Watch Dogs 2 is an open world Action-Adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the sequel to Watch_Dogs (released in 2014) and is set in the San Francisco Bay Area (which includes Oakland, Silicon Valley, and Marin County). The game was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC November 2016.It centers around a new protagonist, Marcus Holloway. Whereas Aiden Pearce (the first game's protagonist) went on to avenge his niece's death, Marcus, instead, is on a quest to clear his name after he was arrested for a cybercrime he didn't commit, and is on the side of rebel hacker group DedSec, who are trying to take down the newly installed ctOS 2.0 and the various corrupt entities within the Bay Area.Several gameplay additions and improvements have been made to this game, as part of the feedback regarding the mixed reactions garnered by the original game. The first trailer was released shortly after its confirmation. The second trailer was released later.The game is followed by Watch Dogs: Legion, released in October 2020. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Some of the buskers act in a similar manner to the World Famous Bushman, hiding behind leafy branches and scaring passing pedestrians. Mark Thruss is a combination between 2016 US presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump... which, as with !NVite, are both depicted very harshly. Mary Catskill, the CEO of !NVite, appearance and outfit greatly suggest she is based on Hillary Clinton. Ironically she is the one having the affair when in real life it was her husband that was accused of being in one. Gene Carcani is an obvious one of Martin Shkreli, down to being described as "the most hated man in America". The Tezcas are a rough equivalent to the real-life Zeta Cartel (the main difference is that the former are Gangbangers rather than a proper cartel), with whom Anonymous had a disastrous feud with. Here, it's the hacktivists that beat the violent criminals. | |

The entirety of "The Shuffler" sidequest, wherein it's nigh impossible for players to proceed, much less trigger the whole thing, by accident. In short, it involves snapping four randomly-shaped mystical-looking glyph in fixed locations can only be seen with hacker vision (it shows what vaguely looks like a grinning face without it), use the notes in the Hackerspace to decode the glyph as a time, and then go to an almost completely unmarked area before the exact time to trigger the apparition due to the narrow time window. | |

Negated Moment of Awesome | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: Played with in-story for pure laughs: an early mission has you stealing an Expy of the Knight Rider car. Cue a massive chase through the city, with the car carrying on an actual conversation with Marcus. Marcus is gushing about the idea of such an advanced AI actually existing... Until he notices a certain masked troll solemnly shaking his head, and realizes that Wrench had hacked the speaker in the car and had been taking the piss out of him. | |

The Main Characters Do Everything | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_1c9537cd | comment |
The Main Characters Do Everything: Marcus is the field operative to DedSec so he's usually doing the field work, but this is subverted. Everyone chips in on hacking the CyberDriver car, there are other DedSec members who provide software hacks and recon for Marcus (one even gets Marcus a disguise for a New Dawn mission. In fact, during the final mission, once Marcus' arrest warrant is upgraded to federal and it becomes unfeasible for him to leave the hackerspace, Sitara and Wrench do field ops with Marcus as support and Josh 3D prints a few dozen masks to fool the ctOS scan. In a sense, this is reconstructed since the police and Blume are focusing too much on looking for Marcus that they don't even notice or consider the other members of DedSec. | |

Take Our Word for It: Marcus is listening to the woman running against Thruss making a speech. We don't hear any of it but it's clear she's got his vote. We never get any information as to why DedSec is against Thruss aside from the fact that !NVite is supporting him. They state he is just a face in a cheap suit, but never describe what policies or platforms he is for that they are against. He doesn't even start going after them until they start attacking him first. | |

The example of Failed a Spot Check above is most likely a case of this; the mission was simply not scripted to have alternate dialogue if you used a DedSec branded car. | |

| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good Is Not Nice: DedSec as a whole are rather rude and mean, but they are an Anti-Hero Team. That said, Marcus can still be a terrible person, murdering civilians, causing tons of property damage, and generally being a dick. Wrench, who is insulting to their enemies, but still a Nice Guy to the rest of the crew. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: Of a sort. Aiden Pearce had all the same ctOS exploits that DedSec had by Clara who was a member, and he gave the exploits he developed to T-Bone who later joins the group. Marcus, however, needs to unlock the skills for himself. This is justified, since Blume has upgraded to ctOS 2.0 and has patched most of the known exploits, which Sitara even laments as DedSec missing the opportunity to do something big. | |

She calls the man in excitement telling him that there's enough to clear his name, which convinces him to walk away. If you do this in the wrong order however... | |

Recruiting the Criminal: The Ghost Signals side operation is based around this trope, the premise being the NSA putting out a signal to lure hackers into chasing it down and recruiting the successful ones under threat of arrest. Ultimately subverted as Marcus recognizes the ploy. Instead he deletes the logs of himself and the other two successful hackers at the end of the test. | |

Sequel Escalation | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_391d6577 | comment |
Sequel Escalation: Unlike in the original game, hacking into certain vehicles now enables the player to hack into their computer systems and veer them off into a direction of your choosing. Players can now make use of drones during a mission, allowing for long-distance hacks by which a mission can be completed without Marcus even having to set foot in a restricted area. There's more than one way to complete a mission. You can utilize hacking skills to manipulate your foes, send in drones and complete the job from a relatively safe area, or even just rush in with guns blazing. Multiplayer has gone into a straight-up online Wide-Open Sandbox, with players able to cooperate as well as face off, allowing for missions to be done by two players rather than one. | |

Skill Scores and Perks: Similar to the experience points, this is also justified - you're allocating Research Points whenever you level up or find gear that can be reverse-engineered out in the field. These are 'Spent' by getting the other DedSec members to work on improving the designs and creating exploits that you can use, such as improving the shock pistol's range or unlocking ctOS hacks. Also, skills are locked behind gear you find out in the field during missions since you haven't been able to look for exploits in that system yet. | |

| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: The story seems to have a heavy moral against overuse of technology, pointing out how it can be used in corrupt ways. The problem is that DedSec gains followers via social media. On the other hand, this plays right back into the game's intentions: New technology can do both horrible and great things. | |

Smug Snake: One of Horatio's coworkers boasts that he has him dead to rights as a DedSec member who hacked into their employers' servers thanks to a keylogger he put on his computer, and gloats to him about it before reporting him to HR. DedSec take him down a peg by framing him for Horatio's hack. A lot of the villains believe themselves to be untouchable, as they are heads of corporations, government officials or violent criminals who believe they can scare the local hacktivists into compliance, and almost undoubtedly end up getting their asses handed to them by DedSec. Dušan Nemec uses most of these morons for his own ends, but he is left speechless when Marcus exposes his insider trading at the end. | |

Not What It Looks Like: In the side mission that involves getting rid of a malicious SWATting Basement-Dweller, Marcus takes care of him by giving 911 a call and make them think that a crime is going on in his house. This includes making the man shout out death threats at his game, making one of his charging electronics explode, and making him scream with a Jump Scare, which are interpreted by the 911 operator respectively as a criminal shouting death threats at his victim, a gunshot, and a scream from the female victim. | |

Central Theme | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: The abuse of new technologies by those with power to oppress others, just like the first game. Only it's more of the focus of the plot rather than a Revenge plot. The game does point out that it's not just any Corrupt Corporate Executive that can do this, but rather anyone with even the slightest semblance of power. One Basement-Dweller is calling fake terrorist threats against other players online and one overheard phonecall is about a system admin getting fired for stealing a coworker's contact details and harassing her. The upside is explored as well: social media and technology can be used to effect real change for good, and allow anyone to do their bit, even if only in a small way. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: DedSec is quite concerned about their reputation, and even have an obnoxious SWAT-er arrested because he was associated with them. However, there are no negative consequences to bad behavior in game. There's nothing stopping Marcus from tossing IED's into traffic, gunning down security guards in order to complete his objectives, massacring cops, or starting Bay-wide police chases. Just like in the first game, it's also perfectly acceptable to steal money from people's bank accounts... the same people who you want to protect from spying corporations. In fact, the karma system the first game (where if Aiden's reputation was low enough, civilians would call the police on him) has been removed. Marcus and the rest of DedSec condemn a member who swats other people playing Rainbow Six Siege. Marcus gaining the ability to hack someone's profile to make them a high value target for the gangs or the police (Up to and including SWAT teams) never goes mentioned. Midway through the game, DedSec learn that a bunch of their followers and bots are fake, being set up by Nemec as part of a plan to discredit them, and he removes these followers once it succeeds. Despite followers being the game's equivalent to XP and progression, you do not suffer any loss of your unlocked skills afterwards. The example of Failed a Spot Check above is most likely a case of this; the mission was simply not scripted to have alternate dialogue if you used a DedSec branded car. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: During the Bottom Dollar side mission, the game doesn't point out how to alter a user's bank account. Until you figure out that the left side creates a positive event while the right side does something negative, you would either be looking at a user while doing nothing, or accidentally destroy half a foreign student's funding or delete someone's entire bank account. The entirety of "The Shuffler" sidequest, wherein it's nigh impossible for players to proceed, much less trigger the whole thing, by accident. In short, it involves snapping four randomly-shaped mystical-looking glyph in fixed locations can only be seen with hacker vision (it shows what vaguely looks like a grinning face without it), use the notes in the Hackerspace to decode the glyph as a time, and then go to an almost completely unmarked area before the exact time to trigger the apparition due to the narrow time window. | |

| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd | comment |
Boss in Mook Clothing: Enforcers return from Watch_Dogs as common enemies who resist large amounts of damage from ordinary firearms. Enforcers no longer wear bomb suits and are easier to dispatch, but keep the same battle strategy of slowing advancing towards the player's position while constantly firing a powerful gun. Enforcers can either be men in bulky armor, or obese criminals wearing bulletproof vests, depending on what organization they are affiliated with. | |

Summon Bigger Fish: The Social Engineering skill tree lets you summon nearby Gangbangers or cops to deal with enemies by pinning them as targets/criminals. Upgrading them increases the power of the unit summoned up to Enforcers and SWAT units. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: Several main quest lines are started after the target directly attacks DedSec via the media, with the counterattack publicly humiliating them. The fights were engineered by Blume to get DedSec to attack them as part of their schemes, making this an invoked trope. New Dawn does this twice - the first time, their shill Jimmy Siska stars in a movie called CyberDriver with the villains being expies of DedSec (Although Marcus and Wrench are more into it because it's a bad movie). The second time, New Dawn DMCA'd DedSec's parody video of the CyberDriver trailer which caused Marcus to help Siska to defect and destroy their "Holy Relics", proving beyond reasonable doubt that New Dawn are conning their followers. Haum's CTO went on TV to boast that Haum 2.0 was completely hackproof then publicly insulting DedSec live on air. If you happen to know the incident with Anonymous and HB Gary Federalnote It's listed in the Real Life section of Bullying a Dragon you should know what's coming. Lenni installs ransomware onto their servers and, when Marcus speaks to her, demands that they make a video slandering themselves or they'll release member names. Cue DedSec screwing Prime_Eight out of a deal with the Sons of Ragnarok and crashing her Hacker Cave. The FBI is trying to force hackers into working for them via blackmail and intimidation, but then they kidnapped Wrench, beat the shit out of him, and stole his mask. This really ticks off Marcus. The Tezcas kidnapped Horatio, tried to force him to turn on DedSec for them, and stabbed him to death when he refused. Marcus goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, burning several drug shipments for the Tezcas before beating or killing the four Tezca members who killed Horatio. One side operation is based around another group doxxing DedSec. Notably lampshaded in the mission description. | |

Murder by Remote Control Vehicle: It's possible to acquire the ability to gain basic directional control (forward, backwards, left or right) over any vehicle, and while this doesn't allow for full control, it does turn every single parked car into a battering ram Marcus can use to flatten any enemies unfortunate enough to be standing nearby. | |

| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_895ec17 | comment |
The Oakland PD is revealed to be this in the "$911" Side Operations, as they're using ctOS to authorize "shoot on sight" permission to schools, clinics and stores in low-income regions, and to get away with illegal criminal deals (such as a car theft ring with the 580s, drug deals with the Bratva, having The Tezcas deliver dead bodies so the police can dispose of them, and even taking people to Alcatraz to execute before dumping their bodies into the sea) by being registered as "undercover". The ending is more optimistic, showing that the corrupt cops will get put away and a proper investigation launched. | |

Cool Car | |

Cool Car: There are plenty of expensive cars for Marcus to purchase on the Car on Demand app, but a special mention has to go to the CHP-AAD that has a special DedSec design on it and animated rear lights. Acquired after the Cyber Driver mission, this car has high stats all around, with good top speed, good acceleraiton, and great traction and durability, with every bar being at max or near max. Other special vehicles can be acquired by finding them throughout San Francisco, like a jeep that's a Shout-Out to Jurassic Park, or can be obtained through DLC like a monster truck. | |

Not Me This Time: Why Marcus went after an internet troll - he SWATted streamers he was playing Rainbow Six Siege against and claimed it was a DedSec operation. A DLC mission has the Bratva try to take revenge against DedSec for screwing over one of their operations by decorating several vehicles with a DedSec motif and planned to use them in a major crime and let the police do the rest concerning on who was responsible. The goal of this task is to destroy all the vehicles. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: To enter the NetHack view, you have to click in the right stick. If you do this while in a vehicle, it just shows you the rear view, so you can't normally enter NetHack view while driving, except for if you're driving a special truck that allows you to do so. Problem is, clicking the right stick still shows you the rear view, so to enter NetHack view while driving this special truck, you have to click in the left stick instead. | |

Foreshadowing: Dušan meets Marcus in the !NVite building which Marcus breaks into. He's in a Big Bad Duumvirate with Mary Catskill, !NVite's CEO. The news reports that will play on the UI are usually either showing the fallout of DedSec operations such as Tagging the Golden Gate bridge or bringing up characters and plot points from future missions for example Miranda's feud with New Dawn, the FBI's plans for hackers and the increasing violence of the Tezcas. Early in the game, you might notice that of all the side missions Marcus can receive from the hackerspace, none of them comes from Horatio. That's because he'll be killed halfway through the game. When you arrive a Swelter Skelter, you hear a very familliar voice announcing the Hacking Challenge that ends the sequence. Sure enough Raymond Kenney shows up in the following cut scene and join's the team. You can also see several of Ray's booby traps around the area. | |

Creator Career Self-Deprecation: One of the side quests is based around Marcus leaking information about a new game by Ubisoft, acknowledging some of their own real games which were leaked. | |

And That's Terrible | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_a1b74f5d | comment |
And That's Terrible: Subverted. When discussing dirt about their targets, the main characters outright say that what they've been doing such as manipulating social media to help their favored political candidate and firing employees for searching for specific terms on social media is illegal. Although this does point out lesser-known aspects of the law which are often abused by law enforcement to entrap civilians. Played straight in the fact Blume is their primary target over their mass-data mining, insider trading, and election fraud when lesser targets include drug dealers as well as human traffickers. Then again, Blume is responsible for the 2007 financial crisis. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Dušan testing Bellwether and other Blume resources by manipulating the stock market gets him thrown in prison at the end, and (with the current patch) inspired new DedSec and other hacktivist groups worldwide!. The plan by a group of hackers to publish a dox on DedSec would have succeeded had they not decided to test their release method by hacking payphones. Also Dušan exposing how he'd been playing Ded Sec for the first part of the game does almost cause them to disband, but it also prompts them to go to Swelter Skelter, where they encounter Raymond 'T-Bone' Kenney, one of the most dangerous enemies Blume has. Furthermore he is directly responsible for Ded Sec finding out about the satellite backbone, toppling Tidis' plans for a robot army and Mark Thuss' campaign. DedSec do not appear to be actively in conflict with the Tezcas before they kidnap and murder Horatio, afterwards several high ranking gang members are dead and DedSec's retaliation costs them a lot of money through destroying their pot field, wrecking one of their shipments and ruining their dog fights. | |

During Swelter Skelter, meeting up with Wrench at the Thunderdome leads to a short discourse about the role of the "little guy" in a fight, and that while it's usually to provide an inspirational "overcome obstacles" story, in this case the little guy is going to get clobbered. Talking to him again leads to the dropping of a very emphatic Oh, Crap! as apparently the little guy gets totaled. | |

Everyone Has Standards: DedSec do not tolerate internet trolls, especially those who put innocent lives at risk. One side quest is Marcus going after a recent recruit who's been SWATting to get an advantage at Rainbow Six Siege. It's implied by Josh and Wrench that hacking hospitals and then using ransomware or just hacking hospitals in general is a line that most hackers wouldn't dare to cross. note Although the real-life event which inspired that wasn't targeting hospitals specifically, so maybe there's a good amount of truth to his statement. | |

Take That! | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: A lot of the missions target specific controversies and the people who sparked them, with DedSec's intervention generally coming off as karmic. During the Ubisoft mission, when Marcus asks the others what is the one thing gaming sites want more than anything else, Josh answers "to be considered journalists". Each variant of the sandals and socks clothing option is named after a city in the North Bay (The collective name for the counties from San Francisco north to about Napa). Take of that what you will. Some of the phone status's for NPC's that you can snoop on come off as jabs, things like "Attends Furry Conventions". | |

Cutting the Knot: If you're patient, or just happen to be looking around in the right places, you can bring a scissor jack to some of the pickup points around the map and circumvent the maze/hacking challenge in some of them by just using the jack to get high enough to reach the pickup. This mostly works on the ones on roofs as they often have a challenge to get up to them but are otherwise unguarded. | |

I Know Your True Name | |
| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_d3b02ffb | comment |
I Know Your True Name: One side operation involves finding out who doxxed several DedSec members before they release the information. Once Marcus finds out it was Prime_Eight, and that they're planning to hijack the airwaves to broadcast the names on public radio, he swaps the DedSec list with one on the hackers themselves. A serious problem in the story later on, since Marcus' ctOS profile was restored by Dušan and there was a warrant put out with his name on it, although not long after, it's erased once again by T-Bone. | |

Red Herring: During the initiation party on a Marin beach for Marcus joining DedSec, Dusan shows up asking for the time and gets his hands on Marcus’ phone just long enough to perhaps slip something nefarious on it to show up later in the game— But nevermind because Marcus soon, for no other reason than drunken frustration, hurls his phone right into the Pacific. | |

She thinks they're criminals who hide behind the idea that they're "Fighting for the people", completely blind to the fact that yes, they really are good guys. She's in it for herself and thinks she's better than them because she admits to being the criminal she thinks they're too afraid to admit they are. | |

Expy: DedSec remains from the last game as one of Anonymous. Nudle is an obvious stand-in for Google, and has a map system that can be used by Marcus. However, both Blume and Haum were also stand-in for Google due to operating system monopoly and smart house specialty, respectively. !NVite is a harsh take on social media services such as Facebook and Twitter. Gallilei is one for Tesla, both being tech companies named after the surnames of prominent scientists. Swelter Skelter is this world's Burning Man. Cyber Driver is the Watch_Dogs equivalent of Knight Rider, including having a Cool Car that talks. Driver SF is basically Uber, being an app that you can use to call someone nearby as an impromptu cabbie. The Church of the New Dawn is clearly a stand-in for The Church of Scientology. DedSec even launches a campaign against them to expose them as frauds similar to how Anonymous did in 2008. | |

Weather Dissonance: The game's San Francisco is unnaturally scarce with the city's trademark fog. From a Watsonian perspective the game is set in spring/summer 2016 when California was just coming off the end of a drought while the Doylist explanation is that the devs put a lot of work into fog including patching in a specific "San Francisco Fog" graphical option for the PC but just couldn't quite nail it. | |

Artistic License – Geography: As one may expect this game bit off more than it could chew and doesn't actually depict the entire Bay Area and Silicon Valley. On top of everything being shrunken down, notable areas are missing such as the complete absence of Nob Hill and Golden Gate Park leading right into the Presidio with the entire Richmond neighorhoods missing (The city of Richmond in the East Bay is also gone). The local news channel is WKZ. Stations with codes begining in W are all east of the Mississippi. K used for the rest of the country. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: Aside from the widespread adoption of the ctOS system, the world is otherwise on the same technology level as our own, but there are still a few hints that it takes place a few years forward. The most obvious is that the game presents the Salesforce Tower as being fully completed, whereas it was still under construction in 2016. Another indication is that apparently, Assassin's Creed: Osiris was leaked like Unity and Syndicate. | |

After completing the New Dawn quest to attack their compound you can hear guards talking about how one of their friends, a member, has quit due to the DedSec hack and their plans to help him hide from the church. Dušan prevented the FBI from sending Wrench to Guantanamo Bay and got him released. While he did have his motives, that was still above and beyond the call. | |

| Watch_Dogs 2 (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The developers took the time and effort to be careful about what code shows up in front of your eyes in-game, such as the cutscenes and the laptops in the hacker-spaces, to the point the game actually avoids falling into the Hollywood Hacking trap of showing unrelated (often very wrong) code that's used whenever you see anything code-related happening. A lot of the terminal commands the Dedsec crew use to execute hacker-things are based on legitimate terminal terminology, as well as making use of Debian Linux commands that are at least based on real commands and file paths (albeit modified for gameplay purposes), which makes the hacking experience come across as more genuine. To wit, the epilepsy warning screen is a good example, and has a code scrawl that references the "Ext4-fs" filesystem (the default used by Linux OS's), correctly identifying it as "sda1" (the disk/ partition naming scheme in a file table), and also using the less-common name for Windows OS's filesystem; "FUSE" instead of the more common "NTFS". | |
