How do you hack the antenna ?

[Harmonium]

I have never success doing the hack, first try i get 6 second doing the hack, i fail, then i try another antenna and now i have only 2 - 3 second to hack it, i don't know how can i do this with so less time ?

The time you get to hack starts as soon as the antenna is hackable. If it takes too much time to reach the antenna you end up with very little time to hack it.
I never managed to get this on my own, it's much easier when the whole team can cover the zone and reach the antennas in a couple of seconds.

There are 9 antennas in total. Just prepare the terrain and remember which cable goes to which antenna, that way you know where to go when the cable lights up.
Also, a 6s hack is doable but you can't fail. Try to reach an antenna with 10s to spare.

Scout is preferrable if you're solo, otherwise having Dash helps. Terrain preparation is key either way. If a very distant antenna lights up and you know you won't get there in time (or have time to hack once you do), it's better to stay at the 'hub' and let it tick over to the next antenna, otherwise you'll be running back and forth just wasting time.

If it's taking you 14-17 seconds to travel between antenna nodes then you need to work on your situational awareness and/or terrain prep.

first i don't know the one i need to hack, i need to follow the light on the cable, secondly some are not easy to reach and you need grapple to reach them, everything take time.

Then i need to perfect the hack, one fail and i'm done.

The active node emits a bright blue light. It shouldn't be too hard to see.
Terrain prep before starting the event. Make sure you can reach every node quickly.

If you prep the terrain and reach the nodes faster you should have more than enough time to make mistakes during the hack.

Personally, I kinda like this event... 'cept for one thing. A good scout can completely dominate it. I can't tell you how many times I've taken the time to drill tunnels to every node only to find that blue bastard there already...

You need to hack 3 to 5 (depending on the number of players) out of 9.
