Walkthrough Guide
Meet Dalton In His Office
After speaking to Masako at Ryujin Industries, you will head to Dalton's office to start the Sabotage quest. He will address to you that they need evidence of Ulraru's crime and you are in charge of getting it.
Listen into the conference and Masako will tell you to speak with Veena at the Neruoamp Division where you will receive your Neuroamp which will unlock Manipulate skill.
Receive Neuroamp From Veena
Veena is located at the Neuroamp Division which you can reach by taking the elevator since it is in the same building. She will tell you to lie on the operating table so you can get your Neuroamp fitted which won't take much time.
Once you wake up from the operation, you will head over to the Observation Deck to try your new skill on Demarcus (assistant).
How To Manipulate Demarcus
The Manipulation Skill is fairly easy to use. You will first press the [ F ] as if you are scanning the area and then once your cursor is on top of the NPC you are wanting to manipulate, you will press the [ E ] button to select Manipulation. Once the NPC is selected then you will click on the item that you want the NPC to interact with and you are done.
Receive ID Card: Sklyer Lumin & Maintenance Passcode
Before entering the Infinity LTD, you will receive the ID Card and Maintenance Passcode to deactivate the heating systems and open doors to locked areas that you will originally not be able to go into.
Receive Operative Outfit
You will also receive the Operative gear to make it easier for you to sneak around the Infinity LTD. The Operative Suit will help you become 25% harder to detect.
Prepare With Ammo And Aids
Before heading to the Infinity Corporate Headquarters, prepare yourself with lots of aids and ammo. You will be practicing your Stealth skills, but there are lots of combats awaiting for you inside so just to be sure you are ready.
Enter The Corporate Headquarters or Check In At Front Desk
There are 2 options to enter the Infinity LTD. You can simply enter the Headquarters or check in at the front desk.
Check In At Front Desk, Head To Marketing And Speak to Aelys
Aelys, the front desk receptionist at the Marketing Department will greet you once you get off the elevator. Sit on the couches and wait for him to leave to start your Stealth journey into the Infinity LTD.
How To Enter The Research And Development
Once Aelys leaves, take the elevator and head to the Roof. You can manipulate the guards to turn off the fan and use the Stealth to sneak your way through to the room. There will be several guards that will stand in your way so you can either defeat them or try to avoid combat by not being seen.
Obtain The Neuroamp Prototype
The Neuroamp will be in a test machine in the room which you can unlock by the switch on the right side. It is the big yellow box, right after you enter the room so don't miss it and try not wasting time.
Find The Cyber Runner's Cipher 05
Inside the Research and Development, you can also find the Cyber Runner's Cipher 05. When you grab the Neuroamp Prototype, don't miss getting this book as well.

Deliver The Evidence To David Barron At The SSNN Field Office
After you get the Slate, head to SSNN Field Office and give it to David Barron. He won't ask too many questions, and you can finish off the conversation anonymously.
A Bug Where David Is Not In SSNN
There has been some reports where David is not in the SSNN when you want to give him the slate. There was an update on 9/26, but it appears that for some players this has not been fixed yet.
There Are Currently 2 Ways To Fix
| Option | How To Fix |
| Pressing Command | Pressing the Command, [00014E4F.moveto player] There is a demerit that if you use this command, then you will not be able to get your achievements. |
| Save and Reload | Save before starting Sabotage and if David does not appear, then you can reload the data prior of starting. |
Console Commands and Cheats Guide
Even if you reload the data, you will have to redo this mission which might be a hassel so you can either ignore this mission until the Official fixes this bug or you can play this mission again until you can actually complete it.
Talk To Masako Back At Ryujin Tower
Masako will be waiting for you in her office back at Ryujin Tower in Neon. Report back that you have passed on the slate and she will reward you with aids and credits to thank you for completing the mission.
