Dispatch Episode 4 Hacking Guide: Trapping Antiviruses

Unlike the two previous episodes, there are not many hacking puzzles in episode 4. Only two but relatively difficult ones. It’s all about timing. You have to trap antiviruses so you can have access to where you need safely. If you have solved the previous hackings, you should be able to do both puzzles without any trouble.

Superhero Squabble in Aisle 9

You’ll get this call in the first dispatch shift and no matter which hero you send, it’s gonna be sabotaged and you’ll get four choices for how to proceed the call. The fourth option is “Activate Sprinkler System” which leads to a hacking puzzle. Do not forget about your timer and be as quick as you can.

First go up then right and activate the node with two hammers. When the antivirus is on the two right nodes, reactivate the node.

When the antivirus is on the three rightmost nodes, reactivate the node for the third time to trap the antivirus there.

Now go left and activate the other node with two hammers on it. Then continue your path and activate the sprinkler.

Go back to the bottom of the map. Here you have to activate the other two sprinklers. First go to the right node with two hammers on it and when the antivirus is on the middle node, activate it.

When the antivirus in on the two right nodes, reactivate the node to trap it there.

Now go left and activate the other node with two hammers on it. Then activate the second water sprinkler.

Go back and reactivate the left node with two hammers on it.

You have to trap the antivirus on the left side now. So go to the right node with two hammers and activate it.

Again when the antivirus is on the middle node reactivate the two-hammer node.

When the antivirus is on the two leftmost nodes, reactivate the two-hammer node for the last time.

The antivirus should be trapped on the left nodes. Go left and activate the left two-hammer node. Then continue your path to activate the last sprinkler. When you activate the last one, the finishing node will appear.

Discern the Target

In this hacking puzzle you need to retrieve two parts of a password and that’s not going to be easy. You can find the password here and finish the puzzle without dealing with antiviruses.

Go to that node with lock first. You have to enter the password which is: Left, left, up, right, right, down.

Then go back to the main path to the left most part of it. Go up and then to the right.

Activate the node with two hammers. Go forward and finish the hacking sequence.

That’s it for episode 4. Don’t get use to this number of hacking sequences. In the next episode there are going to be 6 of them.
