Hacking in ELEX

When you approach an electronic lock (like safes or converter doors), you’ll enter a mini-game puzzle. Here's how it works in 2026:

• You’ll see 4 slots with comparison symbols (e.g., # < # > # < #).

• Your goal: pick digits that satisfy the inequalities.

• Feedback per guess:

  • Green = correct digit in the correct slot.

  • Yellow = correct digit, wrong slot.

  • Red = not in the code.

• Default attempts: 4 per lock (save before trying!).

💡 Pro tip: Codes do not change across playthroughs, so once you know them, you can skip the puzzle entirely.

Pro tip: Many early safes don’t require Hack — only the harder quests do. Prioritize survival and combat skills first.

Lock-Picking Basics

Classic mechanical locks work differently:

1. Move your lock pick right, pausing at each bolt.

2. A blue bolt means correct placement.

3. Continue left/right to find the next correct bolt.

4. Wrong move resets progress; remember your correct sequence.

💡 Tip: Upgrade Lock Picking and Locksmith skills to open tougher locks and reduce pick breakage.

2026 Strategy Tips

• Save before hacking — especially for high-value safes.

• Check surroundings — many codes are hidden on walls, notes, or terminals.

• Don’t over-invest in Hack early — most early safes are optional.

• Hacking isn’t mandatory for story progression — only certain quest safes need it.
