Ways to unlock and general premises | Gang Hideouts Watch Dogs Guide

Gang Hideouts is one of the four main categories of side missions that you can complete in your spare time (they are not available while you are on a mission). The missions of this type revolve around infiltrating the hideouts and Aiden needs to reach one, or several of the wanted people. After the identification of the target(s), your character needs to take him (them) down in melee and for that, it is recommended that you act from hiding (raising the alarm may result in the escape of the person and/or in calling in the reinforcements).

An example marker of a gang hideout

The successive hideouts become available at random moments of the game and in random order. You receive information, of the availability of another hideout, with a message displayed on the screen. Apart from that, on the world map, there will appear a new marker (a blue point that marks the starting point).

Three points to remember:

1) Unlike in the case of the Crimes Detected, you do not need to hurry to complete these missions, because they do not disappear, abruptly, from the world map.

2) Each gang hideout is considered to be a separate mission so, from the moment on which you start it, you will not be able to start any other mission.

3) One of the requirements to complete the game in 100%, is to visit all of the 15 hideouts. Do not worry if not all of them are available at the very beginning, because they will be unlocked with your progress in the game (you can speed up this process by completing some other side missions).

Thanks to the gang hideouts, you can obtain skill points and cash

There are various rewards that you receive, after you complete a mission. They have been listed below:

• Cash
• Skill points (they are awarded at the end of each side mission)
• Experience points (only for the elimination of the mission targets and the other enemies)
• The "AK-47" assault rifle
• The "Quick Fingers" skill (it is helpful if you use assault rifles and the other weapons that need to be reloaded often, on a regular basis)
• The "Spec Ops SMG-11" sub-machine gun (it is suppressed so, it is useful for the elimination of enemies without raising the alarm around the entire enemy base)
• The "Basest Base" achievement/trophy (you need to complete 15 of the side missions)
