How to complete Operation Shopping Hacks
- Hack the laptop by the window of Lieutenant Jang-ui’s encampment. The code for mall security then shows in your own objective tracker.
- Enter the code at mall security. In the Security Annex, start the generator and read the note on the workbench laptop.
- Collect four working K9 battery cores from disabled robot dogs before they explode. Only the Rare working cores fit; the common destroyed ones do not. Insert them at the lab terminal.
- Hack all five lab computers. When one shows an error during the network breach, restart it and keep defending the room.
- After the servers reboot, loot the vault in the lab tent and follow the markers to the rooftop exfil.
Tips for Operation Shopping Hacks
- Robot dogs explode after they are disabled, so grab the core quickly or stay back.
