cant hack lockers

CraZy · 2003-09-11, 05:22 AM

well yesterday when i was able to play i noticed that i cant hack lockers of enemys and repair_silo(outside the base main building)
i have Avd Hack and i supposed to hack everything...but when im closing to enemy locker that is title Access Locker im trying to hack it but there is no progress bar or that red thingy that hacks.
same with that repair_silo.....

Repair silos have not been implemented yet. Lockers havnt been able to be hacked since beta. That was the one real plus to regular hack was locker hacking. Now you might as well hold off for the package deal.

another quaestion..is that possible to destroy respawn tube? i shot it 20 magazines of Lancer.....nothing

Yes, it is. It just doesn't give you any pretty lights and animation to tell you you've destroyed it. I usually am able to destroy one with about 60-80 shots from the Lasher.

Yeah, it sux that you cant hack lockers nemore...

Just because your adv. hack doesn't mean you could hack everything it means you could hack a lot of things. You could hack everything in Planetside that is hackable. But not everything is. Here is why I think you can't hack lockers. If the base is hacked and people just respawn and can't use the terminals. Where do they go to get there equipment? The lockers, so that way they kind of have a fighting chance to resurect the base.

3 Decimator rockets (1 full Decimator) will destroy a tube. I know 3 boomers will also blow up a tube. Not sure about the less powerful weapons.

Since tubes don't show a "blowing up" animation like terminals, keep an eye on the map. When all tubes are blown, a little tube icon will appear next to the base, similar to the lightning bolt icon when the generator is blown.

you can no longer hack implant terms either.

Madcat170 · 2003-09-11, 12:02 PM

Guess devs added that bug then cos u used to be able to see spawn tubes blowing up.

They didn't used to but they do now.

umm, not sure what you are trying to say, but they dont have an animation in current patch as of today. They do however show as previously stated up o the map with the icon.

Flammey · 2003-09-20, 09:18 AM

You can now.... problem solved
