Hey survivors! We all know how crucial decoding ciphers is in Identity V, right? But what if you're like me, often playing characters who aren't exactly decoding maestros, especially our beloved Forward? I've spent countless hours in the game, and through my experiences, I've learned that 'decoding cipher machine' isn't just about sitting there and tapping buttons. It's a whole strategy! First off, let's talk about our Forward. The OCR mentioned '前锋笨手笨脚' (Forward clumsy) and '破译密码机的速度并不快' (decoding speed not fast). It's true! His primary role isn't to decode. He's a kiting and rescuing machine. So, if you're playing Forward, don't feel pressured to be the main decoder. Your job is to draw the hunter's attention, make saves, and pressure them with your tackles. When I play Forward, I usually try to get a quick decode in at the start if no one is being chased, but the moment a teammate is spotted, I'm already looking for opportunities to intercept or prepare for a rescue. My rugby ball is for disrupting the hunter, not for decorating the cipher machine! However, there are times when even a Forward has to decode, especially if you're the last survivor or if everyone else is injured. In those clutch moments, '选对位置到底有多重要' (choosing the right position is so important), as the OCR also pointed out. I always look for a cipher machine that's away from the hunter's known patrol routes and close to pallets or windows for a quick escape. Don't be afraid to leave a cipher if you hear the hunter approaching; a partial decode is better than getting downed and losing all progress. For all survivors, not just Forward, here are my top tips for efficient 'decoding cipher machine' that I've picked up: Split Up, Don't Stack: This is basic but vital. Never have more than two survivors on one cipher, and ideally, only one. Spreading out means more ciphers get done faster, and if one person gets found, others can continue decoding safely. Perfect Calibrations Are Key: Practice those calibrations! Missing them wastes precious seconds and alerts the hunter. Getting 'perfect' ones really speeds things up. I remember one match where I kept missing calibrations, and it cost us the game – never again! Map Awareness is Your Best Friend: While decoding, keep an eye on the mini-map. See where your teammates are being chased. Is the hunter heading your way? Listen for heartbeats and character sounds. Being aware lets you anticipate attacks. Prioritize Damaged Ciphers: If a cipher is partially decoded, try to finish that one first. Every percentage counts, and sometimes those last few percent are the hardest to get done. Know When to Stop: If a teammate is being chased nearby, sometimes it's better to stop decoding and prepare for a rescue or to simply relocate to a safer cipher. Don't be a statue! Remember, decoding is a team effort. Even if your character isn't a decoding specialist like Forward, contributing to the cipher progress is what wins games. My personal experience has shown me that combining strategic decoding with effective kiting and rescuing is the ultimate path to victory in Identity V!
