Act 1: Bottom of the Eighth

Follow this Watch Dogs 2 walkthrough to successfully complete Act 1: Bottom of the Eighth, including stealth and aggressive routes, and essential hacking tips.

Alright, let's dive into Act 1: Bottom of the Eighth in Watch Dogs 2. This mission is basically your tutorial, easing you into the game's mechanics after that whole ordeal with Maurice. Think of it as getting your bearings before things really kick off.

Walkthrough:

1. First up, you've just dealt with Maurice. The game will prompt you to pull out your gun and fire at him. Don't worry too much if you mess up the Quick Time Event (QTE) that follows; the game's pretty forgiving here. We're not going full psycho, but we're not done with him yet.
2. Before you move on to hacking his phone, take a good look around the room. You'll notice highlighted objects scattered around. These are your Crafting components. Keep an eye out for them as you explore; they're super useful later on.
3. You can also hack the soda machine for a little boost and check out what info you can pull from Maurice's phone. Then, target his phone and hold down the Hack button to get the objective done.
4. After that, you'll exit the room and head down a hall for a scene where you meet up with Jordi Chin.
5. Now, you need to get through some tunnels without the cops spotting you. You've got two paths: the passive (stealthy) route or the aggressive (distraction and takedown) route.
6. Stealth Route: Head down the hall, take the eastern path (away from the soda machines), and wait by the pallet. Once the coast is clear, make your way up the ramp to avoid the guards entirely.
7. Aggressive Route: From the office with the supplies, you'll see a pitching machine. When a guard is near it, hack the machine to distract him. This lets you sneak up and take him down quietly. Then, approach the van near the second guard from the right side. You'll see a phone on the metal grates behind him. Hack this phone to distract the guard with a weird dog bark sound, allowing you to sneak up and take him down.
8. No matter which route you chose, you'll hit a dead end. You need to go over the dumpster and railing. The double doors are locked, but Aiden can handle it. Hack the camera near the door, then hop between cameras until you find one overlooking the two guards and the control switch. Hack the switch to unlock the doors and head through.
9. In the lower court, you'll automatically take cover. Grab the Electronic Parts from the table. Open your Weapon Wheel, select
