L.A. Noire Guide › Basics

The Case Report

At the end of a case, you receive a Case Report that provides an overall grade (one to five stars) of your accomplishment. This score is determined by the number of clues you find, questions you get correct, and your conduct during the case.

Clues Found & Questions Correct

Finding all the clues and answering all the interrogation questions correctly is the best way to achieve a good score at the end of a case. However, performing badly in the Conduct category could hurt all the flawless sleuthing you’ve done.

Conduct

Damaging your vehicle, wrecking city and civilian property, and running over pedestrians or police officers negatively reflect on your final case score. There are three categories of conduct tallied on the final score screen, they are: Vehicle Damage, Injuries, and City Damage. The higher the dollar amount in these categories, the more likely your final score will be negatively affected.
