While folks from Ubisoft continue to amaze players with trips in ancient history from the eyes of a master assassin and squad-based fights using tactical professionals,Watch Dogs 2allows players to take on the role of a hacking group hoping to stop an advanced surveillance system from ruining the privacy - and eventually lives - of citizens. In this sequel to the dystopian sci-fi game, newcomer hacker Marcus Holloway becomes entangled with affairs of hacking group DedSec as they stop the menace that is ctOS while recruiting others to the cause.

Set majorly in the game’s version of the San Francisco Bay Area,Watch Dogs 2allows players to not just fight with conventional weapons but rather use various gadgets and hack electronics to their advantage. And they can do it in style, too, as Marcus can wear a slate of rather fashionable outfits in his fight against ctOS. However, just whichWatch Dogs 2clothes do this in the best way possible?
Retro Modernist
How to get:Players who want to use this outfit set need to first buy the “Retro Modernist Pack” DLC. That way, they can unlock the clothing pieces they need to acquire the full extent of this outfit. These clothes are the following:
Given how social media and modern art has continuously evolved into allowing everyone to showcase their inner thoughts in various means, it makes sense for fashion to become a statement of its own. When combined with the anonymity of hacking inWatch Dogs 2, and hackers transform their love for art into a symbol of a rather artistic message. Such is the case of the “Retro Modernist Pack” for the game, where Marcus gets a wildly-covered makeover compared to his usual wears.
With theRetro Modernistoutfit, Marcus ofWatch Dogsgets a more artistic takewith his outfits. Gone are straightforward colors and more into clothing as canvas, cemented with his clothing pieces being riddled with various geometric patterns. More apparent are the strong choices of reds, blues and yellows on whites and blacks, which in itself screams retro-modernism. Players who want a more colorful take on their hacking journeys can get a lot out of the Retro Modernist outfit.
Zodiac Killer
How to get:Players need the “Root Access” DLC Pack to acquire this outfit, especially to unlock the clothing pieces they need for purchase. After acquiring the DLC, players need to procure the following specific items:
The Zodiac Killer has become one of the most iconic among infamous serial killers in modern history today, with his identity having never been confirmed despite leaving cryptic clues for the authorities to find. In the world ofWatch Dogs 2where hackers who save or ruin the world behind the scenes blend well with urban legends, players need to investigate the return of the serial killer, and this is exactly what theZodiac Killerembodies as an outfit.
Key to the Zodiac Killer-themed outfit is the “I Saw the Zodiac Killer” T-Shirt, as well as the bag and hat that carries his iconography. While Marcus isn’t necessarily the infamous Zodiac Killer, players who want their character to carry a piece of real-life lore into the game may find the Zodiac Killer outfit to be an interesting outfit set to wear, especially of players who lovepulling off uniqueWatch Dogsstunts.
Guru
How to get:Players first need to purchase the “Guru Pack” DLC before being able to access the outfit’s main clothes for purchase. Afterwards, they need to wear these items to get that Guru look perfectly:
AsWatch Dogs 2protagonist Marcus could demonstrate, money and information are nothing with the right equipment and the right approach, and access to these kinds of data can make someone extremely powerful - especially when used for nefarious means. And in society where social status matters to the masses, Marcus could very well transform into a self-made leader with theGurupack.
Designed specifically to appear rather bizarre and cultish, the Guru outfit is an alternate take on “posh.” While his white overcoat seems stylish enough, the Guru outfit on Marcus stands out particularly because of the cult iconography on his shirt, pants, and even face mask. Should DedSec decide to focus ongathering followers first similar toWatch Dogs Legion, this outfit style is definitely spot on.
Black Hat
How to get:Players may only acquire the clothes for this outfit if they get the “Black Hat Pack,” and the particular clothes they need are the following:
Players ofWatch DogsandWatch Dogs 2would very well know how iconic the looks of protagonists Marcus and Aiden are, especially considering their preference towards caps and high face masks even before the pandemic hit. And unlike Aiden that had a more “shut-in” look with his full outfits, Marcus had a more stylish approach with his more freeform choice of clothes. The “Black Hat Pack” DLC tries to turn this on its head, this time adding a monochromatic black look to cement Marcus’s status as a blackhat hacker.

With theBlack Hatoutfit, Marcus transforms resistance against cTOS into something completely from the shadows. Minus the typesetting on his hat, the rest of his clothing choices fall on the plain but stylish side. These include his black shirt over his black jacket, and even his black harem pants. If anything, these choices of clothes are perfect should players want to takeWatch Dogs 2hacksmore seriously.
Private Eye
How to get:Players should first buy the “Private Eye Pack” DLC to access the outfit pieces required of this outfit. The clothing pieces of this particular outfit are as follows:
A lot of crime series often show people hiring private investigators who, for some reason, always get information about their targets. In the case of the world ofWatch Dogs, accessing the information of others can be done as easy as a few clicks, and from a mobile phone no less. And while Marcus and his gang at DedSec showed a rather more radical approach to fight the oppressive cTOS, the “Private Eye Pack” shows a different angle: what if Marcus used his skills for detective work?
ThePrivate Eyeoutfit set is an extremely welcome and stylish change of pace for Marcus, similar to the change in aesthetic forbeginners ofWatch Dogs Legion. Instead of the more expressionistic take on most of the game’s outfits, the Private Eye reminds everyone that sleek and functional works. Boasting a fedora instead of a usual hat and all things leather, this Private Eye outfit gives Marcus and his hacking antics a sense of pizzazz.
Ded_Labs
How to get:Players need to access the “Ded Labs Pack” DLC to acquire parts of this outfit, which are comprised of the following clothes:
If theWatch Dogsseries is any indication, just because someone is a hacker doesn’t mean waging war against city-wide surveillance is automatically the endgame. With the “Ded Labs Pack” DLC, players ofWatch Dogs 2can transform their affiliation with DedSec into that of Ded_Labs, where hacking may take a scientific and medical agenda instead of that of a political one.
With theDed_Labsoutfit set, Marcus not only dons a rather clean white aesthetic, but adds pink and purple into the mix. Not only that, the particular sharp reds of his arm bands and pants, and most especially the red cross over his safety mask, lets fans know that Marcus this time around is a man of science. Players may imagine themselvesusing theirWatch Dogs 2skillsto hack hospitals to access medicine to give to the poor, and other derivatives.
EliteSec
How to get:Players should first acquire the “EliteSec Pack” DLC in order to unlock the apparel needed for this outfit set. And after that, players need to purchase the following clothes to pull off the outfit:
In the world ofWatch Dogs, folks at DedSec proved it’s not enough to simply rely on cTOS for protection, especially when the world’s information is at risk. However, it’s foolish to assume that only DedSec have what it takes to turn an information battle to their advantage. With the “EliteSec Pack,” players transform Marcus into a military contractor, with theEliteSecoutfit this time around giving a military spin to the hacker concept - perfect forWatch Dogs 2players who love using weaponsas well.

Unlike other outfits, the EliteSec outfit gives Marcus’s urban outfit the camo makeover. Instead of his usual overalls, both his jeans and jacket have camouflage details, with his bag being more military-leaning. This outfit gives Marcus a much-needed “stiff-but-disciplined” look, separate from the careless-but-carefree vibe of DedSec.
Defalt
How to get:Players only need the base game to acquire this clothing set, specifically made with these items:
Players engrossed inWatch Dogslore know that Defalt is a rather iconic antagonist in the first game, part in parcel due to his iconic mouse-like helmet with a pointed snout that glows blue. Despite his comedic appearance, he is actually one of the most skilled blackhat hackers in theWatch Dogsteam Dot ConneXion. Such was his legacy thatWatch Dogs 2would have people across the Bay Area wear paraphernalia emblazoned with his logo, indicating a niche popularity.
Those who playedWatch Dogsthat also loved Defalt as a character may finally join some NPCs inWatch Dogs 2in their open fanfare, courtesy of theDefalt Outfit. Unlike other more sophisticated outfits in the game, the Defalt Outfit is extremely straightforward - aside from the jacket with Defalt’s logo, only the pointed blue face mask is reminiscent of Defalt’s “aesthetic.” Perhaps what makes this look rather iconic is its reflection of how even a simple logo could signify a person’s admiration over something - and especially more so with Defalt that became a modern “hero” in Ubisoft’s game, perfect for theFollowers concept of theWatch Dogsgame.
T-Bone
How to get:Players need to purchase the “T-Bone Pack” DLC first before being able to access the clothes they need to acquire this outfit. And after buying the clothes below, wearing them can give players the same free-spirited aesthetic that fans love about T-Bone.
Known primarily as everyone’s friend in theWatch Dogsseries, T-Bone serves not just as a tritagonist of the originalWatch Dogsgame but also a supporting character in the second installment that helped Marcus and his crew behind the scenes. Opposite the more artsy Defalt, T-Bone is by all means everyone’s friend with the potty-mouth. However, despite his cranky attitude, T-Bone has got to be one of the best hackers out there - even withouthaving to useWatch Dogs 2weapons.
In turn, it makes sense for Ubisoft to give lovers of this character a DLC of his own, and especially an outfit to showcase said affection. Aside from the rather colorful take this outfit provides for Marcus, the details selected are particularly very T-Bone. These include the patchwork of emojis and profanities sewed on various parts of the clothing, the references to code stitched on the clothes,
The Shuffler
How to get:Players need to complete the unmarked mission surrounding the Shuffler around the game map, which they would notice by checking out the various Shuffler Marks scattered in hidden sections of the world.
As though cTOS hasn’t become an extreme threat in the Bay Area in the events ofWatch Dogs 2, its citizens also hear of something only known as the Shuffler. Somewhat of an urban legend, this “entity” of sorts is apparently responsible for hundreds of disappearances in the area, with no apparent evidence of its existence. Even the game itself classifies the Shuffler as an in-game entity, but with no physical form. The only sign of its existence are its bloody markings around the map that leave an eerie hum when approached.
Thing is, when Marcus manages to visit all sites of where the markings have appeared, he obtains what is known as theShuffler Outfit. The outfit set appears to be an all-white set of shirt, coat, jeans, and even a beanie dirtied with age, and with various markings. While simply “dirty” at first glance, its special effect lies in how it affects gameplay. This time around, Marcus can perform a special takedown that reflects the “supernatural” nature of the Shuffler, where Marcus can levitate enemies into the air and telekinetically break their bones - somethingWatch Dogs 2players would only ordinarily be able to do with weapons.
Watch Dogs 2was released last 2016 for the PS4, Xbox One, and the PC.
