Find Every Hidden QR Code in Watch Dogs

There are a total of 16 QR Codes scattered across the 6 regions of Chicago in Watch Dogs. Finding all QR Codes will unlock a bonus mission. Completing the bonus mission will earn you the Read-onlyTrophy or Achievement, as well as a new weapon, the Gangster Tommy Gun

To reveal the code locations on your map you must unlock all CtOS Towers. The displayed locations aren't very accurate though and you must find one specific surveillance camera and look at the QR Code from a certain angle. The correct camera is sometimes far away, or can only be activated from an elevated position.

Viewing each QR Code also unlocks an audio log. All Codes are saved automatically when you find them. None of them are missable and you can still get them in free roam after beating the story. They are also a requirement for the They Call Him The VigilanteTrophy or Achievement.
