Although this is fantastic for its replayability value, it does mean that unlocking all of the Dispatch achievements will take a few playthroughs. Alternatively, if you want to speedrun your way through, selectively copying and pasting your original saves will also suffice.

How to Unlock All Achievements (Trophies) in Dispatch
