Welcome to London, recruit! In Watch Dogs: Legion, you'll step into the shoes of DedSec, a resistance group fighting back against an oppressive private military company, Albion, that has taken over the city. This isn't your typical shooter; it's an open-world RPG where you can recruit literally anyone you see on the street, each with their own unique skills and backstories. Want a getaway driver? Find one. Need a skilled hacker? There's one around. Your mission is to build your team, master advanced hacking, and liberate London from Albion's iron grip.

This guide is your tactical manual for the uprising. We'll walk you through the ins and outs of operative recruitment, ensuring you build the most effective DedSec cell. We'll cover crucial story missions, including navigating the complexities of Operation Westminster and taking down key figures like Nigel Cass. Plus, we'll provide strategies for advanced hacking techniques and gear recommendations to help you succeed in every encounter and achieve your goals in this fight for freedom.

FAQ

Got questions about Watch Dogs: Legion? Find answers on operative deaths, guide structure, drone docks, subtitle radars, and more in this FAQ!

Hey there! So you've jumped into Watch Dogs: Legion and have a few burning questions? Totally normal! This guide is here to clear things up, just like I would if we were playing together. Let's get you sorted.

Q: Is there somewhere to check the names of my operatives that died?

A: Yep, you can find a list of your fallen operatives right at the start of the game's credits. Kinda somber, but good to know where to look.

Q: What's the main focus of this guide?

A: This guide is primarily focused on the main story and any side missions that seem interesting. We'll be taking a stealthy approach for the most part, focusing on using Spiderbots and Cargo Drones to get in and out without being directly noticed. Future updates might detail other tools or ways to tackle missions, though!

Q: What's up with the tables and how the guide is structured?

A: I felt tables work well because the game is built around separate locations with short objectives. The guide is broken down by chapter, making it easy to jump to specific objectives. I've included some images to help out, and missions are listed with their rewards. Not everything is filled in just yet, but it's growing!

Q: How do I know where the Drone Docks are?

A: You can spot these on the mini-map, and they're pretty cool because they show up even when they're outside the usual mini-map range. They look like a square within a square (think of the kanji character 回). Plus, the arrows on the side of the icon will show you if the dock or anything else you're tracking is higher or lower than your current position. Super handy!

Q: How do I know where the speaking character is using the subtitles?

A: This one's a neat little trick! The subtitles actually have a radar on the left side of them. You don't need to rely solely on headphones to figure out where a character is talking from. It's a pretty cool feature that makes tracking conversations much easier.

Q: Can my question end up here?

A: Absolutely! If you've got a question or some feedback, just share it however works best for you. If it fits and makes sense, I'll add it to this FAQ. I might even go looking for more questions myself if they seem relevant.

Tips
  • Keep an eye on those subtitle radars; they're a lifesaver for tracking dialogue in busy areas.
  • Don't underestimate the power of Spiderbots and Cargo Drones for stealthy approaches!
  • The guide is a work in progress, so check back for more mission details and rewards.
