Watch Dogs 2 eGuide Side Operations Proviblues

3. Operation—Risk Clause

Objectives

Hack into the Proviblue server.

Brief

Proviblue is using a “risk clause” to jack up their rates. Sometimes risks don’t pay off.

Hostiles

Umeni Security Corps

Location

Guarded alley, southeast of Connelly Square (two blocks southeast of Embarcadero Center), San Francisco.

The Proviblue Bank has its corporate HQ close by, to the southeast of Connelly Square, but you’re here to find an access point at the unloading yard behind the building’s fancy façade.

Infiltration Points

Main Security Alley (Southwest):

A covered entrance with a security hut and nearby guard. This is a narrow, enclosed opening. Locate the ladder just in front of the hut, allowing a quick and nimble infiltration up to a metal gantry above the hut and a fast route to the objective.

Parking Lot Alley (East):

The parking lot attached to the building’s southeastern side has numerous openings and an interior tunnel leading to the yard’s northeast end. The bonus is that the alley northeast of the yard isn’t a restricted area, so you have free movement and can plan an attack or stealth attempt with space to spare.

POIs and Objective Points

Building Security Router

Attached to a wall in the northern part of the area, this is accessed by the gantry platform (above IP1) or metal stairs to the northeast. This is a physical hack, so only you or the RC Jumper can access this.

Paths to Completion

There are only two main entrances, and the drone can’t hack the objective, making a stealth run more straightforward than normal.

Alley Up and at ‘Em

Enter from IP1, and throttle the guard at the security hut. Climb the ladder to the gantry above the hut, creep onto the roof where the objective is, and throttle the guard up here. Then simply hide and tase the rest of the guards until you secure the area (or coax them toward vault hazards or distract them using the forklift).

Alley Up

Enter from IP2, then head to the concrete wall and trash bins to the north (under the bank sign). Produce your RC Jumper, and bounce it over the wall and up the metal steps. Hack the objective without being seen by the guard on the roof.

Alley Oops

After raising the road blockers (so reinforcements can’t drive into the area), enter from IP1 or IP2 on a motorbike. Before the guards can react, drive the bike through the crate-filled alley and up the metal steps to the low roof. Disembark and kill everyone (just watch out for the two large explosive tanks). The bike makes a good getaway vehicle afterward. Another good option (after completing the objective) is stealing one of the bank vans, which is well armored, and knocking down the pallets blocking your way, squashing the guards.

Hacking into the office of a drunk employee allows you to check a laptop and plant some nasty malware. Josh has adjusted the bank’s risk clause algorithm, so it goes down instead of up. But you haven’t finished yet!
