** Missing Persons: Taking down a serial killer.

* Aidan rescuing Nicky from Damien's thugs.
* In the last mission, Aidan using his phone to distract Jordi and knock him out and then shooting Damien.
* Aidan and T-Bone's fight against the Pawnee militia, using T-Bone's crazy traps to take them down while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCh9OhDiCI "Jesus Built My Hotrod"]] by "Ministry" is playing in the background.
* Aidan taking down the Viceroys at "the bricks" with I.E.D.s while Wu Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M. is playing. Bonus points in that if you know how to make Proximity Charges, you can have ''twice'' the boom.

* The ''11 Months Later'' scene in the beginning. Right after the hit it does a TimeSkip to under Not-Wrigley Field and Aiden is [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique questioning Maurice, the trigger man, on the hit.]] After he's down, Aiden opens the door and you see about a dozen dead gang members, dead by Aiden's hand.

** The beautiful part about this is that there's no explanation. Aiden doesn't shout out the solution; no on screen prompt appears explaining how the pacemaker can kill him. No, it just appears as something you can hack, and the player puts 2 and 2 together for the most satisfying hack in the game.

* How Aiden kills Lucky Quinn at the climax. He thinks he's invincible since none of Aiden's weapons [[note]]not even six consecutive auto-shotgun blasts or the anti-matter rifle[[/note]] can penetrate his safe room, and he even made most of the safe room hack-proof. Lucky gloats about how he is invincible, considering that he killed people more badass than Aiden, and suddenly you get a prompt to open up the profiler. The profiler and clues in the room indicate that Lucky has a failing heart, which is normal for an old man... then you get that one evil moment to realize that ''his pacemaker is connected to ctOS.'' [[KickTheSonOfABitch Enjoy]].

** T-Bone's traps return in the Bad Blood DLC, now with amusing names such as "T-Bomb" and "The Politician," and [[UpToEleven as well as a whole bunch of smaller traps which shoot off fireworks and other explosives]], which you can once again use as many times as you like when fixers working for Defalt invade the hideout.

* How Aiden kills Lucky Quinn at the climax. He thinks he's invincible since none of Aiden's weapons (not even six consecutive auto-shotgun blasts or the anti-matter rifle, tried it) can penetrate his safe room, and he even made most of the safe room hack-proof. So Aiden just hacks HIM to death.

[[KickTheSonOfABitch Enjoy]].

* Aiden getting himself arrested. He just walks into the Jail where the witness for the gang massacre is, and pulls out his gun and just hands it over to the cops. The entire thing progressed ''so quick'' without any fuss. And then he almost as easily breaks out, either by gunning down almost every dirty cop in the jail or just being really sneaky. It goes to show how efficient Aiden and Jordi are when they work together.

* A minor one can be found in one of the privacy invasions: A woman is thoroughly chewing out an obnoxious radio personality for his homophobic comments, saying how she loves her daughter(who is a lesbian) and when he gives the "it's a free country" excuse, she counters by saying that "hate speech" and "ignorance" is not a right and then tells him that a person(the host) who hangs out at a crackhouse has no room to judge others.

** The main game adds to this- Aidan's target was just a name in the demo. Here? He's the ringleader of a human trafficking ring (Many players reported feeling horrified by what they saw there), and you're allowed to kill the SOB in any way you want.

* As a vigilante simulator, this game is fairly realistic; you don't need to steal cop cars to stop crimes like in GTA, and the game recognizes the nature of each crime; for example, you'll be penalized for using excessive force on a mugger who never hurt anyone. The crimes in progress system is surprisingly deep, and there's nothing better than waiting for a mugger in a powered-off car on an alleyway during a stormy night and then saving someone. No excessive carnage, no over-the-top car chases, no Batman-like strength, just a normal man hunting those who want to hurt the innocent.

* The final exchange between Aiden and [[spoiler: Quinn.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Quinn''']]: Do you think you've won? [[VillainWithGoodPublicity You see when I die, they'll build a statue.]] And you? The city didn't stop for your grieving family. Because ''you don't matter.''\\

* Taking down the auction in ''A Risky Bid.'' It might not be the way [[Series/TheWire Omar,]] [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX Frank]] or [[ComicBook/{{X23}} Laura]] would do it, but they'd approve.

** Though one can say the same thing for the host. As he is right that the same rights that allow him to say what she claims is "hate speech" is the same right that allows her to call him out on it. Also we never heard what the man said that she declared "hate speech" and her actions felt practically forced with how she defended her daughter, almost sounding like she was forcing herself to accept her daughter's sexuality.

* At the end of Act III, you join forces with T-Bone as fixers close in, planning to kill him. T-Bone built all sorts of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truckasaurus Robosaurus-style]] traps that [[MoreDakka fire machine guns]], [[KillItWithFire breathe fire]], or ''[[ShockAndAwe shoot insta-death electricity]]'' at the fixers, and you can use every single one of them as many times as you like.
