (Shotgun = 2 XP, Uzi = 3 XP, Assault Rifle = 4 XP, and Grenade Launcher = 5 XP). To access the upgrade menu press on the player and then navigate upwards and press again on the symbol above (see image below).

It is worth noting that XP is only earnt for the cop in which you selected first when choosing your two players. As such, make sure you consistently choose the same cop when playing the game, as XP earnt is not interchangeable across the 6 different playable characters.

The easiest way to farm XP is by replaying Mission 1: Venice Beach Donut Store whilst playing on Normal difficulty over and over, arresting all enemies. The level can be completed in approximately 0:20 seconds and each run will net you 4 XP points if you have arrested all enemies without dying.
