    If you have level 3 hacking skills, the Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 has 8 hackable terminals.

    - 2 doors facing south at ground level (Main Entrance, Turbine hall)
    - 1 door facing north at ground level (Fuel Storage)
    - 1 door on the roof if you take the stairs outside left of the Main Entrance (Roof Access)

    Each door has a terminal inside and outside that can both be hacked. Enemies in the area are below level 10 so the only limitation is having hacking level 3

    Bolter EliteYep the legendary perk works, but again its a waste to upgrade that and level 0 locks are so easy regardless

    MeatPuppet7861It should be noted that if you have more than one character and you haven’t done 50… they will stack in your “challenges”… I’ve had 3 characters over the years and it shows 110 by the time it popped for my recent character…:/

    Everytime I entered Morgantown Airport (cause Server switching or restarting), the terminals were hacked.

    I searched alternatives and found "Arktos Pharma" ( You will find this location between Slocum's Joe (West) , Greg'S Mine Supply (East), Helvetia (South). This building is showed on the world map.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Arktos Pharma has 4 level 1 terminals to hack.
    this is a rough orientation guide.

    First terminal in the Entrance Lobby. (Low levelled Scorchers and Robots everywhere.
    Run to the garage, climb up the broken floors to the attic.
    second terminal next to a power armor.
    climb down.. behind the vehicels. a tiny worksjop.
    break the lock and you are in the laboratory..
    Room to the left
    third terminal
    Go out of the Room and go left. rearmost left edge
    fourth terminal

    This Run took me about 5-8 minutes (incl, loading screen) Much quicker than the Morgantown Airport run.

    And restarting. the process might help.

    StellarClubArktos Pharma is by far the fastest method. You can snag 3 really quickly. Main lobby, Garage top floor and then Garage bottom floor. Rinse and Repeat. Thanks for posting

    Biztip2008Great guide!
    Two noteworthy pieces of info...
    Though the xbox achievement tracker doesn't work with this game, you can still track you progress by pinning the 'Hack Terminals' challenge located under the World category.
    Also, if you have legendary perk card 'Master Infiltrator' you still get credit for terminals that you auto-hack.
    Good luck!

    Morgantown Airport has 2 terminal that can be hacked. Enter the airport and on the first floor there is a vendor bot. Behind it is a room that can be entered 2 ways. Lockpicked directly behind vendor or go around to the other door and hack the terminal to open it (Requires 1 Hacker skill) . On the second floor is the command room (Responder HQ terminal in this room). There is a storage closet with a terminal that can be hacked. The airport is filled with low level scorched. After fast travel to Morgantown Station, cost 0 caps, leave game and reload and head back into airport.

    Hexa FoxThis guide no longer works. For some reason, with the new patch they completely redesigned Morgantown Airport. There is only one terminal to hack that I can find and it is in the basement. It is not easy to describe either.

    Bolter EliteHexa Fox is wrong, this is a public area, so all terminals are ffa for everyone, if its unlocked that means someone was there before you, already found both inside
