How to Hack Locked Electronics in Thief Simulator 2

Locked electronics in your inventory can be a hindrance in Thief Simulator 2, as they are unsellable until hacked. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of hacking locked devices using a laptop in your Hideout. With some skill and practice, you'll be able to unlock these devices and sell them for their full price.

To begin hacking locked electronics in Thief Simulator 2, you first need to locate the laptop in your Hideout. The laptop can be found in the hallway of your house, right in front of the bathroom. It is essential to have access to your Hideout before attempting any hacks. Once you've found the laptop, you're ready to proceed to the next step.

In order to interact with the laptop and hack locked devices, you need to acquire the Electronics (Level 1) skill. This skill becomes available at Level 12 and requires 1 skill point to unlock. Without this skill, you won't be able to access the hacking interface and unlock the locked devices. Therefore, it is crucial to level up and invest in this skill before attempting any hacks.

Once you've acquired the required skill, you can view the hackable devices in your inventory. Look for locked electronics that cannot be sold without unlocking them. These devices will have a lock icon on their thumbnail image, indicating that they need to be hacked before they can be sold. Take note of these devices and prioritize them for hacking to maximize your profits.

To hack a locked device, select it from your inventory. You can do this by clicking on the device or using the appropriate keyboard shortcut. Once you've selected the locked device, you will see a menu with various options. Choose the 'Hack' option to initiate the hacking protocol. This will bring up the hacking interface on your laptop screen.

The hacking protocol in Thief Simulator 2 presents you with a screen displaying an interconnected path from one end to another. Your goal is to navigate through this path and unlock the device by setting a perfect course. To do this, hover over small portions of the path using your mouse cursor. The portion you are hovering over will turn green. Press the left mouse button (LMB) to change the direction of the path and set your desired course along the path. Keep in mind that you need to navigate the entire path successfully to unlock the device.

To successfully hack a locked device, you need to craft a perfect path. Aim to create a streamlined path by adjusting its course using LMB clicks. Experiment with different directions and angles until you find the optimal path. Your goal is to mark the path as green by setting it perfectly aligned. The more accurate and efficient your path is, the higher your chances of successfully hacking the device. Practice and patience are key to mastering the art of crafting a perfect hacking path.

Once you've successfully hacked a locked device, it will unlock, allowing you to sell it for its full price. Head to the appropriate vendor or market to make your sale. Take advantage of the unlocked devices to maximize your profits in Thief Simulator 2. Remember, the more devices you unlock and sell, the more money you can earn to invest in better equipment and skills.
