Newcomer / Intro Mission - 'Fetch the XXX widget from a settlement' - message disappears

[jpjeffrey]

Sometimes the message (in the top right of the HUD) disappears. This is important, as the message usually contains the code to open the container
Is there any way of restoring the message, or should I just memorise/write down the code when it first appears...?

 

[metatheurgist]

None that I've found. Really annoying though. One way is to just relog, but make sure you steal everything you want first.

You can also hack a data terminal to find the objective and code

This is true, but it means carrying around an E-breach and risking getting scanned.
(Q: if you hack a terminal with an E-Breach and leg it, will the local guards still connect you to the hack....?)

 

[metatheurgist]

Not if you're long gone. Sometimes there are terminals they never visit so those are safe.

Yep... there's a particular one at the in a small building at the corner of the landing field that doesn't get much foot traffic....

I found out the hard way that if you hack a terminal, get away with it, but then come back to check on something and a civilian sees you using it, gets you shot at

Guards will go into alert mode if they see a hacked terminal, though, so best to only do ones that have no patrolling guards going past them. Or eliminate the guards first.

You don't need an ebreach to hack a terminal. If it's not powered, use your charge tool to power it up.

That still won't give you access to anything above 0, unless you've stolen an ID elsewhere. The ebreach gives you full access. So it does have occasional uses. I've kinda stopped using them myself. Too much trouble

What more does it show? I've only ever used it to check where data ports etc are, or where level 3 staff/targets are.

It gives you the codes for all the lockers/chests of your access level and below. If you have level 3, you see the codes to everything.
