How ScoutX selfies work in Watch Dogs 2

How it works is simple - when you're near an attraction, your phone will buzz to say it's close by. Take out the phone, and perform a selfie in its general direction, and the ScoutX location will appear in the upper left corner when you have it in shot.

Attractions can be landmarks or people, and the only real difficulty is when it comes to the latter. There's a chance they won't be there when you arrive (the game will tell you as such if that's the case), in which case return later. The vast majority will appear in the day time, but a small number (which we mention below) will appear at night.

Every ScoutX snap gives you an additional 8,000 Followers, making it an easy top up if you're in the right area. Also, at various landmarks you'll unlock a new selfie pose for future snaps:

• Surfs up! - 10 landmarks
• Dayum! - 15 landmarks
• Smooth Operator - 20 landmarks
• Hey, girl! - 30 landmarks
• WTF - 40 landmarks

Also, if you're looking to get the 'Got the Shutterbug' Trophy, you need to visit 25 ScoutX locations. If you're looking to do this quickly, we recommend visiting Japantown, the Painted Ladies district and Pier 39 (where you can also see Coit Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance), as each one has a handful each, then getting any others you find on your travels as you do other activities (the Key Data locations tend to put you near quite a few landmarks, for example).
