00:02The Human Conditions DLC for Watch Dogs 2 is coming February 21st on PS4 and March 23rd on PC and
00:10Xbox One.
00:11And it's a beefy expansion that adds elite co-op challenges, a new type of enemy, and, oh yeah, three
00:16new multi-mission operations to its storyline.
00:19More than missions, these are substantial story arcs that give Marcus Holloway a fresh set of tech villains to smack
00:25down,
00:25unique hacking challenges to discover, and at least one familiar face to reconnect with.
00:31With never-before-seen areas and objectives added to the mix, there's plenty for even the most badass hacker to
00:36dig into.
00:37Here's a taste of what's in store.
00:42Surgeries are being postponed and prescriptions are on hold because the records won't load.
00:46We've played through two of the new operations, the third one's secret for now,
00:49and we started with Bad Medicine, which puts Marcus on the trail of Russian monsters
00:53who've hacked Bay Area hospitals with ransomware.
00:56It also puts someone else on Marcus's tail,
00:59Geordi Chin, known to fans of the first Watch Dogs as the dapper sociopath who kept Aiden Pearce supplied with
01:04a steady stream of stolen vehicles.
01:06Their alliance is a shaky one, to say the least.
01:09You're hurtful. That's what you are. You're hurtful and stinging.
01:12But Geordi's ruthless methods are a pleasure to watch as Marcus hacks his way through Bratva security systems,
01:18creeps through a heavily guarded construction site,
01:20and pilots drones through a server array straight out of a certain space opera.
01:25Holy shit, people.
01:26It's like I'm staring right down a thermal exhaust portal.
01:30Like the other episodes in Human Conditions, Bad Medicine's events aren't dependent on the single-player campaign,
01:35although if you're still making your way through Watch Dogs 2,
01:38it'll unlock once Hacker Wars, Eye for an Eye, and...
01:41Watched?
01:42Waforched?
01:43How do hackers pronounce numbers used as letters?
01:46Whatever.
01:46Anyway, once those operations have been completed.
01:51Automata!
01:52Self-driving cars are at once an exciting and terrifying proposition,
01:57and given how often systems are abused or hacked in the Watch Dogs universe,
02:00they're firmly on the terrifying side in the Automata operation.
02:04The op begins with Noodle unveiling a self-driving car unlocked by its owner's biometric data.
02:09It will remember your preferences and save them right into your biometric profile.
02:14Marcus and Wrench immediately decide to hack it just to see if they can,
02:17but they quickly uncover a more sinister technology behind the gleaming new vehicle
02:21and how it prioritizes lives during accidents.
02:25Automata is a series of tense infiltration missions,
02:28with Marcus compromising a biometric security company,
02:31sneaking into a heavily guarded TV station,
02:33and learning an uncomfortable amount about the lonely life of a Noodle VP.
02:37What if she doesn't look like her picture?
02:39What if she thinks I don't look like my picture?
02:43Because it heavily involves Noodle,
02:44Automata unlocks once you've finished the Limp Noodle operation,
02:47and yes, you'll be able to add the self-driving car to your stable of on-demand vehicles
02:52once you've finished Automata,
02:53and no, it won't drive itself afterwards.
02:56Oh Jesus!
02:57Turn!
02:57Turn!
02:58With elite co-op missions, new hack-proof jammer enemies,
03:01and a whole other operation still to be revealed,
03:04Human Conditions is a meaty addition for anyone hungry for more DedSec shenanigans,
03:08with inventive missions and goofball story beats that blend beautifully with the central storyline.
03:13Expect it February 21st if you're playing on PS4,
03:17and Xbox One and PC on March 23rd.
