All Agent DNA locations in Crackdown 3

Personalise the Agent's appearance by tracking down DNA and unlocking all playable Agents in Crackdown 3.

1

There are a lot of things to collect in Crackdown 3 with one of the most important being Agent DNA. Any player that wants to make their Agent look more like them will need to spend some time tracking down the location of all Agent DNA. While there are 21 Agents to play as in Crackdown 3, only 6 are available at the start of the game.

Agent DNA locations

At the beginning of Crackdown 3, all Agent DNA (except for six Agents) is scattered across New Providence. Collecting all 15 other Agents will require players finding the DNA sequences, which can be difficult given the vast size and verticality of the city.

The reason collecting all the Agent DNA is a good idea is that each character offers different stat bonuses. These bonuses help to level up stats quickly in Crackdown 3, as the grind to get through the final level before max power is quite lengthy and a 10% boost is quite valuable.

Agent stat bonuses

As mentioned above, each Agent offers a unique mixture of stat bonuses. The main bonus will always be a 10% boost while the secondary boost will be 5%. It’s a good idea to switch up your Agent depending on what skill you wish to focus leveling.
