The Precinct: Artifact Clue Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide
In The Precinct, tracking down all 20 Museum Artifacts is mandatory for any officer looking to achieve 100% completion and the A Sharp Mind trophy. These artifacts were stolen from the Averno City Museum and are hidden inside locked briefcases (safeboxes) scattered across the city.
Each briefcase has a Clue nearby—usually a sticky note or a document pinned to a wall or dumpster—that provides a riddle, a math problem, or a local history fact required to crack the 4-digit code.
While you are guided to the first artifact during the tutorial, the remaining 19 must be found through exploration (or by reaching Rank 16 to unlock the Artifact Detector).
Before starting your hunt for these collectibles, here are three important aspects you should be aware of:
- If you find exploration difficult, focus on your police duties until you reach Police Officer Rank 16. This unlocks the Artifact Detector, which emits an audible beep when you are near a hidden briefcase.
- Several artifacts (like those in Chinatown, Jonasville, and Ramona) are located on rooftops. Always scan the alleyways for yellow ladders to gain access to the roofs.
- The clues often require you to look at your surroundings. If a note mentions a date, look for a nearby building plaque (Historian collectible); if it's math, the numbers are usually found on nearby posters or addresses.
Alternatively, if you want to quickly deal with these clues and the associated safeboxes, you can use our The Precinct interactive map to find them around the city, or the checklist below, which includes every code and links leading to our map.
