Gristle McThorn Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I have 100% positive reputation and revered status with Spacer's Choice after completing the first main quest. I still can't buy restricted items such as mag-picks from Spacer's Choice vending machines. Is this a bug or am I not understanding a game mechanic?

deadsanta Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 May be a bug or a feature, because skill hacking specifically has a 40% skill to buy restricted items from vendors. Nothing in game mentions whether local rep gives you vendor access benefits. I bought from vendors everywhere at around 4th level and awful spacer rep.

Gristle McThorn Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 The vending machine info sheet in the menus says that some items are restricted based on your reputation with that company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but the OP say's he has " 100% positive reputation and revered status with Spacer's Choice" and yet " still can't buy restricted items such as mag-picks from Spacer's Choice vending machines". So it's not that they don't understand the reputation-restricted nature of items; it's that they have the rep and still can't buy the items.

Yeah, I made the OP and I was replying to the person who said there was nothing in game that said there was nothing in-game mentioning the functionality I am confused about. Sorry for the confusion, I should have included the quote I was replying to. Thanks for the support though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawdius_Talonious Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The restricted items are restricted to characters that can hack the vending machine to give them access (by having the second tier/40 hacking ability.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbedofLife Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Some items in vending machines are not the same brand of that machine. BTW Spacers Choice is a subsidiary of UDL which is otherwise known as "The Board" raising reputation with the board should unlock those items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I misinterpreting the vending machine codex entry that states, "Restricted items on a vendor can only be purchased when you have high enough reputation with the associated faction, or a Hack skill of 40 or higher"?

Wormerine Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I am pretty sure that “crime” items (such as lockpicks and hacking things) require 40 hacking skill to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an either/or IIRC, for vending machines I believe it's always hacking, for vendors I think it's always rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
