The Sons of Ragnarok are a faction in Watch Dogs 2. They are a motorcycle-focused gang, and appear on bikes more often than other factions.
History[]
The Sons of Ragnarok began in 1948 with World War II ex-soldiers who began riding motorcycles together. They joined forces with an independent group in Oakland and have since become one of the largest outlaw gangs. They are a major distributor of heroin and smuggled weapons. The Sons of Ragnarok are predominantly white, and their close ties with the Aryan Nation and Aryan biker gangs in California have seen a spike in "white-only" chapters and members. They are now considered to be a terrorist organization, and sometimes work with Prime Eight.
Activities[]
The Sons of Ragnarok are major players in the methamphetamine trade market. They also profit millions of dollars yearly with a credit card skimming operation which they attempt to improve, unsuccessfully, with the help of Prime_Eight, while maintaining other dealings with the hacker group.

Trivia[]
- Despite being promoted as a simple rural roadhouse, Rhonda's Restaurant is a compound controlled by the Sons of Ragnarok. It's possible that this is their headquarters.
- The Sons of Ragnarok are the only illegal faction to have Elites. The elites wear a stahlhelm, sometimes adorned with a spike similar to a WW1-era pickelhaube, or two devilish horns, a helmet worn traditionally by German armed forces, most notably by Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.
- Conversely, they are also the only illegal faction not to have the Jammer in their ranks. However, this is because they use Prime_Eight Jammers instead.
- Ragnarok is the Nordic eschatology that represents the end of the world.
- The name of the club, its logo and origin as a group of war veterans creating an outlaw biker gang in California may be a reference to the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club from the television drama series of the same name. They could also be based on the real-life group Soldiers of Odin.
- SoR members may have a "1%ers" tattoo on their chest. This refers to a comment made by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, implying that the last one percent were outlaws.
- Their logo is a stylized animal skull of some sort, likely a wolf, with 2 stars (or pentagrams) at the bottom. This is likely a reference to the giant wolf Fenrir from Norse mythology, who during Ragnarok would be freed from his bounds and subsequently swallow the sun and devour Odin.
