Beside hacking computers that counts for computers hacked collectible, there are also servers that you can hack into. Hacking servers also contributes towards the computers hacked number. Some of the rooms that have computers/servers inside them also have security clearance levels you need to obtain in order to enter them. You get this security clearance level while playing the main story missions. You are going to hack 4 computers, while playing missions, that count towards the computers hacked number.

Exit Animus OptionIn order to reach the Abstargo Entertainment building, while you are in role of the pirate, press start on your controller. This will pause your simulation and bring up a new menu. In this menu press “Quit” and “Exit Animus”.
Prime Number Data Stream and SphereHacking computers and servers requires solving sphere puzzles, data stream puzzles and prime number puzzles. With sphere puzzles you should guide your data avatar towards the green line. This can be hard as data avatar, presented as a dot, moves straight until it reaches the end of the line. You, basically, need to find a line whose one end closes a 90 degree angle with the green line. With data stream puzzles you should navigate another dot through security programs presented in a shape of lines that move up and down. With prime number puzzles you should find the correct combination of numbers, while navigating through given number combinations.

Rewards for solving these puzzles come as audio, video and written lore. Inside of this guide you can find all 29 computers that you can hack. Four, out of all 33 needed for the achievement, are acquired through missions.

Note: If you are missing one or more hacked computers for completion of entire collection, you should go to all floors and scout those areas. Opening map and switching between maps will not reveal computer’s or server’s map icons you had not hacked before.
