We’re back to protecting national interests with Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell: Blacklist. However, simply cracking necks and headshotting people can get tedious, so the developers have thoughtfully included a number of collectibles for you to seek out and obtain.
These consist of Blacklist Laptops, High Value Targets and Dead Drop Flash Drives.
This particular guide covers all the Blacklist Laptops in the game, of which there are a total of 23. Hackiing into all the Blacklist Laptops in the game will award you with the ‘Data Security’ Achievement/Trophy.
For more help on Splinter Cell Blacklist, read our Dead Drop Flash Drives and High Value Targets Locations guide.
Splinter Cell Blacklist Laptops Locations
Blacklist Laptops are a valuable source of Intel and shouldn’t be missed. Paladin’s Tier #1 Command & Control upgrade shows you the locations of dead drop flash drives but it doesn’t show the locations of the Blacklist Laptops.
To make them appear on your HUD, you need to purchase an additional $150,000 Tier #2 upgrade. After that retrieving these laptops is a straight forward task.
Grimm will get the ball rolling by notifying you when you are near your first Blacklist Laptop on the Safehouse mission. Don’t worry if the whole drill sounds a bit exhaustive because it rewards you with enough in-game to make up for that.
Each Blacklist Laptop you hack nets you $40,000. Trick is to approach the Laptop undetected. If you are engaged in combat while making your way to the laptop, it will self-destruct to preserve the information inside.
