Watch Dogs 2 – Access Keys

Recommended Videos

As you progress through the game, you’ll inevitably find yourself in restricted areas where you’ll need an access key in order to move forward. To locate an access key, first you’ll have to enter the Nethack mode. This can be done by hitting the R3 button to scan your surroundings. After doing so, look around for a red marker. This marker will either appear on a laptop or computer system, or an NPC. That’s the target you’ll need to hack in order to get the access key.

Once you’ve successfully hacked the target, you’ll obtain your key and you’ll be able to move on to the next area. Access keys are only required in certain areas of the game, so you won’t have to be constantly on the lookout for them, as the game will prompt you once you reach a roadblock where you need one to continue onwards. And that’s all you need to know about access keys and acquiring them in the game.
