Introduction:
Welcome to DedSec lads and lasses. The third game in the Watch Dogs series takes place in London this time, and let you play with any hero you want so feel free to recruit anyone and build your best team to counter the cyber-terrorism or something like that.
The trophies are all pretty straightforward and easy, only a few of them will be a bit luck-based as you'll need to find a Video Game Designer, a Living Statue and someone with a Paintball Gun, and they don't have fixed locations. Other than that there's nothing to really worry about.
You'll have story missions to finish, a few side missions and some side activities. And collectibles, a lot of collectibles. Also you'll need to spend 100 000 ETO on clothes, and you will barely earn 100k over the game so MAKE SURE TO NOT SPEND MONEY ON USELESS STUFF. You've been warned.
Walkthrough:
/! Warning: The game tends to crash a lot, while I never had this issue, you might even get your save corrupted so you might want to back up your save here and there to be safe.
Check this thread for more info and a workaround:
There's currently a bug going around that if you crash (depending on how lucky you are). Your save will become corrupted and you will remain on the game loading screen infinite before you load into the map.
There is a way round this by starting a new save, not overwriting your old one, and loading it back up again. In doing this, you keep your progress.
However, also in doing this. You lose your operatives and become a scuffed robotic Dalton.
Step 1: Story Missions
After completing the first mission, you'll soon have to pick your first operative. The list of Operatives is random and will be different for everyone. It doesn’t matter who you pick, but you might want to pick an operative with good weapons/upgrades, to give you a good start. Also, if you have the possibility to pick a Video Game Designer, a Living Statue or someone with a Paintball Gun, then by all means choose them, it will help with a few trophies later. You can also look at them while doing the story, without going out of your way yet. Also whatever you do, DON'T SPEND ANY MONEY YET, you'll need every last ETO later to buy clothes.
Keep following the story missions, they start automatically one after the other and it's all pretty linear so you won't have much trouble. At some point you'll need to choose between 2 different storylines, it doesn't matter which one you start with. Also the choice at the end of some chapters doesn't matter for the trophies.
Make sure to accept side missions when you see them, you don't need to do them now but some people will give you multiple missions and you'll need to talk to them to access them, so make sure to always do that so you have everything ready for the next part.
Feel free to use any kind of operative you want. You don't need to go out of your way to recruit anyone as all missions can be completed with any operative, except for certain missions where the game will lead you to new operatives automatically. Same for the Tech gadgets, you don't need any of them, so feel free to play as you want.
It will take you around 10-12 hours to finish the story.
During this step, you'll unlock:








Step 2: Side Missions + turning all boroughs into Defiant
After the story, you'll have a few side missions to do, you don't have to do all of them though so make sure to look at the guide to know which ones.
Also go and complete all the Red Icon missions shown on the map to turn all Boroughs into Defiant state if you haven't done that over the course of the story. You will earn some useful new operatives for the clean-up part.
During this step, you'll unlock:






Step 3: Miscellaneous + Collectibles
Lastly, do all other side activities and collectibles such as Kick-up, Paste-Up, Drink and Darts. Make sure to follow the collectibles guide as these one won't be tracked and won't appear on your map unless you're close to them. You'll then need to look for Audio Logs, Relics and Tech Points but those ones will be shown on your map so it shouldn't be a problem.
After that, do all of the other miscellaneous trophies and you should be really close to getting 100 000 ETO. Some ETO safes will be shown on the map so go pick them up if you need to, then finally spend all your hard earned money on clothes.
During this step, you'll unlock:
