9 Characters Worth Recruiting in Watch Dogs: Legion

Near-future London is under threat from terrorists, a private army, and an organised crime syndicate. It's up to hacktivist group DedSec to rally the citizens of London to fight back. Here's a look at some of the characters worth recruiting in Watch Dogs: Legion. Sponsored by Ubisoft and Xbox Series X.

“9 characters worth recruiting” Me: Lists 9 types of elderly people

[@basvanheumen4231]

It's a shame though that most eldery people in the game aren't allowed to participate in the bareknuckle boxingring. Still, some elders certainly pack a punch of firepower. They may have low mobility, but some have LMG's to compensate for that. Also, the Queen probably isn't in the game, but I guess we can find an elderly woman who looks a lot like her and pretend it's her.

unfortunately that ain't gonna happen, as nice of an idea as it is, unless you're playing multiplayer with backstabbing friends, all missions have you playing as one operative at a time. so no, you can't storm a building with your DedSec army.
