Keypad Hacker (Tier 5)

Clever device for hacking high-security keypads. Should be able to hack Clearance Level 5 keypads and below.
Overview

This item functions as the player’s tool for interacting with locked interfaces that are protected by numeric or electronic keypads. Its defining capability is the ability to work on keypads that demand Clearance Level 5 or below; anything above that threshold is outside its stated capability. The wording in official localizations places the item firmly in the category of specialized hacking hardware rather than a general-purpose lockpick or universal bypass module.
- Use this device when you encounter keypad-locked access that specifies Clearance Level 5 or lower; carrying a Tier 5 Keypad Hacker prepares you to access areas gated by those higher-end locks.
- The item’s design intent is to target high-security keypad systems; treat it as the appropriate tool for the upper segment of keypad security rather than low-tier locks only.
- Because all localizations consistently state the same clearance ceiling, rely on the Clearance Level 5 limit as the canonical constraint for which locks this device is meant to handle.
- Keep in mind that the description frames the device as a dedicated hacking gadget: it should be selected when a gameplay situation explicitly involves electronic keypads with clearance requirements rather than non-electronic or non-keypad locks.
No sources provide specific mechanical details such as durability, charges, success rates, cooldowns, or crafting requirements; the only affirmed mechanical fact is the device’s effective clearance level ceiling. Use the Keypad Hacker (Tier 5) whenever the game indicates a keypad requires Clearance Level 5 authorisation or below to bypass those access controls.
