Watch Dogs 2 Guide › Side Operations

Available Side Operations

These are optional operations ranging from simple remote hacking to full-on investigations. All of them take place across the Bay Area.

The following table lists all of them and whether they are related to Main Operations or unlock any other Side Operations.

Driver SF

Once you download the app, this enables you to earn both Followers and money by driving several citizens to different destinations across the Bay Area. All 18 different Driver SF missions are short, vehicle-based, and have specific methods of completion (e.g., some customers require you to reach a destination as quickly as possible). They are also detailed in this guide.
