Mission: Pawnee ctOS Control Center 

Objective: Locate a guard with the access code. 

Take a boat to the east side of the ctOS control center. There’s a guard patrolling the far right (northeast) building that has a hidden camera. Access this camera, then quickly access the camera across the area to the left. Keep in mind you cannot access a camera if you’re still driving the boat, so disengage from steering the boat in order to hack the camera. 

Scan the guards here with the camera to see if you can find the one with the access code. The one you’re looking for has a wide patrol, so depending on when you’re looking through the camera, he could be anywhere (usually he’s on one end or the other, not in the middle). Generally he starts on the northeast side, so you may want to swing the camera to the left to switch to the camera across the way, closer to the guard’s typical position. Once you’ve found the guard, hack him to get the access code.

Objective: Hack the ctOS server.

Objective: Leave the area. 

Steer your boat a little further north to find a moderately large fallen tree near the ctOS server location (marked on your map). Navigate your boat under the fallen tree and park it as close to the rocks on the left as you can. From here, you can step off the boat onto the rocks, then walk up the cliff to the fenced area where the server is located. It may look too steep to climb, but Aiden does it with ease. 

There’s one guard (the one with the hidden camera) who patrols near the fenced area. Wait until he turns around before you move around the fenced area and through the doorway on the far side. Once you’re inside, hack the interlude to begin another mini-game. 

This puzzle begins with a timed point already ticking, so time is of the essence. Turn the timed point twice, then move to the point in the lower right corner (not the final point), unlock it, then turn it once (two clicks in total). Move to the top right point and turn it once, then turn the middle point once and turn the timed point three more times to unlock the final point in the lower right corner which grants access to the camera. Move the camera up and switch to the one in the middle of the room, which provides access to the hacking point. Leave the area the same way you came in to complete the mission.
