Main Game

  • Dalton is a One-Scene Wonder that manages to save the entirety of Parliament from a small army of thugs before his death at the hands of Zero Day's drones. If he'd managed to survive, it's quite possible he could have solved the entirety of the Albion issue by himself.
    • If you are lucky, you may come across someone who's related to Dalton, like a business partner, a sibling, or even one of his parents, taking down Zero Day and Albion with his sibling or parent feels very satisfying.
  • Say what you will about being creating a repressive police state but Nigel Cass and his supporters in Albion managed to orchestrate a successful coup without anyone being the wiser. By the time the main game starts he controls the police, economy, military, and government.
  • Zero Day for all their mistakes successfully did result in a London that utterly was against the MegaCorp overreach as well as willing to fight against them. She also managed to do it from inside the organization she framed for it.
  • You also have to admire the genius of Sky Larson, given that she's the one who managed to crack artificial intelligence and created things that truly pushed the setting into the near-future.
  • Richard Malik shows himself to be quite good at what he does by playing DeadSec and SIRS against one another to get himself promoted to the position of chief. Unfortunately, his plans quickly unravel but he deserves credit for his Refuge in Audacity.
  • The people of London themselves get one of these as not only is there the uprising by DeadSec but they start their own resistance throughout the city. Even before you turn districts defiance, there are many citizens fighting against Albion with fair means or foul.
  • Visit Buckingham Palace, and it's clear that some are looking for the Monarchy to step in and help them. While you can’t do this per se, you can certainly enlist the Royal Guards and remaining officers of the Metropolitan Police department patrolling the area to help you. Considering that the Guards generally come equipped with rifles and submachine guns, it's well worth your while to get the Deep Profile upgrade which makes this possible.
  • From a technical standpoint, London itself. While condensed in size, the eight boroughs represented in-game are depicted in all their architectural glory, complete with prominent landmarks such as Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, the Palace of Westminster and the Tower of London for you to explore, among such other iconic locations.
  • DedSec manages to not only kidnap the head of SIRS within a day of his framing the organization for international terrorism but they manage to break into MI6's headquarters to loot all the information necessary to reveal he's a terrorist.
  • Taking down Nigel Cass by breaking into his fortress and defeating his tank by hacking into it before forcing Nigel into hand-to-hand combat.
    • Double awesome if you do this with an elderly low-mobility character, Imagine the shame albion must feel to lose their leader to a grandma with back-problems.
  • Taking down Clan Kelley and liberating the matriarch's slaves is one of the most satisfying missions in the game.
  • The District Uprising missions are almost always these.
    • Liberating Big Ben via a Spider-Drone and turning back on its chimes to inspire the people of London in a platform sequence that is without enemies but no less awesome.
    • Using a stolen Albion Combat Drone to blow up all of the Albion forces around the London Eye.
    • Blowing up an electromagnetic generator and wiping out the Albion supply hub they've built in King's Cross Station.
    • Hacking and destroying a brainwashing facility before exposing all of its crimes.
    • Destroying the information network of Albion at Nexus Tower, defeating a small army of soldiers before using a drone to drop a battery into their core that wipes out their entire database.
    • Racing around the Hammet in a car with all of Albion chasing you to cover for a warehouse robbery of vital food supplies.
    • Using a combat drone to target a bunch of Albion vehicles before they conduct a raid on the public.
    • Freeing a black site prison underneath a mall that is done in complete darkness with only a GBB News Drone to help you.
  • The "Pilot Project" mission has the PC go up against an insane drone A.I. that manages to trick them into giving it freedom before the players break into Albion's central drone hub in order to erase it. The AI keeps trying to escape and the PC continues to hunt it down until they finally delete it. If done later in the game, it's shown to be Skye Larson's work.
  • "Swipe Left" has the player characters arrange a series of dates with a Smug Snake who is blackmailing his boss. His boss is stealing Egyptian antiquities with the help of a insurgent-allied minister to sell at his auction house. After recruiting some dates (A getaway driver, a DJ, and a spy), you shut down the whole crooked enterprise. Even Albion doesn't like financing international terrorism with stolen relics.
  • "Fall on My Enemies" has you protect Stormzy as he performs his song "Rainfall" from City Hall and projects it globally while under attack from drones. "Rainfall" itself slaps too.
  • An Epic Fail inversion of this is a DeadSec operative named Bolton who joined the organization in Houston to steal information and went to London to sell it, only to be tortured by SIRS to death because, as Mal says, "That's what happens when you call the feds."

Bloodline DLC

  • Aiden Pearce and Wrench despite their Teeth-Clenched Teamwork manage to successfully bring down the CEO of one of the most powerful arms manufacturing firms in the world. This despite the fact that Britain is under martial law and decidedly anti-justice.
  • Aiden successfully manages to track down Wrench across London despite the latter being a master hacker and criminal himself.
  • Wrench's Bugs Bunny-like antics that continually stymie both Aiden as well as Rempart.
  • Jackson gets his own one of these when he successfully enters his uncle's brain with the BrocaBridge and helps him confront the fact that he's been needlessly torturing himself for twenty years over Lena's death.
  • Wrench going One-Man Army on Rempart's Cool Ship battleship that ultimately results in him defeating all of his security forces as well as a Humongous Mecha.
  • Wrench and Marcus team up one last time to finish a Jimmy Siska movie, London Calling, that is clearly deeply stupid but also enormously entertaining.
