"The Defalt Condition" is the thirty-fourth storyline mission in Watch Dogs, and the fourth mission of Act IV.
Plot[]
After T-Bone calls Aiden to say that he found Defalt's "Loveshack", Aiden goes to the Ambrose Theatre to find Defalt. After some hacking, Aiden finds Defalt up in a balcony. Defalt detects Aiden and starts to escape but Aiden either kills him, or downloads his data and let him escape, only to realize it is a Defalt Impostor. Aiden takes the hard drive and escapes as the mission ends.
Mission objectives[]
- Find access into Dot Connexion unnoticed.
- Enter the Ambrose Theatre discreetly.
- Profile the guests to get to Defalt.
- Hack Defalt's server.
- Chase Defalt.
- Fight your way across the rooftop.
- Chase Defalt.
- Download the data.
- Chase Defalt.
- Take down Defalt.
Strategy tips[]
- It is possible to take down Defalt without having to leave the vicinity of the Ambrose Theatre. After evading/killing the fixers, immediately head for Defalt's fleeing car. If correctly performed, a 'Neutralize' indicator will appear as Aiden reaches his vehicle. This will raise the blockers and since Defalt will not leave the vehicle until all data is retrieved, Aiden can just stand next to Defalt's vehicle. However, killing Defalt before the data reaches 100% will result in mission failure.
Trivia[]
- The car which "Defalt" uses has a unique plate: D3F-4L7.
- When scanning NPCs with the Profiler while in Dot ConneXion, their CTOS profiles will be altered with taunting messages. However, certain NPCs will have profiles will include a message saying "FOLLOW ME 127.0.0.1". 127.0.0.1 is an IP address referred to as "localhost", or "home". The message could be "Follow me home".
- Defalt's car, the RoseWood, is the only unique NPC car in the game. It is unlocked in the Car on Demand app after completing the mission.

- If the QR code on the drink server is scanned, there will be some text that reads "!!!! BRAVO UBISOFT MONTREAL!!!! :)". This is a reference to the studio who created the game.
