(4) Getting to the assembly lab - Lab 1 Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Regardless of your previous actions, now you have to choose a corridor leading north (Assembly Ln.1 Ln.2, Server Room) #1. On your way there Pritchard will contact you and tell you that a nearby door has to be hacked. Go to this door #2 and spend some moments to watch a tutorial movie about hacking (it can be also started from pause menu). If you're ready, start interaction with an electronic lock. Accept a mini hacker game.

As you probably learned from a tutorial, you goal in mini hacker game is to capture subsequent nodes to take control over device's registers. In this case start with capturing the left directory and then choose a bridge leading to the upper target point. Since you're dealing here with lowest, first-level protection, the chances of being detected by enemy network are low. But if that happens, you have to be hurry, because you'll probably have no additional application which makes hacking easier. I recommend improving augmentations which streamline the whole process and allow you breaking into better secured system, and that's because completing mini hacker games is rewarded with credits and valuable experience points. So if you feel confident and you've mastered the rules of this mini game, it is worth playing it even if you already know the combination or a password to computer system.

Go inside and look around the room, saving the game. Go little further, being decontaminated. Be careful though, because the next room is occupied by enemy units.
