Pick A Character Types Based On Playstyle

It's a good idea to to acquire all the tech that will turn a normal person into a proper watchdog, and it's important to the situation. Depending on individual gameplay preferences, some characters will perform better than others because each has a focus on combat, stealth, or pure hacking. Want to sneak in an area unnoticed? Pick someone who uses covers and hacking skills to create diversions. Want to beat people with a fistfight? Pick a brawler who might also be able to tank a lot of damage. Either way, every person has strengths and weaknesses. Understanding what to look for and what to avoid sets up the foundation to build the ultimate operative of choice.

Keep An Eye Out For Rare Characters

Choosing the best possible character to play is a daunting task mainly due to the sheer number of NPCs on the streets of London. Keeping a close watch on the Profiler tool, and upgrading it, makes this process easier and helps reveal the characters' passive and active abilities. The game also tracks and remembers what players do, creating opportunities accordingly. When such a scenario arises, useful recruits can be added into the player's team, and the possibilities are numerous. For instance, someone might need a friendly hacker to solve a problem related to fraudulent activity. That someone might turn out to be a professional hitman who could join DedSec and perform better in combat than a paramedic.

Obtain Lots Of Tech Points

In addition to their individual abilities, players have a variety of gadgets at their disposal. Each is unlocked and upgraded using Tech points. Luckily, a fair supply of this green diamond currency is obtained by playing through the game and completing missions. The other way to get this precious resource is to look for it in the world. Exploration is a great way to approach the task, but taking back a neighborhood in a Borough Uprising mission will reveal all the tech points in an area — just like climb synchronization towers to reveal the collectibles in games. Focusing on this particular activity nets all the points needed to build an arsenal worthy of a professional hacker.

Unlock Gadgets And Upgrades

Various unlockable gadgets, each with upgrade levels, provide invaluable assistance to team members. Some items are more useful than others in a particular situation, and some work better with different people's skills. The game is not strict when it comes to limiting players' choices. Missions can be accomplished with either stealth or action, or a mix of both. Keeping this in mind helps determine which gadget should be chosen for unlock over another, especially when tech points reserves are low. will turn any stay-at-home grandpa in a serious threat for Albion, which may not totally make sense, like a in the game.

Exploit The AR Cloak

Reminiscent of the iconic Stealth Camo from the , this particular item turns players invisible for a short time and makes infiltrating any area easier. The upgrades increase the duration of the cloak and decrease the distance required to initiate a takedown. Pairing this gadget with silent weapons makes taking down enemies a straightforward process that requires minimal maneuvering. Aside from being a must-have stealth resource, the cloak can also be used to escape tricky situations where enemies have the player surrounded.

Use The Spider-Bot Often

The spider-bot is one of the most useful gadgets in the game. It can be upgraded to have its own AR Cloak mechanism, and it can also take down enemies by jumping on their faces. A good tactic is to use it stealthily to eliminate as many enemies as possible. If the Spider-Bot is spotted, its upgraded version has an AR Cloak that can provide a second chance and at least one more takedown. It can also be deployed as a turret in a pinch with the combat upgrade, quickly assisting the player in gunfights. It's possible to complete segments or the entirety of a mission just using this versatile little friend. In addition, the Spider-Bot is required to reach puzzle areas otherwise inaccessible, where hidden audio logs and Tech points are stored, which are necessary to further enhance a character.

Bring The LTL Stun Gun For Stealth And Close Quarters-Combat

Another versatile tool that adds viability to a character is the Stun Gun, a unique weapon obtained by recruiting certain people into the legion. When it comes to approaching an area full of enemies, it might be best to dispatch them methodically. The Stun Gun offers just about enough range to take down almost anyone (except the fully armored enemies) in one hit, silently. In gunfights, this item also works well at close range since it does not lose its stopping power. The only caveat is its slower firing rate compared to lethal firearms, but it can still provide enough breathing room when it quickly stuns one or two rushing enemies.

Deactivate And Hijack Combat Drones

The combat drones are one of the toughest enemies in the game. Their large health-pool, ability to fly over and guard pathways, and mounted machine gun make them incredibly hard to deal with, especially early in the game. Unlocking the upgrade to hijack these formidable weapons can quickly change the odds of a battle, supplying players with enough firepower to take down large groups of enemies. In terms of raw force, the combat drones are also able to instantly disable a police car with their missile launcher.

Disrupt Hack To Quickly End Fights

Whether a character is a royal guard from Buckingham Palace or a beekeeper who loves classical music, the Disrupt hack brings a swift end to any melee fight. This can be especially useful for characters who struggle at holding their own without weapons, but it's also an important tool for enforcers who want to quickly move along to a different target. Whatever the case, this hack instantly stuns an enemy and allows players to immediately take them down.

No Need For Microtransactions

Watch Dogs: Legion has an in-game store that features exclusive characters and cosmetic skins for guns and vehicles, all obtainable through microtransactions. These unlocks are purely aesthetic and are not necessary in the quest to build up a member of DedSec. Every skill or tech point needed can be found in the game itself. Cosmetics are also easily obtained by playing and exploring London, resulting in plenty of clothing options for characters. Buying something in the in-game store offers no benefits whatsoever, so there is no need to worry about missing out on special abilities or unique skills.
