How to do terminals in Fallout 76
Terminals? Just smash the keyboard until it works. JK, don’t. Really, just get the Hacker perk and use process of elimination. The game even gives you a few lifelines like removing wrong passwords or resetting your tries, hidden among the gibberish on the screen.

I once spent an entire evening hacking every terminal I could find in Fallout 76, just for fun. My advice? Start with any word, and then based on the likeness score, narrow down your options. Don't overlook the importance of the hacking perks. They make a huge difference, especially at higher levels. And remember, some terminals can control nearby doors or safes, giving you access to all sorts of hidden treasures. Happy hacking!
Hacking terminals in Fallout 76 is like playing a mini-game where you're the spy figuring out passwords. First up, you need the Hacker perk, which makes it easier to break in. Then, it’s all about guessing the correct password from a list of words on the screen. Your clue is how many letters in your guess match the actual password. Start with a word, see how many letters are correct, and use that info to make smarter guesses. If you mess up too much, the terminal locks for 10 seconds, but hey, patience is a hacker's best tool. Don't forget to look for the symbols that match up (<>, [], {}) cause they can remove duds or reset your tries!
