Guest SSA625 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I play solo a lot, and when I do, it really annoys me when I try to hack a lock-down and then get attacked by a melee enemy who critically hits me with each hit, meaning I'm dead before I can finish hacking 2/3 times. If something can be done to make the person hacking invulnerable ONLY when doing so, I'd love that. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIll3RX15 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 try clearing out the enemies before hacking ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurilica Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If you're locked in, that also means that no new enemies can enter the room. You kill everything in there and then hack it open. Why would there be any need for hacking invulnerability? Don't be lazy and clear the room first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shion963 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's a lockdown, meaning no enemies can enter the room you're in. Just deal with everyone in it first and then hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzhal Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah. I actually appreciate lockdowns sometimes, if only because they give me a respite from the occasional neverending stream of enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukinoki Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah. I actually appreciate lockdowns sometimes, if only because they give me a respite from the occasional neverending stream of enemies. I actually had a lockdown occur during a mobile defense mission. Made it an absolute cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inez Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I actually had a lockdown occur during a mobile defense mission. Made it an absolute cakewalk. The same thing happened to me today, So naturally one of my teamies hacked the console :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Shang Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The same thing happened to me today, So naturally one of my teamies hacked the console :( Must have been a new guy then :) To the OP, lockdowns work to your advantage. You even hear Lotus say that the area has been locked and a quick scan of the area will reveal that most doors are locked as well. Enemies beating you up at that point seems like poor insight to me.

Mattyrogue Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah, you can also use Lockdowns to your advantage, for example; Using the Paris to blast out a window on the Spaceship tileset can quickly turn an observation deck into a death chamber and leave your pursuers sucking vacuum. Please do note though that it is a highly inefficient way to kill them though (because they drain health at roughly the same rate as a Warframe) and eventually the decompression effects the rest of the map and causes some really trippy S#&$ to happen (I.E. damage effects strewn across the level, decompression sound effects lingering even though your past the lockout).

Dancingfirefly Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) You can also buy an item called a 'Cipher'. 250 credits will buy you four. A cipher can be used to instantly succeed at a hack attempt and is very nice to have if you are under fire, or if there's an evironmental hazard while locked in. It's always a good idea to have at least 1-2 ciphers with you while on a mission. Edited April 3, 2013 by Dancingfirefly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimmLiberty Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I love lockdowns because I can AFK for a BIO.... LOL.... and the idea of a lockdown on defense is trippy... seems like that should be reported as a bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilme3333 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If you notice you're getting hit while hacking hit Esc to stop and deal with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
