Hey guys! Ready to dive into the brick-tastic world of LEGO City Undercover? This game is a hilarious and action-packed adventure, but let's be real, navigating that massive city can be a bit of a challenge. That’s why I’ve put together this ultimate guide, complete with maps and a thorough walkthrough, to help you become the best undercover cop LEGO City has ever seen!

Getting Started: What You Need to Know

Before we jump into the map and walkthrough, let’s cover some essential basics. LEGO City Undercover is an open-world action-adventure game developed by TT Games, the masters behind the LEGO video game franchise. You play as Chase McCain, an undercover cop tasked with bringing down the notorious Rex Fury. What makes this game so special is its blend of classic LEGO humor, engaging gameplay, and a sprawling city to explore. Seriously, there's so much to do!

Chase McCain’s Abilities: One of the coolest things about Chase is his ability to change disguises, each granting him unique abilities. These disguises are crucial for solving puzzles, accessing new areas, and progressing through the story. You'll start with a few basic ones, but you'll unlock more as you play. For example, the Police Officer disguise lets you use grappling hooks and access police-only areas. The Thief disguise allows you to break into locked doors, and the Construction Worker disguise lets you build with special LEGO bricks. Remember to use the right disguise for the right job!

Navigating LEGO City: The city is divided into several districts, each with its own unique look and feel. From the bustling downtown area to the serene countryside, there's always something new to discover. To get around, you can commandeer vehicles (it's LEGO, so it's all in good fun!), use fast travel points, or simply run around and explore. Keep an eye out for collectibles, challenges, and secrets hidden throughout the city. Trust me, you'll want to find them all!

Story Mode vs. Free Play: The main story mode will guide you through the game's narrative, introducing you to new characters, locations, and abilities. Once you complete a level in story mode, you can replay it in free play. This is where the real fun begins! In free play, you can use any of Chase's disguises to access areas you couldn't reach before, unlocking hidden collectibles and completing challenges. Free play is essential for 100% completion, so don't skip it!

The Ultimate LEGO City Map

Alright, let's talk about the map. LEGO City is huge, and keeping track of everything can be overwhelming. The in-game map is helpful, but it doesn't always show you everything you need to know. That's why having a detailed map is essential.

Key Locations:

  • Police Station: Your home base. You’ll start many missions here and can access vehicles and disguises. Make sure you familiarize yourself with its layout. It's where the donuts are, after all! The police station is also the location of your vehicle call-in point and has a disguise booth so you can put on the best outfit for the job!
  • Cherry Tree Hills: A suburban area with plenty of challenges and collectibles. It's a great place to start exploring and getting to grips with the game's mechanics. Cherry Tree Hills is the perfect place to start your adventure since it is where Chase McCain's adventure begins.
  • Auburn: The more industrial part of Lego City where you will find more dangerous criminals and is one of the early locations you will be at. You'll need to get your thief skills up to par here!
  • Bluebell National Park: A scenic area with lots of secrets and challenges. Perfect for a relaxing drive (or a thrilling chase!). Bluebell National Park is where you can relax and enjoy nature or complete an action packed challenge!
  • Downtown: The heart of LEGO City. Full of shops, businesses, and plenty of opportunities for undercover work. Downtown is full of shops and is the commercial center of the city. This is where you will find many citizens going about their daily lives.

Using the Map Effectively:

  • Zoom In: Don't be afraid to zoom in and get a closer look at the map. This will help you spot smaller details and hidden areas.
  • Use Markers: Place markers on the map to remind yourself of important locations or collectibles you want to return to later.
  • Check Icons: Pay attention to the icons on the map. They indicate the locations of missions, challenges, collectibles, and other points of interest.
