Crime Hunt is one of three types of Online Operations in Watch Dogs 2, the other two being CTOS Haxx and (Un)Lawful (Dis)Order.
Description[]
Crime Hunt are activities the player can perform infinitely, except DedSec Events, to gain followers. The hostiles are gang members from either the Bratva, Tezcas, The 580s, Auntie Shu Boys or Sons of Ragnarok. During DedSec Events from this online operation the hostiles are members of Prime_Eight. There are in total 25 different Crime Hunts (five related to each gang), but only the descriptions vary, as the objective is one of five: steal a vehicle and deliver it to DedSec, steal two encrypted drives, download data from a server, free a DedSec prisoner, destroy three shipments. The player can choose from three operations each time. Upon completion of a crime hunt, other operations become available.
There are four difficulty levels for each operation: Normal, Hard, Insane, and Mayhem. Completing a crime hunt gives the player 15,000, 20,000 or 25,500 followers, respectively. Bonuses can be obtained if the player does the optional objective.
DedSec Events randomly appear with a call from Sitara, if the player is not on a mission. There are three distinct types and every single one gives 9,000 followers if completed. These operations have no difficulty levels or optional objectives.
