Last update: 22 November 2016
Introduction
Watch Dogs 2 gives players multiple ways of completing a certain mission. Many tasks revolve around infiltration of highly guarded locations and stealing valuable data. The operations can be approach in various ways: you can act while hidden, by hacking cameras, vehicles or robots. You can also focus on gadgets, use explosives or simply avoid any confrontations. The more aggressive approach, which is dependent on direct combat is also a valid option. The description below is focused on a more subtle attitude, and the usage of the jumper and quadcopter. Remember, that the style of the gameplay can largely be adjusted to suit your personal preferences.
Prologue
After starting the game, you will find yourself in the centre of one of the Blume facilities. Your task is to wipe the ctOS database, which contains information about the main character. Run forwards and climb the ladder. Hide behind consecutive ventilation shafts and stun the guard when he is looking the other way. Afterwards, take the stairs downwards, hide behind one of the ctOS trucks and stun another guard. Keep advancing and avoiding detection, then neutralize yet another guard and take the precious item from the container next to you.
Head towards the closed door - to open it, climb onto the roof and hack the terminal. After a cutscene, keep running straight through the corridor and reach the blocked door. This time, opening it will be a bit more complicated - go back a bit and take control over the camera.
Next, switch the display to another camera, by using the other camera you will be able to hack the laptop and gain the access code without any issues. Return to your character and open the previously locked door. Keep going and take the stairs upwards. Go through the doorway and neutralize the guard. Keep heading upwards, until you reach the floor where your target is located. You can stun the guards easily or simply avoid them entirely. After you reach the server, your character will turn it off and the enemies will be alerted to your presence. You have to head to the upper levels, and then use a ladder to reach the ventilation shaft.
After a cutscene, jump to the level below you and enter the room with the ctOS database. Try hacking it, and then switch to the NetHack mode and redirect the nearby nodes in the appropriate direction. Begin wiping your database from the main computer. Afterwards, you will be able to choose a completely fresh profile and "create" a new identity for yourself.
When you regain control over your character, hack the control panel next to the guard and force a short circuit. Your main goal is now to escape the facility - it is best to avoid combat and jump down to lower levels, after reaching a giant ventilation shaft the prologue will end, and you will get to see a long cutscene which will introduce you to the world of Watch Dogs 2. After a noisy initiation you will join the ranks of the hacking opposition, it is time for real actions to begin.
Firstly, you must turn on your phone and open the App store. Download the Nudle Maps App and run it - it is simply a giant map of the world. Pick a shop/booth with clothes and use quick travel to head over there. Do some shopping and pick the image which suits you best. Now you should head to the HQ of the hackers - talk to them and use the new App ./Research. In this particular App you can develop Marcus's skills. After purchasing skills, approach the 3D printer to equip your hero with a weapon and to construct the jumper. Afterwards, talk to Horatio and walk up to the screens with the followers. Use another App, DedSec, and chose one of the main operations.
Walk in the Park
A very short mission, which is just a further introduction into the game's world. Head over to Dolores Park and then use the NetHack. Your goal is to reach the person highlighted in orange and to have a conversation with him/her. This will unlock further main and side operations.
