Can You Get Another Spy in Watch Dogs: Legion?

Yes, absolutely! In Watch Dogs: Legion, you are not limited to just one spy. You can recruit multiple spies throughout your playthrough to bolster your DedSec team. In fact, diversifying your team with a range of operative types, including spies, is a key strategy for success in this game. Let’s delve into how you can get more spies and what makes them so valuable in your fight to liberate London.

Recruiting Spies in Watch Dogs: Legion

There are two primary methods for recruiting spies in Watch Dogs: Legion:

Method 1: Defying Westminster

One of the most consistent ways to encounter and recruit spies is by making the Westminster borough defiant. As you progress through the game and complete various missions to liberate different boroughs, some boroughs are more likely to attract certain operative types. By focusing on liberating Westminster, you significantly increase your chances of encountering and recruiting a spy. Once the borough is in a state of defiance, the likelihood of finding spies roaming the streets or hanging around notable locations drastically increases.

Method 2: Exploring the City

The second method is more general but equally valid: simply explore the city. Spies, like other skilled operatives, can spawn randomly throughout London. This means that while there’s no specific guarantee of finding one in a particular location, actively venturing into different areas can lead to the discovery of a spy ready for recruitment. Some players have noted specific areas where spies tend to spawn more frequently, such as the alley near the MI6 building in Lambeth.

Why Spies Are Valuable

Spies are highly sought-after recruits in Watch Dogs: Legion due to their unique set of abilities and perks. Spies typically come equipped with:

• Silenced Pistols: These allow for stealthy takedowns and engagements.
• Spy Cars: Often equipped with cloaking abilities, making for stealthy getaways or infiltrations.
• Disruption Technology: They can disrupt electronic equipment, which is essential for bypassing security systems and disabling enemy tech.

These abilities are invaluable in many mission types, especially those that require stealth, infiltration, or quick escapes. Having multiple spies on your team ensures that you can always deploy a specialist when the situation calls for one.

Beyond Spies: Diversifying Your Roster

While spies are a vital asset, remember that Watch Dogs: Legion allows you to recruit from a huge pool of characters – literally over 9 million NPCs. Each character comes with their own set of skills, perks, and backstories. Diversifying your team can help you handle diverse situations in the game. Here are a few additional recruit types to keep an eye out for:

• Construction Workers: Their cargo drone is perfect for exploration and reaching high locations.
• Lawyers: They can reduce the time your operatives spend in jail.
• Albion Employees: They allow for infiltration in restricted areas.
• Clan Kelley Members: They can blend into Clan Kelley territory, assisting with hostile missions.
• Medics: Essential for faster recovery times and great if you play without permadeath enabled.
• Hitmen: Highly skilled operatives capable of dealing high damage, and especially useful in aggressive situations.

The End Game: Continuing the Fight

Even after completing the main story campaign, you can still continue to recruit new operatives, including spies. This allows you to experiment with different team compositions and enjoy the vast world of London. You can also take part in other post-game activities:

• QR Code Hunting: Track down hidden QR codes to unlock additional lore and secrets.
• Trying Different Approaches: Revisit old missions using different operatives and strategies.
• Mask Collection: Find all of the hidden masks around the city.
• Easter Egg Hunts: Explore to find various Easter eggs and hidden references.
• PvP Modes: Compete against other players in online multiplayer modes.
• Co-Op Mode: Team up with friends to take on challenges together.
• Permadeath Mode: Test your skills with the added challenge of permadeath.

Conclusion

So, to reiterate, yes, you can absolutely recruit more than one spy in Watch Dogs: Legion. In fact, doing so is a critical part of building a successful DedSec team. By liberating Westminster and actively exploring the city, you’ll find numerous opportunities to recruit skilled spies. Remember to diversify your team with other valuable recruits to give you a strategic edge in this immersive and engaging game.
