How to Collect All 3 Evidence/Incriminating Documents (Guide)

For those facing the same challenge, here's how I approached it:

1) Map Selection: I chose the "burn sex toys" map due to its more open and convenient design for searching. It's a relatively short (15 minutes) and semi-open location, making exploration easier.

Before this, I primarily tackled "punish the villains" as it initially seemed less demanding without buffs to movement speed or mechanism activation. However, both maps involve dark mazes, whereas "burn sex toys" offers a more open environment.

2) X-Ray Advantage: X-Ray is immensely helpful. At level 4, it allows you to see documents through walls, and at maximum level, it's incredibly effective. I systematically entered rooms I hadn't explored before (memorizing their names) and scanned the surroundings. This method helped me pinpoint potential document locations. However, challenges arose due to flat objects cluttering the screen and resembling documents.

3) Healing vs. X-Ray: Having previously played with a healing focus, utilizing X-Ray was a new experience. I switched from "hide and heal" to "regeneration" in my skills, especially beneficial for locating the final document. I opted for a more aggressive approach without relying heavily on healing items to maximize storage space for collected items.

4) Organized Searching: To streamline the process, I created piles of 4+ items. This helped me quickly eliminate areas where documents were unlikely to be found, focusing my X-Ray scans more efficiently.

5) Prioritizing Stealth: I aimed to minimize damage taken. The "heal=live" strategy, effective with a healing-focused build, was less suitable in this scenario. It's generally advisable to conserve resources and prioritize stealthily scanning rooms and shelters for documents.

Outcome: I successfully collected all three documents and achieved an A+ grade. I'm not certain if documents collected by other players contribute, but I completed the task in solo mode.
