KF-18 Damage Modkit in a Flight Deck

[el-marine]

Hi lovely people, I'm stuck in Flight Deck and not sure how to activate laser bridge to get KF-18 Damage Modkit. Here at 7:37 there is an opening in the wall https://youtu.be/2b_mxO90yVU?t=457

In my walkthrough the wall is closed. I have checked literally everything, please help!

If it's a hidden door, just activate it. I can't remember if it's that or if it's activated with a switch elsewhere.

*edit - unless it's the one where you jump across with the boots, in which case you open that door with the switch the video shows around that timestamp.

Pretty sure that's the one where you need to use the flying/hover boots.

How can I activate these boots please? Is there a special key for this?

Press Tab and it'll be the icon on the bottom of the right-hand column. Kinda looks like boots.

You need v3 of the Hover Boots (only available in Engineering) to be able to reach the top, and you cannot do it from the ground as well. Climb the large shielded docking entrance to give you some starting height. Then hold space to use the boots to get you up there.

You can make the jump with the boots you pick up on that level, in that hangar. v3 boots give more height but not a longer jump.

*edit - the v3 boots are really only needed to find the Skullys for the achievement and if you want to bypass certain things in Security or try and reach sniping positions.

I did it with V2. Just gotta be creative.

Yeah, as others have said, use the jump boots to cross the gap. So long as you jump from the place where you got the boot, or on a bridge segment to such you should have plenty of room. You do not need the Engineering version of the boots, although they should make getting it even easier as I think you can just fly directly up with them.

I think in the beta version you could activate the passage to it from outside, but in the release version you definitely can't. You have to fly/jump over there. You can then activate the door, for easier access, but your initial entry has to be via the hanger bay.

Get to the spot OPPOSITE of the Modkit upgrade station.
Activate the boots in your inventory (V2 boots are perfectly sufficient).
Make sure you have at least 1/3 of energy.
Hold down the jump key until you fly all the way to the ceiling. Then, also hold Left Shift for horizontal speed and just coast across the gap to the Modkit station.
(There is a way to open an alternate route from it to the security station, so you don't need to do this again.)

Thank you guys! You are the best! Was hovering over flight decks for hours searching every single hole to find a secret door :) On a bright side I know flight decks by heart now 😳
