Clear out the militia watchtowers on the rooftops that are trying to Occupy Gotham in Batman: Arkham Knight.
The militia sets up watchtowers near the end of Chapter 3 to control the skies of Gotham City in Batman: Arkham Knight. Your objective as part of the Occupy Gotham side mission will be to clear the fortified camps on the rooftops.
Unlike the checkpoints in the Own the Roads mission, you will have to rely on stealth to clear the watchtowers. Deactivate the drones (if any) to sneak past the soldiers and destroy the central command console using your Explosive Gel to demilitarize the area.
There are a total of 21 watchtowers for Occupy Gotham. Four of them will only become available after you reach the GCPD showdown in the main storyline. We recommend going after them as early as possible because you get free WayneTech Upgrade Points for completing the watchtowers. Bleake Island
Watchtower #1
Location: Chinatown, west of Urbarail Station.
Coordinates: 1959, 1944
There are a couple of Gun Emplacements stationed outside the building with two unarmed soldiers inside. Glide toward the window and dive-kick the enemy before destroying the central command center.
Watchtower #2
Location: The Cauldron, southwest of the traffic circle.
Coordinates: 1922, 2471
This watchtower is one of the trickier ones you will find around in Batman: Arkham Knight. It is guarded by 7 armed enemies. Grapple to a high point on the south side and use the RHD to Sabotage the Boa drone operator then drop each soldier with a Silent Takedown or Fear Multi-Takedown before diverting your attention to the console. Make sure to take out the medic first so as not to let him revive his teammates.
Watchtower #3
Location: The Cauldron, opposite the police station.
Coordinates: 2130, 2614
Use the Remote Hacking Device to blind the optics on the sentry gun placed atop the watchtower. This gives you 60 seconds to deal with all the enemies present this includes 3 brutes, one with a shock stick. Make use of your Disruptor to disable the shock stick and make the fight a bit easier by dropping a smoke pellet.
Next, drop down to initiate a Fear Multi-Takedown before taking on the brutes. Now, all you need to do is focus on one brute at a time. Do a Cape Stun followed by a Beatdown while countering the attacks from other enemies. Do this for all the remaining enemies and you should be able to make it just before the Sentry gun comes back online.
Watchtower #4
Location: The Cauldron, roof of Sionis Industries.
Coordinates: 2198, 2779
This watchtower can be a pain to deal with given the tricky lineup of enemies, especially the minigunner. Use the RHD to Sabotage the Boa drone operator before anything else. Use the Disruptor to sabotage the guns of the armed enemies including the minigunner and Silent Takedowns to pick them up one by one and remember that 2 enemies have Optical Camo and won’t be detected by your Detective Mode.Miagani Island
Watchtower #1
Location: Kingston, west of Mercy Bridge.
Coordinates: 2738, 2656
This ‘Occupy Gotham’ watchtower is best dealt with using a predator approach. Make sure to sabotage the guns of the minigunner and armed enemies.
Isolate enemies and use Silent Takedowns to eliminate them.
