The first Watch Dogs generated a ton of hype before release, only for Ubisoft to scale back when it came to the graphics and deliver an experience that was mediocre at best. However, Ubisoft decided to learn from its mistakes, and changed the tonality of Watch Dogs 2's story to fit the setting even more.
The result was a great game that fans would easily have a great time with. With the release of Watch Dogs 2 on Xbox Game Pass, it's clear that fans will have a great time blasting through the streets of San Francisco and hacking everything in sight. Players who want to purchase everything possible in the game should check out the best ways to make all this moolah.
7 Hack Everyone's Bank Account
The simplest and most straightforward way to earn money is to hack into every pedestrian's bank account. Some people are bound to have more money than others, which is hinted at in their profiles.
Players need to be very patient while making these thefts since it can take quite a lot of time to amass enough money to buy most of the items in the game. If players are getting bored hacking into people's accounts over and over again, then there are other avenues to earn a ton of money.
6 Visit The Pawn Shop Frequently
Papa B's Pawn Shop is a place where players can sell any item that isn't required, usually for a decent chunk of money. If players have a ton of spare items and useless valuables in their inventory, then they should definitely visit the pawn shop sooner rather than later.
Players can also rob this pawn shop to get some cash, although this can lead to many complicated ramifications further down the line. It's better to maintain a good reputation and use these stores to earn some quick money on the side.
5 Complete The Driver SF Missions
The Driver SF missions are a pretty unique part of Watch Dogs 2 that essentially turn Marcus into a glorified Uber driver. Players need to take their passengers to designated locations within a certain time frame to get the highest rating possible.
Players should ideally pick a fast car that handles well to save time. A full 5-star rating nets the most cash for the player, so they should try and drive within a particular speed limit while also avoiding unpleasant crashes.
4 Breaking Into Armored Trucks
Patch 1.13 for Watch Dogs 2 added a new random event that spawned a loaded armored truck into the world that players could rob. Engaging in this impromptu heist can be rewarding if players manage to accomplish this theft with flying colors.
Players need to take down the armored truck's escort, loot the truck, and escape from the police to get this payout. Failing in any one of these steps will basically lead to wasted efforts from the player's end.
3 Finding Bags Of Money

Many places in Watch Dogs 2 have random bags of money that are just lying around. Players who comb each and every corner of this massive map will find a ton of these money bags, resulting in a substantial payout.
These money bags are also present in the various gang hideouts present in the game. A combination of scouring the map and clearing these gang hideouts will lead to players accumulating a decent amount of cash in a short while.
2 Participate In Races
The world of San Francisco has many activities that players can engage with in Watch Dogs 2. These include the various races that Marcus can participate in to get a decent amount of cash.
Players need to complete these races as soon as possible to earn the highest payout. These races encompass a bunch of vehicles that players need to get used to, such as cars, motorbikes, and boats to name a few.
1 Exploit A Trick In The "Eye For An Eye" Mission
If players don't want to earn money through legitimate means, then there's an exploit they can utilize to make the most money possible in a relatively short amount of time. After all, the legitimate ways to earn money in the game can make players wait a long time before they can purchase some meaningful upgrades.
In the "Eye for an Eye" mission, players will be tasked with hacking the bank account of a man named Pablo Cortes to gain a total of $18,000. This is where the exploit begins — players need to quickly reload a checkpoint after performing this hack. This will lead to the man still having the money in his account while Marcus' balance shows the $18,000 that he'd stolen before. Repeat this tactic as much as possible to get a ton of money and purchase all the high-end gear and equipment in the game.
