Been waiting for another opportunity to play Watch Dogs 2 again? Ubisoft have brought the second of their post-launch content packs to the PlayStation 4, which contains three new DedSec operations, a new enemy archetype and new elite co-op challenges. titled Watch Dogs 2: Human Conditions, this pack can now be downloaded standalone for $22.95 AUD, or as part of a season pass which is currently available for $59.95 AUD.
With this pack containing approximately five hours of new content and challenges (according to Ubisoft), the main weight of this pack would be the DedSec operations in my mind. Accurate to the pack’s title, this is set to focus on some of the game’s “most outrageous scientific and technological storylines”. These include:
Automata revolves around Nudle’s new smart car, the CyruX, which uses biometric data both as a security measure and to adapt itself to the driver. But is that really all it does with a user’s personal information? DedSec sees the potential for abuse right away and sets out to expose it.
Bad Medicine follows the trail of a dangerous ransomware that has crippled the city’s hospitals; as Marcus and his crew dig deeper to stop this menace, they will cross paths with deadly hitman Jordi Chin and form an unlikely alliance against the Russian mafia.
Caustic Progress unveils a strange new company called RenSense that is experimenting with dangerous nanotech on the Bay Area’s homeless. It has caught the attention of bio-hacker Lenni, who claims that their mobile clinics for the homeless hide very troubling human experiments. With her help, DedSec sets out to stop this madness.
This new pack won’t see you just going up against similar enemy types. Watch Dogs 2: Human Conditions also introduces a new enemy known as the Hammer. This opponent carries an anti-hacking device which disables all hacking options in a radius around them. Therefore, you must factor this into your battle strategy – and decide whether to find a way to disable the jammer or even go into battle without your technological capabilities.
Watch Dogs 2: Human Conditions also introduces new Elite Co-Op challenges, which Ubisoft claims comes with “advanced challenges to test players’ stealth and combat skills”.
