Whistleblower | Side Operations Watch Dogs 2 guide, walkthrough
Last update: 12 December 2016
This mission will be added automatically, after you've completed two other side missions - Infected Bytes and Stolen Signals. The new mission will pick up the plot focusing on the Greystrom company, which had once again found its way into DedSec's bad books, this time for brutalizing one of the eponymous whistleblowers.
Homewreckers
In the first part of the mission, you'll have to visit two locations related to the whistleblower. The icon to the north is a bank in Oakland, where the whistleblower has an account. Once you're there, you'll have to hack the box located on a balcony. Find a platform lift, move it near the building and use the platform to access the balcony.
Having hacked the box, you will see a camera image showing one of the offices inside the bank. Look right and switch to another camera. Continue until you reach webcams installed in desktop monitors. You have to find a camera that shows the view depicted on the screenshot above (with the PC case located left of an bank employee). Hack that computer.
The other location, in southern Oakland (south of Blume arena) is the whistleblower's apartment; same as previously, the box is located on the roof. Once you reach the apartment, find the lift depicted on the screenshot. Use remote hacking and bring it down. Don't worry when the lift doesn't come down all the way, you'll still be able to reach the roof.
Get a bike, any bike will do, and head for the multi-storey car park. Drive to the top and find the ramp marked on the upper screenshot. Gather enough momentum and jump, you should land exactly on the lift you had lowered earlier (second screenshot) or at least on the nearby ledge. Now you can order the lift to go back up and enable you to gain access to the box.
After you've hacked the system, you will see a picture from inside the whistleblower's apartment. Switch to the camera installed in the toy hidden in the bookcase. From there, you'll be able to easily hack the laptop laying on the kitchen counter [+13000 followers].
Intervention
Now, you'll have to find the whistleblower before he commits suicide. Reach the location marked on the map and hack the box. You'll see an image from a camera on the roof; your task will be to change Jason Fassbender's mind about killing himself. Begin by hacking his phone to call his office. Next, hack his laptop, located on the left, to dig through his emails. Finally, hack his phone once again to call a news reporter. This will complete the mission [+14000 followers].
