Location of QR Codes

special mission– Mission available after scanning all QR Codes.

The red markings on the map above point you to the locations where you can find a QR code, whereas the green ones mark the spots, where there are cameras that you need to use to scan the code.

There are many QR codes in the city, on building walls and the other objects. Each one is a challenge, whose completing unlocks an additional mission connected with the DedSec hacker group. The locations are marked on the map after you unlock the ctOS towers for a given region (apart from one, located in the Pawnee district). On the map, there are 17 codes, where the 17th becomes available after you have scanned the remaining 16. Then, you get a phone call, after which the location of the extra mission becomes available on the map. Each code also adds a special audiolog to your collection. Scanning all of the codes and completing the extra mission is required to complete the game in 100%.

An example QR code

The QR codes marked on the map, in a given area, are distributed among several objects. You need to find the exact spot, from which, after you look in the direction of the code, you will see the whole, in the form of the full square. Here, there is always a camera which you need to use to scan the code, after you hack into it. For each code, there is only one, exclusive camera, which will scan the code correctly - you will then see a red rhomb displayed on the screen that informs you of the option to scan the code. Below, you can find a list of all of the QR codes, along with their descriptions, which point you to the correct camera and the image that shows, which signifies that the scan is ready to be performed.

Someone possibly a member of DedSec!? has hidden parts of QR codes all over the city of Chicago, we need to collect all 16 parts of this code to unlock the special task. Each part of the QR code will store an audio file from which we can learn new details in the investigation.

Brandon Docks area

1. On the other side across the river we find a building with a camera, connect to the camera, turn it to the left to the building with the code and crack the code on the building.

2. The code is on the wall on the building, behind the boats. on the opposite side, hack the camera, turn it to the right and connect to the camera a little further away from it and you can crack the code.

3. We go to the pedestrian viaduct There we connect to the camera on the corner of a small building below it. This camera will show the code at the factory.

Area Words

1. On the boat we swim to the closed gate to the second span, and there we find the camera on the corner. It will be opposite the QR code. Let's activate it.

2. We get up near the building next to the building with our code. Across the road, we connect to the camera in the weapons store from it to the opposite tall building and activate the code through the top of the roof.

Area Parker Square

1. Here everything is just facing the code, behind us there will be a camera directly opposite it, we connect to it and listen to the audio recording.

2. We run into the alley that is opposite the code, there will be a camera on the left, we connect to it, the code will be visible through the top of the building, we listen to another audio recording.

Area Loop

1. We get up one building from the building with the train route code on the corner of the house there will be a camera, connect to it and crack the next code.

2. On the opposite bank from the code under the bridge, connect to the camera on the bridge support and crack another QR code.

3. On the opposite side of the code through the iron tracks of the train there will be a camera on the building, we connect to it, from there you can find another code.

4. We run into the lane between the houses, we find the camera on the wall and the code will be visible from it.

Pawnee area

1. We climb to the construction site, there will be cameras on the poles, first we connect to the camera of one pole and then to another camera opposite the sign, from there the code will be visible.

District Mad Mile

1. We get up near the building diagonally in the screenshot it is shown we are connected to the camera from there the code is visible.

2. On the opposite side of the highway in the center of the house, we find a surveillance camera, connect to it and see a QR code from it.

3. We get up across the road from the code on the right, connect to the camera, turn it to the left and connect to another camera, the code will be visible from it.

After we find all the codes, the dude from DedSec will call us on the phone. We leave for the Mad Mile area to the place that he indicates to complete the task. Behind the building we break open a difficult shield. The shield is complicated, but I think you can handle it yourself. After hacking, we look through the camera at the hacker and fill in the DedSec virus.

There are a total of 16 QR Code Locations and 1 QR Code Investigation Mission in Watch Dogs.
Finding all QR Codes will unlock the mission and completing the mission will earn you the Read-only Trophy / Achievement. You will also get a new weapon (Tommy Gun) as a reward. To reveal the code locations on your map you must unlock all ctOS towers. The displayed locations aren’t very accurate though and you must find one specific surveillance camera and look at the QR Code from a certain angle. The correct camera is sometimes far away, or can only be activated from an elevated position.

All Codes are saved automatically when you find them. None of them are missable and you can still get them in free roam after beating the story. They are also a requirement for the “They Call Him The Vigilante” Trophy and Achievement.

Hi all

End of the road

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

This achievement requires you to complete 40 Eliminator Contracts. On the map, they are displayed as a steering wheel. Contracts are varied: from chasing cops at control points to shadowing and neutralizing the car.

Scarecrow

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to clear 15 bandit dens. On the map, they are displayed as a fist. The catch is that the right person needs to be stunned melee. So it's either stealth or firefight in the heat of which you stun the right target and knock it down, or finish off the remaining enemies. The target will sometimes get into the car and try to escape, so you are forewarned, which means you are armed.

peephole

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to complete 30 invasions of privacy. On the map, they are displayed as a peephole. To make an invasion of privacy, you need to go through a mini-game with schemes, after which we will see a view from the camera where we can see what is happening, for example, a woman taking a picture against the background of a car or a quarrel between a wife and her husband.

Fighter

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to catch 20 criminals using the Crime Detector. On the map, they are displayed as a figure. Come to the crime scene and watch the victim and the perpetrator. As soon as the game advises us to intervene, we run to the criminal and detain him.

Scrap metal

To get this achievement, you need to disable 10 machines. Brute force or traps (valves, barriers) against enemies and the achievement is yours. Get as the game progresses.

Communication error

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to interrupt 10 calls to the police without killing anyone. You can simply point the gun at the target and he will drop the tube or catch up and take away the tube or use a jammer. The choice is yours.

Bookmarks

To get this achievement, you need to mark 100 targets. We use cameras or a ctOS scanner. Get as the game progresses.

gambling addiction

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to participate in 5 different mini-games. We play poker or chess, place bets in a slot machine, “kill ourselves” with digital high games or run after coins, and then have a drink in a bar. As a result, you will get this achievement.

magic smoke

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to kill 4 enemies without breaking your concentration. This is done easily at level 2 of pumped concentration. It is best to gather a bunch of enemies and have them in an open space, get a more powerful gun, press and shoot at their heads. One way or another, after several tries, you will unlock this achievement. Video for clarity:

free radical

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to escape from the level 5 police. If you want to get this achievement, then it is better to pump the character completely (hacks and cars). Getting the attention of the police. For example, we aim a gun at a civilian or just shoot in the air until one of the civilians calls the police. The police use a scanner. We stay in place and let ourselves be calculated.

In pursuit, we create chaos and death, destroy more policemen and cars. Having reached level 5 (it is better to be on a fast and strong car), we run away from the police using barriers, bridges and traffic lights. It is better to hack the helicopter right away so that the sniper on it does not shoot at you and does not interfere.

If the police are behind you - squeeze the gas pedal all the way and hide or hide in the garage (if there is one nearby).

Object "White Rabbit"

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

You need to avoid detection by police scanners 15 times. See "Invisible" for more information.

Invisible

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to escape from the level 5 police scanner. Make sure you have an assault rifle, a fast car, and some signal jammers. Convinced? Start killing civilians, blowing up cars, generally causing havoc on the streets of Chicago and look at the gray bar around the mini-map. It needs to reach 5 values. Try to kill people who are trying to call the police, otherwise you will have to run away from the scanner of the level that you have achieved, but we do not need this.

Once you reach level 5 of the scanner, get into the fast car that you prepared in advance and have one of the civilians call the police. If the call is successful, the police will launch a scanner. The longer you stay in the scanner, the faster you will be detected. Try to leave the scanner's search circle. If you are almost spotted then use the jammer. If you are spotted, then die and repeat again.

Hardware failure

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to shoot through 15 car tires. We take and shoot tires from a moving car. Easy achievement.

Explosive hat trick

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to kill 3 enemies with one IED. Easily done on the police. We are waiting for them to be called, before that, having done a good job in the city. They gather in a heap in front of us, and we throw an IED and then blow it up, getting an achievement.

Saturday show

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

You need to complete the last task from the investigation "Arms Trade". On the map, these tasks will be displayed as a crosshair. On the spot, you need to open the door before breaking the shield. Just follow the wires and hack the shield. On the spot, scan open boxes and audio recordings and so on 9 times. After that, we go to the final mission and ambush the convoy in which we kill multiple targets arriving at the place.

Sanity check

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to collect 8 disposable phones. After Morris, 8 phones remained. We collect them on a label in the form of a trident. Don't forget to listen to them. There Morris pours out his soul, talks about his career as a killer, how he tried to quit and how he tried to kill Pierce (us).

Only for reading

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

Tongue untied

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you need to outdrink 3 opponents at level 10. In general, the achievement is difficult. There are three drunks in the game and each one sits in his own bar. The most difficult drunk is in the village. There are 10 levels for one drunk. We press the necessary buttons on the screen to overdrink everyone. While you get this achievement, you can sleep yourself.

hacking

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you must successfully complete the Network Hacking quest (online) 10 times. This mode will open in the middle of Act 1. Using a smartphone, select the "Network Hacking" mode. In a certain circle on the map, you need to be and continue hacking. At 25%, this circle will decrease, which complicates the task. You also need not to catch the eye of the enemy, otherwise you will have to dump or die. Depends on the abilities of your network opponent. The best place to break into a rooftop or subway. That is, it is located above or below the enemy. This will make it harder for him to track you down.

On the tail

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you must successfully complete the "Network Surveillance" quest (online) 10 times. The same as "Network Hacking". Stay out of sight and scan. If you catch the eye, the target will kill you or try to kill you.

Motorway

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

To get this achievement, you must successfully complete the "Online Racing" quest 10 times (online). Use your smartphone to find a race and wait your turn. The problem with getting this achievement, like the two above, is that the host can freak out and exit the game and you won't get any points, which means you just wasted 10 minutes of your life. Start this task and hope for an adequate host.

Sysadmin

Watch Dogs Achievement Guide

This achievement requires you to hack all 16 ctOS items. On the map, these tasks are displayed as a white square and an up arrow. For hacking, you need to find and damage 4 shields in a certain time.
