Icebreaker - Achievement Friendly Auto Hack

PLEASE NOTE: This is an Achievement Friendly version of the free Creation Skeleton Key - Simple Auto Hack, which is available for PC and Xbox. While Icebreaker has some immersion and visual upgrades, the base functionality of auto-hacking is available in both mods. Please keep this in mind when choosing which version you wish to install. Thank you for your support.

DESCRIPTION

Icebreaker is a balanced, immersive implementation of auto-hacking in Starfield that grants players the ability to skip the Digipicking minigame under certain circumstances.

When Auto-Hacking, the default interaction changes to Bypass - which will automatically expend Digipicks to hack locks. Manual hacking is still available via the alternate interaction - [R] on keyboard or [X] on controller.

There is a chance to fail a Bypass and lose Digipicks. This chance of failure decreases with advances to your Security skill rank and progress collecting Superuser magazines.

There are two ways players can gain access to Auto-Hacking.

SUPERUSER MAGAZINES

Superuser was an indie hacker 'zine in the early days of the Settled Systems, known for its hard-hitting technical analysis and dry humor. Now, issues are scattered throughout the cosmos in the hands of hackers and squares alike.

The ability to Bypass novice locks is unlocked after finding a single magazine. Further issues will increase your Bypass ability to allow auto-hacking even stronger locks, up to Expert tier - all while using less Digipicks and succeeding more often.

THE ICE-BREAKER PROTOTYPE

Ryujin Industries has been hard at work in the cybersecurity sector for ages, and has finally come up with a comprehensive solution to digital security - well, at least for breaking it...

The Icebreaker tool will be given to you upon completion of the Ryujin Questline. It can auto-hack any lock up to Master tier without expending any digipicks. However, if the authorities happen to search you or your ship and find it, they will happily confiscate it.

GAMEPLAY OPTIONS

Icebreaker can be enabled or disabled at will under Gameplay Options. Additionally, Auto-Activation after successful Bypasses can be toggled on and off. When enabled, unlocked objects will be activated after a brief pause. This may open doors, terminals, or containers automatically.

HINTS

Issues of Superuser can be found in the following locations:

• A Hacker's apartment in a lightning-powered city.
• The Governor's Quarters in an underground mining city.
• Confiscated by the Guards in a bustling frontier city.
• A Thief's apartment in a city that never sleeps.

The Icebreaker tool is a reward for completing the entire Ryujin questline. As soon as these are complete, a quest marker will be available to lead you to it.
