The player can also gain multiple options while hacking the same object. For example, Marcus can modify the personal information of NPCs to have them arrested, hack and manipulate every mobile phone featured in the game, disrupt traffic by hacking cars and traffic lights, hack into monitoring cameras, and carry out "mass hacking", which hacks the electrical equipment of a large group of people. Marcus can hack into various electronic devices connected to the ctOS system with his in-game smartphone. Upgrades can be customized according to playstyles.
The game upgrades system is a returning feature, with items being divided into three categories: Ghost, Aggressor, and Trickster. When law enforcement witnesses the player committing a crime, or is alerted by a non-player character (NPC), police officers will attempt to arrest the player.
Marcus may also employ his own modular taser devices and explosives to use tactically against enemies. For example, a player may hack an A/C unit to produce an electric shock when an enemy nears it. Watch Dogs 2, like its predecessor, places a particular emphasis on using environmental apparatus and the terrain to Marcus' advantage. The player can use different methods to approach the game's missions, choosing between the aggressive approach, in which they defeat enemies with guns which are made with a 3D printer explosives, like mines or Marcus' own melee weapon, a billiard ball attached to a bungee cord.Īlternatively, the player can use the stealth approach, in which they can evade enemies or paralyze them temporarily with Marcus' taser. Marcus also has improved acrobatic skills, and the ability to parkour around the city. The player can shoot their weapons while driving. The driving mechanic was overhauled and designed to be more accessible. Players can navigate the game's world on-foot or by the various vehicles featured in the game, such as cars, trucks, buses, cable cars, motorcycles, quad bikes, and boats.
