Ubisoft has bolstered the Watch Dogs adventures with a brand new single-player DLC for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

The new DLC is packed with three single-player missions, unlockable weapons and perks.

Season Pass holders were able to receive the update a few weeks ago, but now everyone can purchase it for $7.

The three missions include The Palace, Signature Shot and Breakthrough.

The Palace requires an assault at an internet mogul's headquarters, to wipe out information of thousands of people, including Aiden Pierce, from the databank, and escape before the police raid happens.

Stealing the Biometrics Rifle from the Black Viceroys and imprinting the weapon before anyone else can is the main objective of Signature Shot.

Once Signature Shot is completed successfully, Biometrics Rifle, the weapon in question will be unlocked.

Breakthrough tasks the player with infiltrating a secret meeting between corporate CEOs and the Chicago South Club, and eliminate everyone taking part in the negotiations.

Aside from a long-range weapon in the quick rate-of-fire Biometrics Rifle, a new burst pistol is also introduced in this new DLC.

Other perks include Dedsec battery boost, Blume weapon boost, driving master boost and ATM hack boost.

Watch Dogs is an action adventure set in Chicago where a player assumes the role of Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and a former hooligan seeking justice for a violent tragedy that struck his family.

The game set a new record for the best new franchise launch in history with 4 million copies sold in just one week.

Creative Director Jonathan Morin related how the game was developed in order to create a different sense of freedom for players – to do what they feel like and explore endless environments.

"I invite players to play it the way they want," he says. "To explore the different ways of playing. To not necessarily follow the instincts they know from other games. To find your own fun in it. That's how Watch Dogs is meant to be played."
