Master Watch Dogs' ctOS Control Center with this comprehensive guide. Learn entry strategies for Western, North Bridge, Eastern Gates, and Southern Windows, plus stealth and aggressive routes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Make your way to the ctOS Control Center and choose an entry strategy.
  2. 2
    Western Gate: Hack the main gate, but avoid the guard behind it. Head right and hack the control panel near a smaller mesh door to enter.
  3. 3
    North Bridge: Use the construction ramp to climb fencing and boxes for an overview and camera access.
  4. 4
    Eastern Gate: Go around the right side of the main gate and use blocks to climb behind the yellow and black barrier for a height advantage and hacking opportunities.
  5. 5
    Southern Windows: Enter through guarded windows. Hacking the guard's hidden camera is possible but difficult without advanced skills or sound-reducing weapons.
  6. 6
    Cunning Route - Using the Cameras: Access cameras from outside the center to mark guards and locate the man with the access code. Distract the guard with the hidden camera and hack his camera to reach the access point.
  7. 7
    Stealth Route - Melee it Up: Use distractions like forklifts, car alarms, and explosions to enter and take out guards quietly for maximum XP. Hack the crane holding a large container to kill two guards with minimal risk.
  8. 8
    Aggressive Route - Pull Out Your Gun: Engage guards directly with firearms. This will trigger reinforcements, providing additional experience.
  9. 9
    Once the access code is obtained, head to the southeast corner of the upstairs interior level.
  10. 10
    Hack the control panel on the wall near a phone.
  11. 11
    Solve the access point puzzles by guiding the blue beam to the lock. Start from the bottom and work upwards.
  12. 12
    In the final puzzle, turn the red switch to make the beam go right, then quickly complete the puzzle to access the server room.
  13. 13
    Inside the server room, hack the three video logs.
  14. 14
    Hack the main server to complete the mission.
