Learn how to craft all the essential tools in Watch Dogs, including Focus Boosts, Grenades, and IEDs. Discover component costs and where to find them.
Alright, let's talk about crafting in Watch Dogs. This is how you'll be making most of the gadgets and tools Aiden uses, both for combat and for messing with enemies. To get started, you'll need to gather a few different components and unlock the ability to craft them through the Progression & Skills menu. There are five main types of components you'll be looking for, and you can either buy them from shops or find them as 'Items of Interest'. The only tricky one is the 'System Key' – those are usually found by hacking phones or sometimes during campaign missions.
Here's a quick rundown of what components go into what, and how much they cost:
| Component | Used In | Cost |
| Meds | Focus Boost | 200 |
| System Key | Blackout | - |
