Main missions[]

Act I[]

A hit was ordered on Aiden Pearce and Damien Brenks after the failed Merlaut Hotel heist, and Maurice Vega was hired to kill Aiden, but ended up killing Lena Pearce, niece of Aiden. One year later, Aiden seeks revenge to find out who ordered the hit on him. During this period, he finds himself reuniting with Nicole and Jackson, and after a call hit Nicole, he aims to trace the source of the caller. He also makes contact with Clara Lille, a DedSec hacker under the name Badboy17, and Lucky Quinn, leader of the Chicago South Club.

There are 9 missions in this act.

Act II[]

What appears to be a normal revenge turns out to be a ransom from Damien Brenks, after kidnapping Nicky. Damien demands a ransom, by tracing an IP address, and retrieving the data in the IP. He finds himself encountering the Black Viceroys, and the Bunker, the first ctOS test site, and meets Tobias Frewer, a ctOS pioneer. He also sees an auction by Lucky Quinn, which turns out to be a human trafficking ring.

There are 15 missions in this act.

Act III[]

The data retrieved from Rossi-Fremont is locked by an encryption made by Raymond Kenney, the creator of ctOS, and Aiden and Clara must find him in order to decrypt it. Upon encountering Kenney, under the name of "T-Bone", Kenney reaches out to Aiden as a whistleblower of Blume to wipe his data about him, in order to help Aiden decrypt the data. After helping out Kenney with the wipeout, Aiden storms in to Rossi-Fremont and retrieve all the data, and kills Iraq. Aiden also encounters Damien, who demands access to ctOS in exchange for T-Bone's whereabouts.

There are 7 missions in this act.

Act IV[]

While decrypting the data, which contains blackmail on all Chicago citizens, an unknown hacker deletes all the data, leaving Aiden without the ransom to save Nicky. Damien threatens Aiden by displaying news reports about him, attracting the police and the public. Aiden retrieves the data from Defalt, a professional hacker under the name JB Marcowicz and rescues Nicky to safety. Fearing for the safety of his family, Aiden evacuates Nicky and Jackson out of Chicago, and kills Quinn, the one who ordered the hit one year ago on Aiden and Damien.

There are 7 missions in this act.

Act V[]

Since the data is no use since Nicky is saved, Aiden gives it all away to the public, revealing secrets on the death of Rose Washington, because of Mayor Rushmore. Damien is infuriated about this, and challenges Aiden in a citywide destruction using ctOS. In retaliation, Aiden shuts down ctOS with T-Bone, plunging the city in a blackout, and kills Damien, and injures Jordi after a brief encounter.

There is only 1 mission in this act.

Epilogue[]

With Damien gone, Nicole and Jackson safe, Jordi in the wind and Dedsec put in their place. Aiden returns to Maurice at last and must decide once and for all his fate. There can be two endings to this mission, based entirely on player choice.

There is only 1 epilogue mission.
