Safes won't open

[Double_A]

So I'm trying to open safes, the fancy ones that are "EMP resistant", and it tells me to open them using ingognita, but whenever I use ingognita there is no option like other hackable objects but like hackable objects they are still red. How do I open them??

Hey Badman_bacon777, what you describe sounds unusual. They should be hackable as normal. There are some ways to get them into a state you describe, but that involves them being looted without hacking them, such as EMPing them and then looting.

If you can send us a savegame file it would be really easy for us to track down any bugs involved. You can post them to our forum bug tracker:

Same problem. Trying to submit form was failed twice.

Hm... Sounds like the money lockboxes in the vault, those cannot be opened via EMP as they would need a signal from a (nearby) terminal to open. Hack that terminal and have some operate it in order to open those safes up, as they cannot be hacked directly.

I wonder if they lock up again after a turn or two or do they stay unlocked now once the terminal has been used...? Hm... (If they do lock up again, use the terminal again.)

Oh, I was thinking about the magnetic reinforcement ability that shows up in late endles games.. but CarThief is probably correct. If you are talking about the safes in the vault, the ones that look like safety deposit boxes, you need to hack the computer terminal nearby. An agent can then unlock all of the vault safes by using the terminal.

Confirmed. It's a bug, homedrone. When you enter the vault after using the keycard you are not given the option to loot them even after hacking the terminal. When you attempt to loot them, you're given the message about using an EMP.

Just to confirm, you had an agent use the terminal after hacking it in the mainframe?

I just tested the vaults on the live Steam version and everything worked as expected for me. So if you can't access those safes, please send us your savegame file as it will show the exact way to reproduce the error.

Ok, now you've got me second guessing myself. :) I'll do another run and try and get a vault mission w/ card.
