Follow our Watch Dogs 2 walkthrough for Act 1: Thanks for the Tip. Learn how to bypass ctOS boxes, defeat Fixers, and escape the ambush.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After receiving a phone call from Clara, proceed to the waypoint in The Loop.
  2. 2
    Search the alley for crafting materials.
  3. 3
    Locate the access point, which is blocked by two ctOS boxes. You must deactivate both.
  4. 4
    The first ctOS box is on an upper level near the access point. Hack a camera by turning around from the access point and looking up to gain access to it.
  5. 5
    The second ctOS box is further east down the alley. Drop down and head east to a scissor lift. Look up to hack another camera, which will reveal the second box directly across the building.
  6. 6
    With both boxes deactivated, return to the access point and hack into the apartment.
  7. 7
    You will be ambushed by Fixers. If you deactivated the blockers, the men on foot will be slowed, but snipers remain in the buildings and more will arrive from the east alley.
  8. 8
    After escaping or eliminating all Fixers, proceed east to the waypoint at the Forever Sculpture to complete the mission.
Tips
  • Cunning Route - Explosive Action: Instead of engaging directly, take cover behind the railing or Protector near the box. Use cameras to spot the snipers. Both snipers are positioned near exploitable junction boxes. Exploding these will give you a height advantage. Engage the remaining marksmen as they enter the alley or ascend stairs.
  • Escape Route - Flee the Scene: It's possible to escape the area by exiting into the parking garage stairway. Jump down the way you initially climbed up, towards the blue sign with a 'P' on it. From there, acquire a vehicle and flee. You will need to evade the men on the streets, but you will not gain experience for killing them in the alley.
