Hacking Stores

[bookus]

All hints are at the bottom of the screen with prompts next to them you dont need the tut , and I woudnt start at both ends your more likley to mess up on the harder ones that have extra parts , just dont look what parts you got and just imagine what part you need and that part 99% of time you happen to have, if you have good sence of direction its pretty easy, I just thought of it like navagating a new set of streets iv not been to before

th extra time reward is one of the best things for it as you said tho deffo

Well it worked for me fairly well. Personally I have no sense of direction whatsoever, I'm much more apt at looking at it like I was trying to put together a map. The strategy Ellix suggested is one that I used several times as well. I also sometimes just look at the puzzle and work out the solution in my head. Mostly I'm not trying to suggest any one way of doing it, but another method that may work for him.

I don't know why I missed the commands at the bottom of the screen for so long though. Maybe the pressure of the clock ticking down caused me to neglect reading them carefully.

Also a thing to note is that the amount of time you get is tied to the difficulty setting of the game. The higher you have the difficulty setting, the less time you have to solve it. It varies from 1.35x to 0.8x depending on the difficulty setting. So if you don't have enough time, lower the difficulty setting for more time.

Personally, I just edited difficulty_levels.xtbl so the hacking timer multiplier was like 50x and now I have all the time in the world to solve them.

This applies to other activities as well apparently, which is very nice to know.

Usually when I hack stores, I'm very absent minded, but everything comes. Just one combination gave me troubles, so I saved a screenshot and I edited the picture with SAI. So I found the combination with calm.
Here some I found in my screenshots gallery.

I'm sorry but I don't remember, I just remember that those are the latest, and, another thing I noticed, since I had to re-do part of the game because save files was screwed due to a mod, is that sequence are casual, not-repeated. I may number mine and you can find a completely different sequence.

They are a set by number and what order you do them check this quote from Ellix

It's a set sequence, so the first store you hack will be 01, the second is 02, etc. Doesn't matter which. Otherwise you could get the hardest one first and throw your mouse through the monitor.

If you have you end up doing any more hover over your map use your interactive key on the lef add up how many stores have been hacked and that will give you the number for the next store

either way your input is realy apreshated

Hello again guys well I'm pleased to say I have had some success with hacking all the stores in saints row 4. It took me round 45 minuets after taking a look at this very helpful you tube hacking store video.
The thing was I was getting confused with the stores, I thought that every store had a number like store one is this hack store two has this hack and so on, but I found out that's not the case, so what that means is, if you have say hacked in total 14 stores around the map that's random stores the next store number hack will be 15.
So what you do is on the hack store help video is play the video until you reach number 15 and that is the next help to hacking a store and that any store in saint row 4.

This is what I did, first take your time and count up the number of stores you have successfully hacked, then look at this hack store help video and go to the next number pause on the number you need and alt and tab and switch backwards and forwards in and out of the game, carefully checking you are going in the right direction using the hack symbols, the video will explain better, if you need further help with this give me a shout, ow and good luck.
