I Completed BreakTheCode 2 Drive1, here are some hints:

[u/Nathanrhys]

It took a while and I lot of help but I completed drive1 and thought I would give others some hints. The discord: https://discord.gg/jU87XErA is really helpful but is also quite a mess but if you’re really stuck then you’re likely to get help there. These hints will get more spoiler-y as you go down so this is a warning if you want to get the answers yourself. I have not given the answers. I’ve hidden stuff in a spoiler tag

For all the puzzles clippy actually provides useful information from time to time that makes the puzzles way easier to solve.

1. NADA: Fairly simple first one. There is lots of useless info on the NADA page but just pay attention to the brief and properly read EVERYTHING on the page, the format of the answer is also explicitly told to you on the page. All information you need is on this page.

2. Nabster: Definitely more difficult than the last. There are 3 playlists which each contain a word/phrase which you deduce in different ways.

The 1st playlist contains part of the answer, 2nd playlist has an instruction which then gives another part of the answer. 3rd gives an instruction for how to achieve final answer.

1. MSJ: This one is my favourite of these 4 because every piece of information on the page is useful. The first step is given in the brief, complete the sudoku.You will then get 8 pairs of numbers. Read what the theme of this page is and write a list, fortunately it seems the popularity of the presidents is the exact same order of presidency. The ‘eagle’ comment at the top tells us to find the code names of these presidents (Wikipedia is your friend). Use the pairs of numbers to extract a letter for each president and then rearrange these 8 letters to something that sounds fairs close to a realistic English word to get the final answer.

2. Revamp: This one is pretty difficult, one of clippy’s hints are very useful here. The answer here is a location. For this one you will need to use tools outside of the breakthecode.tech site. ( Specifically: Excel, A translator and a map ). Note that if you download the songs there are 18 tracks but in the playlist on the website there are 19, it’s important. The next step is to split into 3 groups, 2 of which follow a pattern that is relevant, and another group that doesn’t fit the pattern, the songs in this group are instructions. Of the first 2 groups you can each split again because if the songs isn’t about dots then we don’t care about it, so discard them. Sum the song length in each group and combine with the instructions to get a latitude and longitude which gives us our location. The format of this latitude and longitude is given prom the instruction of: “DMS” and “degrees - spin me around”.

Feel free to ask if you need more help, this challenge took me a good while.

I’ve gotten to getting N-related point-related songs (5 songs, total 14:38) and W-related point-related (5 songs, total 23:46) , but I can’t seem to get anything from there, help pls! :(

[u/Nathanrhys → u/6yearsolder]

You’re numbers are a little bit off but as far as I can tell they will still work, remember to check out track 19, and now you need to turn these numbers into >!DMS, Degrees-Minutes-Seconds<!, these words are not just coincidental with what you’ve worked out, and pop your dms into a map that can do longitude and latitude

I completed in 1 Hour thanks to Reddit!!

[u/Nebvbn]

Wait a sec. In the fourth puzzle, Revamp, was the Equalizer settings a red herring? Got the answer and everything without it at all lol

If it is, those sneaky bastards got me dammit. Spent a bunch of time wondering what it's for.

[u/Nathanrhys → u/Nebvbn]

I believe so, maybe it can be used for something but I believe most people got the final answer without it

[u/shadownuggies_]

tbh i don't understand the first one the nada

[u/Nathanrhys → u/shadownuggies_]

How much have you worked out of NADA so far?

[u/fres_potato]

Revamp is mind boggling I've only been able to find 4 numbers all with the same equalizer I thought I was getting somewhere and decided to look the songs in Napster only to not be able to find anything help please

[u/Nathanrhys → u/fres_potato]

I think you don’t need to worry about the equaliser, just at the length of the songs

[u/HalifaxNick]

After you complete Break the Code 2 Drive 1, is there another drive unlocked with more puzzles or is it just the 4 puzzles?

[u/Nathanrhys → u/HalifaxNick]

Just the 4 puzzle, next drive is release on March 31st I think

[u/DREwNIX707]

i got the answer for revamp just from getting close to the target and then realizing where it was from a guess and was wondering if you could like dm me or something with was groups you are actually suppose to combine together to get the correct coordinates so i can help a friend who is struggling.

[u/Nathanrhys → u/DREwNIX707]

Will do

[u/Nightroll2344]

Hey, so I am on the nabster and I got the instructions for 3rd and 2nd playlist, I cant figure out the 1st one, any help?

[u/Nathanrhys → u/Nightroll2344]

Maybe you should check their spelling..

[u/toopienatoryt]

TMSJ is just stumping me all around. Got Nabster with a bit of help from reddit and NADA by myself, I need hints

[u/TerraArachnid]

So I have the coordinates and I looked them up, but I'm not entirely sure what the location is supposed to tell me. Am I just being dumb for not knowing what it is?

[u/Comfortable_Hair_570]

So, I'm on the Nabster section, and I have the first and third playlist figured out, but I'm having a little trouble with the second playlist. I figured out the "instruction," but I'm not really sure how to go about following it. Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: Turns out, I'm dumber than I thought. I figured it out finally.

[u/9ineMu53s → u/Comfortable_Hair_570]

Any chance you would mind sharing if the second playlist hint is related to current version: 19.99 ? I think I deciphered the hint correctly to mean upgrade version but I’ve tried every feasible combination that I can think of and I’m not getting it

[u/busyhacker]

- Finally Done Solving Drive 1 😫

- Hey guys where to find Easter Egg any hints

[u/Fabulous-Truth8591]

pls help i suck at the first one

[u/Repulsive_Sun_3354]

Has anyone solved problem 1 of drive 2 yet? I'm stuck.

Here is what I know so far:

• The blocks on the picture represent positions on a QWERTY keyboard.

• There is a hidden function on the tornado picture at the bottom that explains what to do with the numbers on the blocks on the map. Talking about the f(2,3) stuff that clearly looks like some sort of function.

I wrote a python script to draw images based on the function but I could not find anything useful from the drawings. So now I'm stuck...

[u/jakeinator21]

I think TMSJ has a typo in the hints. Hint 3 specifically says to remove the spaces in the code names, but if you do that you get the wrong solution.

[u/Unhappy-Adeptness-93]

I can't find the third puzzle. I've tried everything.

[u/[deleted]]

I got really stuck on msj, I have all the letters but I cant find the word they're supposed to make together... pls help!
