Free legendary quickhacks by hacking - still working?

[PloufsPuppet]

Hi,
is it still possible to get legendary quickhacks by hacking with only 12 int and the perk datamine virtuoso? because i mostly dont get even quickhacks - far away from 100%....

Yes you can still get them in 1.6, nothing has changed.
You can get a full set of legendary quickhacks with 3 Int lol.
The base chance to get a quickhack when you solve the 2nd+3rd code is like 10% or something.
Also your level matters, some will only ever give green quickhacks, others will have a rarity based on your level (either lvl35+ or 40+ for legendary, depends on the access point - you can tell by how much $ it give you - the green only ones give 50% $ that the level 40+legendary ones do.)

Haven`t got a single one so far half-way through game so gone have to craft them.

i never once got any legendary quickhacks on any playthrough, never needed them anyway, Epic is plenty strong enough if you combine it with Dameon perks to lower the enemy network reistance by 30% or 60% depending on the perk you have at the time

Legendary short circuit's passive ability makes it stupidly strong on crit hit builds, only legendary quickhacks have passive abilities...
The key (if you have very low Int) is not using all the 3/4 Int req access points in Watson at low level.

It works for me, though i dont get any notification of getting them. Just check from time to time your cyberdeck to see if you got new ones. And yes, included legendaries, I'm only level 14 int and have more legendaries than i can fit.

You do, it is a line above the uncommon quickhack components that you get (if you get a quickhack), but since it is first and disappears quickly it is easy to miss.
Also you can only really check for duplicates of a quickhack by going to a shop, in your cyberdeck menu it just shows 1 copy of the highest rarity of each type.

I try it since 30 minutes on a 7int thing, have like all epic quickhacks. dont get any new. what?

You need to use the access points that give high $ and be level 35+ or 40+ (depending on the access point), the base chance for getting a quickhack is not high.
If you are too low level you will get epic or rare instead.
If it is a low $ access point it will only give green quickhacks no matter what.
The Int requirement and that $ the access point gives are not related.
($ from access points scale with level, 1st code gives 1/6 reward, 2nd code gives 2/6 reward, 3rd code give 3/6 reward.)
At level 50 low $ access points give ~$600, high $ give ~1200, very high $ give ~1400.
(with 5/6 or 6/6 of the reward - WITHOUT bonus $$$ from access point perks)

There are a few access points that don't give any money, some of them can give legendary quickhacks as well.

craft them

Yeah, if you aren't high enough level to get them from access points you need 20 Int + the perk and you need to craft them.

Shops only sell up to epic, and enemy netrunners drop the lowest rarity possible of quickhacks in their loot pool (can still get epic detonate grenade, cyberpsychosis, suicide from voodoo boys since those don't exist in lower rarities.)

You get System Reset from a quest, so can always get that legendary.

Well i thought u can get them without the perk for legendary. Thats the point.

You can, if you are level 35+ or 40+ at the right access points...
Please read the other posts in the thread, I'm not posting the same thing for a 3rd time.

I have a 8 Int character and 4 Int character with full sets of legendary quickhacks, just because you haven't bothered farming them doesn't mean it isn't possible.

Also 'with the correct perks'??? You don't need any perks.
If you have the 20 Int perk you just craft them yourself though.
(this lets you get them at level 15 instead of waiting until level 35+)
