CTOS Tower

A ctOS tower site, near the Windy Hills

CTOS Towers are CTOS strongholds that appear in Watch Dogs. They may be hacked in order to uncover collectibles on the map in the surrounding area.

Description

There are 13 hackable CTOS towers throughout Chicago, and each of these sites are used to provide wireless connectivity for the CTOS. Each of these sites also gathers and stores information less important to the wider public. On the map, these tower sites are given the tag stating that if a player installs a backdoor virus, they can access more information on the area, such as hidden places, item collections, etc.
