Watch Dogs - Ghosts of the Past, police helicopter, avoid the police

All of the information you need escape the gaze of the police helicopter, and flee the city without being detected by the troops on the ground.

Your task here is pretty simple: get out of the city and don't get spotted by the authorities. Unlike in earlier missions, you'll have to start all over again if the police get even a single second's sight on you. There's no margin for error here - either you finish the mission unseen, or you repeat it until you've done so.

Ghosts of the Past

- Leave town. Avoid the police

We can't give you a specific route to take here, as the police mixes up its journey on each attempt. We do recommend avoiding the freeway, however, and you should never stop moving for even a single moment. Keep heading north to escape the attention of the helicopter, but don't be afraid to veer off to the west or east to avoid more confrontations - the more heat you have on you, the harder it is to flee.

By all means set a GPS marker so you have a vague idea of where you're headed towards, but don't be a slave to it. Keep your eyes on the mini-map at all times so you can slip away from police hotspots. Note also that you don't have to make it all the way to the mission marker - just close enough to trigger the circular marker. Once you get a little bit beyond the perimeter, you'll automatically complete the mission.
