Total Hack is a magazine in Fallout 4 that gives the player character the ability to hack Protectrons, spotlights or turrets.

Characteristics[]

Total Hack is a paperback magazine with aged covers. The details on the covers are done entirely in ASCII art, a style of illustration that uses assorted symbols on a computer to create a picture.

Effects[]

Reading an issue of Total Hack adds a holotape to the player character's inventory in a similar manner to RobCo Fun. Each holotape can be loaded into a terminal controlling protectrons, spotlights, or turrets to access unique options for all connected (and active) units of that specific type.

Each of the magazines contains a holotape that must be inserted to have access to additional options. Unlike other holotapes, these do not need to be ejected to be retained. It will automatically be ejected and the effects will be retained upon leaving the terminal.
