The part will feature Marcus hacking an illegal stingray box as part of a DedSec mission as he can deploy several drones from his arsenal such as the quad copter to scout the skies or the RC jumper to explore the terrain undetected. Driving in "Watch Dogs 2" has been improved to make it more responsive and accessible to a wide variety of gamers. There are also customization features for Marcus in terms of clothing as there are at least 700 unique items with over a billion possible combination from hats, shirts, pants and shoes.
Gamers can also perform selfies with different filters and the more pictures Marcus has, the more followers will be added to his DedSec account.
