How to unlock the That Escalated Quickly achievement

    I had some issues in trying to get the DLC to begin, so this solution will address that if others experience the same issues.

    After installing the DLC (it appears as 'DLC3' in the Manage Game section for Watch Dogs 2), the Moscow Gambit may be listed in the DedSec App as 'DLC Operation' with the text "Operation to be unlocked". It states that you must complete the 'Hacker War' operation in order to unlock Moscow Gambit. The issue is that it will state this even if you have already completed Hacker War.

    If you have this same issue, simply select the Hacker War operation from the DedSec App, select the 'Bunker Bust' mission and choose to replay it. Once you complete this fairly short mission, you should finally be contacted to begin the Moscow Gambit operation.

    EDIT: MathNotEvenOnce says that it is actually the first mission of Hacker War that you must replay. If that is the case, then the solution still holds but you must instead replay the first mission. If you are still not contacted to start Moscow Gambit, then you should replay Bunker Buster as well. In either case, replaying the mission will allow you to start Moscow Gambit.

    The Moscow Gambit operation itself consists of 5 fairly short and fun missions, which are:
    1. Cheeky Bastard
    2. Under Pressure
    3. Corrective Measures
    4. Cripple the Bratva
    5. A Grand Finale

    Once you complete the finale mission, enjoy the fireworks show and your 40G achievement.

    TonySkiThis one was weird to unlock. I beat the mission around 11 pm central time with no unlock. Played through some other missions and restarted the game to beat the final mission again. Still No unlock. Now at 3PM the next day doing the Bad Medicine missions it randomly unlocked while Jordi was talking shit in the pickup truck.

    So it will unlock! Eventually...

    Durango55Not my solve, but I found this worked for me...

    If you're stuck because you can't trigger the conversation with Sitara, go to the bed just past Wrench and there is a bottle of beer there. When you get use the sue option, click it and you will be able to continue with the mission.

    How the faulty mission marker ever got though play testing I will never understand.

    forevabootlessSo I replayed the missions mentioned above still didn't unlock so I clicked on the DLC and it says play first mission then wait to be contacted by dedsec member which I did as soon as the conversation was over the DLC popped up on my screen it was now unlocked so try that if your struggling.

    TenebrousXbxI tried replaying the first mission of Hacker War but it wouldn't let me. I replayed the final mission of Hacker War called Bunker Bust, after completing the mission I fast traveled to get ammo and waited about a minute then Moscow Gambit unlocked.
