The Hacker doesn\u2019t act alone; he works with other agents in order to pull off heists.<\/p>\n<p>Some agents will be tasked with infiltration or theft. Regardless of the agent\u2019s special skills, everything is related back to the Hacker through VR goggles.<\/p>\n<p>This gives the Hacker the ability to use his Deck to hack a building\u2019s security features to allow the agent to continue moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Hacking is no simple button input.

At the start of the game, you can choose from three different heads. While you may be just a head, you aren\u2019t powerless.<\/p>\n<p>The major gameplay component of Headlander involves you taking over the bodies of humanoid Citizen and Shepards, robot dogs, turrets, robot vacuum cleaners, or anything with a universal docking ring.<\/p>\n<p>Taking over different bodies is key to progressing as each body has its own colour clearance, and as a bonus your lasers become more powerful as you take over more powerful bodies.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pjZ3jCbX-cA?rel=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\"
