Gang Hideout Mission Walkthrough for Watch Dogs

Completing this Watch Dogs side mission will earn you the Basest Base achievement and take you another step towards that 100% completion of Ubisoft’s hacking shooter game.

After you reach a Gang Hideout location in Watch Dogs, one of the first things you should do is hack a ctOS security camera and flick through all available cameras in order to tag your enemies and target(s). While you’re searching the area, you can use the cameras to take out some guards. However most of the Gang Hideout targets flee, which you really want to avoid. Otherwise you’ll have to chase the targets while their guards do everything they can to stop you.

The Gang Hideout locations will appear to you in a randomized order through the Watch Dogs world map. If you struggle to find the last of the Gang Hideouts, whichever ones they are, you will need to profile and hack civilians and look for those with the Gang Hideout icon.

Brandon Docks
Gone in a Flash – 1 veteran target who CAN flee

This Gang Hideout location would provide a great area for ‘Hide and Seek’ or “Hard Target” as mentioned in our Watch Dogs Free Roam Multiplayer article. There is a thick row of containers, an open road with railway track followed by more containers and finally a row of cranes to play with. Despite all of that, it’s fairly easy to navigate once you’ve hacked cameras and tagged enemies. You may have trouble pinning the north side, so approach that with caution and profile everyone as you go. The target is in the north area, of course, by a pole on the ground floor. He will flee at the first hint of gunfire, so refrain from shooting if you can. To start the intrusion you want to head to the stairs in the southeast. The height here will give you a great advantage for picking off guards. Once you’re ready to return to the ground floor, make your way across the location via the shadows cast by containers and hone in on your target.

Packing – 1 veteran target who CAN flee

As a relatively restricted zone, you ought to search the perimeter of this Gang Hideout for exit routes in case you need to get out fast. Head round to the southeastern wall of the complex and you’ll spot a camera up high to the north. Hack the camera and jump to others to study the area, your enemies and your target. Once you’re sure of the environment and have finished tagging people, make your way to the eastern entrance. From there, go and take cover by the wood stacks in the open depot, taking out guards as you go. You’ll need to return to the east entrance area next, but don’t open the garage door as that will expose you to more guards. Heading through the northeast doorway to the warehouse, hide by the pipe stack then sneak under the target and complete the mission.

Port Authority – 1 veteran target who CAN flee

Approaching the Gang Hideout from the southwest, you should be able to remain outside the mission zone and hack a camera to flick through others and tag all of the guards, as well as your target on the second floor. Once you’ve identified everyone, it is simply a case of taking out the guards as you may your way to the target. When you’re getting close to the target, take a stealthy cover-to-cover approach to avoid triggering a chase.

 

The Loop
No Parking – 1 veteran target who CAN flee

Begin taking down this Gang Hideout by taking the scissor lift in the car park up to the first round of foes and deal with them accordingly. Don’t forget where you parked the lift because it’ll be very useful if your target does flee with a vehicle. Hop out of the lift and take cover, from here you should be able to hack a camera and flick round others to identify and mark all foes. Make your way across the area, taking out guards as you go, and head to the stairwell. You can sidestep to the middle floor and deal with the guards there, or make your way to the upper floor and go straight to the target and their personal guards.

Street Cleaning – 1 veteran target who CAN flee

There are many places to start this Watch Dogs mission from, but the best is from the car park north of the alley area. Head into the car park and use the forklift to approach the sniper here. Take care of the sniper, and then use their spot to work your way through the other guards. Remember the target will happily flock to their vehicle and flee, so continue carefully. Return to the ground and head to the L-shaped alley. There are many things for you to hide behind here, a fence, the vans or the pallets, pick one then take your chance to remove the target and complete the mission.

Two For One – 2 veteran targets who do NOT flee

It may be the only Gang Hideout in this list with two targets, but the Two For One mission targets don’t flee so you can throw caution, and stealth, to the wind. When standing in the plaza, ready to go in, you will see various planters on the opposite side to the lift, by the ‘36’ sign. Climb up the planters to reach the rooftop and one side of the enemy guards. You’ll probably want to take care of the immediate threats here, but after that you should hack the camera to the south of your location and mark all guards and targets in the Gang Hideout. There is a sniper up on the highest level in this location, on your way up to them you should come across your first target and remove them. Having dealt with the sniper, face north and drop down the ladder to the level with a cluster of trees in the centre. Your next step is to approach the guards by the solar panels, which is done easiest by taking out the foes one at a time. To finally get your second target and complete this mission, return to the space above the low roof and do what needs to be done.

 

Mad Mile
The Low Road – 1 veteran target who CAN flee

Enter the restricted Gang Hideout area by climbing up pallets to a shipping container in the south. You should be able to hack near cameras from here and mark all of the foes in the area. Take out the guard closest to you, then wait for others to come over and investigate and remove them too. Afterwards, head around the area in a counterclockwise direction to eventually find yourself behind the target. Complete the mission then leave, in whichever style you like.

The Tower – 1 veteran target who CAN flee

With just a single entrance point to this Gang Hideout, things could get a little tricky. Hop into the construction lift outside the 5-floor car park and take it up to the second floor of the structure. You’ll then have to walk up to the third floor, where the action begins. Find yourself a hiding place then tag all enemies with the nearby cameras. The target is up on the fifth floor, meaning that violence isn’t such a concern down where you are. Once the area is clear, make your way up to the forth floor and take out the guards here too. If you can, distract the guards instead of killing them and speed towards the blue lift that takes you up to the final floor. The van you see on the fifth floor is the target’s escape vehicle, if it comes to that, but try to take him out first.
