Watch Dogs City Hotspots Locations Guide

The Watch Dogs City Hotspots are the most accessible collectibles in the video game, because you don’t have to hack any devices to find them; however, since there are 100 Hotspots in Watch Dogs, they require time and patience.

A City Hotspot in Watch Dogs is in fact a point of interest that marks the location of an important landscape in Chicago.

There are 100 landscapes you have to visit in order to unlock the Geolocated achievement/trophy.

Unlike other collectibles (Audio Logs, ctOS Breach Contracts, Privacy Invasions), the Watch Dogs hot-spots appear on your map, without having to hack the ctOS Towers; therefore, you can find all of them during the first act of the video-game.

To collect all Hot Spots in Watch Dogs, first you have to find their locations, then travel to the marked area and check-in by pressing up on your D-Pad.

When you get close to a Hot Spot you will receive a short message on the screen, informing you that the landscape is nearby and that you can check-in.

A common problem reported by players is that they can find specific City Hot-Spots in Watch Dogs, and the following guide was created to help you visit all of them.

The guide contains the maps for all districts in the game, as you can see below. On each map you will find the City Hotspots marked along with other collectables. The numbers next to these hot-spots coincide with those listed below, and they respect the same order.

To successfully use our guide, first make sure that the number of City Hot-Spots you have found within a district, coincides with the number of hot-spots we have found. If it doesn’t, check the locations on our maps and compare them to the locations of your map in the game.

Alternatively, if you miss a City Hotspot in Watch Dogs, open Aiden’s Phone and in the menu go to City Hotspots.  Next, check if the landscapes you visited coincide with those listed below, by name.
