Unlocking mission 2 | Main missions - Act II Watch Dogs Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before the next main mission is unlocked, you need to perform several optional actions. The first one is to visit the pawn broker's close to Aiden's hideout, in the Parker Square district. Enter the store and start buying any components that you need for gadgets (apart from that, you can sell the items that you have stolen).
The second compulsory mission is breaking into the ctOS control center in the Brandon Docks district, where it activates only if you have not infiltrated this center yet, and you have not uploaded the trojan. Get into any car and go to Brandon Docks.
As you probably remember, from the third mission of the first act, the first step that you need to take, to break into the ctOS control center, it to steal the access code. Do not enter the premises of the enemy base, yet and start hacking into the successive cameras. Switch from camera to another and take a good look at the building with a big ctOS sign, in the Northern part of the base. It is here that you will find the person with the access code, shown in the above screenshot. Hold down the hacking key/button to download the code.
Only then, go towards the router, which is inside a small building, which the code holder is standing at. You can enter the premises of the base from many different sides. I recommend that you approach it from the Western side and hack into the garage gate to open it, to the North of the metal gate guarded by a guard. Enter the warehouse and take the stairs, After you climb to the upper floor of the warehouse, knock down the sniper here, or distract him (the Lure, the "talking moose" on the wall). Also, note that on the balconies, in the central part of the base, there also are two other snipers but, you do not need to bother with them.
Get below and approach the building with the router, from the West. I recommend that you make it onto the balcony shown in the above screenshot (it is a good idea to hack the nearby forklift, to your advantage) and hide behind the cover. You can wait for the guards to scatter or, for example, use the Blackout to limit their range of vision.
Enter the building with the router and, necessarily, hide behind the cover to prevent being spotted, while attempting to hack into the router. Hack into the device and complete the hacking minigame. After you load the camera view of the interior of the server room, you can hack into the side computers and watch video footage, or focus on uploading the trojan only, to the mainframe computer (you first need to switch to the next camera). After the successful action, you only need to make it out of the enemy base and I recommend that you climb out of the window.
Rewards for completing the mission: for unlocking new ctOS towers, 500 experience points
