[Blacknet mission 8] Operation: Vivid Future | Blacknet missions Prototype 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Hunting Dennis Wayne

New objective: Go to a Blacknet terminal

In order to start this mission, you have to get to location [728, 1477]. Very important information is fact, that this terminal can be used only by authorized persons, so you have to consume a scientist or a soldier and disguise yourself. Find the Blacknet terminal and use it (B button), watching out for viral detectors.

New objective: Hunt and consume Dennis Wayne

As you probably remember, it is best to start the hunt with getting to the rooftop of one of the highest building in area. Only then send an impulse (press left analog), so you can easily locate the person you're looking for (screen above).

Dennis Wayne should be walking in the central part of the green zone and his approximate location is [785, 1425]. Try to consume him. Your attempt will fail and you'll learn that he also got viral powers.

Defeating Dennis Wayne

New objective: Defeat Dennis Wayne

New objective: Consume Dennis Wayne

Start fighting Dennis. This duel doesn't differ much from previous encounters with mini-bosses (like with Dr. Koenig for example). So you should jump over Dennis, performing quick attacks and looking for opportunities to use special attacks each time you see icon of X, Y or B buttons over his head. Keep fighting until Wayne's energy bar is almost empty. Then consume him.

Obtaining intel data

New objective: Intercept the helicopter

Fortunately you do not have to chase the helicopter, because your task is only to get to the shiny circle or the rooftop in location [864, 1306]. Once you get into the circle, the game will display a cut-scene.

New objective: Retrieve the intel to stop the Orion revival project

Now you have to take part in some kind of race, because your current task is to reach indicated containers in given time limit (you can see the counter on the screen). The first container can be found in location [885, 1309], and next targets will be indicated by the game on ongoing basis. Notice, that after approaching each container, your time limit extends, but you can't afford any longer breaks.

During the "race", pay most attention on getting to adjacent buildings. It is best to start such actions with strong rebound (hold A button) and then rely on gliding (hold right trigger). In some situations it might be necessary to run over the walls and precise landing in the indicated area. It is also worth noting that in flight you can additionally press A button to perform so called dashes, which are helpful in reaching rooftops of distant buildings.

This race is more difficult than previous ones in Blacknet mission, so to increase your chances of winning you should start it only after upgrading Heller's acrobatic abilities. During the race ignore the fact, that you're under fire from all directions and do not stop anywhere. The most difficult moment is climbing the skyscraper at the end of the race (screen above) and in this case you should at least once deflect the rocket shot at you (press RB button).

You should reach the last container (screen above) in time limit, if you've started climbing the building with at least 10 second before time limit and you haven't been hit by any rocket.

New objective: Exit the alert

Losing the chase should make you no problems. I suggest jumping down, entering the narrow alley and shapeshifting.

Hunting Dr. Soren Donnell

New objective: Go to a Blacknet terminal

Once again go to location [728, 1477]. Same as previously, you should approach the terminal masked as a soldier or a scientist, remembering about avoiding viral detectors. Use the terminal again (B button).

New objective: Hunt and consume Dr. Soren Donnell

Act the same as with previous hunt, so get to the rooftop of one of the highest building in the area, to locate the scientist. He should stay in the base in location [625, 1451]. As Soren is observed by local soldiers, do not play with shapeshifting but attack enemies, trying to consume the doctor as fast as possible and losing the chase after successful action.

Eliminating scientists

New objective: Consume the scientists to impede Gentek testing

Scientists from the first group are gathered in the same place and their approximate location is [770, 1385]. Since this area is inaccessible for civilians (screen above), it would be good to get there masked as a scientist or a soldier.

Good news is that none of the characters indicated by the game is observed by other people (the only exceptions is a soldier patrolling the area, but you can just wait as he passes by). That means that you can consume all scientists without triggering an alarm.

New objective: Consume the scientist to impede Gentek testing

In order to find the third, last scientist, you have to go to location [707, 1372]. Once you get there, I suggest eliminating two guards, which are standing behind the scientist. Check also if your bio-mass bar is fully charged, because soon you may need it.

Defeating the evolved infiltrators

New objective: Consume the evolved infiltrators

When you try to consume the scientist or two guards standing near, it turns out that all of them have viral powers. Also notice the information about bonus objective - you have to defeat all evolved within 90 seconds. So I suggest starting with the Devastator attack.

In the next part of the fight focus always on one target and remember that you have to consume your enemies and not to kill them. So as a result you shouldn't use any powerful attacks when your opponent is almost dead. Keep fighting until you consume all characters indicated by the game.

New objective: Exit the alert

Escape the area should not be associated with any complications, but to make sure that you lose the chase, help yourself with sprint and quickly find some place where you can change your shape. Notice, that as a reward for completing the mission, you can select mutation from Defensive category.
