Uplink Hints

I've completed the plot missions and there's just 5 missions done!

  • 1 of 6: Both ARC and Arunmor have five missions. You can get up to 8 missions from the plot if you side with ARC. Unfortunately, this effectively hampers you from finishing Grandtour the 'honest' way.
  • 2 of 6: Then there are two _Very_ special missions.
  • 3 of 6: I strongly recommend you find the two yourself.
  • 4 of 6: They are meant to be found while exploring.
  • 5 of 6: The InterNIC is an excellent place for exploring.
  • 6 of 6: See the (very) Special Missions page for more details (and spoilers).
