The neon yellow text on the terminal screen sears your retinas, a collection of numbers, letters, and symbols blending together into a seemingly incoherent jumble. But there is a way to go crazy! Here’s how to hack the terminal in Fallout 76.
How to successfully hack a terminal

First, find a locked terminal and walk up to the monitor. You will receive prompts to interact with the computer, bringing you closer to the screen. If the terminal is locked, the hacking mini-game will start automatically. At first glance, it’s confusing. You will write down randomly selected words, numbers, letters, and symbols. However, only one of the listed words is the correct password to allow you entry.
There are four hacking mini-game difficulty levels Fallout 76: Novice, Advanced, Expert and Master. The higher the difficulty, the harder it is to find the correct password. You can make life easier by investing in the right perks: Hackers, Expert Hackers, and Master Hackers.
Its core is a hacker mini-game Fallout 76 It’s a guessing game. But there are some secrets hidden within the terminal that can make guessing the right password easier. These secrets take the form of symbols, specifically connected symbols, such as:
If you spot one of these symbols, hover your mouse over the connection. If this is a secret selection, it will highlight the entire section. By clicking on this linked symbol fragment, you will reset your attempt or remove the invalid password from the list. Do this enough and you’ll narrow your choices down to one or two potential passwords.
Let’s also talk about similarity scores. When you select an expected password from the terminal screen, it will give you a similarity score next to it if it is incorrect. It will give you a note like “3/4”. This means that the word you guessed shares three of the four letters with the correct password. For example, if you select “BEST” but the password is actually “BEAT”, it shares B, E, and T.
Using similarity scores is more challenging than tracking down every secret snippet to narrow down your choices!
