7. Stealth Is Better Than Ever

Whilst firearm combat is still an option, stealth is highly recommended by the game's mechanics. Marcus's character works in tandem with the very notion of stealth and ice-cool calm infiltration, encouraging you to non-lethally dispose of enemies and/or use the stun gun.

The stun gun itself is also much more reliable than you might expect, reloading quickly and not needing any ammo, which makes it the best combat option by far. Hacking also plays a role, with the ability to hack enemy phones and surrounding electronics to help Marcus sneak around being one of the best to use in any given situation.

Sneaking around is also better than going in guns blazing. Not only does it allow you to take enemies down quickly and quietly, but also avoids attracting any backup. The difficulty of surviving gunfire in Watch Dogs 2 makes attacking head on a silly decision. Simply put, stealth is smarter, encouraged by the game and way more satisfying.
