    There are 16 QR Codes to find in the QR Code Investigation, the locations can be revealed on the map after you unlock every ctOS tower. You then need to go to these locations and scan the Codes. The codes may be split apart on different buildings and only line up to be scanned when viewed from certain cameras.

    Once you have scanned all of the QR Codes you will unlock the final mission and then need to complete the final mission to catch the hacker and unlock the achievement. ( You might need to have progressed into Act 3 of the campaign to unlock the final mission)

    Locations of the QR Codes and which cameras they can be scanned from are in the video below.

    VirusTk GaMBitHi, unfortunately I did not get the achievement. My progression bar shows that I have completed every code. And I got the achievement for all the investigations as well. I think it just glitched on me. Is there anything known how to solve this. I really don't want to play through the complete game again

    VirusTk GaMBitHi, I just wanted to add that you need to finish the 10th mission of act 2 to get the final mission to become available. As I said earlier, the achievement glitched for me and I had to play trough the game again. When I finished the 10th mission in act 2 I got a phone call from this hacker group that made the final mission available.
