Introduction and map | QR Codes Watch Dogs Guide

The red markings on the map above point you to the locations where you can find a QR code, whereas the green ones mark the spots, where there are cameras that you need to use to scan the code.

There are many QR codes in the city, on building walls and the other objects. Each one is a challenge, whose completing unlocks an additional mission connected with the DedSec hacker group. The locations are marked on the map after you unlock the ctOS towers for a given region (apart from one, located in the Pawnee district). On the map, there are 17 codes, where the 17th becomes available after you have scanned the remaining 16. Then, you get a phone call, after which the location of the extra mission becomes available on the map. Each code also adds a special audiolog to your collection. Scanning all of the codes and completing the extra mission is required to complete the game in 100%.

An example QR code

The QR codes marked on the map, in a given area, are distributed among several objects. You need to find the exact spot, from which, after you look in the direction of the code, you will see the whole, in the form of the full square. Here, there always is a camera which you need to use to scan the code, after you hack into it. For each code, there is only one, exclusive camera, which will scan the code correctly - you will then see a red rhomb displayed on the screen that informs you of the option to scan the code. Below, you can find a list of all of the QR codes, along with their descriptions, which point you to the correct camera and the image that shows, which signifies that the scan is ready to be performed.
