Fallout players everywhere were horrified to learn that they had made hacking much more difficult than before. And they have been doing it for years.
The Fallout franchise is currently enjoying some decent time in the sun. Fallout 76 better than ever Fallout 4 There was a huge new update and Amazon he read The series was the catalyst behind it.
As more people pick up Fallout for the first time, many new discoveries are made. And I have to say that I was personally shocked when I noticed this little hacking mystery.
For those unfamiliar with the Fallout games, it is possible to hack certain terminals to access personal documents, disable defenses, or open doors and safes.
Hacking in Fallout involves a logic mini-game… not for everyone. Basically, you have four attempts to crack the password, and after each attempt you can see how close it is to the password by determining the characters and their specific placement, which remains the same with each attempt.
For example, a hacking attempt in Fallout can be done like this: Dead (1/4) – Dunn (3/4) – Dude (Success).
If you guess four times and it doesn’t work, the device will be locked. In some Fallout games, this means that you are permanently banned unless you find the password written down somewhere during the game Fallout 4 You can wait for some time and try again.
But all Fallout games have an easy way out. As Jamie Moran points out TwitterNot only can you remove the “failed” words, but you can reset your attempts if you close the terminal after the third attempt.
Well, I guess some people knew that, but judging by the reaction on Twitter, many of us didn’t.
Fall, you Hurrensohn.
