Save Slot Unlock Progress
In Watch Dogs: Legion you can enable permadeath mode, so some fans have wondered if they they can save-scum around painful losses. Well, do I have news for them! The short answer: nope. You can save and load progress from the game’s start menu, but if you were hoping to manically generate manual saves to circumvent the Reaper’s cold embrace then you’ll need to make peace with your operators’ mortality prior to enabling permadeath.
Press Down on the D-pad to move the temporary Suspend Point to a save slot in the Suspend Point List, then press A to save it. The temorary Suspend Point highlighted over the second save slot in.
Watch Dogs: Legion will save constantly in the background.
Watch Dogs: Legion has adopted a persistent save system, meaning the game will constantly save your progress in the background. It doesn’t matter if you have permadeath on or off: there are no manual saves in Watch Dogs: Legion. You can’t even pick a specific auto-save to load if you want to roll back to a moment prior to disaster. You’re committed to your choices in near-future London.
- From our experience, this system is fairly rigorous, saving pretty much after you open a chest, reach a checkpoint, unlock a new shortcut, or defeat an enemy. You can tell the game’s saving your.
- While doing these you will unlock 'Collections' in most collections the first thing you unlock is a minion, when you unlock the recipe for any minion I would recommend crafting it as it would help with minion slots These 2 skills will be essential to level up (At least to level 7 as they are two of the requirements to access bazaar).
Seeing as the game had a habit of crashing on me whenever I even mildly overclocked my CPU, I got to witness the aggressiveness of the auto-save feature first-hand. Legion was pretty damned good about creating a save right before each crash, so I’d often resume right where I left off (though not in the middle of a restricted area or mission; the game returns you to a location outside those events if you close out within them).
You do get three save slots, however, so you can have a regular playthrough, a permadeath run, and even a Hard-difficulty Ironman save on one account. These can be uploaded or downloaded from the cloud via Ubisoft Connect (you will need to sign into your Ubisoft account first), so you can at least backup your saves. I know, that’s nowhere near the same as save-scumming, but at least you can play Watch Dogs: Legion with some peace of mind.
