The Rat's Lair is the thirty-third storyline mission in Watch Dogs, and the third mission of Act IV.

Plot

After Aiden's meeting with Damien, Aiden gets a call from T-Bone saying he found something in Defalt's lair. Aiden gets there, but it's a coffee shop and so Aiden has to find an access point into Defalt's network. After he hacks in, he finds T-Bone having a great time because Defalt owns prototype and antique technology, and T-Bone really likes those. Aiden tells him to get out of there as Fixers burst into the room.

T-Bone sneaks out and regroups with Aiden. After he gets outside, he reveals that Defalt doesn't have the data on his computer, but instead he literally has it on him. Additionally, T-Bone also says that Defalt has been messing around with CTOS, and that he has access to the full network.

Mission objectives

• Use the Profiler to find an access point.
• Connect to T-Bone.
• Lead T-Bone to safety.
  • (Optional) Eliminate the Fixers.
• Kill all the fixers or escape.

Trivia

• The Rat's Lair was originally a longer mission that started out with Aiden stealth driving to avoid the police as seen in the E3 2013 gameplay demo. It is unknown why this part of the mission was cut.
• Although Defalt has CTOS access, he can't trigger CTOS Scans like Damien can. He does however have access to a few others:
  • Defalt will try to stop Aiden by blowing up steam pipes, and raising bridges.
  • These hacks can be seen on the mini-map and on-screen (look for the red diamond symbol)
• If a player is in need of a vast amount of XP quickly, instead of losing the Fixers Defalt sent after them, they can start a chase, and kill an infinite number of enemies for lots of XP, and as long as they don't die. They can end it whenever they want by losing the pursuers.
