Big Brother

Follow our step-by-step guide to successfully complete the Big Brother mission in Watch Dogs, including chase strategies and hacking tips.

Shortly after finishing the previous mission, you'll get a call from your sister Nicky, reminding you about an important event. Then, Jordi calls. Check your map and head to the waypoint north to kick off this mission.

After a brief cutscene, enter the gated community and go to Nicky’s backyard for a heartwarming reunion. Afterwards, head inside the house. Explore the rooms for any items, and you can even hack a funny toy in Jackson’s room. Nicky then gets into a heated phone call, and Aiden decides to listen in. Hack her phone to complete the next objective and trigger a scene.

After figuring out the culprit’s location, grab the car right outside Nicky’s house and start the chase.

Cunning Route - Crash by Hacking

If you've picked up any hacking skills that let you mess with the environment, you can end this chase quickly. Hack the traffic lights to slow him down, or trigger blockers to force his car to crash. This is a super effective way to end the car chase, and then you can pursue him on foot.

Defensive Route - Follow the Culprit

Instead of going on the offensive, just follow the culprit at a safe distance without causing too much damage to his car. Eventually, the guy will ditch his vehicle, and you'll have to chase him on foot.

Offensive Route - Make a Scene

Go all out and ram his car during the chase. This usually results in the culprit's car crashing and becoming undrivable. Sometimes, you might crash too, forcing you to find a new car and continue the chase. You might lose him or only catch up when he ditches his car.

Once the guy is on foot, you can chase him down and take him out with a melee attack.
