You can swap to any of your active recruits at any time in Watch Dogs: Legion.

The Team tab is an important part of the Legion experience and it is here that you can see a list of all your current operatives, as well as any recruits that you’ve marked while exploring the world.

When you’re ready, go ahead and select the new operative that you want to change over to. You’ll be able to edit their loadout – which is often limited depending on the character you’re using. Finally, go ahead and follow the prompt on the screen to select the character and change over to them. You’ll get a brief loading screen – depending on your system it might take a bit longer – and then you’ll be in control of the new operative.
