Exhibition area

After gaining access to the main hall through the QR-secured door, you need to make your way into the objective area called Room E1. Here is how to play out the rest of the phase in complete stealth.

• You must cross over from the Exhibition hall and enter the next secure room to scan the computer and search for the phone on the office desk.
• You can find a hidden safe inside this room and crack it open for some extra loot. The safe also contains a USB drive that will be useful later in the mission.
• Enter inside the break room in the E6 hallway and hack any phones inside.
• You will need to navigate to the circle markers on the map to start disabling the floor security.

Room E4, E6, and E7

You need to take a few steps before getting into the main objective area.

• Get inside room E4, which has laser security, and turn off the circuit breaker present inside the room to your left.
• You will find similar traps inside room E7 and a dedicated breaker to turn off the lasers.
• Room E6 is a bit more complex and could take a bit longer to observe the pattern of the lasers and reach the breaker.
• Getting through these hoops will help you unlock the display cases on the upper floor.

If you wish, you can now cut out the glass and take down the showcased art pieces from room E6. Deposit it in the van outside the art gallery from the rear exit.
