How to unlock the Troll'r achievement

    You get this by going to your phone in game, then to the multiplayer option, then to Hacking Invasion. After this, you will be placed in someone's game and you must not be identified while remaining in a circle to hack them.

    I recommend standing up and circling around cars to avoid being scanned. The way I got it was by hovering around a van while the other player searched for me. Basically, just try to find the best hiding place in the circle. You can choose when to hack them, so might be smart to wait until you know a spot to hide.

    EDIT: To make this really easy, invade a friend. I let a friend fully hack me with the option in the multiplayer tab and he got the achievement.

    This can be boosted with a friend.

    - Open up your smartphone
    - Hit „Multiplayer“
    - Push „RB“ to get to the friends tab
    - Choose your buddy on the list by hitting A
    - Choose „Friend-Invasion“

    Now stand next to him, push LB and wait for the 100%.

    Your buddy must not target your char, because that aborts the hack and changes into escape-mode (cheevo failed).

    Attention: You must be alone before hacking your friend and not be in an online-session with him.

    MrFlores42Thanks for the tips... but this achievement looks to be glitchy, at least for me. Hacked around 5 players and nothing so far. Anyone had this problem?

    EDIT: Got it! It was a risky operation for me but it worked. If you're stuck like me, you have to delete your save as follows:

    1. Go to your Dashboard, select Watch Dogs 2 and then Manage your Game and Saves. Now go to Saves and delete your Internal Saves. If you don't mind losing ALL your progress, delete from the cloud too. If like me, you mind a lot, delete only the save from your console.

    2. Now this is the boring part, open up Watch Dogs 2, when the login screen comes up (Retr0 and password), press A. It will start syncing with the cloud, to recover your save. Press cancel so it doesn't. You'll have to play the beggining of the game with those unskippable cutscenes all the way to the HeadQuarter. After that, your phone will have the online options.

    3. Start a hack invasion, and you'll have to, of course, win it. Follow the tips from Dislodged Puma. If you succeed, the achievement will finally pop! Now, what I did and I recommend you do it, it's quickly turn off your router.

    4. After turning down your router, you can freely move around the Dashboard without the risk of it saving this on the Cloud. Repeat step 1 and delete your new internal save, without deleting that precious Cloud save. Now shutdown your Xbox completely or just unplug it. Turn on your Xbox, then your router and open Watch Dogs 2 again. Now at the login screen, let it sync. If everything went well, you'll have your Cloud save from before doing all this.

    Why is this risk? Because if your Xbox decides to save your game to the Cloud while you're doing this process, you're f***** because it'll have overwritten your precious save. The thing is you have to be connected to Xbox Live because the Hack Invasion has to be done online. Sorry for my english (not native), and I hope this helps someone.

    To start hacking another player, either bring up your phone and select multiplayer / hacking invasion or open the map and look for the purple hacking invasion marker and select it with X. The game spawns you in the other players world. They don't know you're there until you start hacking them, act in a strange way (hacking, reckless driving, shooting, ...) or if they try to start a mission (needs confirmation).

    You'll have to reach the full 100% (complete hack). Partially done and escaping when spotted does not count.

    And like in the first game, when the % increases, the circle shrinks. Plan ahead! If you hack them while in the middle of the road you gonna have a hard time, because the circle will cover just the road in the last bit.

    And be aware: Unlike the first game, the hack starts immediately when you press LB! The circle then spawns around you, not the target. You can use cameras or drones to your advantage.

    If the victim quits the game, the hack is counted as a win, but it is currently unknown if it unlocks the achievement.
