The area is heavily guarded. There is a scissor lift on the south side of the building. You can use it to get on the roof and then use the jumper and jump down to the terrace next to the suitcase. In this way, you will skip the majority of the guards.
Coit Tower▶ show the map ◀
Research: Marksmanship: Strong Grip
It's a suitcase lying on the ground next to the hedge under a wooden gazebo located in a restricted area.
Aerial view of the restricted area.
You can use the ventilation duct show on the picture below to get near the suitcase but if your jumper can jump higher (upgraded spring), then you should just jump over the hedge.
Crystal Springs Dam▶ show the map ◀
Research: Tinkering: Electro Shock Optimization
It's a suitcase inside the building which is located in a restricted area.
Use the crane to get to the roof of the building. Be careful, dont let the red bottle fall down, you need it. Marcus can stay outside the restricted zone, you can use RC Jumper to get there.
Blow up the bottle. Explosion should destroy the boards covering the hole in the roof or at least make a hole big enough for the jumper. Jump inside, pick up the suitcase and recall the jumper.
Elmhurst▶ show the map ◀
Research: Social Engineering: Gang War
It is a suitcase lying on a pile of fibreboards in the backyard, which is a restricted area.
The best way to pick it up, would be to sneak into the backyard with the help of the jumper.
Embarcadero Center▶ show the map ◀

Research: Vehicle Hacking: Engine Override
It's a suitcase located in the garage in the underground parking. The garage is a restricted area guarded by three security guys.
Ferry Building▶ show the map ◀
Research: Remote Ctrl: Remote Gadgets
It's an antenna on top of the Ferry Building tower. Use the quadcopter and hack it remotely.

"Set nodes" puzzle is quite simple but huge and you should use the quadcopter to solve it.
Galilei▶ show the map ◀
Research: Tinkering: Explosive Optimization
It's a remotely hackable but locked antenna mounted on the top of the metal pole located in a restricted area.
The antenna is located at the top of the metal pole and you can easily get to it using the quadcopter, but you must first activate the closed circuit terminal which is at the top of the watchtower located in the restricted area.
You should start in the spot shown in the picture below and climb onto the big container. Then you can activate the jumper, jump over the fence and hack the closed circut terminal connected to the gate in the fence.
You can also jump onto the wall surrounding the area and with a little luck (good timing is the key) sneak around the tower, stun the guard, climb the ladder and quickly activate closed circuit terminal. Evacuate to safe spot! Now you can activate the quadcopter and remotely hack the antenna.
Jack London Square▶ show the map ◀
Research: City Disruption: System Crash Upgrade: Blackout
The suitcase is inside the barrack with ctOS label on it, located on a roof of the building.
The roof can be accessed through the staircase shown in the screenshot below.
The roof is patrolled by several guards, so the best way would be to sneak into the barrack with the help of the jumper.
Kirby Cove▶ show the map ◀
Research: Marksmanship: Steady Hands
It's a suitcase lying on the ground inside the concrete bunker, which is a restricted area.
The restricted area is very small, there are two entrances to the bunker and some traps around, so disabling the guards and dogs or distracting / sneaking with RC Jumper should be quite easy.
Lombard Street▶ show the map ◀
Research: Tinkering: Tweaked Blast
It's a hackable electronic device hidden under the wooden terrace on the roof of the building. Activate the quadcopter, fly up, and hack it remotely.
New Dawn Facility▶ show the map ◀
Research: City Disruption: Security System Shutdown
Nudle Park▶ show the map ◀
Research: Marksmanship: Keen Eye
It's a suitcase inside the red shipping container located in a restricted area.
The entrance to the container is blocked by two pallets with goods. You can move them with a nearby forklift, but it will be much easier and faster to use the jumper, sneak to the container and squeeze through the hole above the pallets.
Aerial view of the restricted area.
Palo Alto▶ show the map ◀
Research: Remote Ctrl: Enhanced Spring
It's a remotely hackable but locked antenna mounted on top of the building.
You must first activate the closed circuit terminal. The terminal is at the ground level but entrance is blocked by pallets of construction materials. You can move them by ramming them with the car or by using a forklift.
You can find a forklift next to the building across the intersection towards the north.
An antenna is on top of the building so you need to use the quadcopter and hack it remotely.
Prescott▶ show the map ◀
Research: Marksmanship: Fast Trigger Finger
It is a suitcase liying on the ground in the backyard, which is a restricted area.
The place is heavily guarded so it is best to use the jumper, distract the guards, and quickly sneak near the suitcase.

Research: Remote Ctrl: Expert RC Engineering
It's a small electronic device inside a small building located near the corner of the restricted area.
Approach the restricted area from the rocky side, activate the jumper and drive through the hole in the fence. Find another hole in the wall of the building and drive through it.
Swan Leavitt Observatory▶ show the map ◀
Research: Social Engineering: Botnet Savings: Personal Devices

If you want to do it quietly then you should use the jumper and start at the front gate.
Go through a hole at the base of the inner fence.
Sneak to the back and jump on the palette and then onto the metal platform adjacent to the building (you need improved jump height).
The Gates Houseboats▶ show the map ◀
Research: City Discuption: Massive System Crash
It's a hackable electronic device inside a small, locked box in the annex located on the top of the auto repair building.
To get there you need to use a nearby forklift and you need upgraded (improved jump height) jumper. Raise the platform of the forklift, activate the jumper, and jump on top of it. Now you will be able to jump on the roof of the auto repair building (adjoining building is slightly lower so if you have any problem then you can try to jump onto it).
Enter the annex and activate the closed circuit terminal located on the other side of the wall. Open the box and hack the electronic device inside.
