    You can get this achievement within the first hour of gameplay. When you unlock the tutorial, you run through the Hacking portion. If you want a quick (quicker than normal story progression) way of doing this, just keep replaying the Hacking portion.

    If you fully complete the tutorial, you have to mop up the remaining successions through normal play. DONT LEAVE THE TUTORIAL WITHOUT BEING SATISFIED WITH YOUR PROGRESS.

    My tracking bar went up 3% with each run, but it also gave me a fair amount of XP for my stealth skills, which is needed for another achievement (max one skill). Replaying the tutorial is incredibly boring (at least to me) but it’s a faster and sure fire way to get the achievement.

    If you downvote, let me know what I can do to make it better!

    EDIT: As I forgot to mention when I made the post, I had to play the hacking tutorial all the way through for my progress bar to increase.

    b3n irl@StaceWindu14 I've been stuck at 96% completion for 30 or so hours or gameplay. How did you get it working again?

    Edit: Finally got it. I must've done 300+ distract hacks across 100~ enemies on my main save and still no achievement. I gave up, started a new game, played until I was allowed to free roam and then found a group of enemies. Used the distract hack exactly 30 times and the achievement unlocked.

    If you are looking to get it over and done with easily, there is a location in Watson where you can hide behind a box and hack a TV to attract some thugs, which can be repeated constantly.

    Fast Travel to 'Pershing St' this is in Northside Watson. from there walk south underneath the building and in a side alleyway you will see three thugs watching TV which can hacked.

    Exotic colors99This spot worked perfect for me, I think after you use the quick hack if he sits back down again it's bugged and you have to reload your save, at least that is what happened to me, so pay attention and do the next quick hack as soon as he sort of jumps back.
    This is also the same spot referenced in this Solution for Daemon In The Shell in Cyberpunk 2077

    By far the best spot to achieve this is right here:
    External image
    In the southwest corner of The Glen, northeast of the fast travel point labelled "Metro: Glen South," and west, slightly south of "Velentino Alley." The area you want is beneath the intersecting overpass.

    There is a large, open alley here with a massive skull mural and a cluster of thugs, surrounded by at least SIX hackable devices if not more. If you stand on the shipping container looking right at the skull you can overlook the area and hack each device one by one in a loop, all will count toward the achievement.

    This will unlock the achievement very rapidly, don't bother grinding it in the tutorial.
