Watch Dogs 2 Guide › Side Operations › Shadows

2. Operation—Bad Intentions

Objectives

Hack Victor Cheung’s phone.

Brief

We know the Bratva and Auntie Shus have a shady deal in the works, so DedSec’s headed to a known Auntie Shu hangout to learn more.

Hostiles

Auntie Shu Boys Gang

Location

Gang hideout, alley and backyard two blocks east of Lombard Street, San Francisco.

After discussing the merits of pissing off gang members to your DedSec crew, it’s decided you need to hack one of the Auntie Shu gang member’s cell phones to find out more. Drive to one of their hideouts, near Lombard Street.

Infiltration Points

South Entrance Alley:

This allows quick access and a fence to hide behind. It’s also an easy way to neutralize the dog, which is on the upper deck area near Victor.

Foo Dog Alley (West): Note the red paving at the entrance to this alley, which leads you around to the upper deck where Victor is. There’s a guard patrolling and cameras to cycle through, but it’s not the easiest way to access all enemies if you’re out to nullify guards.

POIs and Objective Points

Victor Cheung

Victor is sitting on the upper deck in the courtyard, next to a collectible and ferocious guard dog.

Paths to Completion

The restricted area to infiltrate is tight, and the Auntie Shus can easily call reinforcements. So a trickster plan is your best bet here, unless you really want that collectible sitting next to your hacking target.

Defenses Seen Through

It’s a simple enough plan: cycle through the cameras until you get a visible conformation of Victor, and hack him.

Some Takedowns to Do

Enter via IP1 and step behind the fence. Tase the dog, then each guard as they come to investigate. Check for any wayward phone calls and slap the phone out of the concerned citizen’s hands. Finish by dropping Victor with a tase. Then gather the collectible he’s sitting next to, before hacking him.

An Airborne Review

The RC drone is easy to fly in, hack Victor, and fly out again. Or you can wait at Foo Dog Alley, send in your RC Jumper, leap on the hedge near Victor, and hack him before retreating.

Bidding Adieu to Auntie Shu

Angering the Auntie Shus is easy enough, but the tight fighting quarters makes this plan dangerous. Remember there are a number of explosive objects to hack to help drop foes around corners.
