How to unlock the Stealthy Hacking achievement in Warframe - Definitive Guide

I ran this solo using Loki without any Sprint mods. If you want, you can use Sprint Boost aura mod (+10% speed increase) along with Rush (+30% increase) and/or Armored Agility for another (+15% increase).

I picked a Grineer tileset, because I find those puzzles the easiest and they have very quick points of entry to the data consoles.

The map I picked was Tikoloshe on Sedna.

Make sure to bring atleast 12 ciphers to hack the consoles. Don't bother doing it manually, that will just eat valuable time.

If you Google 'timer', you'll get a 5min timer you can use to gauge your progress. If you're running out of time, just abort the mission. Doing so, will give you back all the ciphers you used during that run. If you extract, then they're gone and you'll have to make more.

Be sure to change matchmaking to Solo, before starting the mission, so no randoms join.

Good luck!

Quitting out no longer gives you the ciphers back. Aside from that, exactly how I did it.

The star chart changed in the last update, so maps got switched around. Kappa on Sedna should work. It is similar to what Tikoloshe use to be. I would practice the puzzles first, so you know how to do each. ...or get a group of 3 other Loki, who knows what they're doing. Good luck!

**UPDATE 1/11/2017**
Thanks to Takaitaua:
"On regular spy mission triping alarms or alerting enimies outside of the hacking area won't affect the achievement. So it's just staying undetected in the hacking area and extracting within 5 mins. The easiest mission I found was the spy mission on earth, managed to solo run it with a Loki with speed, power duration and efficincy mods."


**UPDATE 5/1/16!**
There is a much easier method to get this done if the mission is available! Completing a Spy - Invasion mission will also get you this achievement! Even better, there MIGHT be only ONE objective, and apparently you don't have to worry about getting detected! I would like confirmation as to whether you can be detected in the actual hacking location, apparently you can be seen on the way to the objective. Credit goes to RED C0BRA 92.

Previous method below:
What you have to do: Pretty much what it says, except you can't set off ANY alarms outside of the objectives either!(thanks to Fooga for checking, assuming he WAS under 5 minutes dance) So you have to be completely stealthed from start to finish of the mission.

Where to get: This can be done on any level spy mission, but pick one you're comfortable with and used to doing the puzzles so you don't have to spend any time figuring things out. I personally did this in Martialis on Mars. I chose Corpus because of the Grineer doors that can drain all your energy if you accidentally run through them!

Which Warframe:
Loki/Loki Prime. There are a few other options, but Loki makes this flat out easy. Besides, if you're Loki, you don't have to worry about being seen if you use Invisibility and Decoy/Switch Teleport to get around laser walls quickly.

Other recommended Warframes: If you don't have Loki, then Ivara for stealth options is a possible substitute.
Any other warframes will just enormously increase the risk of detection.

Group or no group: This will also be FAR easier with a communicating team of 3 good Loki's!
If you are going to do this solo, get a timer and start a 5-minute countdown just so you know how much time you have left--it IS tricky to do solo unless you've had lots of practice.

What to bring: Enough ciphers so you don't have to worry about manually hacking any of the doors or objectives. That will save you a lot of time!
And some energy restores for replenishing Loki's energy/invisibility power.


I've included my loadouts for speed or invisibility on my Loki Prime below; I personally liked the ability to move very fast just to get to the objectives and extract faster.

My Loki Prime max speed build(Sprint speed 1.96):

My Loki Prime invisibility build(203% Power Duration):

By undetected does that imply running the entire mission without being detected or just once you enter the rooms to hack the consoles for the data caches

Unfortunately, I can't entirely answer your question :-( I tried to complete it by being detected outside of the rooms, but I think I took too long--then when I completed it under 5 minutes, I also never set an alarm off outside the rooms. I did run into several enemies which I promptly melee killed as they were in their 'being alerted' motions. Maybe someone can use a timer and confirm that you can't be detected outside of the rooms?

I believe they can see you, or at least be disturbed--as I did startle some before killing them. I have no way of confirming now though because I already got it. :-/

I'm really hoping that someone can be seen, set off an alarm outside of the objectives, kill the enemies, turn off the alarm, then go do the objectives in under 5 minutes to test for sure what exactly counts. Can you?

Yeah I could try, but I have a feeling one alarm busts it. Especially with Lotus saying "they've seen you".

Yeah pretty sure I did it under 5 and got an alarm outside the data rooms with no lockdown timer and it didn't pop. Seems any alarms screw you over.

Ooooh. That's a good idea--were alarms even trigger-able in the mission?

As for the invasion missions, when I got detected during the vault area I had to then kill all the enemies after but I didn't when it wasn't purging. Got it 2nd try with the first try as described!

Can Confirm! Tripping an alarm outside of the hacking zone does not affect the Achievement. We did this twice.We even sounded an alarm before & after hacking. As long as you don't trip alarms in the hacking zone your golden.

Still can't confirm if you need to be at extraction by 5mins or just have all 3 hacks done in 5 mins. My advice,just move your ass. I did this with 1 other Bro using Lokis & speed boosts.

WHAT NOT TO BRING: A Companion 🤣 Little Booger screwed me up 2x before he finally went back to the dog house before getting this 🤦🏻‍♂️
Tripping an alarm is still okay as long as all your extractions are undetected and clean 👌🏻

I don't have a Loki yet but did Cambria on Earth with a Ember 30 using Mobilize to boost jumping and Rush for a 1.43 Sprint Speed. I managed 4 min 46 sec in my second and winning run.

I am looking at a spy invasion mission right now on Europa and it has 3 objectives.Where are these ones with 1 objective?

Say AirNath, could you try one of those invasions and see if you can do it under 5 minutes AND get detected throughout? Because that's what those other fellows said should work with the Spy Invasion mission.

I can confirm, that Spy - Invasion mission still work and is doable in solo mode, when you have invasion spy mission with only 1 vault. I unlocked this achievement today "by accident" - I was just rushing them and wanted to earn my BP reward. I was using Ivara. Rushed pass enemies outside vault, put the prowl on before hacking the vault entrance door, nobody saw me inside, I tripped no alarms and when got out, rushed to extraction without worrying about getting detected.
