The Name Game (phone booths hacks mission) | Side Operations Watch Dogs 2 guide, walkthrough
Last update: 18 November 2016
You can find out about this mission by hacking one of the phone booths (orange icons on the map) and listening to a recording. The operation concerns finding people responsible for hacking into phone booths and compromising DedSec members. It isn't very difficult, but Marcus has to visit several different parts of the city.
- Install tracking software in the phone booths
- Hack into another hacker's device
- Trace the source of the transmission
- Hack the tower transmitter
Install tracking software in the phone booths
The locations with phone booths are Lombard Street, Union Square and Civic Center. You can reach them in any order. The game won't give you the exact location, but you can solve this problem by entering the NetHack view near the given location. Look around and you'll find a booth (shown in orange). Hack into every booth to upload the hacking software [+5000 followers].
Hack into another hacker's device
A wireless device will come up on the map. It is located on the roof of one of the buildings. You can get there by climbing or using the quadcopter and hacking the device remotely [+5000 followersów].
Trace the source of the transmission
Go to the new location marked on the map. The interactive box is on the roof, but you can't hack into it right away. First, you need to find a Closed Circuit Terminal on the first floor (use the NetHack view and follow the red line) and complete a mini-game concerning a network bypass. When you do that, go back upstairs and hack into the box.
A successful hack will show you the view from one of the cameras inside the building. Switch to another camera (on one of the monitors) and hack the server shown above. [+5000 followersów].
Hack the tower transmitter
The tower is on Yerba Buena Island which is a restricted area. If enemies see Marcus, he will be attacked and reinforcements might be called. Eliminating the enemies is not necessary, but it is recommended. You can use firearms or a taser, but hacking vehicles is more convenient. Watch out for guard dogs - stay away from them or neutralize them (for example with a taser).
Regardless of what you did, you have to hack into the box shown above - either in person or with the jumper [+5000 followersów].
The last part is hacking the point at the top of the tower. It's really easy - activate the quadcopter, go to the interactive point and hack it [+7000 followersów].
Note - If you don't have a quadcopter yet, use a lift to get to the roof of one of the buildings. However, it's better to buy the drone instead of wasting time or risking being detected.
