Compare to the original Watch Dogs, gamers have plenty of hacking choices in the sequel. Players can control cars, drones and even shutdown a control tower. In addition, players can finish the game's main story missions in wide variety of ways.

In Watch Dog 2's first mission, Marcus is tasked to steal a security chip inside a delivery van from Haum, one of Blume's allied companies. In order to get the chip, Marcus has to infiltrate a dock that is heavily guarded, and it's here where the mission becomes exciting. Players can hack nearly everything in the game. Cars, doors, computers, smartphones are all easy targets for Marcus. Plus, there are RC Cars and Drones for stealth and spy missions, as per report from GameRant.
