The game is full to the brim with content, and players who want to make the most of what this title has to offer should try and accumulate as many Completion Points (CP) as possible to unlock some truly helpful content, items, and anything else along the same lines. However, attaining CP is not as simple as one might think, which is why the following tips should be kept in mind to ensure that players can enjoy a steady flow of CP throughout their playthrough.
Updated on July 02, 2025 by Ritwik Mitra:The system of Completion Points was easily one of the most brilliant inclusions in the Yakuza series. After all, the games already had a wealth of content from the get-go, and CP compelled players to check out almost everything the game had to offer.
In Yakuza 0, CP unlocks a bunch of helpful things, and here are the best ways to garner as much CP as possible in the course of playing the game.
15Frequent The Coliseum
The Coliseum isa mainstay of theYakuzaseriesthat has appeared in almost every game. Using the abilities of the playable characters to wreak havoc against the opposition makes for an engaging time indeed.
It helps that winning battles in the Coliseum nets some unique CP as well. This, coupled with the CP players get from fighting regularly, makes the Coliseum a lucrative place to farm some CP and other things as well.
14Run, Sprint, And Use The Taxi As Much As Possible
The fact that exploration itself is rewarded in the game should be enough to prove just how muchYakuza 0wants players to roam around and experience the game’s content. Players should use every tool at their disposal to expedite this movement.
Running around, sprinting, and taking the cab gives players CP as well. This encourages people to mix it up while exploring so that even the simple act of moving around the map can help them gain some valuable CP.
13Talk To Everyone
Theareas of Sotenbori and Kamorucho inYakuza 0are full to the brim with characters who contribute to the livability of this game world. Players should definitely interact with most NPCs at regular points to hear their thoughts on the game’s events too.
To incentivize this, even the simple act of talking to NPCs is linked to gaining CP! It might sound like a rather menial thing to reward, but props should be given to the CP system for making pretty much everything in the game have some kind of meaning, as small as it may be.
12Train To Improve All Combat Styles
DuringMajima and Kiryu’s adventure, they’ll encounter various combat specialists who can help them improve each of their combat styles. This is obviously a recommended course of action to take since these combat styles will help players deal with some rather challenging enemies later on in the game.

It also helps that mastering the teachings of each master nets CP too. This way, players will technically be killing two birds with one stone, which is pretty satisfying indeed!
11Interact With Anything That Seems Interesting In The Game World
There are several things that players can find on the streets of Kamurocho and Sotenbori. From finding telephone cards to saving strangers from goons — the sheer number of activities in the game makes the world feel pretty reactive and engaging.
Pretty much all of these actions net CP in some form or the other. So, if players see anything remotely interesting in these cities, then checking them out is a pretty obvious course of action to take.
10Use All The Combat Styles Of The Two Protagonists In Battle
Yakuza 0marks a massive change for the series' combat, with the two protagonists of this title being able to access three combat styles each — along with a secret style that’s unlocked later on — that allows for a ton of diversity in battle.
In fact, the game encourages diverse combat strategies as well, and awards Completion Points for each of the three styles and the frequency of their use in battle. So, it only goes without saying that players should use all their styles in combat to attain as much CP as possible.
9Diversify Heat Actions As Much As Possible
Speaking of diversity, one can’t help but mention the whole host of amazing heat actions that can be performed in the game as well.
While spamming the same Heat Action over and over again might be easy, it’s a horrible strategy in combat that doesn’t allow players to get some valuable CP for using a whole host of Heat Actions in battle.
So, it goes without saying that players should try and use as many Heat Actions as possible in order to attain this CP… while simultaneously making combat all the more enjoyable as well!
8Fight As Many Enemies As You Can
This one is a no-brainer — the game awards players for beating up enemies, using different Heat Actions on them, and saving assault victims on the street as well.

Thus, it goes without saying that the player should try and fight as many enemies as possible in order to attain CP as quickly as possible.
7Pay Close Attention To The Real Estate And Cabaret Sidequests
Both Kiryu and Majima have their own major side quests in the form of Real Estate Royale and Cabaret Club Czar. Not only does progressing through these sidequests allow players to attain a ton of money and unlock interesting content… but it also unlocks a ton of CP as well.
Players should try and complete these major sidequests with due diligence in order to maximize the overall CP they can attain from these activities.
6Complete As Many Substories As Possible
One of the staples of theYakuzaseries that still serves as one of its biggest draws to this day,Yakuza 0is no slouch when it comes to integrating a whole host of unique and entertaining substories, most of which will make fans laugh their hearts out atthe sheer bizarre and hilarious nature of some of the predicaments Kiryu and Majima find themselves in.
However, finding this amazing content isn’t the only reason why players should seek out these substories — completing them helps players net valuable CP, while also unlocking potential friends along the way as well.
