Watch Dogs City Hotspots locations guide

Mad Mile 

Not that there are any ships at this Navy pier, but you can use the shaded benches nearby as reliable markers to find this Hotspot.

Lipstick Killer - Ross Crime Scene

For a crime scene, this Hotspot is surprisingly well-lit. Look for it in the middle of the park.

Lipstick Killer - Brown Crime Scene

This is a Hotspot found at the east end of Mad Mile. Look for the bush on the right and the overpass in the distance.

2nd Regiment Armoury

This armoury is a large building; to best find the Hotspot, look for at the armoury’s northeast corner. Look for the pair of benches and--if you’re searching at night--the mood lighting.

WZK-TV Mad Mile

Here’s another Chicago building with some art deco accents and revolving doors. Look for the Hotspot at the building’s entrance.

Chicago World News Tower

This is one of those Hotspots that’s close to the road. Another landmark to look out for is the inclined sidewalk.

Crowley Building

If you’re having trouble finding this Hotspot, simply look for the well-planted urban foliage and the nearby posters.

The Sands

The early chapters of Watch Dogs show how layered Chicago can be. As such, here’s a landmark beneath the city. Look for the bridge nearby.

Triomphe Tower

The giant glass walls in the background and the steps in the foreground are the best landmarks for finding this Hotspot.

The Sausage Vat Murder

There isn’t a sausage vat to be found at this Hotspot, just some well-laid bricks and possibly an amorous couple at the foreground bus stop.

Hanson Park

Hanson Park’s large anchor makes for a convenient Hotspot landmark. The check-in is at the south side of the anchor.

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Lookout

There are very few Hotspots that can be found at the end of a highway off ramp. This is one of them.

Birthplace of the Chicago South Club

The side of a garage makes for an unusual spot for a Hotspot, especially given the location’s history.

Saga Theatre

This Hotspot’s location is as clear as day, with a video ad for coffee playing above it.

Water Tower

This medieval-inspired mini tower sticks out considerably in modern day Chicago. Just look for the tower’s entrance to find the Hotspot.

O’Banion’s Flower Shop

Here’s another historical locale-turned-garage. There’s no flower shop to be found--only giant bricks, a garage door, and a large self parking sign.

Home of Samuel “Nails” Morton

Here’s another plain-as-day Hotspot on another nondescript building. This can be found on the east end of the building.

John Hancock Centre

You can easily find this Hotspot at the top of the steps of the plaza with the blue awnings.

Commonwealth Hotel

Look for the plaza in the background and the elevated train platform in the far background to help you find this Hotspot.

Sheridan Wave Club

This Hotspot is found at the side of the park adjacent to the elevated train platform.

Seaside Restaurant

The two most prominent landmarks at this Hotspot? The unique red shades in the foreground and the giant anchor in the background.

Lipstick Killer - Degnan Crime Scene

Look for the railing and the short steps close by to find this Hotspot.

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre

The site of a famous massacre is now a serene courtyard in a residential area. Look for the Hotspot in the centre of the courtyard.
