How to unlock the Hack the Gibson achievement in Blacklight: Tango Down - Definitive Guide

In Domination mode quick matches, simply hack all of the control points on each of the following 12 maps:

BRUTALISM
CURFEW
DERAILER
DROPZONE
FLOODGATE
PITFALL
POST ALLEY
WHARFARE
SHADOW MARKET
SKY FIRE
ZERO POINT
SLUMLORD (1 terminal only)

Hacking each control point will involve playing a short and simple mini game where 4 wedges light up in a certain order which you then must repeat with either D-pad or X, Y, A, B buttons.

Because this achievement can only be obtained through quick matches, it may take a while to play across all 12 maps. Hacking all control points on each map is significantly easier when the server has a small number of players.

I am currently working on this achievement and I assume it will come with time. Thanks to Sora401k for the heads up about Slumlord.

There seems to be a problem with the map rotation on this game I simply never get the map Skyfire on domination. I've played around 15 hours and the map hasn't come up a single time!

It might be worth noting that as far as I can tell Slumlord only has one Capture Point, while most have 3.

I have heard about that too but I've still not had a go on that map yet. I guess that may make that map easier (though it would mean all the action funnels into that one area). If someone else on your team hacks it and then your team dominates in defending it, you may well not get an opportunity to hack it yourself.

That happened to me at first, but I hung back for a bit, leaving my team a man down. When we lost it I ran in, threw a both my nades, and hacked it. If anyone has the same problem you may want to try that.

I have now gotten this achievement and can confirm that every map has 3 CPs, except for Slumlord, which has only a single point in the center of the map.

You just need to hack all the control points on each map, you don't need to win the match. Also, you don't need to hack all the terminals in each map in a single round, you can do it cumulatively over multiple rounds.

At the time of writing this solution, the "Domination" online game mode is pretty much completely dead. You get the occasional random joining every 5 minutes or so but it I can almost guarantee that you will never be able to get a game of "Domination" started by just waiting in the lobby for 5 other people, and you need to do this multiple times to be able to play 12+ games of Domination to hack all points.

So what do you do?

1- Play a couple games of TDM and then search for a game of Domination. Proceed to spam party and game invites to all of the people on your recent players list and hope you can amass a group of 5 other cooperative randoms (not an easy task)
2- Try and get people from TA to help you boost this. This is also a surprisingly difficult task since you need to convince 5 other people to go on a relatively old arcade game such as this and spend 3+ hours for a single achievement.

A combination of both is probably the way to go. Get a few people from TA who still play this game and play one or two games of TDM. Then try to get enough randoms to help you start games of Domination. If all goes well and nobody leaves or d/ces, **the game will go through all 12 maps in a row**(meaning you won't get the same map twice and the maps won't be randomly generated), making this achievement obtainable within 2 and a half hours. Not the easiest thing, but possible.

If you need help with this, I would be willing to do it. Send me a PM via here or XBL.

While playing Domination, every map has 3 control points that can either be hacked or captured by standing next to it, to get this achievement you need to hack every point on every map. You can hack a point by using the mouse(Left Click) where you must enter a random 4 button combination, similar to Simon Says. Just watch for the buttons to flash and press them in that order after you know the 4 step pattern. An easy way to keep track of this achievement is to write down the names of the maps you still still need to hack a point on and crossing them out once you have hacked all 3 points. The list of maps can be found below:

BRUTALISM
CURFEW
DERAILER
DROPZONE
FLOODGATE
PITFALL
POST ALLEY
WHARFARE
SHADOW MARKET
SKY FIRE
ZERO POINT
SLUMLORD* (Slumlord only has 1 control panel in the center)

This can only be done by while playing Domination games. Every map has 3 Control Points that can either be hacked or captured by standing next to it. To unlock this trophy, you need to hack every Control Point on every map. To begin hacking a Control Point you have to stand next to it and hold down the button. You can hack a point by using the ,,, buttons or by pressing ,,,. You must press a random four-button combination. Watch the buttons flash and press them in the same order after you know the four-step pattern. It's best to have a checklist and check off the maps that you successfully hacked on. You must have hacked all 3 Control Points for the map to count toward the trophy unlocking. Also note this trophy has become impossible to get without boosting since nobody plays Domination anymore, choosing to play Team Deathmatch instead. It can be easily boosted in the Boosting thread Here.

Also: note that this game has host migrations similar to the CoD series. If these host migrations fails on a map that you hacked. I'm uncertain if it'll count towards the trophy unlocking. I just hacked them over again to be safe.

Maps:
* Brutalism
* Crossover
* Curfew
* Derailer
* Dropzone
* Floodgate
* Pitfall
* Post Alley
* Skyfire
* Shadow Market
* Slumlord (Only has one Control Point in the center of map. Rush to it quickly and hack it fast.)
* Wharfare
* Zero Point
