Palo Alto

RESTRICTED AREAS

Area Faction Enemies
Police 5 officers
Sons of Ragnarok 6 gang members
Umeni Security Corps 3 guards
Sons of Ragnarok 2 gang members

KEY DATA

Key Data in Palo Alto

Get this key data as soon as possible, since it lets you research Enhanced Spring, which improves the height of your RC Jumper. The ctOS security breach is on the roof of the Palo Alto city hall. Go to the building’s eastern corner to find the CCT. Deploy the RC Jumper and jump onto a crate; then drive into the shack where the terminal is located. Hack the terminal and send the Quadcopter up to hack the security breach and get the key data.

RESEARCH POINTS

You can hack the research from a ctOS security breach on the roof of a building. You need to use the RC Jumper to get it. Locate the garbage container in the opening in the middle of the building. Hop the RC Jumper from the garbage to an air duct, to an air-conditioning unit, and to the roof. From there, drive to an air duct near the CCT. Drive through the duct and jump into the area where the CCT is located. Hack the CCT and then the security breach to get the data.

This is one of the easiest research points to get. Climb up the stairs to reach the upper walkway of this building. Find the research on a table. Pick it up.

MONEY

Money Bag

This money bag is located behind a pallet of boxes. Use the nearby forklift to move the pallet so you can get the money.

Sport Bag

The sport bag is in an air duct on the roof of a building with several police officers around. Marcus has to get this himself, since it requires climbing ladders. Watch the police officers as they patrol. When it is clear, hop over the fence at the western corner and hide behind a crate. Continue up the nearby ladder to the first-floor roof. Climb up another ladder and hide behind an HVAC unit on the roof. Now just wait for the officer on the roof to look away so you can get to the air duct where the sport bag is located. You can also send the RC Jumper to get it.

Money Bag

This money bag is located behind a locked grate. The CCT is on the building’s roof. Locate a scissor lift to the southwest; use it to get onto the building southwest of the money bag. Once on the roof, deploy the RC Jumper and drive it off the wooden ramp so you can jump it across to the building where the terminal is located. Hack it and then get down to the alley. Open the grate to get the money bag.

Sport Bag

Several gang members guard this sport bag in an alley. There is no way to sneak the RC Jumper in to get this money. You need to stun or take out the gang members. Position yourself by the low fence on the alley’s southwest side. Fly the Quadcopter over the alley to scout it out. There are three enemies near a transformer vault, one near an HVAC unit, and one patrolling near a gas pipe. Place a trap on the pipe; when it detonates, hack the vault and the HVAC unit as quickly as possible. Only one foe remaining, near where Marcus is located. Hop over the fence and stun him with the taser. Then run to grab the sport bag and get out of there before they all wake up.

Sport Bag

This sport bag is in a duct on the roof of a pawnshop. Just climb up the ladder behind the shop to get on the roof. Deploy the RC Jumper to go into the duct and get the money.

Money Bag

This money bag is in park and guarded by two gang members. Position yourself to the east so you are out of sight. Send in the RC Jumper. Use a phone hack to distract the one gang member who is patrolling. Then roll in to get the money.

Sport Bag

There are three guards near this sport bag in an underground parking garage. Send the Quadcopter inside and view the guards. There are two junction boxes and a gas pipe. If you time it right, you can take care of all three guards in quick succession. Then just run in and get the sport bag of money. If you miss one with the hacks, move in and distract with a phone hack, then stun with the taser.

PAINT

Jumper Paint Job

Look in a parking lot next to a building to find this paint. There is no one guarding it, so just walk to it and pick it up.
