Tips
  • Hostile bots roam the Mall area and will attack on sight. You cannot fight them, so your goal is to avoid them by running (SHIFT) or hiding behind obstacles.
  • Your C.A.T. tool has three uses per battery. Check its charge by pressing R.
  • Keycodes and ID numbers are randomized per player. Always check your in-game database or suit for the correct codes.
  • There are Wireless Access Points in various locations to save progress and view current tasks.
