7.1 REMOTE CONTROL

Location / The Loop // The Bunker

Location / The Wards // Rossi-Fremont

Investigation

Data Hack

Difficulty:

Once you and Clara agree to start working as a team, head down to the main console and access the security network of Rossi-Fremont. This objective is extremely easy to complete, but the second objective—finding a computer network matching the IP address you’re searching for—is a lot more involved. Fortunately, you can find it from the relative comfort of the Bunker.

Passive // Smart: Entering the Fortress

Difficulty:

Work methodically through the Viceroys’ territory. Profile both of the Viceroy gang members and listen to their chatter if you wish. Then turn the first camera you find left, and access a webcam and the network hotspot.

Solution: Hotspot 1

The hotspot intrusion connects you farther up the Rossi-Fremont tower to an elevator courtyard with strewn weapons and gangbangers everywhere. Profile everyone if you wish, but your eye should be drawn to the cell phone on the planter to the left, in front of the vending machines. Hack that, then check the elevator. Call it, access the camera inside, and look left, accessing the elevator panel and heading to the upper floors.

There are multiple cameras on this double balcony level, and the camera can pan all the way down to the courtyard. Note the guard standing near a locked door under the rubble of a collapsed balcony—remember this for a future mission. Access the top-floor camera and then the one attached to one of the Viceroys. Watch as he patrols the corridor, turning the corner to a network hotspot. Hack it!

Solution: Hotspot 2

Farther up the tenement block is an arcade room with Viceroys and ATM machines, a pool table, and assorted graffiti. Check the arcade cabinets; that game name certainly looks familiar! Then check the camera across by the pool table light. Next, hack a laptop with an interesting e-mail on it, and access a laptop webcam.

Ignore the ATM camera (or hack it for another view), and pan the webcam up through the hole in the concrete to a storage room filled with pills. First, check the floor near the toilet to your right for a phone with another Audio Log on it. There are two laptops—one to hack and the other to use its camera to reach a camera in the subsequent hallway. Flit through the hallway from camera to camera, past the elevator to your third hacking hotspot.

Solution: Hotspot 3

You’re at the top of the tenement block. Look through the blue sheeting at a cluster of Viceroys, but the camera is to your right, through a hole in the blue tarp. Then connect to the camera in the narcotic room, another across the broken breeze-block wall, and the next one into a dark corridor with a door to unlock (you can’t access that door during this mission).

It seems like you can’t continue on, but wait a moment for a Viceroy with a connected camera to walk into the dark corridor and access his cam. He walks past some shutters and around to a room with a phone (containing another Audio Log) and two cameras. Either camera is fine to move to, and you can startle the gang member by opening the shutters.

7.2 POP GOES THE WEASEL

Location / The Wards // Rossi-Fremont

Look out of the computer room to a camera that leads to a corridor and a network cable that leads into the room to which the IP address of the computer Damien gave you is tied. Moments later, the Viceroy leader, known as “Iraq,” steps out from the room, his dog tags holding the access code. He’s joined by his portly cousin Tyrone “Bedbug” Hayes. After one of his underlings utters a punch line, you witness Iraq’s lack of humor in no uncertain terms. Bedbug is given a case, a key to infiltrating farther. Your clandestine quest now concludes.
