Lock picking/hacking

[michellembrodeur]

How do you get up a lvl.
Cannot combine two lvl 1 hacking cards.

So how do you level it up.

Were 20th lvl now and still lvl one perks.

There are 3 different perks, all with a single level. Hacker, Expert Hacker (level 22, I think), and Master Hacker (level 38). Lockpicking works the same way, just at different levels (19 for the 2nd card, and 40 for the third if I remember right).

I don't remember the levels very well, as I just use the legendary perk card Master Infiltrator, which lets you pick all levels of locks and hack all levels of terminals. But you need to get a character to level 50 before you can use legendary perk cards.

basically they couldn't figure out how to lock leveling perk cards behind character level

so they set cards to a single level and then locked cards behind character level

anytime they didn't want a player to be able to max out stuff as soon as the card was available they did this

A level 1 lock/terminal requires having one of the requisite perks slotted. It doesn’t matter which. Level 2 requires 2 cards, and level 3 requires all 3 cards.

This.

They're different than other perk cards. You don't level them up, there's 3 for each skill that must be used in tandem.

Alternatively, there's a legendary perk card, Master Infiltrator, that will grant you the effect of all 6 cards and automatically open level 0 locks/hack level 0 computers when equipped. As it ranks up you can automatically unlock level 1 at rank 2, level 2 at rank 3 and at rank 4 all locks and computers pop open at your touch...including at player camps.
