Boosting 101 Hacking Method

[BTHRZeroX]

I am creating this thread for those who do not know the current method of boosting the "Hacking Method". We'll start with the basic loadout

 

Loadout

 

Now it is recommended you be at least Rank 24 as you will have "Speedy Hacker" and it will make things go a lot faster, though if you are not Rank 24 do not worry, this method works the same regardless of Rank it just goes faster with Speedy Hacker.

 

Weapon 1: Any

Weapon 2: Any

Plasmid 1: Electro Bolt

Plasmid 2: Winter Blast

Tonic 1: Repairman (Rank 22)

Tonic 2: Speedy Hack (Rank 24)

Tonic 3: Eve Saver (Rank 7)

 

Electro Bolt - Allows you to disable a hacked Turret.
Winter Blast - Allows you to freeze a hacked Vending Machine.
Repairman - Allows you to repair a destroyed Turret
Speedy Hack - Allows you to hack Turrets and Vending Machines faster.
Eve Saver - Allows you to use Plasmids at a reduce cost of EVE

 

Players and Match Settings

 

You will need 6 players to make this run perfectly, any less and you risk running into randoms and most of the time they do not like to play nice.

Now you can only have 5 players in a lobby so what you will need to do is get your team together and then search these settings.

 

Find A Match

Adam Grab

 

Once you are in the waiting lobby you can get your 6th player to search or try and invite them in.

 

Maps

 

What you are after is maps with 3 or more Turrets placed on them, and Veto those that do not. Blow is a list of the maps that have 3 or more Turrets a list of 2 or less.

 

Maps with 3 Turrets
- Arcadia
- Mercury Suites
- Neptune's Bounty
- Point Prometheus

 

So avoid the below as much as possible.

 

Maps with 2 Turrets
- Farmer's Market
- Fort Frolic
- Hephaestus
- Home For The Poor
- Kashmir's Restaurant
- Medical Pavilion

 

The Hacking Method

 

Now down to the Hardest Method in the world! Ok I am joking, it is rather simple split in to teams of two find a Turret and take turns hacking it. It couldn't be any simpler.

 

BUT now if you get in a map with 2 or less Turrets you'll need to find Vending Machines, this is where Winter Blast comes into play.

 

Player 1 Hacks the Vending Machine and Freezes it.

Player 2 Hacks the Vending Machine.

Player 1 Freeze's the Vending Machine, Hacks it and Re-Freezes it.

 

and So forth Player 1 making sure they are picking up the EVE from the Vending Machine to keep it frozen at all times. Because you don't want a grenade in your face while hacking.

Ok that's it! really its rather straight forward, H4><0RZ 4 TEH WIN!

 

Just One More Thing!

 

Since you are playing Adam Grab, LEAVE THE LITTLE SISTER ALONE!!! if she goes untouched every player will get the first place Adam Bonus with is a little helpful when leveling.

 

Hope this helps for future players of the game.

Under maps, you've put blow instead of below and you may want to add dlc maps and how to boost Territorial. Great job nonetheless!

Also, there's a glitch with Territorial where the trophy may not unlock after having tied or "won" on all the dlc maps that can be fixed by having people take turns winning once all the maps have been played and tied for win on. The dlc maps are infrequent and it can be time consuming trying to get wins on all the maps. It only takes one impatient asshole to ruin a session by grabbing a little sister on a map that you've been waiting two hours to spawn because he is worried because his trophy didn't pop.

Reason I didn't add anything to do with the DLC Maps is because I have yet to actually play them outside of a solo Private Match.

 

But if you want both Territorial and Aqua Incognita with ease you can host a Private Adam Grab Match on each map grab the little sister and win. Then with look find a match on a DLC Map and try to win. It will give both trophies with only really playing one Match.

Thanks for this post.  Came in handy when setting up my boosting session.

We had some griefer asshole squatting our session in ADAM grab and we struggled to get into a lobby together as group of 5 + 1 searcher: he'd be the one pulled in - not our 6th.  Seems with our searcher and the griefer searching in the lobby, neither of us would go through - it's then a waiting game of who blinks first and leaves the lobby.  Whoever remains, goes through and fills place number 6.

 

Our solution was to make 2 groups of 3 and then group leads trigger the search.

 

Not 100% sure on how B2's matchmaking logic works, but this worked for us and we got matched together first time round.  Untested (as it worked nicely!) - figure the added advantage of this, is if it fails and picks him, the match wouldn't start immediately as the group would be 4/6, so you have a chance to back off and try again.

 

Good luck!

welp thought i would give an update about the playerbase there is still a dedicated but small pool who like to crash the session so having 6 is a good idea 4+2 bots works great as well. using the party of 5 plus one to search works also
