whitefurr Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I've been playing this game nearly a decade now. MR 26 with loads of experience and knowledge. But I just learned last week the quick button to use the Gear Cipher is the "Y" button key. =( I'm sorry. XD 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Kakurine2 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 You mean the gear wheel thing with pizzas, espers, etc? Of course the controls change based on platgorm and csn be altered by us players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
---RNGesus--- Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Always knew that. This is how me & all my teammates would quickly hack all panels during raids. Also, pressing Y in a squad screen as host used to disband that squad idk if it's applicable anymore.

Or as i call it panties. The platform your on makes a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapn655321 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Yep. I have never known what that button was. Thanks for that, OP. Since I have things hotkeyed all different, I figured that function was forfeit. Using Cipher has always Always meant clicking on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CrazyBeaTzu Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 On Ps4 it says under the hack "Triangle to use cipher" or whatever. Since you said Y, I assume you're xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitefurr Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sorry about that to clarify I'm on PC. There is no key config on the PC settings on what the Y is used for. It is a reserved key, it won't show it but pressing y during a hacking on PC auto uses the cipher. Hope this kinda helps to new or old player.

I believe it is same to all platforms but of course different key to press. Except on sortie, nightmare and Arbitration they can't be used.

(PSN)Kakurine2 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Personally even when i use my newbie pc account i just have a xbox 1 controler plugged in. So auto hacking is still y or triangle. To hell with key and mouse keybinding lol. Edited April 14, 2020 by (PS4)Kakurine2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talinthis Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) i found it by accident about a year ago but i didnt find out until recently that there is no keybinding in the game that actually tells you that Y is used for something, at least that i can find.

kapn655321 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Interesting to note, that is hard coded to Y, since I have Y set to do some different non-default function in my control scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many actually that the game didn't tell you but it is there. Like you can put your pet's bed outside the orbiter and it sleeps outside.

I do eidoleons a whole lot and I didn't know this, a lot probably don't as most aren't probably knit picky like me on just moving the mouse to the cipher button. Wasn't bothering me, I just discovered this by accident while I accidentally press Y key while drinking coffee haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0_The_F00l Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Real ninjas don't use ciphers... Unless they are the type you need to farm specific nodes for to beat the razorback. Real ninjas frantically press space or twist those twisty thingie till the door opens. I wish there was an actual ninja esque way to traverse those doors through a hidden entrance (I already know the ways around spy vaults, I meant for the rest of the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldain Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I must be weird then, I knew this since I first built and used a Cipher way back when I started. Must have been some weird instinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
