The Guide
The Zed StateWhenever you stun a hostile they will fall into what I like to call the "Zed" state. During this state, they will display "Zzz" sprites and will be incapable of detecting you. But be cautious because hostiles (robots, humans and animals) can't sleep forever (unless they're dead.) So after time passes, the number of Z's will decrease from 3 to 1. During that time you are able to roam around freely and even dance on their helpless body!
However when the Z's finally disappear the poor hostile will wake up and attempt to regain consciousness. Don't worry, you can always stun them again (stun during Zed state to reset the 'Zed counter') and carry on dancing.
Free GunsThat's right! Due to the nature of Watch_Dogs 2 drop system, it's possible to grab free guns from the lifeless bodies of your victims! You don't have to spend any cash to pimp out your loadout, just kill and loot. Restock ammo at pawn stores if you need it.
But remember, when you choose to pick up a weapon and your loadout is full (max 2 weapons + stun gun) it will replace the currently held weapon.
Scout FirstEven if this game offers aggressive approaches, I still believe that you should utilise the cameras which are almost everywhere. The cameras allow you to determine the location as well as walk patterns of enemies, the tools and sections of the area which you could use to your advantage and even some hidden easter eggs ;-)
Bikes o' CarsUntil you unlock the Hijacker skill in the Tinkering skill tree, bikes will be your best friend. Why you ask? They don’t have alarms, they’re quite fast, and they're incredibly useful when escaping police through the alley ways.
Bonus Tip: You are able to stick explosives to vehicles, go nuts driving those suicidal bikes !
Don't Trust The PoliceHonestly, the police in this game represent the American police abit too well. If they ask you to pull over after chasing you DO NOT PULL OVER! If you wish to keep your life you'll keep on driving. If you stop - you get shot to death.
Bonus Tip: Want to anger the police? Just stand next to them for a few seconds - they get triggered easier than the internet.
Dogs In-GameYou must - pet them.
Unless they're agressive, then you shoot them in the face.
Become an Uber DriverPerhaps you don't like being a taxi for hire, but trust me - it's hysterical and beneficial early game. It's possibly one of my favourite aspects of this game, setting you in unique scenarios and contains some of the best lines in the game!
Bonus: Each trip will net you between $2800 to $9600.
Wallhacks? Nah, NetHacksNetHack is something like Spider Man's senses, they display points of intrest much clearer and the ability is a god-send during Hacking Invasions. It will display your enemies though the walls after you've scanned/tagged them through the cameras/gadgets.
CarOnDemand LazynessI heavily suggest not buying any pricy cars at the car dealers for a few reasons. First of all, the appalling service of Car On Demand. A service which basically delivers your car to you, it sounds great - but at times the car is delivered 200 or even 500m away from you. I don't know about you but I'd rather steal a ride, even if it doesn't have a sexy paint job.
Secondly, the city is full of priced cars. If you've never been to the rich areas, you don't need to - the city is loitered with brand new, fast and straight up beast cars.
Flight of the ValkyriesWell, perhaps not literal Valkyries - but drones are close enough, right?
This thing is a $67,500 beauty. It allows you to clear hacking puzzles with ease, cause havoc from above, and even create aerial bombardment runs on other players (with the aid of some skills.)
If not your first purchase, it should be in the top 3.
Radio Can Be UsefulExcept for some of the great songs on the radio, it also updates you with the latest news happening around you. Most often, it comments on what DEDSEC or the major companies have done. Your actions affect it, listen in sometime after you've done something grandeur.
