How to unlock the The 40-Yard Digital Dash achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide

In order to reach the point where you can work towards this achievement, you will have become quite proficient in Breach Mode. So, this guide is not going to dwell on the basics of reading maps and clearing servers. There are many different viable approaches. I have outlined my strategies in guides for the Data Disciple, Expert, & Master achievements. Moreover, I have an in-depth video guide for the Data Detective achievement that illustrates the tactics and strategies that I used throughout Breach including https://www.trueachievements.com/Deus-Ex-Mankind-Divided/dlc...

There are more than three Data Transport servers. They are clearly identified as Data Transport servers and their 'name plates' are of a different color. Use cn_RT to roam the maps and check the servers by pressing cn_A.

You can jump with the sphere but you cannot climb with it. You can open doors by holding the data sphere in front of you. Sometimes, you must throw the sphere. The key to success is knowing where to throw the data sphere once you acquire it. You cannot climb with it so, when climbing is required, you must first throw the data sphere and then run after it.

You can use cloak when carrying the data sphere. Nevertheless, the data sphere will not allow you to be completely undetectable as you are without it. The data sphere will trigger alarms as when it passes through a laser. So, if you have to go through a laser grid, you might have to throw the data sphere between the lasers.

Energy consumption is higher when using augments while carrying the data sphere. So, augments like cloak, focus, special vision, have to be used more sparingly than normal. Since it is unlikely that you will be shooting your way through the server, you can offset the increased energy drain by equipping yourself with an empty weapon configured with the ability to reduce energy consumption while the clip is empty. This ability is a class B ability and is not uncommon as a reward in various packs.

Time is of the essence. If you leave the data sphere too long, it will warp back to its starting position. Despite this apparent complexity, the data transport servers (in my opinion) tend to be simpler than other servers. Scout a path to the data sphere that is clearly depicted on your map and plan for the return trip throwing the sphere where necessary. Avoid or evade enemies while ignoring everything else.

Some servers offer multiple breach points. If so, you can toggle between the alternative breach points by pressing left and right on the D pad. In a high rise server, a breach point lower than the data sphere is more advantageous than one that is above it. So, in such a case, if you have alternative breach points, use the one that will make data transport easier for you.

You are correct good sir! I've completed at least an additional 3 in ghost servers but still no pop yet.

You can totally jump with the sphere; you just can't climb with it. So if your jump results in a climbing motion the sphere is dropped. I found high jump and triple jump quite useful on some of these servers.

Thanx for your observation - you are absolutely corrrect. I have udated the solution appropriately and now refer to climbing rather than jumping.

Replaying servers does not count, just for the record.

Thanks for the info. I take it you qualified to unlock the achievement but completing a data transfer node in the Ghost network did not cause the achievement to unlock.

Even if you clear two servers with the same name on different networks? I did S11_EMBARGO on the Ghost Network. When I went to Tier 4A, it showed a server by the same name, S11_EMBARGO, and it showed it as uncleared. When I cleared it on Tier 4A, it had slight differences. Since I'd already gotten the achievements for Ghost, Picus, and Tier 4 servers; I couldn't draw any conclusions about how it was credited.

Ghost servers do not count, unfortunately...

Disregard: Just managed to get this one. Falling from a great height makes it really hard to recover the sphere.

Hell yeah! This one always fall on me too. The trick is to do no jump once you have it but just drop down and from behind its better. That way the ball won't go into the void.

Any suggestions on completing the data transport mode in Network 2A S23_REBAR? I have to throw the sphere over a void but cannot ever make the aim... a video by the master would be helpful... *wink*

A new type of Server was added in the update, these are the Data Sphere Transports. The aim of these servers is to find the data sphere and bring it back to the exit. Once you are holding the sphere you cannot fire a weapon unless you put it down, if you do it must be picked back up within a few seconds or it will return to it's original position.

There are 4 of these types of servers in total and you only need to complete 3 of them, they are located in the following network tiers:

1A – Server 09
1B – Server 13
2A – Server 23
4A – 04

I would stay clear of 4A – 04 as it is quite difficult and not necessary as there are 3 considerably easier servers to complete.

There are four Transport Data servers that were added into Breach Mode with this update. They can easily be identified both by name and their light-blue server icon. There is one Transport Data server in Network 1A, another in Network 1B, one in Network 2A, and another in Network 4A.

The objective in these Data Transport servers is to find the data sphere, which is usually tucked away at the "end" of the map, and extract it back to the escape point. You will not be able to jump while holding the data sphere, and if it's dropped or thrown, you only have a few seconds to pick it back up before it disappears and respawns at its starting location. Additionally, cloaking while holding the sphere will not help as enemy AI will still be able to see the data sphere.

When working on these servers you should plan your escape route in advance. Reinforcements will populate the map after the data sphere is retrieved, so plan accordingly with how they should be dealt with. Remember, if you drop the data sphere to kill AI defense units, do so quickly before the sphere resets itself.

The achievement will unlock after successfully completing any three Transport Data servers.

Data Sphere delivery jobs are located in Network_1B , Network_2A , Network_3A and Network_4A . One for each Network. The most difficult of the servers is the fourth. The first three are relatively simple, they are enough for the Trophy.
