to obtainWatchDogs Legion’s Meta-Gaming trophy players must recruit a Video Game Designer to their teams. While this task may seem quite straightforward, locating a Video Game Designer inWatch Dogs Legioncan prove fairly challenging, and indeed some fans may find themselves stuck trying to earn this achievement. Fortunately, there is a method that makes recruiting a Video Game Designer very easy, and players can find full details in this guide.

To get right to it, the easiest way to recruit a Video Game Designer is to start a new game and select them as aFirst Operative inWatch Dogs Legion. Indeed, it is possible for this type of operative to appear among the preliminary lineup of characters, and players should simply restart their games repeatedly until they find one. Before fans do this, though, they should make absolutely sure that they have properly backed up their saves, as restarting will overwrite any progress that they have made.

Once a Video Game Designer shows up as a possible First Operative, players should recruit them in order to unlock the Meta-Gamingtrophy inWatch Dogs Legion. From there, fans can restore their previous save files to pickup where they left off, or they can start an entirely new playthrough if they wish to. For those players that choose the second option, activatingWatch Dogs Legion’s permadeathsetting may be a good way to spice up a new run.

Of course, this is not the only way to get the Meta-Gaming achievement, andplayers that are not comfortable with the method outlined above can instead try to recruit a Video Game Designer directly from the map. Some fans suggest that theseWatch Dogs Legioncharactershave a proclivity for spawning in Southwark and Lambeth, and players may want to begin their searches there. However, even if a player targets those areas they should still expect to scan a significant number of characters before finding a Video Game Designer.

To note, the Meta-Gaming achievement is not the only one that centers around recruiting certain operatives, and players that want to unlock the Platinum trophy will need to recruit characters likeWatch Dogs Legion’s Beekeeperand Spy. That said, many of those operatives can be unlocked by simply turning the various boroughs defiant and completing associated missions, making them quite a bit easier to obtain than the somewhat-elusive Video Game Designer.
