There are a few places in BS where, if you stand under a security camera, you can't reach it. But, if you stand directly under it and jump, you get the HACK prompt for a split second. Hack the camera and when you're done you fall back to the floor. Air Hack! I like to imagine Jack hanging from the security camera by his legs with the camera pulled apart and holding wires in his mouth. :D
Which leads me to the subject of this thread. Are "Enemy Triggered" your two favorite words? Do you purchase every engineering tonic slot available and leave your combat tonic slots pitifully few? Do you know the maximum number of hacked security bots you can have at once? Do you hack EVERYTHING? Then post here! What are your favorite tonics? What are your techniques? Do you use AHT's or do you scoff at them? Let us discuss the greatness of cheap Pep Bars and overflowing U-Invents! :p

Easy to figure out, always done it on cameras I couldn't reach.

1) No
2) I take the most useful ones, that lower the hacking difficulty, give you more time, and some health and EVE from hacking (if I remember correctly, there is one that does that)
3) I've never had the occasion to go over 1
4) Yes
5) Natural Camouflage
6) Run up to it and HACK!
7) If I'm too bored to work on a hack, I use the AHT (which I assume stands for "Automatic Hack Tool")
8) I don't use that much U-Invents, only sometimes to get some Electric Buck.

Lmao. Well, I fill up ALL my tonic slots, specially the combat slots. Actually, I never really use any hacking tonics. I invent the Auto hacks ALL the time and auto-hack everything. lol. I either Auto-hack it, or pay to hack it. Can't be bothered going through the actual hack. :rolleyes:
At first, when I noticed those cameras that are too high to hack, it pissed me off. But then I accidentally found out when I had to jump and I saw "hack" on it. I was like, Ah, so you CAN hack these high ones! :p

I hack every machine except in some places, cameras are useless. So I break them for the film :D

GASP! :eek: I must beg to differ. Cameras are far from useless. They quickly even the odds against multiple enemies. Security bots have a keener eye than the player (sometimes the reticule won't turn red if you move it over a splicer who's playing dead but a bot is never fooled). Not to mention they'll take 'em out when you're not even around. There's nothing like stumbling across a pile of splicer bodies to scrounge. :D
