Hello and welcome back! ;) 5:07 Ping a door, camera or "green" item on a system to expose all data minable objects on that system.

You can increase your buffer size by upgrading your Operating System in Cyberware so be sure to check ripper docs for upgrades.

Focus on the bottom one is fairly obvious, but don’t get hooked on that. Example being in that first puzzle you could have got all 3 if you started on the 2nd line item first. Also a later puzzle which I don’t remember you could have done better.

So while the bottom is the best reward, and I would focus on getting it. But I would first focus on the smaller ones and see if they share parts with the bottom one.

I almost always get at least 2 of them. I’ll also say playing on hard and I only have 4 chances, I’m not very far in the game so maybe higher levels you are given more chances. It makes sense for the story idea, but generally everything gets harder as the game progresses. What difficulty are you doing?

TLDR: bottom is best, but look top first and see if the shorter ones end or share some with the bottom item. If they do get them first if not don’t.

Your break down was clear and easy to understand.

Thanks! This was not well explained in the game. I didn't really get what I was doing and always tried to go line by line sort of.

I’m no idiot but I still have no clue what the hell is going on with these

Helpful vid, thanks. Took some time to realize how the meta around the different parts of hacking works. Are you aware of a perk or attachment that makes all loot around you visible? You noted the one that made access points visible but having that for loot would save a lot of time running-scanning-running through the world.

ive seen alot of bugs is still cool and im still playin it

[geoffreygetzin]

first code should have been 55, 1c, 1c, 55, 55. would have got all 3.

Hi! Is there a perk needed to hack the vending machines?

[johngreco]

Don't say it's a guide when you are trying to figure it out yourself while doing the video.
