2. Be Careful With Drones
Marcus’ two drones are one of the greatest additions to Watch Dogs 2, but when invading other players, they can give you away just quicker than anything else. Using the quadcopter is the best way to get a view on your target without showing yourself, but it’s a big problem if the player spots it.
In the default view, the player can’t gather much from your drone in the sky, but when viewing your drone through hacknet, a red line will run between your drone to your location, and that’s a big problem. It’s best to not leave either drone in the area for the player to see, and the same caution extends to hackable infrastructure like scissor lifts, forklifts, cranes, etc.
What you can do, however, is use your quadcopter to initiate the hack. Find a nice hiding spot, launch the quadcopter, and begin the hack with it instead of having to close in on foot. Call back the drone immediately after, though, to avoid detection. This gives you an extra edge at the outset.
