Strategy Guide/Tips [ edit ]

Find a good spot - Find a spot that has alleys and weaves around. You have infinite time, if you need to, wait. Be patient. Find a complex spot that allows ease of escape and difficulty in a sense that it's not just a square block.

USE YOUR DRONE TO START THE HACK!!! -Why? So you can get close to the person. Ive found that the drone goes roughly 100m plus some with the timer going off. Use all 100m and distance Yourself from the target, If the timer starts counting down get as close as possible with the drone then retrieve it if need be or start the hack. Your circle will be far away from them and not close anymore.

Try to stay out of line of sight! - With net hack it makes it SO easy to spot people as you already know. SO, Find a shop, hide under a freeway if they're ontop of it. Hide in a parking garage. Hide between a car and a tight wall. (Such as the biohazard special vehicle location)

HACK! - Cause as much madness as you can, if the player is getting close to you and youre in a car. Hack nearby cars and drive crazy yourself to blend in. You have so many tools. Call the police so that if he shoots he will have to deal with them.

Don't stay in one spot - you have a big range at first, circle around him and stay around him and try to stay on the outmost rim of the circle, be mobile and take cover but also know how much room you have and a general sense of where they are.

Wait- you have infinite time so plan. Don't ever rush. Find your perfect spot. If they're in a car, hack their car to move away as fast as possible and start it so you get room. Your a hacker! Use that hacker brain.

Keep a drone in the air to monitor what your victim is doing, this gives you minimap vision of them even if they are on the other side of a building. This vision goes away after a moment if you go back to controlling your character, so sporadically go back to the drone to see what they are up to

The mass shutdown hack (the same that causes a blackout later down the skill tree) actually affects enemy drones, so use it if they are getting close

Calling the police around is an excellent idea, specially if there are gangs about to cause a shootout and confusion. If you get profiled, the victim will have a hard time shooting at you if you try to escape with cops in sight

Directly killing a victim is not allowed, but if they get themselves killed (like with engaging cops or gangs) it doesn't stop the mission, they just respawn after a few seconds and the mission keeps going

If there's a big and nice restricted area with alive goons inside you can take a risk and go hide there. If you are good at it the reward outweights the risk, since they will have to go search inside it (harder than just go hide), their drones can be spotted and shot (unlikely but they still need to be careful), and even if they profile you it's harder for them to just stroll in and kill you.

Aside from hacking from as far away as possible with the drone, doing it while they are climbing a tall building, infiltrating a restricted area or just engaged with enemies means they have to stop doing all of that + get to where you actually are which leads to a lot of hacking time being done for free
