Alpha Protocol: Purpose of the computer in the first server node room?

Question

I'm in Taipei right now, doing the "Access Network" goal in the "Trace Warehouse Data Trail" mission. I'm pretty sure I'm on Hard difficulty.

I'm in the first room where you encounter servers to bug - there's three of them, along with guards and cameras. If you walk into the northwest alcove of this room (where you find the dossier on Sis), there's a computer which I can hack if I want to, but which has no context message and appears to do nothing after being hacked.

What's it for?

Asked by Steve V.

Answer

Hacking that particular computer gives you 25 XP. I suspect that it might be context sensitive, depending on the order in which you tackle the different cities.

How to kill Brayko in Alpha Protocol

Question

I'm finding it very difficult to get through the Brayko boss fight in Alpha Protocol. Up to that point I'd only been dying once every few missions, but I've died about 5 or 6 times trying to get past Brayko. I've been playing on easy because a) I was trying to avoid this kind of aggravation and b) I'm not all that good at shooters so I was quite surprised to run in to this kind of brick wall.

I've hit him with grenades, incendiary bombs and hundreds of assault rifle rounds, but nothing seems to stop him.

What method should I use to kill him? Is there something that I'm missing?

Answer

This video walkthrough (warning, some NSFW dialogue!) recommends that you:

• Do not fight him during his coked up phase, as he regains all his armor
• Run away and get him tired as opposed to going gun-ho
• Conserve health pills carefully

Good luck!
