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.

• 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.

Lincoln's skills improve through gameplay. As he takes over rackets and assigns them to his three underbosses (Vito, Cassandra, and Burke), he unlocks new perks and upgrades. These include increased health and stamina, improved weapon handling, and unique abilities like calling in enforcers, cutting phone lines to prevent police reinforcements, or having a car delivered on demand.

• 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.

  A: It includes the full base game plus all three of its story DLCs ('Faster, Baby!', 'Stones Unturned', and 'Sign of the Times') and all bonus content packs.
• Q: Is Mafia III connected to the other Mafia games?
  A: Yes. While it features a new protagonist and setting, Vito Scaletta, the protagonist of Mafia II, plays a major supporting role as one of Lincoln's underbosses.
• Q: How does the open world work?
  A: The open world of New Bordeaux is the setting for the story. The main gameplay loop involves taking over the city's nine districts one by one by dismantling the criminal rackets within them. Outside of this structure, players can freely explore the city.
• Q: What is the tone of the game?
  A: Mafia III is known for its serious and mature tone. It is a dark revenge story that directly confronts the racism and social upheaval of the 1960s American South.

Powered by an updated version of the Disrupt engine, the game offers a detailed and vibrant recreation of London.
