The one I’m most excited for is Spiderbot Arena, in which you’re pitted in a Robot Wars-style ring with up to seven other player-controlled bots. There are a couple of these, and more are planned for the future. New PvP modes are being added to Watch Dogs: Legion. While one of your team is in a drone solving a puzzle, the others might be trying to defend you from an onslaught, or crawling through ducts with Spiderbots. They’re essentially heist missions which will require planning, communication and efficiency with your squad. The special missions made for four players are called Tactical Ops.
There’ll be all kinds of combinations, so it’s up to you to find the coolest. Maybe you have a drone user who lures enemies into the trap of a granny with a taser, or a fast hacker who can get the job done quickly while the rest of your squad go loud with AK47s. You’ll want to work out which characters’ abilities will synergise best with the rest of your team, and find unique ways to combine them. New missions are being added, specifically designed for co-op play with a team, so hopefully we’ll be seeing some heist-style planning in service of a mission’s goal. Up to four players can explore at a time, and you’ll be able to recruit operatives while you’re at it, switching between your DedSec squad. Watch Dogs: Legion allows you to join up with friends in co-op mode, letting you explore all of London with your pals.
