What's Inside Bloodline, How to play

According to PSLS, the Bloodline expansion sets itself before the events of Legion and re-introduces Aiden Pearce, a gray hat the protagonist of Watch Dogs and Wrench, one of the hackers involved in Watch Dogs 2.

Now Aiden needs to team up with his nephew to take on against the corporate giant, but with Wrench unpredictably joining in the fray, things will not be easy for the two.

According to Twinfinite.net, the expansion itself will bring new abilities for both Aiden and Wrench. Aiden now has Focus, which can initiate slow-mo aiming after takedown, System Crash, which it can disable electronics in the area, and Gunslinger, which a well-timed reload can buff damage.

Wrench also has a new set of skills in his disposal. With Summon Sergei, he can summon a Custom Drone in an area, while with Ninja Balls, he can launch mini LTL Flashbangs, and Lady Smash, which he can wield a big custom hammer.

Bloodline, according to Pure Xbox, will have 10 Main Missions with 19 Side Missions, all of which can be played either as Aiden or Wrench. On these missions, they will encounter a new enemy type in the form of Rempart Robots.

Both Aiden and Wrench can also be added to the DedSec crew, and they can be able to count on them in both single player and multiplayer gameplay.

Bloodline + Legion's Title Update 5.0 Release
