How to unlock the Innovator achievement

    This is less of a guide and more of a heads up to anyone looking to complete this achievement and / or going for the 100% Journalism ranking.

    Despite various patches, this achievement has a very notorious bug which can ruin your entire save. Many of the blueprints that appear in the mall also spawn during a multiplayer session. DO NOT PICK UP ANY BLUEPRINTS DURING A MULTIPLAYER SESSION.

    Any blueprints you pick up during multiplayer run the risk of not counting towards your single player tally. They will appear in your blueprint inventory but will not count on your statistics page. This will prevent the achievement from unlocking, lock you out of the 100%, and force you to delete your save and start from scratch.

    Ideally, it would be best to avoid playing the multiplayer until you've completed the single player due to various wonky glitches that can turn up.

    Centurion 47thI am trying to ask support from them by Capcom, but your story seems more real, but I would like ask you one detail: this achievement doesn't need multiplayer blueprints, it is exact?

    Avoids@flik Nightshade thank you for the heads up. I guess I will go through and finish everything else. After then I might re-start all over. Not sure how excited I am for that...haha

    HELLRAZORANGELI did multiplayer first and picked up a lot of blueprints. One of which was Acid Maul in Medieval Town Museum on mp. All blueprints I picked up in mp transferred over to my single-player game except Acid Maul bp. Turns out it is in a different location now so you don't miss out on Innovator. Acid Maul has moved to a locker in the Baron Von Brathaus freezer (the bp is in a locker and the key for the locker is at the castle table). You now have to at least start the distress call mission that is in that location for the freezer door to unlock. After the fight at the junkyard in Case 2 you will trigger the distress call. If you go there and there isn't a survivor inside the freezer asking you for help then you need to start a new game. I would go there immediately after the junkyard fight in Case 2 ends and as soon as you trigger the distress call so you don't miss it.

    There are a total of 47 blue prints located during the single player portion of the game. Of these, 2 of them create 3 variations.

    These are generally found as the little blue markers on the map (which can be made visible in each of the safe house after unlocking them from the vendor).

    You also get a blue print after each case up until case 5. However half way through case 5 you will hit a point of no return. So if you have all blue prints except for one melee blueprint at that point, don't worry, you get the tripod zapper blue print for completing case 5.

    All blue prints for this achievement are obtainable in your first playthru. Actually, if you have them all you will unlock this achievement before case 5 achievement.

    POSSIBLE GLITCH

    As warned by others, although i did not run into this problem, it is best to unlock this acheivement before playing MP or at the very least, before picking up any of the MP blue prints as this has been known to cause a problem and screw this acheivement.

    Not a solution but a workaround for a glitch that has showed up with the distress call update.

    For anyone attempting to complete this but is having an issue where the acid maul blueprint is locked behind a door in Baron von Brathaus and distress calls are not triggering there is hope. Finish the game, and then start a new game after all the missions are completed. After the junkyard fight in case 2 it should unlock. It took me a few times playing through the game again for it to finally trigger so keep trying.
