Burner Phones | Maps of smaller activities Watch Dogs Guide

Burner Phones are a category of collectibles that you can find in the game. They come in the form of phones that contain an audio recording, scattered all around the game world. They contain the recordings of Maurice and finding them sheds some more light on the story of the game itself.

Around Chicago, there are 8 phones of which, you can find the first one right at the beginning of the game, in the first mission. Also, they are required to complete the game in 100% and you can review the ones that you have already collected in the stats view, in your smartphone. Each recording is treated as an audiolog and it is counted as one of the total of the currently collected audiologs. Just like in the case of all minor collectibles, they are marked on the map after you unlock the ctOS towers for a given area. Three phones have been hidden in Pawnee - they are marked on the map as soon as you get there, in the storyline mode, in act III. Unlike in the case of the majority of collectibles, after you find all of the phones, you do not gain access to an additional special mission. The devices are not that well-hidden in the locations provided on the map but, in the case in which you are incapable of pinpointing their location, see the below description.

#1

The first phone is at the upper floor of the partially demolished building, in the middle of the square in The Wards.

#2

The second phone is on the table in the corner of the room, in one of the abandoned warehouses.

#3

The third phone also is in the warehouse, on the upper floor. This time around, it is lying on the desk.

#4

The next phone is on the makeshift bed under the bridge, close to the bunker's entrance.

#5

The fifth phone is in Pawnee. You need to take a turn before you enter the tunnel, onto the parking lot in front of the motel. Then, climb up the ladder, onto the rooftop - the phone is behind the last letter of the sign.

#6

The sixth phone is on one of the houses, on a small estate in Pawnee. This is the last blue building. The audiolog is on the barrier - you can get onto the rooftop over the crate, behind the house.

#7

The last phone is at the waterfront in the "center" of Pawnee. Close to the bar, there is a blue shed - the phone is inside, on the metal chest.

The telephone in mission I

In the first mission, the instructions tell you to hack into Maurice's phone. This is the first burner phone and the first audiolog, at the same time.
