Watch Dogs: 5 good tips

In Watch Dogs, you're the hacker Aiden Pearce in Chicago. We give you 5 good tips to complete the missions and the game faster and more successfully.

Watch Dogs - Tip 1: Take cover

Long chases are usually not the right and most promising solution.
Instead, try parking in remote locations and use the circle button to hide in your car.
Of course, the police shouldn't be right behind you at the moment. For example, try Hacking bridges during a chase. Most of the time, the pursuers then no longer manage to cross them and end in a dead end. This is your chance to hide!

If you are on the run, it often helps to hack the traffic lights with the pressed [square] key, but to brake at the last second even before the traffic lights.
Your pursuers are so often involved in major crashes that you sometimes turn them off completely.

Visit bars in Chicago to prove yourself in drinking games. In these games you have to use the [L] or [R] key to keep your balance despite being drunk and end the action with [L2] or [R2].
Walk through Chicago streets with an open ear. Passers-by hanging on their cell phones are almost always "hackable". It is often possible to earn money that quickly.
You can also try your luck at hacking at ATMs. However, sometimes you get hacked yourself and then have to find the online hacker in time. In these incidents, you should only stay in the marked search area and expose the hacker there using the [Square] key.

Often it is absolutely necessary to hack cameras, for example to get to remote servers.
Sometimes the hacked cameras overlook large spaces. Try to focus the attention of all the guards you want to pass.
For example, hack objects to blow them up or move forklifts or lifts back and forth.

Some players report jerking problems while playing Watch Dogs. We explain what you have to do if Watch Dogs jerks at you.
