    3rd character (virus research)

    It’s been a while since I leveled a character. I forgot how annoying these virus research encounters are to unlock recovery link. Any tips?

    Run them before activating the first scanner. Find them all first. Kill the NPCs at the laptop. Then go back and run it.

    Don't be embarrassed to follow a Youtube guide.

    I like the Virus search missions.
    I like how you had to listen to the environment and find your way around.

    I can’t believe I didn’t even think to run through first and find them all before I activate the first scanner. Thanks mckrackin!

    I guess I don’t pay attention to the sound enough. Does it help direct you to them?

    The only one that really gave me any trouble,was the mall..
    Figuring out the elevator and turning on the power..

    It's the only one that had me trying to remember the route,when it came up on all my other characters turn to do it..

    All the rest from what I remember was ,just checking out each floor really well before heading upward to the roof..

    The parking garage where the second one is actually down a couple floors instead of up.

    That was the last one I needed. I can’t believe I didn’t think to look down before I went up.

    Yea,I just meant check everything out before going up to the roof..
    I think there is only one mission that has one of those boxes on the roof..

    I remember some of them being in such obvious places right in front of me and running right by them because they blend in so well..The first time anyways..

    Another one that had me running in circles the first time,was the one in the ground in Madison square park..That was like a maze the first time..lol

    With the sound up you can hear the beeping of the machines.
    The closer you are the louder they get so you can home in on them by listening for them.

    Out of all of them, I only had trouble with 1, which was in a mall and you had to go up and down stairs, outside and inside, and activate buttons to open doors.
    I struggled with it but it's my favorite because it was hard but fair.
