Infinite XP & money glitch

[darklingpersona]

I've been selling weapons for lots of credits early on. Especially shotguns (750 credits each), though you can do this with all weapons. There are a few spots where you'll get multiple shotguns. Instead of picking them all up (pick up a shotgun while one is already in your inventory and you just get ammo), I pick one up, go sell it, come back and get another to sell.

It takes a little time (few minutes really), but you can really rack up some easy credits this way. Doing this you eventually have more credits than you can spend. Even with buying Praxis Kits.

Do you get extra xp for hacking the red oblong thing!

May be a really dumb question but, never paid much attention to hacking, ive also wondered wat them other things do like spam etc. i know they slow down the attck, but never really needed to use em unless they were on the path anyways

There are 2 things to this:

1. Yes, you do get extra XP for hacking some of the extra nodes. Game explains that much to you.
2. IF you notice carefully, the glitch is that on reloading your XP adds up. So...
1 hack = 250
n Hacks = n*250

In the vid he hacks 3rd and 4th time, so 750 and 1000.

This glitch seems to work for me.
I'm in Adam office and do exactly what the video says and my XP ranks up after the game reloading.

this glitch doesn't work properly, i spent 45 minutes getting 5k, i exit out after doing this "glitch" 50 times, no trophy pops up, i then go to the augment screen, my xp still is the same where i left it, the only difference is that my total xp has gone up to 7k but i can't use them, i only got 1 praxis point, can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? i am going to start a new game now because my save file is messed up, i won't be able to get anymore xp if i continue the game like this, so be warned whoever thinks of trying this glitch.

You get one praxis point for every 5,000 exp points so you getting 7k only means one praxis point. And the trophy is based on hacking 50 computers, however using this glitch means you only ever successfully hack the computer once you press square at the end and receive your rewards for it. I used the glitch about halfway through the game and nothing screwed up for me, the rest of the game was fine.

i did this directly after the first mission (sarif manufacturing). all you need hacking lv3 and 5 nukes (i got a few from the PC's in the first mission). you dont really need 5 but it will go faster, i did the glitch for 30 minutes and got 4 praxis points.

Also, If you want to attempt this as early as you can (after the manufacturing plant level) you can use this glitch on the security hub in the manufacturing plant (after you pick up a praxis kit and the game teaches you advanced hacking) for 100 exp and a nuke virus, so you can stock up on nuke viruses for doing the trick in jensen's office.

that was the place i tried the glitch, also you get so little for doing way too much, you have to do this 660 times (if you use adams computer) to get every augmentation in the game 0_0 i don't have time for that i want to actually play the game

That's true, but it's really more like 650 times after you include the praxis kit you get in the manufacturing plant, and factoring in experience points you get during the first mission, so that makes it a completely reasonable approach.
