How to find the Alan Wake 2 police car echo location

Though the echo is technically at the police car, it isn’t at ground level, but rather points to the billboard of Alex Casey above the car. If you stand near the police car and look up, you’ll see a white echo orb. Hard to miss given the map doesn’t differentiate between ground level and above the police car.

To reach the black orb needed to align the echo, you’ll need to backtrack through the rooftops near the High-Line Station. From the police car go through the door at the end of the alley, down the stairs, and out the other door. You’ll be back on the rooftops.

In front of you is a scaffold walkway patrolled by three Taken. Instead of walking straight, look to your right and you’ll see a ladder leading up. Go up, look right, and you’ll see the black echo orb. Stand behind it and look at the billboard to align it with the white echo orb as you would any other echo in Alan Wake 2. The echo is called Hard Case. Here’s a map shot of the where you’ll find the ladder in case that’s useful.
