When you reach level 4 in any BLADE field skill, mysterious missions entitled “Off the Record” will show up in Mission Control. The objectives to these missions are hidden behind riddles, and for good reason: Completing these missions allows you to push your field skills to level 5! Here are the keys to cracking the code.
