In Watch Dogs: Legion you’ll liberate the various boroughs of London from Albion’s oppression, and you’ll be richly rewarded for doing so. Flipping the boroughs to Defiant is a straight-forward affair, and doing so will unlock not only all the Tech Point locations for that area on your map, but a Skilled Operative as well.
Liberate Boroughs in Watch Dogs: Legion by clearing borough missions, then a curated special mission.
There are eight boroughs under Albion’s oppression in Watch Dogs: Legion, though the first handful of missions will see you flipping Camden to Defiant within the first hour. From here it’s on you to convert the other seven, and you can technically attack them in any order you so desire (though having a stable of operatives will make the task easier to accomplish). You’ll need to complete a handful of “red” regular missions that unlock a special mission that will completely flip the borough upon completion.
Defiant boroughs confer a couple of benefits. First, recruiting new operatives to Dedsec’s cause will be easier in Defiant boroughs. Second, you’ll reveal all the Tech Points available in the borough on the map (great for farming up Tech). Finally, you’ll recruit a Skilled Operative to you team, who is a special version of an existing class (such as the Spy earned for flipping the City of Westminster). If you are playing on permadeath these operatives can die, just so you know.
