What Collectibles Are Used For

Collectibles serve multiple purposes in Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition, from immediate monetary rewards to permanent character enhancements. Each type contributes to different aspects of Wei Shen’s progression and the overall game experience.

• Generate income for purchasing clothes, vehicles, and upgrades

Collectibles Types

The map organizes collectibles into nine distinct categories, each serving specific gameplay functions and offering unique rewards throughout Hong Kong’s four main districts.

Cash

Money bags scattered across rooftops, construction sites, and hidden corners provide immediate funding for purchases. These cash pickups range from small amounts to substantial sums, making them essential for early-game equipment upgrades.

Jade Statue

Ancient jade statues hidden throughout the city unlock new martial arts moves when returned to your sifu. Each statue teaches a specific combat technique, expanding Wei Shen’s fighting repertoire with powerful new attacks and counters.

Lock Box

Secure containers tucked away in hard-to-reach locations contain valuable items and cash. These boxes often require climbing or parkour skills to access, rewarding players who explore vertical spaces thoroughly.

Shrine

Health shrines offer permanent health increases when prayed at, making them crucial for surviving tougher encounters. Each district contains multiple shrines, and collecting all of them significantly boosts Wei Shen’s survivability.

Spy Camera

Surveillance devices placed by undercover officers contain intelligence photos that reveal story background. Destroying these cameras eliminates evidence while providing insight into the ongoing investigation.

Safehouse Upgrades

Apartment enhancement items improve Wei Shen’s living spaces with functional benefits. These upgrades provide passive bonuses and customization options that persist throughout the game.

Fire Opal Statue

Rare statues that unlock advanced fighting techniques when collected. These high-value collectibles are often hidden in challenging locations and provide some of the game’s most powerful combat abilities.

Hell Shrine

Supernatural shrines that offer unique spiritual benefits and story context. These mysterious locations tie into Hong Kong’s folklore and provide both gameplay advantages and cultural depth.

Evidence Bag

Police evidence scattered throughout crime scenes contains case files and investigation materials. Collecting these bags provides narrative context and helps piece together the larger conspiracy Wei Shen is investigating.
