Practice suggestions, not measured results
- Leave a computer near the exit for last, so the door pull is short.
- Split up. A shared computer still counts as one completion toward the quota; this is not a claim that extra hackers cannot speed up that computer. A failed check can reveal both players at that location.
- Close doors behind you. They break line of sight. They do not stop a thin-wall swing.
- Save when the Beast is gone. A failed save puts two people on the floor. The first successful save in the round is 20 credits and 100 XP.
- In a 1v1, community pages say to loop windows and vents instead of running a straight hallway.
Pods
You cannot free yourself. If the Beast is standing on the pod, the damage pause is real, but so is the camping penalty in the rules. Call the save only when you can finish the interact. The interact key is F on PC.

Questions
How do I hack quietly?
Pass the skill check. There is no separate mute key in the sources we used.
Where do I hide from Seer?
Cabinets are the stable hide. Grass, leaf piles, and snow also break Seer on the powers page. Accessories can stick out.
What is a flick?
Players use it for a fast turn or stop. It is not an official move with a listed input.
