Watch Dogs - Human Traffic Investigations, Revoking Client Privileges, Out of Business

A quick guide to completing all ten Human Traffic Investigations, completing the bonus mission, and unlocking Revoking Client Privileges.

Watch Dogs' Human Traffic Investigations take in a huge amount of the city, and you'll have to pay a visit to every district, often back-tracking on yourself as you go. For this reason, we recommend unlocking all of the ctOS Towers before starting off on the trail, so you can make full use of the handy fast-travel system.

Every one of these investigations begins with a Buyer being marked on your map. Once you've tracked them down, you'll then need to hack their mobile phone and retrieve a briefcase. As soon as you've finished the 10th and final investigation, you'll be able to participate in a special bonus mission.

Head to the east section of Brandon Docks, and look for David chatting on his mobile by the water.

Paul can be found just to the south-east of the stadium in Parker Square. Head to the docks north of the chess mini-game.

Briefcase: Parker Square

Head to your original hideout at the Owl Motel - the briefcase is just to the rear of the building.

Human Traffic Investigation - 9

Contact: Anton Chenkov

This contact can be found at the Botanical Gardens in Parker Square. Hack his chat to get the location of the next briefcase.

Briefcase: The Wards

Go to the north-east section of The Wards, then look for the intrusion box outside a row of flats. Once you've scanned it you'll be ready to tackle the final investigation.

Human Traffic Investigation - 10

Contact: Gregory Foydalem

Gregory can be found in the Pawnee graveyard. Hack his conversation for the location of the briefcase.

Briefcase: Brandon Docks

This final briefcase is located inside the Tidis Warehouse Lockup. Once you've scanned it, you'll be able to start the bonus mission.

Demarked Man

Make your way to Joseph Demarco's home, then hack the intrusion box when you arrive. Complete the hacking mini-game, then make your way inside the building and hack the policeman's phone. Once you've done so, you'll be ready to start tracking down Joseph himself.

Out of Business

Jump into a nearby car, but make sure it's a relatively sturdy one as you'll be taking a few bumps throughout this mission. Next, open your map and create a waypoint that lies along Demarco's future route. Whatever you do, don't drive straight alongside his convoy to get ahead of the pack - if you do, you'll spook Demarco and have to start again.

Look for a suitable intersection, then park your car slap bang in the middle of it. Now litter the road with a handful of IEDs. As soon as the convoy gets close to the IEDs, set off one of them to trigger the whole lot. This will very likely kill Demarco and all of his friends. If your target survives, grab an Assault Rifle and shoot out his tires before killing him. If he still manages to get away, get back in your car and hunt him down - don't forget to make use of environmental traps to slow him down.

Once you've killed Demarco you'll need to lose the cops quickly. We recommend heading to the nearest train station and escaping on a train. However you choose to escape the authorities, doing so will unlock the Revoking Client Privileges achievement or trophy.
