Dead Signal: 100% Achievements guide + Spots items

Presumably his wife Alice left because of her illegal husband’s job

This is my optimal set of settings for comfortable search and quality

I can also advise to set everything to epic for better quality, except for the shadows, leave them at a low level, the shadows are atmospheric, but the visibility in some locations is almost zero and is not advised to increase the lighting. It turns out that the dead signal is not very well optimized and heats my RTX 2080Ti very hard, on my setup I play at 144 fps, but 80-84℃ so I advise you to monitor the temperature of the video card by using MSI Afterburner

There are 4 enemies in the game, two of whom are almost identical in behavior. A certain period of time passes between the reappearances of each of them except Noir! The speed of noirs reappearance is chaotic (a male noir can appear even at the moment when you have just examined the room and sat down at the PC, after 15-20 seconds he will kill you), which makes the Male Noir most dangerous enemy in the game. There is also a sniper with a spawn rate of about 1 time per hour in normal mode, sometimes this happens 2 times per hour, but never in a row (this can happen in the beginning and in the end of the hour) and Mr.Shіt-eater Delfalco who comes when and where he wants, but always get busted, for example by sound, and his cooldown is also about an hour

Noirs are extremely mysterious shadow web-based cult, they’re represented by two of their followers, a male/female couple and they are sent after Ronald by Adam who gets fed up with The Shade and his business. The two Noir followers are a Caucasian man and woman, the female has been revealed to be named “Myra” and the male has been revealed to be named “Patrick” by Adam, both are dressed in the same attire of a black t-shirt, black pants, white sneakers, and a plastic white mask.

He will spawn in the following locations:

• In front of the TV
• In front of the PC
• In the bedroom in front of the bed
• In the Middle of your living room
• In the bathroom in front of the door
• In the hallway in front of the elevator
• In the middle of the roof (He can spawn even after you pick up a package or fix the antenna!)

Male Noir kills instantly if you try to run away or run up to him by pressing “SHIFT”.

• Approach him without use «SHIFT» and stand in front of him (no closer than 2 meters and no further than half the length of the roof)
• Shine a flashlight in his face
• Turn away and count to 10 ( Mississippi rhyme helps best )

After that noir will leave

Originally posted by Dektor:

• In this case, it is allowed to turn off the flashlight and move the mouse after turning away during counting
• The randomness of his spawn makes the male noir the most dangerous opponent in the game.

She will spawn in the following locations:

• Near the wall in the hallway to the left of your door
• On the roof in the center in front of the elevator
• On every floor including yours

• To avoid female noir, you need to approach her without pressing “SHIFT” until she starts nodding her head to the side
• After that, you turn around and wait for the phrase “don’t move” or just 2 seconds
• Count to ten.
  After that noir will leave

• At the same time, it is allowed to turn off\on the flashlight before and after meeting her
• But movement and twitching mouse is prohibited
• Female Noir instantly kills after using “SHIFT”

Lucas Kumiega – sniper aka hired assassin, a bald and heavily tattooed Caucasian man, who is impeccably attired in a black suit, complemented by matching gloves. He wields an M1911 equipped with a suppressor and communicates in his native Polish language.

He will spawn in the following locations:

• On the roof
• In your living room
• Laser in the window

Lucas is a fairly simple enemy, he appears approximately every hour, sometimes he can come twice, but not in a row! It will happen something like the beginning of the hour and the end of the hour, so after his appearance you can safely rest for at least another half an hour. Laser can be checked easier and faster for this
Press “X” and turn the camera to the right all the way with the mouse and you will see the laser if there is one, then you can immediately return to the PC by pressing “F” on the monitor.

If you see a laser in the window

Necessarily:

• Run to the bathroom or bedroom and hide in one of the shelters

Preferably

• Turn off the lamp near you before getting up from your PC
• Turn off the lights in the living room and bedroom
• Stand in the doorway for 2 seconds and look for a laser in a living room

  If there is a laser in the window, but not in the apartment yet

• Run to the bathroom and the room while holding down “SHIFT”; when you get into the bathroom, try turning off the light (if it didn’t work out just skip it) And hide in the bathtub

  If the laser is already in the apartment and does not disappear

• Hide under the bed and wait 30-45 seconds depending on number of the lights turned off

If you try to climb up to the roof from the apartment while searching for Lucas at your house, you will meet him on the roof and die

You caught a laser on the roof

Necessarily:

• Go and hide in one of the two shelters on the roof

Or

• Get into the elevator and go home

❗Choose depending on what is closest❗

Mr.Delfalco ~30-35 years old, Italian-speaking shіt-eater man in a hat.
Appearance: Black hat, black coat, black pants, black boots and a black cоck that he will impale you on. He is a cleaner, so he cleans crime scenes from corpses, body parts, blood, your shіt…
There is nothing to do with the gameplay and the places and times Mr.Delfalco appears on cameras .

He will spawn in the following locations:

• Comes to your roof in the elevator
• On cameras
• On every floor except yours
• Сomes to your apartment

Originally posted by Dektor:

❗Mr.Delfalco does not appear in casual mode❗

1. Mr.Delfalco appears on cameras randomly from 23:00. until the end of your shift.
2. Activation trigger: Look at Delfalco in the camera for more than 0.4 seconds.
   (On cameras that are broken there may also be Mr.Delfalco and the trigger will work)

Indicator that he spotted you it’s a letter he sents after 5-10 seconds from TheShade

Originally posted by Dektor:

Despite the not entirely simple conditions, you can complete the game without Mr. shіt-eater – it’s just a matter of concentration, but there is no need for this, at least in normal mode, since Mr.Delfalco is one of the easiest opponents

I will post the walkthrough without Mr.Delfalco in “advanced secrets and tips”

Attacks: like everything else, he kills instantly, but you can’t even look at it. Unlike noirs, so when he approaches, you need to hide quickly, preferably turning off the lights along the way.

The tactics are simple
When Delfalco spots you on cameras, he may literally come for the first delivery of crack (although this is rather an exception)

If you are at home (listen to the sound of the whistle) – if you hear it, get up, run and hide under the bed.

In this case, pressing the “X” button once will allow you to turn right and turn off the desk lamp, and then pressing “X” again to move past the wall to the bedroom and turn off the light in the living room and then on the opposite side, turn off the lights in the bedroom and crawl under the bed.

If you are on the roof (hearing the sound of the elevator arriving) – despite the sound of opening doors, they actually are closing, elevator go down to the 10th floor, where Mr. Delfalco goes in and take the elevator to the roof, as the doors begin to close and a “beep” will be sounded, then you have about 10 seconds to hide in one of two shelters on the roof.

You are in the hallway (look at the far door)

1. When you arrive on the floor where Mr.Delfalco appears at the door, the countdown of his appearance begins when the elevators doors open, even if you don’t move.
2. Zone – starts from the space after the rugs of apartments A or B on the floor where Mr.Delfalco was spawn, an automatic creaking sound starts when you step on floor this zone
3. Delivery of a package – if the first timer does not have time to work, Delfalco will leave room C himself when you put package to floor

Delivery to rooms A or B

• When you arrive on the floor, turn on the lights if they are off.
• Without using “SHIFT” – go to room A or B.
• Place the package under the door
• Quickly turn the camera 180° and while holding down “SHIFT” run to the elevator (game will press the button for the 9th floor automatically)

Originally posted by Dektor:

❗Although you have a package in room C doesn’t mean Mr.Delfalco won’t come❗

Delivery to room C

• Skipping the package (don’t do it this more than 2 times).
• Go without using “shift” to the rugs of room A or B wait and watch for 5-10 seconds the door of room C, if he didn’t come out, then Delfalco would not appear on this floor

If door is starting to open:
• Turn around 180° and run to the elevator (you will drop crack as well as your shіt when you run in the middle of the corridor), if you still have time, you can return to this floor and complete the delivery crack. This аsshole doesn’t stay there.

Mr.Delfalco’s Phrases:

• “Eccoti qui!” – “Here you are!” (After Delfalco spots the player in the hall.)
• “Dove sei?” – “Where are you?” (As Delfalco searches for the player.)
• “Tanto ti trovo.” – “I’ll find you anyway.” (As Delfalco searches for the player.)
• “So che sei qui.” – “I know you’re here.” (As Delfalco searches for the player.)
• “Non puoi nasconderti per sempre.” – “You can’t hide forever.” (As Delfalco searches for the player.)

1 min in real time equal 4 minute in game time
15 min in real time equal 1 hour in game time

The package must always be delivered, but it is possible to miss only 2 packages! missing the 3rd one means the end of the game

In 7 hours, 70 items will be appeared, 1 item in 6 in-game minutes and in the first 7 minutes at 10 pm, items will not spawn! ( it’s difficult to say whether there is a counter, sometimes more can appear in an hour, you can only rely on number of the things what you already reported) the places of their appearance are indicated in the screenshots below

Casual mode:

Normal mode:

light has three features:

• Lowers the spawn rate of sniper Lucas
• Increases the spawn rate of shinobi Noirs
• Has a cumulative effect that reduces the search time of Lucas and Mr.Delfalco up to 50%

|| Each lighting element is considered a unit and has a cumulative effect, there are 6 in total ||
kitchen, bedroom, living room, bathroom, lamp near the TV, lamp near the PC

Recommended: keep all the lights on to make the game easier or for faster passage (Noir will come more often) turn off the following:

• Kitchen ❌
• Bedroom 💡
• Living room 💡
• Bathroom ❌
• Lamp near the TV ❌
• Lamp near the PC💡

Unfortunately, we play for an asthmatic, therefore shortness of breath appears after the 5-meter marathon. When stamina fully used, it reloads till 75%.
This cooldown can be ignored if stamina bar doesn’t go below more than by 1%. I recommend lowering it no lower than 5-10%.

Flashlight will spawn:

• In the bedroom on the nightstand
• On the kitchen counter
• On the table near the PC
• On the round table next to the front door
• On the table near the TV
• In the bathroom on a shelf

• Turning off the lights reduces the wait time of Lucas and Delfalco hunt by about 5 seconds per 1 lamp
• The stamina scale should not drop to 0
• Before and after repairing the camera on your PC, it’s important to inspect the apartment
• After entering the password, do not run, but look around the room firstly
• If you come out from the cover earlier, the time of the hunt will become longer
• Starting from 12:00 after each report, look around the apartment
• Postpone package delivery for the last 30-40% of the time (bcs you can receive two quests intersect at the same time – parcel and antenna repair)
• Check the condition of the antenna while you are picking up your parcel.
• Remember your password before you leave your PC
• Password reset is signaled by an audible signal
• When going out to the corridor, always check the left and right sides
• Spend 15-20 seconds searching for reports
• From 22:00 to 23:00 no enemies appear
• Remember the categories of objects. First make sure you reported correctly (Until you scroll the camera, the item on it will not disappear)

• Items remain on the camera for 5 in-game minutes
• Sometimes there may be two items on one camera
• The object that appeared on the last selected camera will not disappear until the camera is scrolled (if the signal is lost, there is a high probability of finding a stuck object on this camera after the antenna is repaired)
• Mr. Delfalco appears after some time (because if you need urgently to gain time, you can deliberately go to another floor and trigger the appearance of Mr.Delfalco from the room C, thereby resetting his time between appearances. Worth to do it when Delfalco is going to appear)
• While waiting for Lucas or Delfalco, you can turn off the additional lights, which you cannot turn off later, specifically in the kitchen, near the TV, in the bathroom
• The password can be seen without logging into PC by placing it in the lower right corner of the screen
• Inspect objects on cameras one vector at a time (clockwise or counterclockwise)
• It is more effective to look around the room clockwise, starting with checking TV, walking around the sofa and looking into the bedroom

• The walkhough without Mr.Delfalco is to quickly press the D button and press twice A or in another order (if you know in what places the delphalco spawns, you can quickly notice him, but it remains on the camera for another 40-60 seconds)
