This opening mission is a tutorial of sorts, and introduces basic movement, combat, and stealth mechanics.

Wipe Your Profile

Simply follow the on-screen prompts and waypoints until you make it inside the building.

Once inside make your way up the steps around the central column of servers until you reach the waypoint - there are few guards and plenty of cover to hide behind on your way. Hack the server and then stay out of sight nearby until shutdown is complete.

Carry on up another couple of floors, climb the ladder into the server tower, and open the hatch. After the cutscene head down one floor and open the door ahead. Keep out of sight of the guard on the upper level of this room and head for the far end, climb onto the ledge, and down the steps into the main control room.

Hack the panel on the left of the curved panel to encounter your first puzzle:

  1. Follow the cable to the first elbow switch and turn it to connect the two wires.
  2. Follow the cable to the second switch and do likewise.
  3. Return to the panel and unlock the switch.

Retrace your steps and keep heading down until you reach the lowest floor. Follow the waypoints to the boiler room to end the introductory mission.

A brief shopping/driving/3D printing tutorial follows, but as with the opening moments just follow the waypoints and on-screen prompts, and don't forget that fast travel is available right from the outset!

Walk in the Park

Head to the park and activate NetHack and scan the area for an orange glow to pick up one of the game's many Side Operations. You don't have to complete this if you don't want to - you can simply return back to the HackerSpace HQ to pick up the next mission, CyberDriver.
