Solver for the Breach Protocol mini-game within Cyberpunk 2077. Earn more eddies and quickhack components at access points by always uploading all 3 datamine daemons (assuming your buffer is big enough). Have all the daemons unlocked (7+) via the Breach Protocol perk tree and legendary quickhacks? The Breach Protocol app will help you upload as many as possible to cripple the enemy network! The Breach Protocol App will find the shortest solution to upload all of your daemons, or tell if your buffer is not large enough to upload them all. If your buffer is too small you can deselect any of the daemons to exclude it and find a shorter solution with only the selected daemons. You can also exit and retry the breach or reload your game to get different sequences. Uses your device's camera and on-device text recognition to read the matrix and sequences from the screen of your PC or console while you are performing a Breach Protocol hack in Cyberpunk 2077 and provide the best possible solution for your buffer size and selection of sequences. Supports all 18 "interface" languages in Cyberpunk 2077 - English - Español - Español de Latinoamérica - Čeština - Français - Deutsch - Italiano - Magyar - Polski - Português Brasileiro - Русский - Türkçe - 한국어 - 日本語 - ภาษาไทย - 正體中文 - 简体中文 -اللغة العربية The app WILL NOT WORK unless you select the language that you are using for the "Interface" language in Cyberpunk 2077. For example, if the title of the sequences box in-game is in Chinese, you must select Chinese in the app or the text recognition will not work. Does not work well from a distance, if you are playing on console at couch distance you may need to get your camera closer to the TV for it to work properly. Does not require an internet connection to use. Join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/Ud4b9YWG Email us at j.cob.development@gmail.com
