In Watch Dogs: Legion, you are tasked with overthrowing an oppressive surveillance state. In order to carry out this task, you will need guns to fight the many private mercs that now control the streets of London. Luckily, in this guide, I will explain how and where to get your hands on some guns in Watch Dogs: Legion.

How to Get Guns in Watch Dogs: Legion

In short, the only way to get guns in Watch Dogs: Legion is by recruiting new characters in the game. Along with this, each character type will have their own set of skills and a weapon. To find a character in the game that has a gun, you will need to check each potential recruit to see what they have available. Luckily in the list below, you can find a list of special characters with specific guns.

The Best Characters With Guns in the Game

  • Hitman – you can find this character in Nine Elms borough once it turns defiant. The Hitman will come will also come equipped with perhaps the best pistol in the game, the desert eagle.
  • Construction Worker – The Construction Worker can be found in any construction site early on in Watch Dogs: Legion. If you recruit them you will gain access to their nail gun, which serves as a one-shot kill weapon.
  • Spy – next up is the spy and they can be found in the city of Westminster borough once it turns defiant. If you recruit them, you will gain access to a silenced p9 which is very useful for silently taking out enemies.

Other characters that will give the player access to guns are weapon dealers, police offers, and security guards. Keep an eye out for these specific character types when playing Watch Dogs: Legion. Once you get a character with a gun, you might be surprised when you find out that you can’t transfer the weapons between characters. This is an intended feature as you are meant to switch between characters when you want to use a new gun. However, you can still get nonlethal weapons via the team menu. Unfortunately, these only work substantially well against drones.
