sports_esports Gameplay & Mechanics
Companions/Followers
  • Underboss Associates: While the game is single-player, Lincoln can use a radio to call upon associates provided by his underbosses. This can include a 'Consigliere' to collect his money, a 'gun van' to buy weapons, or a squad of heavily armed enforcers to provide temporary backup in a firefight.
    Human (AI)
  • DedSec Operatives (Player Controlled): The core gameplay revolves around switching between recruited DedSec operatives. While not AI companions in the traditional sense, the player effectively has a team. In online co-op, other players' operatives act as companions.
    Human (Various)
  • Spider-Bot (Infiltrator/Combat): A deployable gadget that can be remotely controlled to infiltrate areas, perform stealth takedowns, hack terminals, and (if upgraded to combat variant) engage enemies. Essential for reconnaissance and accessing small vents.
    Robot (Small Drone)
  • Drones (CT-Drone, Cargo Drone, News Drone, Riot Drone - Hackable/Summonable): Various drones populate London. DedSec can hack them to use for surveillance, distraction, or combat (e.g., turning an Albion CT-Drone against its owners). Certain operatives (like Construction Worker) can summon specific drones (Cargo Drone for riding/transport).
    Robot (Aerial Drone)
  • Bagley (AI): Serves as DedSec's mission handler and tech support, providing intel, sarcastic commentary, and coordinating operations. Not a physical companion but a constant presence via comms.
    Artificial Intelligence
Key Collectibles
  • Playboy Magazines: Authentic Playboy magazines from the era, featuring vintage articles and pinups, are hidden throughout the world.
  • Vargas Paintings: Classic pin-up paintings by artist Alberto Vargas are scattered across New Bordeaux for players to find.
  • Junction Boxes: Tapping into these electrical boxes reveals the locations of all collectibles and points of interest in a specific area of the map.
  • Tech Points: Found throughout London in restricted areas, on rooftops, or as mission rewards. Used to upgrade DedSec's universal tech gadgets (e.g., Spider-Bot abilities, AR Cloak duration) and hacking skills.
  • Audio Logs & Text Files (Data): Found on computers, phones, and data pads across the city. Provide lore about the world, characters, factions (Albion, Clan Kelley, DedSec, Zero-Day), and insight into the dystopian state of London.
  • Masks: Hidden in distinctive parcel boxes throughout London, often requiring parkour or puzzle-solving to reach. Unlocks cosmetic masks for operatives to wear.
  • ETO Caches (In-game Currency): Small stashes of ETO (the in-game currency) hidden in various locations, often in safes or less accessible areas.
  • Relics (Drink, Darts, Paste-Up locations for Borough Uprising): Activities required to complete borough uprisings, such as playing darts in a pub, drinking at a specific bar, or putting up DedSec propaganda posters. Not traditional collectibles but contribute to area liberation.

Weapons Overview
  • Pistols & Revolvers: Sidearms
    A variety of handguns, including the M1911 and silenced pistols, perfect for stealth or as a reliable backup.
  • Shotguns: Close-Quarters
    Powerful pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns that are devastating in close-quarters combat.
  • Rifles & SMGs: Automatic Weapons
    The workhorses of combat, including military-grade rifles like the M16 and high fire-rate submachine guns.
  • Explosives & Heavy Weapons: Heavy Ordinance
    Includes grenades, C4, and powerful weapons like grenade launchers for dealing with groups of enemies and vehicles.
  • Combat Knife: Melee Weapon
    Lincoln's signature weapon, used for brutal and efficient stealth takedowns and visceral melee finishers.
  • Lethal Firearms (Pistols, SMGs, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, LMGs, Grenade Launchers): Conventional Ballistic & Explosive
    A wide variety of standard firearms. Each operative class or specific recruit might have a preference or unique access to certain types (e.g., Spies get silenced pistols, Hitmen get Desert Eagles). Some weapons are DedSec issue, others are Albion or Clan Kelley specific.
  • Non-Lethal Weapons (Shock Weapons): Stun/Disruptive
    Weapons designed to incapacitate rather than kill, such as shock pistols, shock shotguns, and shock SMGs. Useful for players wanting a less lethal playthrough or for recruiting operatives who might be injured by lethal force.
  • DedSec Unique Weapons (e.g., LTL 68P DedSec SMG, DedSec Grenade Launcher): Faction Specific
    Special DedSec-themed versions of weapons, often with non-lethal variants or unique properties, unlocked through tech upgrades or as operative perks.
  • Melee Weapons (Batons, Wrenches, Fists): Close Quarters Combat
    Operatives can engage in melee combat. Some operatives are more proficient or have unique melee weapons/takedowns (e.g., Bare Knuckle Fighter, Construction Worker with Sledgehammer/Wrench).
  • Gadgets (Spider-Bot, AR Cloak, Electro-Fist, Missile Drone, etc.): Tactical/Hacking/Utility
    A wide array of deployable gadgets unlocked via Tech Points. These include various types of Spider-Bots (Infiltrator, Combat), an augmented reality cloak for temporary invisibility, shock traps, electro-fist for powerful melee, and more. Operatives can equip two gadgets.
  • Operative-Specific Weapons/Abilities (e.g., Spy Watch, Nail Gun, Berserker's Shockwave): Unique Character Perk
    Many operative archetypes come with unique inherent weapons or special abilities that cannot be unequipped or changed (e.g., Spy's silenced pistol & car, Construction Worker's nail gun, Anarchist's smoke grenade).
Armor / Gear Sets
  • Body Armor: Players can pick up body armor from fallen enemies or call in a supply drop. It provides an additional layer of health that absorbs damage before Lincoln's main health pool is affected.
  • Operative Traits (e.g., 'Tough Drunk', 'Physically Fit'): Individual operatives may possess traits that grant them inherent damage resistance or increased health (e.g., 'Tough Drunk' takes less damage while intoxicated, 'Physically Fit' might have more health). This is not traditional armor but contributes to survivability.
  • Gadgets (e.g., Riot Shield Drone - Hypothetical/Similar to existing tech): While no direct wearable armor is equipped, certain gadgets or operative abilities might provide temporary defensive bonuses or shields (e.g., a construction worker's cargo drone could be used as cover, or a specialized drone might project a temporary shield).
  • Clothing (Cosmetic): Clothing choices are primarily cosmetic and do not offer direct armor or damage reduction values. Operatives might appear more 'armored' based on their profession (e.g., an Albion soldier recruit), but this is visual.
Outfits/Customization
  • Outfits: Players can change Lincoln's outfit at any of their safehouses. A wide variety of outfits are available, from military gear and formal suits to casual 1960s attire. Outfits are purely cosmetic.
  • Tops, Bottoms, Outerwear, Headwear, Eyewear, Masks, Gloves, Footwear: Extensive clothing customization for each operative. Players can purchase a wide variety of items from numerous clothing shops scattered around London, reflecting diverse London street styles, subcultures, and professional attire. Items include jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, trousers, skirts, shoes, hats, glasses, etc. Masks are a key cosmetic, with many unique designs to find or buy.
  • Full Outfits: Some pre-set outfits are available, often tied to specific operative archetypes (e.g., Albion uniform for an Albion recruit, construction gear for a worker) or purchasable as cosmetic sets.
  • Weapon Skins & Vehicle Skins: Players can apply various skins and paint jobs to their DedSec weapons and owned vehicles for further personalization. Unlocked through progression, challenges, or store purchases.
trending_up Progression & Upgrades
