    How to unlock Hacktivist

    Unobtainable due to server shutdown

    The Hacking Ability is one of the Insurgent's two default abilities. It allows you to hack enemy abilities with (much like you would deconstruct them), except once hacked they will turn to your faction. You must do this a total of 400 times to reach maximum level. This can be a little frustrating to do, as it means constantly getting close enough to enemy abilities to be able to hack them without getting killed yourself. Given people tend to stay within close proximity of their abilities, you may find yourself dying whenever you try hack something. If you intend to do this legitimately, then I would recommend attempting this in a Warzone, where people will be distracted by the objectives. Capture Connect and Search & Destroy are probably the best missions to do it during, as people are confining themselves to a certain area.

    If you choose to boost this, the best way to do so is have you and your partner place a Tactical Echo Emitter directly next to each other, then kill yourself and change to Insurgent. Once you respawn, simply hack the Emitter with . If the Emitters are close enough together, you won't even need to move at all, just press every so often. Hacking a piece of equipment will reset the timer on it, meaning you won't have to replace the equipment at all. The reason the Tactical Echo Emitter is recommended is because every time one is constructed, it will immediately let off an initial pulse, tagging any enemies within range. Given you'll constantly be hacking them, every hack will result in a tag as well, allowing you to level the hacking ability and the Tactical Echo Emitter simultaneously.

    You can hack the following abilities:
    • Spawn Beacon
    • Turret
    • Supply Box
    • Nano Shield
    • E-Pulse Emitter
    • Tactical Echo Emitter
