- â This city needs a resistance, and it starts with you.â
- ―Sabine Brandt
Restart DedSec is the second mission in Watch Dogs: Legion. It also serves as an introductory mission to using the Spiderbot, driving vehicles, DedSec features, as well as melee combat.
Plot[]
Months after the largest terrorist attack in London, Sabine Brandt, the last remaining survivor of DedSec's London branch, seeks to rebuild. Using a Spiderbot, she infiltrates the Blume Data Centre. As this goes on, an audio log from the radio host show BuccanEar Radio is played in the background, with its host Claire Waters listening to inputs from civilians of London on their opinion of DedSec. After successfully hacking through CTOS Data Clusters, Sabine hacks into the CTOS of London and begins to search for potential new recruits; however, many of such have either gone missing, been arrested, been deported, or are deceased. Fortunately, there is still some potential candidates left.
The player can select three new operatives from a randomly-generated list of operatives as the potential candidates. In London, the aforementioned new operative is walking through London, when they are forced to hide behind a wall to remain out of sight of Albion trucks and drones. They are contacted by Sabine after that, and Sabine asks them to go to the Safehouse to meet her there.
After successfully reaching the Safehouse, which is located in The Earl's Fortune, and disabling its security system, the player has to first power up the Safehouse, and also activate Bagley's servers, which had been deactivated a few months prior during Operation Westminster. Bagley tells the player that the real perpetrator behind the bombings was an anonymous hacker group called Zero Day, who framed DedSec for the bombings, turning the world against DedSec. The player then answers Sabine's video call, and Sabine persuades them to join DedSec.
Having joined DedSec, the player is introduced to the Tech Menu, where they must purchase a new gadget and equip it. Bagley also introduces the player to the DedSec Shop. After having completed both tasks, Sabine instructs the player to go to the Boxing Ring to learn melee combat with Connie Robinson. After having learnt through the basics, the player will meet with the other two operatives they chose earlier in the mission, the player then leaves the Safehouse, ands sets off to build the Resistance to take back London, beginning with disrupting Albion in the area. The mission Reporting For Duty then begins.

Trivia[]
- The Objective "Acquire your Equipment" will give the player 10 Tech Points, allowing for the purchase of one of two items: the Infiltrator Spiderbot or the AR Cloak.
- Connie Robinson is tending bar when the player first enters The Earl's Fortune.
- When the player selects their first three operatives, they will be given a choice between 15 characters. The portraits will be random each time, but the same 15 Traits will be available, though often in a different order.
- Originally, the player could only select one Operative, with one random trait. Title Update 4.5 changed this to allow the player to select three Operatives, now each having two random Traits, though the player will only be able to play as the third-selected Operative until the completion of the mission.
