How to unlock the Data Emperor achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide
First, you need at least one energy expansion kit (ExpandEN_kit.sml). If you didn't luck out one so far, the Enhancer Booster Pack (15.000) has a lot of them. Seriously I bought two and got two. It is not like getting an S gun, totally doable. The more kits you have the better. Put them all in your inventory from Reserve > Items >Expansion kits
Then you need at least two praxis points but 6+ would be ideal to make the infinite energy actually useful. Unlock HP_BOOSTER.pkg (+50HP) in the HP_MODULE.aug menu. Finally hammer that A button and equip - unequip the HP_BOOSTER. Every time you do it your max energy gets a raise permanently (based on how many energy booster do you have in your loadout). There is no upper limit, you can have 1 million energy if you want, just load up a level from time to time and check how many you have. In my experience 50.000+ is more than enough to run up to four lvl1 aug for the whole level, any level.
The suggested loadout: Every Jump aug, Cloak, Titan, Smart Vision and Silent Running. Hacking lockdown doors and self destruct drones help tremendously on some levels. On the average collect data servers you load it, activate cloak, silent running and smart vision (if you don't know where to go), walk up to the towers, activate them and walk out of the exit. On eliminate levels you activate titan, walk up to the enemies and destroy them. You are unkillable or undetectable, yep. Some Tier 4 servers are cheating and you can get detected and take damage in titan form but you just have to be fast.
Extra tips:
- You can do the same with your hp, put HP expansion in your loadout and equip - unequip the Energy_BOOSTER (+50) aug.
- After certain actions your character turns off cloaking automatically. This includes taking any form of damage, Icarus land (this is the most annoying), punching through walls, takedown etc. Try to avoid these, especially landing because you may get in trouble.
- It is worth to invest EMP defense in Titan or you may get serious trouble in later levels when someone emp blast your butt in a middle of a battle.
- On some levels you can't use augs, though luck you need to do those legit.
- You have to redo the equip-unequip thingy every time you quit the game or play a no aug level.
- The elimination levels can be very annoying sometimes, I suggest saving up for ripper packs (you don't need money much anyway) and lucking out a better gun, at the last levels some enemies just won't go down with normal guns.
- If you have your jump maxed and the level has a high ceiling you can triple jump and icarus strike everyone.
To reach Tier 4, you must complete 18% of Tier 3 and have cleared a path to the exit node. Note that you can have completed the Data Master Achievement before reaching the 18%. Conversely, you can reach the 18% before clearing a path to the exit node to Tier 4.
Once in Tier 4 any server on the map counts towards this achievement. This includes regular server map servers, Santeau servers, Data Transport servers, etc. Unlike the Data Disciple, Expert, & Master achievements where you have to clear all server map servers in a Tier, for this achievement, you only have to clear five servers of any type. In other words, the achievement unlocks once you complete any five of the following Tier 4A servers--note that DF4_BYLINE is a Darknet file server and will only be available if the associated Darknet case has been unlocked.
S01_STOCKADE, S02_STOCKADE, S03_STOCKADE, S04_TALONPIKE, S05_LAVAWALL, S06_CORTEX, S07_CLAYMORE, S08_CAISSON, S09_GARRISON, S011_EMBARGO, DF4_BYLINE
Note: It helps to work on or complete the below achievement before the Tier 4 servers. The expansion items you get by doing so level your avatar up by an order of magnitude. WhiterValkyrie has a good guide that helped me:
Edited to add (29 Jan 2018) - Video Walkthrough: I didn't provide a video walkthrough when I first posted the guide because different players have their own preferred play styles. By the time they reach Tier 4, there is considerable variation in their approaches. To address this issue, I'm adding a walkthrough where the avatar is minimally configured and enemy levels are maxed out. The avatar is set at minimum health & energy. It is equipped with basic weapons and carries no curatives, modifiers, or expansion kits.
The intent is to clear five servers set to the highest hostility with a weak avatar. Players, at their discretion, can choose to play against lower level AI hostility, increase health and/or energy, and/or make use of better weapons, curatives, modifiers, and/or expansion kits. With much less of a handicap, they should be able to use the routes depicted in the videos to clear the servers relatively painlessly.
For anyone who wants to blow through Breach mode as fast as possible there are two glitches for "infinite" health or "infinite" energy. They cannot be used at the same time, I used the energy glitch for stealth levels and the health glitch for every other level. They are also not really infinite (hence the quotes) but you can boost your health or energy to the point where they are inconsequential.
Infinite Energy Glitch
Prereqs: 1 praxis point, 1 energy expansion item (can be easily obtained from the 15000 credit packs as of this writing)
Step 1: Equip the energy expansion (move from reserve to inventory)
Step 2: Unlock one of the 1 praxis health upgrades
Step 3: Toggle the health upgrade on/off as many times as you want
You will now have an extreme amount of energy when you enter a server. This only needs to be done once, not before every server.
Note: doing this will reset the infinite health glitch.
Infinite Health Glitch
Prereqs: 1 praxis point, 1 health expansion item (can be easily obtained from the 15000 credit packs as of this writing)
Step 1: Equip the health expansion (move from reserve to inventory)

Step 3: Toggle the energy upgrade on/off as many times as you want

Note: doing this will reset the infinite energy glitch.
You should now be able to blow through any server with little resistance whatsoever. Enjoy!
There are a total of 9 new servers in Tier 4. As previously mentioned they are considerably more difficult than any previous tier.
To make getting this trophy easier I recommend completing Servers 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 as 4 is by far the most difficult server in the game and can be very frustrating to complete.
Having a fully upgraded cloak energy efficiency and energy capacity, some remote hack and jump upgrades will be very useful for this tier.
Assuming you have cleared the Tier 3 Network and have unlocked the "Data Master" achievement from the base game, you should have access to the Tier 4 Network when entering Breach Mode.
In this Network there a total of nine server maps and they will all count towards this achievement. Naturally, the AI difficulty and overall map design on these servers are a little more difficult/complex than the previous Networks. You'll need to rely on a balanced mix of powerful equipment and augmentations to clear each server successfully.
The achievement will unlock after completing any five servers on Network 4A.
