Watch Dogs: Legion’s Recruiting Is Hilarious

Watch Dogs: Legion is an open-world game set in London where you recruit almost anyone and add their funny, useful, and eccentric skills to your team’s roster.

In trailers for the game, Ubisoft has advertised that you can recruit practically anyone in Watch Dogs Legion. Of course, that doesn't mean you should.

In the video above, we walk through some of our favorite recruits. These men and women are the best of the best (in our humble opinion, anyway), and we encourage you to keep an eye out for them when you jump into Watch Dogs Legion.

When Ubisoft says that you can recruit almost anyone in Watch Dogs Legion, the developer means it. Our list of favorite recruits includes a shit-kicking granny (yes, it's that one--you've all seen her), a 70-year dominatrix with a powerful spiked bat, a gold-colored performance artist, and a sex worker with a mean spending habit.

Each brings their own unique skill set to the table, whether that's silently taking out enemies, antagonizing guards, hacking computers, sabotaging equipment, beating baddies to a pulp, or pulling off perfect shots in the middle of a firefight. Humans are inherently flawed though. So recruits can have notable weaknesses too--some are just for laughs but others can pose genuine problems that you'll have to consider before putting them into the field. 

Watch Dogs Legion launches for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on October 29. Want to play the game on next-gen? You'll have to wait a bit longer--Legion releases for Xbox Series X|S on November 10 and PS5 on November 12.

I'm happy that ubisoft didn't just stick to their regular formula with barely any changes. Now this game actually feels special and no other game has ever done before

I'm glad they didn't give up on this franchise.

Every damn good game had to release in November, didn't it ?
EDIT: Okay, not every game. Something got delayed until December. Sigh.

@1:00 can I recruit the entire Monty python crew or just John Cleese?

[Baraz_Red]

Have they reduced the probability of having the same dialogues and voices within the first 10 recruits?

[thewewguyt]

In the immortal words of Blind Guardian: VALHALLA!

[rahmanishtiaquejoy]

[Skinned_fried_n_cut_up_potato]

I feel like someone’s gonna be like “ unlimited money glitch “ and just tell you to dance in public place

[nicholasnguyen]

Aand this is why I love legion… . If you die, you have more than one life; depending on how many recruits you have

[zeidanbaagil]

The living statyu guy can also hide from persuers

[miketrinkler]

wait.. if you die, do you lose that person you recruited? do you have to search for another one again?

[DrGhoztz]

“Born in Sunderland, England” *Its a fucking nope from me, then*

[davidhardcore]

Is there a limit on how many ppl you can recruit ? Is it like Pokémon where you can catch them all and have a huge collection ?
