Hack the WiFi device inside the duct.

Research Point

Research PointResearch Point, Oakland▶ show the map ◀

It's an antenna mounted on the wall in an alley between buildings.

It's in a restricted area.

Before you will be able to hack the antenna, you need to hack a closed circuit terminal located on the upper level. You need to use a ladder to get to that level so you have to go there as Marcus.

Research Point

Pick up the item.

Research Point

Research PointResearch Point, Oakland▶ show the map ◀

It's an antenna on top of the Oakland City Hall.

RC Quadcopter has too short vertical range to be able to get to the antenna from the ground level so you need to find a "high spot", for example the roof of the building where another research point can be found. Check the description of previous research point to find out how to get there.

Research PointResearch Point, Oakland▶ show the map ◀

It's an electronic device in the small, fenced area on the roof.

There is a scissor lift in the courtyard.

Research Point

Use it to get to the upper level of the building.

Research Point

But you can use RC Jumper with upgraded jump height and jump over the fence.

Research Point

you can hack terminal and unlock the gate or simply pick up the item.

Research Point

Research PointResearch Point, Oakland▶ show the map ◀

An antenna mounted on the wall of the building.

You can hack the antena remotely from the street, but first you need to hack close circuit terminal located on the roof.

Research Point

Go to the back of the building but don't enter a restricted area. If you can remotely control external devices (required research: Remote Ctrl: Environmental RC) then you can use nearby scissor lift to get to the top of ventilation duct and then to the terminal on the roof.

Research Point

If your RC Jumper e.g. can jump higher (required research: Remote Ctrl: Enhanced Spring) then you can climb to the roof of a smaller building to the right, then use RC Jumper and jump onto the ventilation duct from the small wooden platform.

Research Point

Get to the terminal and unlock it.

Research Point

Now you can go back to the front of the building and hack the antenna.
