watch-dogs
I've been under a rock for some time and just bought Watch_Dogs. I'm intrigued about the perks of being a mayor after checking in at some hotspots.
My questions are:
How exactly do you become mayor for a particular location?
What perks of being a mayor?
Is being a mayor only temporary?
You need to find a square plate with a check mark on it, it's shown on the minimap as well. It could be either on a wall or the ground.
When you find it, you have to walk to it and press E if you're using keyboard or Y if you're using a gamepad. Additionally, you can check-in from distance by pressing middle mouse button or Up on a gamepad.
Doing this will "check in" and show you some information about the spot.
you have to play the campaign to a certain point (as far as I know it's till Act II) and then you will recognize new GPS points on your map that say exclusive mission. Just drive there and start it, and after finishing them you will recieve the bonus (e.g. more battery)! Good luck :)

To become mayor for a particular hotspot, you must check in at that location more times over a seven day period than any other player. You will remain mayor for a particular location while you remain the most frequent visitor.
Being mayor is primarily about collecting badges and achievements, however you will get to collect any goodies left behind when you're checking in.
