The Killjoy mission in Watch Dogs 2 is a race against time to stop Jason Fassbender from taking his own life after being targeted by the notorious Graystrom. This guide will walk you through each stage, from investigating his frozen accounts to intercepting him before it’s too late.
Step 1: Investigating Fassbender’s Bank Freeze
- Head to Jason Fassbender’s Bank:
- Use hacking tools to investigate why his accounts were frozen.
- Graystrom is the likely culprit.
- Confirm Suspicious Activity:
- Review financial transactions.
- Gather clues pointing to Graystrom’s involvement.
💡 Pro Tip: Use surveillance cameras to find evidence remotely before alerting anyone.
Step 2: Checking Fassbender’s Home
- Travel to His House:
- Avoid unnecessary attention—Graystrom might be monitoring the location.
- Use stealth and hacking tools to access security feeds.
- Investigate the Sabotage:
- Graystrom planted fake evidence of Fassbender cheating on his wife.
- An anonymous tip and a poorly photoshopped image caused his family to fall apart.
- Find Clues in His Social Media & Communications:
- Check his recent posts and messages for any signs of distress.
- Discover a cryptic post suggesting imminent self-harm.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep an eye on timestamps—small details can help you anticipate his next move.
Step 3: Tracking Fassbender’s Location
- Analyze the Photo He Posted:
- It’s taken from a tall building, looking down at the street.
- Use metadata to extract geolocation data.
- Pinpoint His Location & Rush to the Scene:
- Follow the coordinates on the map.
- Prepare for potential obstacles from security or authorities.
💡 Pro Tip: Get a fast vehicle and avoid unnecessary detours—time is critical.
Step 4: Stopping the Suicide Attempt
- Use His Phone to Delay Him:
- Call a contact to distract him while you get closer.
- Gain extra time by engaging him in a conversation.
- Check His Laptop for More Contacts:
- Look for someone he trusts to talk him down.
- Locate an email with a reporter who reached out to him.
- Call the Reporter:
- Provide Fassbender with reassurance and an alternative path forward.
- The reporter might give him a chance to expose Graystrom rather than give up.
💡 Pro Tip: If the first call doesn’t work, keep trying different approaches.
Step 5: The Aftermath – Turning the Tables on Graystrom
- Fassbender Steps Back from the Edge:
- He decides against ending his life.
- The new goal is to blow open the conspiracy.
- Gather & Leak More Evidence:
- Fassbender’s experience puts Graystrom on the defensive.
- Prepare for the next phase—public exposure of their crimes.
💡 Pro Tip: After completing the mission, stay tuned for follow-up objectives related to exposing Graystrom’s operations.
