Officer Reporting! (2) Trivia Quiz

Answer: Neil Stockman

As an alcoholic, Stockman should never, ever be tasked by the player to drive anywhere, for any reason. Any time Stockman is asked to drive, there will be a minor chance he gets in a car accident. An accident can result in the death of himself, any officers with them or nearby civilians.

This, of course, also means Stockman should never be sent to respond to a call alone, as this would mandate he drives to the location.

Answer: Zechariah Sullivan

Unlike the others, Sullivan will never actually refuse an order even if it is to an area he hates. However, sending him to an area he hates will reduce his loyalty score, and silently at that. The player should be very mindful on what calls Sullivan responds to.

Answer: Willard Hodges

Hodges is also loyal to the player right off the bat, with a very deep loyalty bar and no particular triggers which would reduce his loyalty. As such, Hodges will basically never be disloyal to the player unless they intentionally drive him to do so for some weird reason. Combined with his amazing starting Professionalism, and Hodges is arguably the single best officer in the entire game.

Answer: Nahuel leiba

This is the only officer in the game who can straight up just lose equipment. As such, clearly, the player should not equip him with anything they don't need him to immediately use. Unfortunately, this makes him significantly less useful for Tactical Missions. Fortunately, he starts with a very high 620 Professionalism, so he does not necessarily need any gear to do a good job.

Answer: Artavaz Muradian

Muradian will, like clockwork, avoid work on every single Monday due to being hungover. He is as reliable as they come the other six days, and it is essentially impossible for him to become disloyal to the player. The player will just need to account for his consistent absence on Mondays.

Answer: Charlie Fletcher

Fletcher is the one and only cop who straight up does not even have a loyalty bar, so it is completely impossible for him to become disloyal even if the player were to intentionally try to get this to happen.

Answer: Casey Rockman

Rockman can be absolutely crucial on Tactical Missions with time sensitive elements, as his high Speed can let him meet these timeframes easily. He is so good at this that he should be viewed as compulsory for help with the Necktie Assault Mission specifically, inarguably the hardest, most time sensitive, mission in the game.

Answer: Jeffrey Medinata

Medinata is an excellent pick for almost all Tactical Missions, as the vast majority of them encourage or even require stealth outright. He is also great responding to calls, as most officers do not have high Stealth scores, so Medinata can be unique and valuable for that alone.

However, Medinata has fairly bad Intelligence growth and abysmal Strength growth. So, pairing an officer like Climsy, Flowerpotts or someone with high Professionalism with him on calls would be wise.

Answer: Vanessa Flowerpotts

In addition to being loyal and reliable, Flowerpotts is the player's strongest cop on the first day of the game. Moreover, her growth in all stats is quite great, so she can be molded to fit the needs of the player very capably.

Flowerpotts is a great officer to get the most value out of Officer Spurlock early, as Flowerpotts can do any task Spurlock refuses to do quite reliably.

Answer: Sylvester Goodwin

Officer Goodwin's loyalty is difficult to manage because his loyalty bar is quite small. Additionally, he is a frequent and chronic drunk. If the player attempts to intervene on his drinking in any minor way, such as sending him to get treatment or questioning him on his drinking, he will instantly become disloyal.

Goodwin comes to the player with a poor Professionalism, and his growths are not spectacular in any regard. As such, this is not an officer the player should move heaven and earth to develop.

Answer: Wes Titus

Titus' Stealth growth is so ridiculously bad, it was absolutely deliberately made to be so. This ties in well with his profile as an officer, as Titus is very likely to get injured or killed if the player sends him to deal with violent crime. He is not deficient in any other way though, so if the player makes sure to only send him to respond to non-violent crime, they will likely never notice his shortcoming.

Tactical Missions, of course, are always dealing with violent criminals. And indeed, Titus has the lowest chance to dodge an enemy bullet out of any officer in the entire game. So unless desperate, the player should not send Titus on any Tactical Missions. If they find themselves forced to doing so, he should occupy the backline for the entire mission.

Answer: Roman Salnikov

Salnikov is noted as having very poor eyesight, explaining his extremely poor growth in Shooting. Interestingly, when disloyal to the player, Salnikov's portrait shows him covering his eyes entirely with his blue hair. Perhaps this explains why he can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn, as it is possible for him to accidentally shoot civilians or other officers if the player asks him to shoot anything, for any reason. Even if not friendly firing, his success rate with any task involving him shooting is quite low. He may not hit a friendly, but he isn't likely to hit the enemy either.

Clearly, Salnikov should never be given a gun and, generally, shouldn't be sent to respond to violent crime.

Answer: Betty Jackson

The way Jackson is portrayed, she is extremely abrasive, even towards fellow officers. As well, her Negotiation growth is extremely bad. Even if the player maxes it out though, Jackson cannot ever succeed at a task if said task requires her Negotiation score. As such, she should never, ever be sent to respond to a Suicide Threat in particular, but she should also typically have help from a fellow officer, as Negotiation is a pretty common stat for a task to require.

For whatever reason, Jackson's capacity to dodge enemy bullets is below average as well despite not having a particularly bad Speed growth. Even maxing out her Speed, she still gets hit more often than others do.

Answer: Art Climsy

Climsy is one of the officers the player begins the entire game with, and he actually comes with an already fully maxed Strength score. Sadly, that does make his growth completely irrelevant since the stat is already maxed, but beginning with it maxed in general is still a really nice boon to start the game with.

Climsy's growth in other stats is above average across the board. Mixed with his high Strength and loyalty bar, and Climsy will commonly be an effective officer throughout the entirety of one's playthrough.

Answer: Harold Rondon

Rondon is a perfectionist. The player really needs to make sure he's capable for the call he is being sent on. If he fails a call for any reason, not only does he go home for the day, but his loyalty bar will decrease. He has a short loyalty bar too, so he won't tolerate much failure at all.
