Installation & First Launch

Master the Dispatch installation and first launch. Learn hero dispatch, skill allocation, and navigate hacking sequences like the Cyberbully mission.

Welcome to the Dispatch (2025) walkthrough guide! Upon launching the game, you'll be introduced to a world where your choices, both in dialogue and hero dispatch, have lasting consequences. Every decision impacts relationships and job experience, and once made, cannot be undone without reloading a previous episode. This guide will help you navigate the initial stages and understand core gameplay mechanics.

During a dispatch shift, carefully read each emergency prompt to select the most suitable hero. Heroes possess unique skills and powers; for instance, a high-charisma hero is ideal for situations requiring negotiation, while an invisible hero excels in stealth. Successful dispatches lead to hero leveling, allowing you to allocate skill points. For detailed information on hero abilities, refer to the Heroes Roster page.

Occasionally, you'll need to complete hacking sequences. These involve using the keyboard to move a rolling die to open spots. When you hit a dead end, you'll encounter lock icons requiring quicktime prompts. An example of a hacking sequence is found in the "Cyberbully" mission:

• Cyberbully Hacking Sequence:
  1. Move down and to the left to complete the first sequence.
  2. Move over to the right and down to complete the second sequence.
  3. Lure the Antivirus towards you, then go around it to hit an electrical current to break it.
  4. Once destroyed, grab a second electrical current and note the first part of the passcode: Up, Up, Down.
  5. Place the electrical current in the double lightbulb space.
  6. Grab the electrical current above to complete the double lightbulb and note the second part of the passcode: Left, Right, Left.
  7. Bring one electrical current back to the top lightbulb, then input the full passcode: Up, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left.
  8. Complete the final sequence and reach the exit.
