Intro bugged: ECM Jammer not explained!!!

[Bitcoin Baron]

On mission 2 at the start the voice says to use the ECM Jammer on the security camera, but doesnt explain how and theres no floating tool tip in the game world. In the end I shot the camera but even that doesnt work as it breaks the tutorial and then you can't lockpick the first door!

hold g

[Bitcoin Baron]

Yeah it said hold G but didnt say how or what I have to be near if anything....

Then shooting the camera breaks ALL hints and UI things that pop up on a level anyway, so I restarted the game, and NOW i have to re-start the tutorial missions from the beggining (as in play through the previous first mission again). This game has some serious issues!

[the mysterious funnel cake]

ecm effects whole map location means nothing no ui that says stuffs disabled just gota listen or watch teamates equipment on hud dont interact with ecm iether if u want to maintain stealth

[Bitcoin Baron]

Literally no idea what you just said dude. Doesn't seem to be any kind of answer to my issues, or maybe punctuation just isn't you're forte.

[Charlie]

Ecm will disable camera or any phone call. However, do not turn on if you're using on stealth (it will alert everyone). Turn on will make the cops or special enemy stun for temporary time

TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE: TURNS OUT YOU ARE MEANT TO LOOK AT A WALL AND PRESS G. NICE IN GAME HINT!! /s

[the mysterious funnel cake]

yes you have to apply the ecm to any surface, you were shooting the camara which spawned another gaurd and he saw the cam and called it in (i just ran tutorial)

[Brubcio]

Can i join thys grup

[Sunday Driver]

Hundreds of thousands, maybe a million people, managed to use these deployables before the game even had a tutorial...

[Wandering Flare]

I'm pretty sure if you don't try to apply it to any surface the game will tell you about it as you are doing it. If not... there is a reason it's called a "deployable".

Yes but the first time i tried it was giving me that message when I tried to place it on walls floor and the security camera.

ECM jammers can only be used on flat surfaces. Hold your deployable key while looking at one, and the ECM jammer will activate.

ECM jammers last 20 seconds, but that duration can be lengthened by upgrading your skills.

While ECM jammers are active, all cameras in the map will be disabled, and civilians will not be able to call the police. Upon upgrading the ECM Specialist skill, guard pagers will be delayed until the ECM effect is over.

The ECM jammer's effect will not work on metal detectors, laser detectors, etc. If a camera has fully detected you, the ECM jammer will not do anything against that either.

ECM jammers also have the ability to open ATM machines, giving you some extra cash. You can also open doors that require keycards using ECM jammers, but you'll need to ace the ECM Overdrive skill.

You can also convert SWAT turrets into your side temporarily while the effect is active, making the turret shoot the police instead of you and your crew. However, when the ECM jammer effect is over, the turret will return back to normal and return to shooting at you and your crew.

ECM feedback can be activated by holding your interaction key while looking at an already active ECM jammer. Upon feedback being activated, every enemy in the map will be temporarily incapacitated due to the loud ECM noise, giving you some extra time to kill them (this effect does not work on cloakers). But if the map is on stealth, every guard will get alerted and the alarm will go off.

Thank you so much for this comment! I know to experienced players this may have been dead simple but I just started playing the game today, didn't think to get close to a wall to deploy the device, and the tutorial does not say to do this at all. It will, however, continually berate you until you eventually figure it out...or Google the answer as I just did.

I'm pretty sure it literally says "You need to aim at a surface" or something along those lines should you be trying to place it on thin air.
