Get an Epic Decoder at the Suspicious Door in Lenny’s Motel by trading three Uncommon Decoders plus $10,000, or one full Epic Action Camera. A Decoder attacks a building’s Security System. It provides temporary access after the hack succeeds; it does not make you the owner or open the safe inside.
Get an Epic Decoder through barter
Find Lenny’s Motel on the global map and enter the location. Look for the Suspicious Door on the right, then inspect the barter offers behind it. Have the actual ingredients ready before selecting the exchange.
| Required items | Result |
|---|---|
| Three Uncommon Decoders and $10,000 cash | One Epic Decoder |
| One full Epic Action Camera | One Epic Decoder |
An empty camera is not the same ingredient as a full one. Read the item name and completion state before bringing it to the trader. Keep Uncommon Decoders if you intend to use the first exchange rather than selling them as ordinary valuables.
Compare Decoder breach values
An Uncommon Decoder removes one defence point. An Epic Decoder removes three. Both are disposable, occupy two by one inventory cells, and are consumed when used. Applying one takes 12 seconds.
Trading three Uncommon devices for one Epic device therefore consolidates the same total breach value into fewer applications. It does not turn three defence points into additional damage. The $10,000 is part of the exchange cost, so decide whether reducing your time at the panel justifies it.
Check the Security System before use
Approach the target structure’s Security System and use the Decoder there. Installed Electronic Fuses increase defence, so carrying one device does not guarantee entry. The structure must be fully hacked before access opens.
Keep your exit in mind before starting. The owner can repair the system and shut you out again, which makes the access window temporary. Treat a successful breach as entry to that structure rather than control of the whole property.
A safe or security cabinet is a separate obstacle requiring a Master Key. Do not spend your Decoders expecting them to open those containers. If the safe is your actual objective, prepare for both layers of access before consuming a breach item.
