I'm not sure...

Hi guys.

I only played and finished the first game, which was simple enough to understand how it works during stealth.

I'm starting Legion with Bloodlines since it says the DLC takes place before the events of the main game.
Now I tried Watch Dogs 2 and it seems Legion follows the same kind of gameplay with a little bit of changes, but I just can't for the life of me... understand how it works.
There's TOO many guards everywhere , I can't attract anyone to anything, I can only distract and thats not very helpful since they're usually near other guards.

and small places that I need to access but I can't access them because there are guards in it, do I just have to brute force it? I can't stealth?? or draw them out somehow?

I'm super confused and frustrated, I stopped at 118 minutes, I find the game fun enough to continue, the problem is I don't know HOW to continue...

Any suggestions before I try it again? cause next time I won't be able to refund.

Thank you!

It doesn't follow Watch Dogs 2, it's actually much, much better.

For normal difficulties (I'm not talking about Resistance mode) stealth works this way:

You need to always crouch using crouch button and holster your weapon = no weapons in your hands! If a guard notices you, instead of immediately raising the alert like in previous WD games the guard will try to neutralize you using a brand new melee fight system.

So at this point you can retreat behind the nearest corner, so other guards won't be able to see you, and knock down the guard that notices you either through melee fight or stun hack. If you do that very fast, there will be no alerts, nothing, all other guards wouldn't know about your presence.

But if you wasn't that careful, attracted several guards in the process and started melee fight with all of them, one of them might loose his temper and pull out his gun. At this point you can either hack/disable his gun and focus on him alone or can pull out your own gun and start shooting at all of the guards.

Unless you're playing the game on Resistance mode or game designers put a forced alert/detection sequence, that's how stealth works in Legion. That's what makes Legion truly great as a stealth game. It's more smooth, more enjoyable than Watch Dogs 1 and 2. Especially more enjoyable than 2, which doesn't even have WD1 slow motion.

If you don't like the way it works, if you want to play it like WD2 or WD1, just use cover system, AR cloak (available in main campaign) and never holster your weapon, always keep your weapon in hands.

Bloodline DLC doesn't have some of the gadgets main campaign/online has. For example, main campaign has multi purposed electro-shock grenade you can attract and stun enemies with. So you are kinda limited when it comes to distractions.

You have to complete side missions to unlock some useful upgrades: 'gun jam' to disable guards' weapons, 'attract hack' to attract enemies using different traps, 'disrupt hack' to stun guards.

You can also attract enemies using security cameras both clicking on them through hacking mode and while operating them.

Well thank you for the very detailed reply and help.

I'll give it another chance (and this time It's final I guess, got 2 minutes left for the refund window)
