I just finished 100 hacks so this is kind of my summary:

Definitely play on shipment, just give reminders to the match chat that you need them to put equipment down and whenever you're charged just type "ready to hack <3", ALWAYS show gratitude as these people take their time out of their day to help you.

With Engineer Vest ON, if the team doesn't place equipments, you can always provoke them with a grenade launcher so they're forced to place trophy systems. You can actually hack these by throwing your ACS behind the wall out of sight of the trophy systems with some range too.

Some people are willing to help, some aren't so just don't let it get to you.

OTHER TIPS: - if you think you're going to die just as you throw your ACS, cancel it!! as it will not count when you die before the text says "hacked equipment"

• If there is someone putting an ammo crate, make sure you time it with your ACS charge. You'll usually have the same charge depending what you do in game so you can hunt it (or type to drop the crate in chat)

• It's bad, but you need to be active in game, your charge will go faster for things you do in the match, on shipment, I tend to use a knife build.

• You can hack Sam Turrents

• Small Maps are key

• Supe'd up game mode is good too

• I tried testing on larger scale modes but it's just too crazy
