What is money used for in Watch Dogs 2?

Money is used mostly for customisation, allowing you to buy new clothes from the game's many vendors (Clothing Shops, Vending Machines and Tourist Kiosks) as well as extra skins for vehicles you own.

Speaking of which, dealerships sell cars, bikes and other vehicles you can then request in the Car on Demand app, which cost from the tens to the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Of course, you can ignore this altogether, since you can steal a car easily from most locations, or fast travel to most areas. But if you have cash to spare, here's where you can spend it.

Cash is also used to buy new weapons from the 3D printer in a Hackerspace HQ, which holds arguably the most important purchase in Watch Dogs 2 - the Quadcopter. The remote controlled drone can be used to hack and survey targets from afar, and ends up being essential if you want to find every Key Data and for completing some of the later story missions.

However, it's not cheap, coming in at $67,500. But the sooner you get it, the easier things become in the game, and as such making money fast comes in handy.
