Now in some parts of the city, there are automatic turrets and protective drones that being controlled by the Chicago PD and the S.W.A.T and the player can hack them and use them for their advantage. But the player can't control it all the time. The player can only control them for 20 seconds but if the player has bought the skill to Increase the time, the time will be increased into 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 60 seconds, 75 seconds, and 90 seconds and there are 5 Skills to increase the time.

And now the player can assassinate a target or two from above and below the targets and the player will get a kill chain by using a combo moves like the one in Assassin's Creed series. And in the stealth mission, sometimes the player must pass a security camera without getting detected and the player can disable the camera for 10 seconds and the player can increase the time by unlock the skill to increase the time by buying it and there are 4 of them (15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, 30 seconds). In Watch_Dogs, Blackout is limited by time and now Blackout will be unlimited and the player can stop the blackout anytime they want.

The player can interact with the dynamic enivornment. Car doors can be opened and closed by the player to get a new cover. The player can analyse dead bodies and they will get the information of the dead bodies like, their names, cause of death, birth date and place and sometimes valuable informations or an access to locked buildings or houses. And because of the power of Snowdrop 2.0, 75% of the buildings and houses in the map are accessible and some of them will be locked and the player must find the access of the buildings or the houses but there are some of them that can be unlock by hacking the security system. And there will be no same/double NPC in the map.

The HUD is completely redesigned. On the left side there's the mini map and on the right bottom corner of the mini map, there's a tiny digital clock and above the mini map there is the Focus meter. On the right side, there are the picture of the weapon that the player use, the ammo, the grenades, the health meter and the body armor meter and the hacking features that the player use. Now the player can fly the helicopter.

And now the player can customize their weapons. Like adding the silencer, the scope, the kind of the magazine, the weapons's color and camo. And sometimes, weapon jam will happen and the character will fix it automatically. And now the player can bought their own house from the Internet or from the Real Estate agent. The A.I has been improved, for example if the player got hit by a vehicle or got into a car crash, some bystanders will take a photo of the accident, some of them will rush to help the player and if the player is okay. And if the player got hit by a car, the hitter will get out from his/her car and help the player or run away with his/her car and if the hitter run away some bystanders will call the cops. Different pedestrians will react differently to situations, some might have an emotional breakdown, fight back, or run away.
