Watch Dogs: Legion lets you play as anyone. People all over London can join your cause and everyone has unique skills to contribute. The trick is to find the perfect agents to complete each mission, and some agents have much cooler abilities than anyone else.
Some character types are just a cut above the others. Spies have silenced weapons, super cars with hidden missiles, and smartwatches that can disable bad guys' weapons. Hitmen have access to gunkata and heavy weapons. Then there are downright savage agents like the Stage Magician with his ability to hypnotize enemies and force them to switch sides. Yes, he is a real character.
Below, we'll talk about some of the best characters you can grab early on in your adventure. We won't list them all – some like the construction worker who operates a drone are required to progress through the story, but these following weird characters can be missed for a long time.
