Blackbox Project, No Needles

[neuromancer]

So as near as I can tell the only ways into the Beams and Waves lab requires either Repair or Mimic. Is anyone aware of a way to complete this mission on a No Needles run?

The Blackbox Project Questline can also be initiated in the Magnetosphere in the G.U.T.S, at the Security Terminal, in which the quest will begin as normal.

It's not about initiating it. It's about getting into the beams and waves lab. The only two ways i know of as well is by repairing the breach mechanism or mimic through the ballistics lab. So with a no needles run it looks like it's impossible to complete it.

There are two ways into the Beams & Waves Lab - Repair from Human powers, Mimic from Typhon powers.

No Needles is a pain because it can lock you out from both paths in some spots of the game and so limiting the number of goodies you can acquire.

The whole gimmick with No Needles is surviving without the advantages of Neuromods, the Beams and Waves lab can only be accessed through skills, so you'll have to pass up this Q-Beam Cells and early Q-Beam.

I figured as much, thanks for the replys. I already had the qbeam from the exterior, I was really wanting to get in there for the qbeam cell fabrication plan but then shortly after I posted this I found the one in the crew quarters hull breach.

You can also get Q-beam in G.U.T.S. Hidden corpse in the cargo tunnel. Josh Dalton.

On a No Needles run you are not able to get into all the areas. You get into all you need for the main quest, but some of the sidequests are impossible.

How do you Mimic from Ballistics into Beams & Waves Lab? I cant find way.

Above the sealed chamber in Ballistics there is an access hatch jammed open with a couple of items you can morph into, otherwise you might need to bring your own coffee cup. Just checked and it's a viable path.

Where is the Q-beam ammo fabrication plan in relation to crew quarters. I am doing a no needles run as well, and the bigger enemies are a pain with anything but the Q-beam and i am flush with resources so was hoping to get the plan.

Nevermind. Got one from Deep Storage, in the safe.
