Disabling authorization scans is broken, and access to the panel locked behind a major design flaw

It is simply not possible to complete any missions or enter buildings without alerting guards at some point. Disabling authorization scans NEVER works as expected.

Correcting, I misunderstood what this panel does. Was under the impression this would disable security guards' ability to scan you.
I still stand by thinking this should be made more clear.

The Authorization Scans panel only disables the ID scanners on the doors.

Ahhh ninja'd 🙃

I think you're after the Settlement Alarms panel instead? That one allows you attack everything and everyone with impunity when you turn it off.

Nope, disabling scans means you no longer need a security clearance for any doors/panels.

I think it's level 2, which means you're effectively gaining level 3.

So it's just another way of cloning an ID. Where was this mentioned in-game?

Can you just zap them before they complete the scan?

Which brings up the question, Do they react to bodies laying on the ground?

As soon as I start charging the energylink, their shields go up and security turns hostile. Interrupting their scans doesn't seem to be an option for me.

Clearly I'm not understanding my options to gain access to areas without accruing some sort of bounty.
Seeing as you're the expect here, care to share any of your findings to help out, or are you going to continue to be a pompous ole?

Hit the "C" key. Or "CTRL" if your mapping is default.
Try walking behind people, because their eyes face forward.

Perhaps you should try attacking them from behind.
Attacking people from the front tends to alert them.

If you're fast enough. I did that when I was hiding in a corner and a guard came right up to me and started scanning me. I anticipated that happening and already had my Energy Link out and charging.

Yes. Workers also react to certain consoles being messed with, such as the Settlement Alarms panel. They might be able to turn them back on, but I killed them before they had the chance.

Yes they react to bodies on the ground, and also if they see or hear weapon fire.

You need to play using common sense and apply real world thought to things.
So if you want to sneak kill someone do it with no one watching you and with as little sound as possible.

Good to know.

If I ever get support to get me unstuck from this taxi shuttle then I want to try out some new moves. :)
