Call of Duty: Black Ops

You can hack anything including guns, mystery box and doors or like in the video when the giant digger is on in one of the later rounds. Go and get the hacker from where the video shows then run back over to the first building and hack the device to stop the digger and earn your 5g achievement.

GET A CRAWLER TO MAKE THIS EASIER

to get this achievement you need to get the hacker device which is in the lab on one of the three floors. you can hack anything inculding: random box,windows,doors,guns off the wall,the pack-a-punch (does not make it cheaper),players,perks and drops (like insta-kill) credits to roosterteeth for the video.

This achievement is done on the Zombie map Moon. If you don't have moon you have to buy the map pack Rezzurection. What you do is you go through all the doors that lead to the power room which cost 3750 points if you go through tunnel 11 or tunnel 6 correct me if I;m wrong. Next there will be a door next to the power room. Open that door and look on the tables there should be a hacker device on the table. You only HAVE to hack ONE thing. There are many things to hack here's a list
Hack gun off the wall cost: 3000 points
Hack a power up cost: 5000 points (it will give you a max ammo)
Hack excavator (digger thing) cost: Free
Hack pack a punch machine cost: Free
Hack a door cost: 200 points (takes 30 seconds best if you have a crawler)
Hack a switch for the Easter Egg cost: Free
Hack the mystery box cost: 1250 points
Hack a perk machine cost: You get a full refund on the perk you bought
If i missed anything else you can hack leave a comment telling what I missed but I'm pretty sure that's all

The existing guides are fantastic for telling you what to do so by all means use them. But what they don't tell you is what you can do with the hacker to help give you an advantage. The hacker is more powerful than what you think and it was only by accident that my group discovered how to use it to its full capability. Obviously this guide is to help with all of the achievements in this DLC, not just this one.

Basically one person will hold onto the hacker at all times. They can:
- Hack doors so they're cheaper to open.
- Allow a window to be repaired up to its last board and then use the hacker on it to get extra points.
- Hack the mystery box to change the weapon that was given from the spin. The change will still be random but it's like a free spin and it can be picked up by all team members.
- Hack team members to give them more money - and this one is important.

At the end of every round when you have a crawler, the hacking person should always give their money to their team. You will then all return to Area 51 and then go straight back to the moon. The hacking person will get back an amount of money and the team members will still have the same amount they had before making the trip.

Since one person will always have the hacker, you make your stand in the dome and make sure the excavator doesn't breach it. The hacker can be dropped but my group and I weren't sure if that changed the amount that was given when returning from Area 51 - sort of like a multiplier if it was always held.

Finding out what the hacker could do definitely made our lives easier because we could buy perks sooner and have extra spins of the box to get better weapons quicker.

Good luck!

I suggest having aleast one friend to get this achievment.All you need to do is hack a door (doesnt matter which one) and have a friend defend you.If you cant find a friend with this map i would be happy to do it with you.
