Robbing from Stores in Watch Dogs

Aiden must have missed the phrase ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’ because when it comes to crime, he does both. While taking down Chicago’s faction members in Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs, Aiden commits his own share of crimes. One of the illegal acts you can do as Aiden, besides killing people, is to steal from businesses in the game. Many different shops come under the businesses category, but the most common shops thefts take place in are clothing stores, as they’re called in Watch Dogs. You may want to rob from shops for various goodies: the extra money, the increase in Heat level or just for laughs. In any case, the following wiki will explain exactly how you can become richer by stealing from shops in Watch Dogs.

The first task is to select your chosen shop on the world map and follow the highlighted path to reach it. Preferably choose a Watch Dogs business with a train station or garages nearby, that’ll be important later. Once you’ve arrived at the shop, go in as per usual. Now instead of selecting something to buy as the shoppers do, you should select the threaten option from the shop menu. Aiden will then point his gun at the shop assistant, scaring them to death…Not literally of course, you’ll have to shoot the gun if you really want to kill the shop attendant. Once the shop assistant is either cowering in fear or unconscious, select the steal option to raid the till and carry out the robbery.

Remember the train station or garages? Now is when you’ll need them. The police will probably be on their way to the shop you stole from and you want to be well away before they arrive. When you perform a store robbery either the shop assistant or nearby civilian will alert the police to your behavior and if you have any substantial Heat level, they’ll be on your tail in moments. Thus, escape the shop as soon as you’ve taken the money and get away. Having an L-train station nearby is advantageous for getting distance between you and the police fast. If you didn’t follow that instruction steal a car and outdrive the police, choose the best with our list of Watch Dogs Vehicles. or you could hide in a nearby garage until the danger has passed. How you evade the police is up to you, but it is essential when robbing shops.
