With the release of Ubisoft's "Watch Dogs 2", the next installment of the franchise hopes to achieve the high expectations that the predecessor failed to satisfy. The video game is set in a fictional version of the San Francisco Bay area with open world style gameplay associated with many of Ubisoft's games including the "Assassin's Creed" series. With so many possibilities in the game, it is easy to get overwhelmed. Here are several tricks to help the efforts of virtual hacktivism:
Get the Quadcopter
The drone is the most important item in the game according to Forbes. While the RC car is given at the beginning of the game, getting extra money to buy the quadcopter is the best approach. The drone can scout enemy positions, set up booby traps, and even hack objectives on its own.
Do Not Forget to Fast Travel
Ubisoft has really improved vehicles in the game with every vehicle a lot more fluid according to the Twinfinite website. With that said, the game's map is pretty large and taking the time to drive from one point to another can prove time consuming. Luckily, the fast travel option is available from the start of the game with a lot of points already unlocked.
Get the Car Thievery Upgrade
When using fast travel, Marcus often ends at the point without any car at his disposal. Due to that, players will have to order a car through an app or even try to steal one which usually ends with the car setting off an alarm. With the Car Thievery upgrade cars can be easily opened without setting off any alarms making it much easier. However, the Remote Drive Cars ability needs to be bought first to unlock Car Thievery.
Mix Hacks
The game focuses a lot on hacking and there are different types of hacks available in game. Mixing them together will usually produce effective results. For example, a moving car can be turned into an EMP by using an Electro Shock Device hacked so it can trigger near enemies. The car can then be hacked and driven into an unsuspecting group of enemies.
Aside from the numerous options available in the video game, secrets are also spread throughout it.
