- ❝ This is how the world turns. Not much room for fuck-ups.❞
- ―Dermot "Lucky" Quinn
Backseat Driver is the fourth storyline mission in Watch Dogs. It marks the player's first encounter with the Chicago South Club leader Dermot "Lucky" Quinn.
Plot[]
Aiden is contacted by an unknown man, Neil Corrado, asking him to come to a garage in Parker Square. As Aiden enters the district, he hears from the police chatter that the Chicago Police Department has set up patrols and roadblocks in the district, as his contractor escapes the police following an unsuccessful heist. Aiden meets the man in the garage and drives away with his car; during the escape, Aiden is forced to escape the patrols.The man was impatient and initially asks Aiden to escape his route, but Aiden refuses, who said that if he did so, both would be killed. After successfully doing so, his contractor asks him to drive him to an alleyway in The Loop.
Aiden drives to the destination and finds the leader of the Chicago South Club, Quinn, and his henchman waiting. During the encounter, Neil attempts to apologize for the failed heist but claims to have obtained the laptop computer Quinn is seeking, stating it is the "only important thing." Quinn feigns consolation and inquires whether Neil has contacted anyone prior to the heist. Upon receiving a negative response, Quinn orders his henchman to take Neil down. As the henchman is about to take him down, Neil resists and pushes him onto the hood of Aiden's car. Soon, when he turns to speak to Quinn, Quinn stabs him in the throat, and his henchmen subsequently execute him with three shots in a row. Quinn then returns the knife to his cane. Afterwards, Quinn informs Aiden that he will contact his employer if more is needed.
Following this, Aiden receives a call from BadBoy17, who wants to meet him face-to-face.
Mission objectives[]
- Reach the West Island for the driving contract.
- Reach the fugitive undetected.
- Escape the lockdown area undetected.
- Deliver the fugitive and avoid all detection.
Trivia[]
- Once the police radio finishes announcing the initiation of a CTOS scan, a tutorial box will pop up. When the game continues, a shorter announcement is made. However, Aiden's cursing interrupts the announcement, causing it to prematurely stop.
- The same thing is applied to the subtitles. Aiden's curse word, however, is not subtitled.
- The name of the fugitive Aiden must escort is never spoken aloud but exiting the car and scanning him with the profiler identifies him as Neil Corrado, with the additional information that he is wanted by the police, facing foreclosure, employed as a security guard and earning $36500 a year.
- The getaway vehicle Aiden drives from Neil Corrado's garage is riddled with bullet holes. However, after meeting with Quinn (completing the mission), the bullet holes seem to disappear. This is most likely a development oversight.
