In Watch Dogs 2
Earning money in Watch Dogs 2 doesn’t have to be a chore unlike in other games, as thanks to Marcus’s hacking abilities, amongst other things, you can come across cash easier than ever before. Here are a few easy ways to earn money fast in Watch Dogs 2.
Hacking NPCs’ phones and ATMs
Watch Dogs 2 is a game all about hacking, so it only seems fitting that you’re able to commit fraud and money theft. This is the easiest way to make money as there are NPCs literally everywhere. All you have to do is walk close to an NPC and aim your cursor at them. Press L1 or LB, depending on your console, to bring up the hacking menu. From here, you can select the blue dollar symbol which will proceed to take money out of their account and deposit it into your own. You’ll be making small amounts each time, under a $100, but it all soon adds up. Head to a busy location and you could be making some serious cash for little effort.
You can also use this same trick for ATMs which can reward you with more cash.
If you want to earn some more cash from this method, the further you get into the game, you’ll be able to spend research points. You must spend some in the Social Engineering tree to unlock the Improve Profiler upgrade. Once you have it, you’re guaranteed to steal at least $400 everytime with payouts sometimes being a lot higher.
This is by far the easiest and quickest way to earn money in Watch Dogs 2.
Did you know that every time you steal a car Marcus will automatically grab any cash that is in the car and add it to your bank account? Not only that, but he will also take anything valuable that has been left in the car including phones, laptops, and tablets. These get added to your inventory that you can then sell at a later point.
To sell your stolen goods, go to any pawn shop. Your items will then be sold, and depending on how much tech you’ve managed to steal, it can be a very profitable trip indeed.
