Watch Dogs 2 - ScoutX locations list and rewards for taking selfies near San Francisco attractions Watch Dogs 2 ditches collectibles for selfies - and rewards you with more poses. Guide by Matthew Reynolds Managing Editor Updated on 19 Jan 2021 Instead of traditional collectibles, you'll be running around Watch Dogs 2 ScoutX locations and taking selfies with the many attractions of San Francisco - to famous landmarks, cultural artworks to unique individuals that populate the city. [4K] Watch Dogs 2 PS4 Pro Gameplay - First Look/Analysis How ScoutX selfies work in Watch Dogs 2 How it works is simple - when you're near an attraction, your phone will buzz to say it's close by. Take out the phone, and perform a selfie in its general direction, and the ScoutX location will appear in the upper left corner when you have it in shot. If you see the ScoutX details in the corner, snap away. Attractions can be landmarks or people, and the only real difficulty is when it comes to the latter. There's a chance they won't be there when you arrive (the game will tell you as such if that's the case), in which case return later. The vast majority will appear in the day time, but a small number (which we mention below) will appear at night. ScoutX rewards in Watch Dogs 2 Every ScoutX snap gives you an additional 8,000 Followers, making it an easy top up if you're in the right area. Also, at various landmarks you'll unlock a new selfie pose for future snaps: Smiley - 3 landmarks Surfs up! - 10 landmarks Dayum! - 15 landmarks Smooth Operator - 20 landmarks Hey, girl! - 30 landmarks WTF - 40 landmarks Waterworks - 50 landmarks Also, if you're looking to get the 'Got the Shutterbug' Trophy, you need to visit 25 ScoutX locations.
