Watch Dogs 2 puts you in the shoes of hacker Marcus Holloway across the San Francisco Bay Area, mixing parkour, gunplay, drones and phone hacks. The keys below are the defaults Ubisoft showed in its PC mouse-and-keyboard guide (the game's Customize Controls screen and its in-game tutorials), and the controller buttons come from the game's Default gamepad diagram.
