How to unlock the Circuit Breaker achievement in Alpha Protocol - Definitive Guide
Very similar to the achievement Breaking and Entering, you must enter into a mini-game in order to bypass electronic devices. The electronic devices that can be bypassed are either alarms, or keypads. There are also well more than twenty electronic devices, so this should not be a problem at all.
For this mini-game, there are a few circuits, some containing a number. These lines are winding, and are meant to confuse you if you're not paying attention. You must go through each individual circuit, and cut them in the correct numerical order by pressing to complete the mini-game. Finish the mini-game twenty times for the achievement. If you're about to fail, you can usually abort the mini-game and try again without raising an alarm. It doesn't always work, but more often than not, it will.
Hack 20 electronic door locks or alarm panels. Again, this will be best to complete on your Easy playthrough as most panels will have only 5-7 circuits and a generous time limit, as opposed to the panels on Hard which have 12 circuits that you have to complete in 20 seconds. If for some reason you have trouble with this trophy, the Breaking and Entering & Spy's Luck skills in the Sabotage tree will help.
