Failure will happen regardless of whether it was your fault or not, and it's important that you and your team not get frustrated. Tactical Ops is meant to be the most challenging thing you can do in Watch Dogs: Legion's multiplayer, and not even Ubisoft expects most players to be able to finish it all in a single attempt. Thanks to its infinitely spawning enemies and need for communication and stealth, Tactical Ops has the potential to be one of the most frustrating things in the game. Spiderbot Arena's maps aren't particularly big, and they're often dense with obstacles and items, so movement truly is your first line of defense. Strafe, dodge, jump, double jump, and generally just keep going. Always stay on the move not only does it make you harder to hit, but it also allows you to line up kill shots on your opponents more effectively.

Spiderbot Arena is quite fast-paced, so standing still is a surefire way to get yourself killed repeatedly. This one's primarily for the Spiderbot Arena PvP mode, which isn't really about sneaking and hiding as much as it is about jumping around and killing your opponents. It might be frustrating at first, but focusing on stealth makes Watch Dogs: Legion's multiplayer play much better. Sure, once you take out the first wave of guards and find an easily-defensible position, you can just keep shooting enemies like an insane person, but there is literally no end to them unless you can lose their trail and hide. This is exacerbated by the fact that Watch Dogs: Legion's Tactical Ops missions seem to have infinitely spawning enemies. Once you're spotted, enemies will all start zeroing in on your position, and you it's borderline impossible to shoot your way out. Stealth is of the utmost importance, not only for the sake of saving resources and going for pacifist runs, but also because Watch Dogs: Legion's multiplayer just wasn't balanced for an all-out action hero approach. Watch Dogs: Legion had a higher emphasis on stealth than any other game in the franchise before it, and Legion's multiplayer doubles down on the concept. And when you're bored of co-op, Spiderbot Arena, while great fun on its own, is even better when friends are involved. Having actual friends as team mates is a huge boost to the enjoyment of Watch Dogs: Legion's multiplayer communication is important enough that having friends on the other side of your microphone makes life that much easier. Sure, you can rely on matchmaking for the co-op missions, but with the amount of co-ordination and communication required, you're better off just convincing a few friends to play with you.

Unlike some other multiplayer open-world games out there, Watch Dogs: Legion's multiplayer wasn't really meant for solo play.
