After being released, they formed the group to fight corporate corruption through the only way they knew how: cyber warfare. However, it’s believed that its founders were engineers who unwillingly took legal liability for their private security firm employers’ atrocities. The history of the organization can be as blurry as its members’ faces on CCTV footage. This portrayal perfectly describes their role in the Watch Dogs franchise as well.

The DedSec’s members are cyber attackers who believe in dismantling the systems of power, according to XDefiant’s official description of the faction.

Players who place their Spiderbots in unpredictable places can catch opponents off-guard, and it would be an easy kill once the spider latches onto them. Speaking of retakes, DedSecs can also deny enemies from doing so with a well-timed Lockout. A DedSec could also control an opponent Phantom’s Mag Barrier in XDefiant at a capture zone, rendering their team defenseless against a retake.

For example, one could Hijack an opponent Libertad’s El Remedio canister to stop them from healing to full HP. While players don’t have to be geniuses like XDefiant’s hackers, they need to play smart to get the most value out of the faction’s abilities. It disables nearby enemies’ abilities, minimaps, and heads-up displays. Lastly, DedSec’s Ultra ability is called Lockout, which is similar to Killjoy’s Lockdown ult in Valorant. This class can also hack deployed enemy abilities, like the Cleaners’ Incinerator Drone, and make it their own through the Hijack skill. This gadget hugs the nearest enemy's face and stuns them. For active abilities, DedSec has the most frightening one: the Spiderbot. The class’ passive trait, Fabricator, 3-D prints gadgets after they’re deployed. The hackers of the DedSec faction are masters of sabotage, perfect for players who like playing mind games with the enemy team.
