Hacked a Vending Machine is an Achievement/Trophy in BioShock. The Achievement is worth 10 Gamerscore and the Trophy is bronze.
==Requirements==
The player has to hack a vending machine.
==Notes==
*There are two vending machines that when hacked will grant the player this Achievement/Trophy:
**Circus of Values
**El Ammo Bandito
***Any other hackable machine will not count.
*Hacking is first available in the Medical Pavilion, where the Circus of Values and El Ammo Bandito also appear.
**The player will have to successfully hack the Security Bot stuck in the door to the Emergency Access right at the start of the level in order to progress and make hacking available for other machines.
*The player can hack a hackable device by approaching it and choosing the "Hack" option, which will open a hack-menu, where the player has the option to play a hacking mini-game, use an Automatic Hack Tool, or "buyout".
**Simply starting the hacking mini-game will not count. It has to be a successful hack.
**Choosing the option to use a Automatic Hack Tool or the "buyout" option in the hack-menu will count as a successful hack and grant the player the Achievement/Trophy. The Automatic Hack Tool will immediately grant a successful hack and the "buyout" option does the same, only using the player's money.
*Hacking a vending machine in the Challenge Rooms will also grant the player this Achievement/Trophy.
*The player only has to hack the vending machine, buying anything is not required.
*Vending machines are very common and found in every level, except the final level.
==Strategy==
*Right next to the stuck Security Bot at the Emergency Access entrance is a Circus of Values vending machine. The hacking option becomes available as soon as the stuck Security Bot is hacked. This Circus of Values is the first usable vending machine encountered and is also one of the easiest hackable device in the game. The player will get a pop-up explaining hacking when initiating the hacking and there are no Alarm Tiles or Overload Tiles. The player will be notified when the hack is completed and the Security Bot will become an ally.
**This particular Circus of Values also has a very low "buyout" rate, only around 10$.
*For tips on hacking, see the main page.
