How to unlock the Hackification achievement in Watch Dogs - Definitive Guide

This multiplayer game mode will not unlock until you've completed the first half of the 'Backseat Driver' mission in Act 1. You'll also need the Online Invasions setting set to 'On', for you to be able to take part in this mode. From the main game, bring up your Smartphone and select the 'Online Contracts' App. From here, select 'Online Hacking' then finally select 'Request Hacking Target'.

The mode places you into another persons game, from where you'll technically be invading and are required to hack them. This is very similar to what you do in the single-player, but the only difference is that the person you're trying to hack will be looking for you. Once you've found your target, you can start the hack. From here, you'll have 1 minute before the hack starts to take place, so you'll have a chance to get away and hide.

Once the process begins, a blue circle will show up on your screen and this will be the an indication of the area you're supposed to stay in and the area the target will also be searching. Your task from here is to try your best not to bet caught and get your hack up to 100%. This task gets a little harder as for every 25% past on the hack, the containment circle gets a little smaller. You can hide on ground levels, all the way up onto the roofs if you can reach them, and gadgets are also permitted.

You can view how many you have left if you bring up your Smartphone, select the 'Statistics' App and then press to access the 'Progression' menu.

This is an online trophy and requires you to hack other players. If you hit the (Touchpad) or on the PS3 and hit or , it will bring you to the online contracts menu or you can select online contracts from the phone directly by hitting . You will need to select Online Hacking for this, this is a 1 versus 1 event where you will need to seek out the other player and hack their phone. Once you start hacking you will see a progress bar showing you how long until your hack is complete. You are unable to harm your opponent at any time.

To successfully steal the data, you have to avoid being profiled by your victim. You will need to stay well hidden, however, that's easier said than done. On your victim's screen, there will be a purple circle showing your approximate location. At 25, 50 and 75%, the circle will become smaller until there's a very small search area for your opponent.

Winning Tip: Find your target but before initiating the hack, find a van/SUV and park it somewhere inconspicuous. Any vehicle will work, but the taller vehicles provide better protection from height and prevents him from quick sliding over the hood and spotting you. Now just try to keep your eyes open for the other player and crouch behind the vehicle. As he's running around, just keep crouched behind the vehicle and move around it keeping the vehicle between you and your target. You can even see his purple target icon through the van but he won't be able to see you unless he has actual line of sight.

In the video below I show you how easy it is to win by just hiding around the outside of a vehicle:
