lua rescue sortie

[rakkhot]

So I hacked all 4 terminals inside with 1 second left on the death timer but the rescue target didn't show up even after hacking the last terminal and died in the end because of the death timer.

Can someone enlighten me what I could've done more than hacking every terminal in the area and still have 1 second left?

Basically guessing correctly before having hacked all terminals.

Don't you have to jump into the portal when you hear the rescue target through the portal?

I never had to before, did they recently change it?

I remember having to do that a few times. You'd hear the usual "I'm in here" call for help from the rescue target when you open the right portal. Then you jump through the portal and you'd be in their cell.

They might've changed it though. I haven't played Lua rescue in a while.

It's always been like that. But the guessing is still part of the initial hacking. Hack a panel, if you don't hear their voice through the portal, hack the next.

I played quite a few lua rescue sorties in the last 6 months and I never had to go into the portal, the rescue target just came into the room with the terminals and I could go on my merry way. But seems something changed, since I actually had to go into the portal this time, I just attempted the sortie a 3rd time, this time going into the portal and there he was, I didn't hear him scream though. Does someone know on wich audio slider the rescue targets voice is?

The captive does seems to let you know if you got the right one. Just did it a few times but on a 3 attempt i was able to hear "I'm in here" clip (though all the enemies talking made it hard to hear it ). I'd say keep hacking portals till it pops up.

I was looking for a pop up, but I didn't get one, that's why I was under the impression you could only hear it. In the end I just hacked all terminals and got into the portal in the last second.

It's sttill the same, hack until you hear the voice prompt calling, go through portal.

You need to jump in to rescue the hostage. If my memery is correct, it always have been like this. But this year, i had encounter a weird bug that teleport hostage out of cell after hack (sometime out of map). Maybe you encounter that bug and misunderstood.

It's possible, since I play solo most of the time I wouldn't realise that something like that is a bug until I encounter the bug free version.

I heard them crying out before the front door had finished opening
But then I also got the mission failed message while standing beside them... and then went on to finish the mission.
It sucks. it really isnt well put together and the fact it is very diffrent from similar mission types people are more familiar with is going to drive you crazt.


What I learned: Do it solo.

If you have to go in with random teams:
Inaro's pocket sand will disable turrets for a few seconds which is enough to hack a terminal before you do it again.
Limbos are tolls. If you are invisible and hacking a terminal they will go into the void and stand beside you so you get killed by shotgun blasts and stray bullets aimed at them.
The UI is a troll. if the player with the banshee or other horrible squishy framer gets to the door terminal first, they will try to hack it, they will die, and the contextual menu wont let you step over their body to hack the terminal yourself, but will instead insist you revive them first because they wont choose to revive themselves and both actions use the contextual x key and the mission fail timer is running.
"I'm in here" lies.
"Mission Failed" lies.
There was an audible click when I got the right terminal, but I have only done this mission once so I don't know if that is a thing or just a coincidence.
And finally the most important advice about random teams : Don't go in with a random team.
Not even kidding. Got a success first time when I went solo yet so many failures with a random team. X,x
And the best part of the random teams are the ones that always fall behind and like to call everyone else nubs or slow, or stupid or anything else while doing bugger all themselves.
Do it solo. mcuh easier.

You know how I know you're doing it wrong?

You and complain about it. As Michael Jordan would say, "Stop it. Get some help."

I only finished the mission when I went in alone, So do it without the help! XD
After all, trying the same thing over and over and expecting diffrent results is maddness.
The two options left are get a non-random team or go it solo. since no one I know is likely to log in again tonight I went in alone ;)

I think you misread what was said there, I will show you the part that you didn't read, at least it seems like you didn't read it:
