How to get more Tech Points in Watch Dogs: Legion
By completing disruption missions in certain boroughs, Tech Points become more available. At the start of the game, when you make Camden ‘Defiant’, all the locations of the Tech Points are revealed, even if you haven’t explored that specific street yet.
To do this in more boroughs, complete disruption missions to make them Defiant. Press M to open your map, and head to the red markers. These include rescuing freedom fighters, disrupting propaganda, killing VIPs, sabotaging vehicles, and more. With each mission you complete, you can free areas from oppression. By putting ‘DedSec is here’ posters up, apparently.
Once you’ve liberated an area, Tech Points are shown on the map screen, so just head over there, sneak into whatever restricted area they’re in, and grab them. You can pick up Tech Points with Spiderbots and drones too, so get in there by any means possible.
Sometimes, the game wants you to go a specific route though. I went up to a tower and tried to grab them from the open window using a cargo drone I levitated up the outside. Despite being in my character's reach, it refused to let me grab the Tech Points until I went up the inside of the tower. If you're struggling to get the points then, think of another route the game might want you to take.
