Ubisoft's open world title, Watch Dogs will get a boost as the company announced a new downloadable content (DLC) that will be adding three more missions to this action-adventure video game. The DLC will however be for the single-player mode only.
The new DLC will also include unlockable items, said Ubisoft in a post on its official blog. The DLC as noted earlier will introduce players to three more missions allowing them to explore more of the fictional Chicago.
Three New Missions
- The Palace
This mission tasks players to infiltrate the home of an Internet mogul and extract information (via hard drive) on the protagonist Aiden Pierce and the hacking collective Dedsec. But all these must be completed before police make the raid. Players must also eliminate the mogul for their own safety.
- Signature Shot
Players will have to break in to the Viceroy stronghold and find the new Biometric Rifle that has been shipped to Chicago. Players have to make sure Aiden gets his palm on it before others since the weapon can fire only for the first person who has got his palm imprinted on it. The weapon is ideal for long-range attacks and it also has a high rate of fire which helps in close fights.
- Breakthrough
This mission tasks the player with finding the location of a secret meeting between the Chicago South Club and some corporate CEOs and stopping any dealings that might be sealed. But players will have to eliminate scramblers by tracking their vehicle. Players will also have to terminate all those who are present at the meeting. The mission will involve both driving and an assassination.
Weapons
Players will not only be receiving the Biometric Rifle, but will also get Auto-6 pistol that can deal heavy damage to rivals.
New Outfits
As players progress though thier missions they will be eligible for new outfit - the South Chicago outfit, boosts - Dedsec Battery boost (provides additional phone battery), Blume Weapon boost (reduces recoil and increases loading speeds), Driving Master boost (increases the hit points of you vehicle) and ATM Hack boosts (this will provide players with more money).
Pricing Details
The DLC is available for free to all the Season Pass holders and players who do not have the Pass can buy the DLC for $6.99. Season Pass can be bought for $19.99.

Below are the new changes:
- The victim of a hacking invasion will not lose his/her Notoriety, even if they fail to find the hacker.
- Players losing a ctOS Mobile Challenge will never lose Notoriety, provided they have all passed atleast a few checkpoints. Even if they lose the match they will still be able to gain Notoriety.
