ScoutX

App logo.

ScoutX is an app on Marcus Holloway's smartphone in Watch Dogs 2. It acts as a successor to the City Hotspots app and allows the player to find landmarks by their distance, see their descriptions, and set waypoints to their locations. This lets the player complete challenges and gain followers. When installed, ScoutX will even send a notification on the mini map when the player is close enough to a landmark.

Function[]

When the player is near a landmark, the phone will buzz and tell them they are close to it. They can then take out the phone, select the camera, and point to the landmark, if it lines up with the ScoutX location criteria, it will appear in the upper left corner, if not they should try a different angle or position. When it's lined up clearly, the player can then take the photo and be rewarded with followers.

Activity Feed[]

ScoutXFeed

An example of a ScoutX feed

This tab allows players to see an activity feed, where players can see both themselves and other players' and Dedsec's NPCs' selfies in front of hotspots. The photos may also have comments from DedSec on them, but Marcus may not comment. As Marcus' follower count rises, so does his likes.

Trivia[]

  • When talking to an NPC in Palo Alto named Colleen Forsberg, they will say "Urban Scout", but the subtitles read ScoutX. This could hint that the original name for ScoutX was "Urban Scout".
