sports_esports Gameplay & Mechanics
Companions/Followers
  • 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
  • Hurk Drubman Jr. (Co-op Player): In two-player online co-op, the second player controls Hurk. Hurk has access to the same weapons and abilities as Ajay (based on the co-op player's own progression in their game if they are hosting, or a preset if joining). Co-op allows for tactical teamwork, reviving each other, and combined firepower against enemies.
    Human
  • Temporary AI Allies (Mission Specific): During certain missions, outpost attacks, or Karma events, Golden Path rebels will fight alongside Ajay. Their effectiveness varies, but they can provide covering fire and distract enemies. They are not persistent, controllable companions like in later Far Cry titles.
    Human (Golden Path Rebels)
  • Rideable Elephants: While not a 'companion' in the traditional sense, Ajay can ride elephants. Elephants can charge through barricades, trample enemies, and swing their trunks to attack. They are powerful, albeit temporary, allies in combat situations.
    Asian Elephant
  • Shangri-La Tiger: During the Shangri-La missions, Ajay (as Kalinag) is accompanied by a mystical white tiger. The player can direct the tiger to attack specific enemies. The tiger is essential for combat and puzzle-solving within these sequences.
    Mystical Tiger
Key Collectibles
  • 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.
  • Mani Wheels: Found at religious sites, shrines, and scenic points throughout Kyrat. Spinning them grants Karma and XP. Finding and spinning all of them unlocks a specific perk and contributes to 100% completion.
  • Lost Letters: Hidden notes scattered across Kyrat, written by a British Army officer stationed there in the 19th century. They tell a personal story of his experiences, love, and the impact of colonialism, providing historical lore.
  • Mohan Ghale's Journals: Pages from Ajay's father's journal, hidden in various locations. Collecting these reveals Mohan Ghale's backstory, his motivations for starting the Golden Path, his relationship with Ishwari and Pagan Min, and his internal conflicts.
  • Propaganda Posters: Pagan Min's propaganda posters are plastered throughout Kyrat. Tearing them down or defacing them grants XP and contributes to regional liberation and 100% completion.
  • Masks of Yalung: Terrifying masks associated with a demonic cult, hidden in dark caves and remote locations. Collecting them for a side character (related to Shangri-La lore) reveals a disturbing side story and grants rewards.
  • Kyrat Fashion Week Quest Items (Rare Skins): Specific rare animals need to be hunted with particular weapons for Mr. Chiffon's 'Kyrat Fashion Week' quests to craft unique gear upgrades.

colorize Combat & Gear
Weapons Overview
  • 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).
  • Standard Firearms: Various (Pistols, SMGs, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, LMGs)
    A wide array of conventional firearms. Can be customized with attachments like scopes (various types), suppressors, extended magazines, and paint jobs. Weapon progression involves unlocking them via purchase or completing missions.
  • Bows & Crossbows: Silent Ranged
    Includes the Recurve Bow, Hunter Bow, and Auto-Crossbow. Essential for stealth. Can use regular, fire, and explosive arrows/bolts, which can be crafted.
  • Launchers & Heavy Weapons: Explosive/Anti-Vehicle
    Includes RPG-7, GM-94 (grenade launcher), LK-1018 (rocket launcher), Flamethrower, and the Mortar (can be found and used at fixed locations or carried).
  • Signature Weapons: Unique Pre-Modded
    Special versions of existing weapons with enhanced stats (damage, accuracy, fire rate, etc.) and unique appearances. Unlocked by completing specific tasks, liberating outposts, or progressing the story (e.g., The Shredder SMG, The Buzzsaw LMG, The AMR sniper rifle).
  • Melee Weapons: Close Quarters
    Primarily the Kukri knife for standard melee attacks and brutal takedowns. Other contextual melee options exist. Throwing knives are also available.
  • Throwables & Explosives: Tactical/Area Denial
    Grenades, Molotov Cocktails, C4, Mines (Proximity & Remote), Bait (to attract predators towards enemies).
Armor / Gear Sets
  • 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.
  • Crafted Gear Upgrades (Capacity): While Ajay doesn't equip traditional 'armor' pieces for direct damage reduction that are visually represented, he crafts upgrades to his gear using animal skins. This includes: Weapon Holsters (carry more weapons), Ammo Pouches (carry more ammo for specific weapon types), Quivers (carry more arrows/bolts), Syringe Kits (carry more syringes), Bait Bags, Throwables Bags, Loot Bags, and Heavy Ammo Bags. These are essential for increasing survivability and combat effectiveness by allowing more resources to be carried.
  • Body Armor (Consumable): Players can purchase or find Body Armor which provides an additional, non-regenerating health bar segment. This is consumed when damaged and needs to be replenished. It's a temporary defensive boost.
  • Cosmetic Outfits (Limited): The game features some unlockable cosmetic outfits (e.g., via Uplay rewards or special editions), but these are purely visual and do not offer stat bonuses. Ajay's default appearance changes slightly based on story progression or choices in a minor way.
Outfits/Customization
  • 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.
  • Default Outfits: Ajay Ghale's primary outfit is fairly standard throughout the game, consisting of practical clothing suitable for the mountainous environment. There are very limited changes to his base appearance.
  • Unlockable Cosmetic Outfits: A few cosmetic outfits could be unlocked via Ubisoft Club (formerly Uplay) rewards or were included in special editions (e.g., Hurk's outfit for the co-op player). These are purely visual and do not affect gameplay stats. Unlike later Far Cry games, extensive character customization through clothing is not a feature.
trending_up Progression & Upgrades
Skills & Progression
N/A

Ajay Ghale's abilities are upgraded through two skill trees: 'The Tiger' (offensive skills, focusing on assault tactics, weapon handling, and takedowns) and 'The Elephant' (defensive/utility skills, focusing on health, crafting syringes, survival, and stealth). Skill points are earned by gaining XP from completing missions, liberating outposts, hunting, and other activities. Crafting is essential for upgrading gear capacity (weapon holsters, ammo pouches, loot bags, syringe kits, etc.) using animal skins hunted from Kyrat's diverse wildlife. A Karma system rewards or punishes Ajay for his actions towards Golden Path members and civilians, unlocking perks and affecting interactions.

public World & Exploration
World & Level Design

Features a detailed and faithful recreation of central London, divided into several iconic boroughs like City of Westminster, Camden, Islington & Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and City of London. Each borough has its distinct architecture, landmarks (e.g., Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus), and atmosphere. The map is dense with activities, collectibles, and opportunities for emergent gameplay.

Kyrat is a large and vertically diverse open world, divided into Southern Kyrat and Northern Kyrat (unlocked later in the story). Southern Kyrat features lush valleys, forests, and rivers, while Northern Kyrat is characterized by treacherous snow-capped mountains, high-altitude plateaus, and icy conditions. The map is rich with varied biomes, ancient temples, remote villages, and enemy strongholds. Additionally, players can access the mystical realm of Shangri-La through a series of side missions, offering a visually distinct and fantastical environment.

Example Missions
  • Main Story Campaign (Rebuilding DedSec & Uncovering Zero-Day)
    A series of narrative missions focused on rebuilding DedSec London after the Zero-Day bombings, recruiting new members, destabilizing the control of Albion and Clan Kelley over the city, and ultimately investigating and confronting the mysterious Zero-Day entity.
  • Borough Uprising Missions
    Each of London's boroughs is under oppressive control. Completing a series of specific destabilization activities within a borough (e.g., rescuing prisoners, destroying propaganda, sabotaging Albion equipment) culminates in a unique liberation mission. Completing this frees the borough and unlocks a skilled operative with unique abilities related to that borough.
  • Operative Recruitment Missions
    After profiling an NPC and marking them as a potential recruit, players often need to complete a short mission tailored to that NPC's problems or needs to convince them to join DedSec (e.g., clearing their debt, finding a lost item, exposing a corrupt employer).
  • Side Missions & Activities
    Various optional tasks and activities found throughout London, such as parcel delivery missions (Parcel Fox), bare-knuckle fighting leagues, kick-up (football juggling) challenges, and disrupting specific Albion or Clan Kelley operations not tied to borough uprisings.
  • Online Co-op Missions (Watch Dogs: Legion Online)
    Narrative-driven cooperative missions designed for 2-4 players, often involving multi-stage objectives, teamwork, and unique challenges separate from the single-player campaign.
  • Tactical Ops (Watch Dogs: Legion Online)
    Challenging, end-game 4-player cooperative missions requiring high levels of coordination, communication, and skilled use of operative abilities and gadgets to overcome difficult scenarios with multiple complex objectives.
  • Bloodline Story Expansion (DLC)
    A separate story campaign set before the events of the main game, starring Aiden Pearce and Wrench as they undertake a new mission in London. Features its own narrative, missions, and progression.
  • Main Story Campaign (The Golden Path)
    A series of narrative-driven missions where Ajay Ghale gets involved with the Golden Path's rebellion against Pagan Min. Key objectives include disrupting Pagan Min's operations, rescuing important figures, making critical choices between Amita and Sabal's conflicting strategies, and ultimately confronting Pagan Min. This also involves uncovering the truth about Ajay's parents and their connection to Kyrat.
  • Outpost Liberation
    Capture enemy-controlled outposts scattered throughout Kyrat. This involves eliminating all Royal Army soldiers within the outpost, either stealthily (for bonus XP) or through open combat. Liberating outposts turns them into Golden Path strongholds, unlocking fast travel points, safe houses, side missions, and reducing enemy presence in the region.
  • Fortress Assaults
    Capture heavily fortified strongholds belonging to Pagan Min's lieutenants (De Pleur, Noore, Yuma). These are significantly larger and more challenging than regular outposts, often requiring more strategic planning and heavier firepower. Liberating fortresses further destabilizes Pagan Min's regime.
  • Shangri-La Missions (The Legend of Kalinag)
    Find hidden thangkas (sacred paintings) that transport Ajay into visions of the mythical paradise of Shangri-La. In these surreal sequences, Ajay embodies the ancient Kyrati warrior Kalinag, fighting demonic Rakshasa alongside a mystical tiger companion, seeking to free Shangri-La from corruption. Each mission involves combat, light puzzle-solving, and unique visual storytelling.
  • Side Missions (Weapon Convoys, Hostage Rescue, Assassination, Eye for an Eye, etc.)
    Various optional missions offered by Golden Path members and other NPCs. These include ambushing Royal Army weapon convoys, rescuing hostages, assassinating high-value targets, avenging fallen Golden Path members ('Eye for an Eye'), hunting specific animals for Kyrat Fashion Week, or delivering packages.
  • Karma Events
    Dynamic, randomly occurring events in the open world where Ajay can choose to help Golden Path rebels under attack, defend civilians, or stop Royal Army patrols. Completing these positively impacts Ajay's Karma level, which unlocks perks and discounts.
  • Campaign Story Choices (Amita vs. Sabal Missions)
    At several key points in the story, Ajay must choose to follow either Amita's plan or Sabal's plan for a particular mission. These choices have immediate consequences for the mission's objectives and dialogue, and cumulatively affect the Golden Path's leadership and the game's ending.
  • DLC Missions (Valley of the Yetis, Escape from Durgesh Prison, Hurk Deluxe Pack)
    Separate mission sets included in DLC. 'Valley of the Yetis' is a new campaign where Ajay defends a relay station against cultists and Yetis. 'Escape from Durgesh Prison' is a permadeath challenge to escape and reach an extraction point. 'Hurk Deluxe Pack' adds missions starring Hurk.

help_outline FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q: What does 'Play As Anyone' mean in Watch Dogs: Legion?
    A: It means that nearly every non-player character (NPC) you see in the game's open world of London can be profiled, recruited, and become a fully playable member of your DedSec resistance. Each character has their own unique combination of skills, traits, weapons, and even daily schedules.
  • Q: Is there a main protagonist, or do you only play as recruited operatives?
    A: There isn't a single, fixed main protagonist in the traditional sense for the base game. You build your team from the citizens of London. However, the 'Bloodline' DLC features Aiden Pearce (from Watch Dogs 1) and Wrench (from Watch Dogs 2) as central playable protagonists for that specific story.
  • Q: Can my operatives permanently die?
    A: The game offers a 'Permadeath' option. If enabled, when an operative is critically injured (e.g., 'killed' in combat), they are permanently lost from your team. If disabled (default), operatives are instead arrested or hospitalized for a period, becoming temporarily unavailable.
  • Q: How does hacking work in Watch Dogs: Legion?
    A: Hacking is a core mechanic. Players can hack a wide variety of objects and systems: security cameras, drones, vehicles (distract, steer, weaponize), turrets, people's phones (distract, attract), environmental traps (explode junction boxes, raise bollards), and more. Advanced hacks are unlocked via Tech Point upgrades.
  • Q: Is Watch Dogs: Legion Online still active?
    A: Yes, Watch Dogs: Legion Online is active, allowing players to team up for co-op missions, Tactical Ops, engage in PvP modes like Spiderbot Arena, or explore London in free roam with friends. Content updates have slowed, but servers remain online.
  • Q: Is Far Cry 4 a direct sequel to Far Cry 3?
    A: No, Far Cry 4 features a new story, setting, and protagonist (Ajay Ghale). While it shares thematic elements and gameplay mechanics with Far Cry 3, and Hurk Drubman Jr. returns, their narratives are not directly connected.
  • Q: Can I play the entire Far Cry 4 campaign in co-op?
    A: Most of the open-world content, including liberating outposts, fortresses, and exploring Kyrat, can be played in two-player online co-op (with the second player as Hurk). However, main story missions are generally designed for solo play by the host, though the co-op partner can often assist in the combat surrounding these missions in the open world.
  • Q: What are the 'Battles of Kyrat' multiplayer modes?
    A: Battles of Kyrat is Far Cry 4's competitive PvP multiplayer. It's an asymmetrical mode where one team plays as the Rakshasa (Golden Path warriors using bows, stealth, and animal summoning) and the other as Pagan Min's Elite Guard (using conventional firearms and vehicles). Game modes include capturing outposts, collecting propaganda, and securing demon masks.
  • Q: What is Shangri-La?
    A: Shangri-La is a mythical, heavenly realm in Kyrati folklore. In Far Cry 4, Ajay can find thangkas (religious paintings) that transport him into hallucinatory visions of Shangri-La, where he plays as the ancient Kyrati warrior Kalinag, fighting demonic forces alongside a mystical tiger companion. These sequences offer a unique visual style and gameplay experience.
  • Q: Do my choices between Amita and Sabal really matter?
    A: Yes, your choices to support either Amita or Sabal in their leadership struggle for the Golden Path have significant consequences. They affect the types of missions you undertake, the dialogue from characters, the state of certain locations in Kyrat, and ultimately contribute to different variations of the game's ending and the future of Kyrat.
  • Q: Can you ride elephants in Far Cry 4?
    A: Yes, riding elephants is a prominent feature. Ajay can mount wild elephants or find them at specific locations and use them as powerful, destructive mounts in combat, capable of trampling enemies and smashing through obstacles.
