Terminals are access points for Agents to deactivate cameras, control power, open doors, accrue money, and gain information. Terminals range in levels, but any agent can attempt a hack or hardwire.
Actions and Failure[ | ]
All terminals can be accessed by any agent. Only agents with a 100% chance of success will have the interaction curser appear without forcing. Hacking or Hardwiring a terminal requires time and being adjacent to and in front of the terminal. Guaranteeing the hack requires the agent having adequate skill level.
All Terminals have levels. These levels are indicated by lights on the terminal and in the data screen pulled up when selecting the terminal.
Pressing Alt+left click will force an agent to hack even if the chances of success are less than 100%, but this will risk being stunned or killed. The default success chance of hacking terminals is as follows:
