Pre-2.0 Access Point Scaling

With the advent of version 2. 0 of Cyberpunk 2077, every aspect of the hacking minigame was reconfigured to depend on the player's level.  Here are the important points to understand about this change:

• []If you left an Access Point and came back to it later, say when you had a better Cyberdeck that could handle the Daemon Sequences better, unfortunately the difficulty of the Daemon Sequences you have to input will have increased with your level.  Maybe those sequences were 2 to 3 numbers long originally, but now they're 3 to 4.  Prior to 2. 0, the lengths of Daemon Sequences at a given Access Point were, on the whole, reliable, no matter what level you were.

• []The rewards for beating hacking minigames also scale solely to the player's level.  What this ultimately means is that your optimal game plan in the post-2. 0 world is to ignore every Access Point you find until you're past level 50, at which point you will get the maximum rewards from every single one, no matter where in the world you found them.  Apart from being catastrophic from an immersion standpoint, this utterly kills the utility of hacking Access Points organically—i.e. taking care of them the moment you see them, so you can take immediate advantage of whatever rewards they offer.  You'd be a fool to waste those future resources.  If you like to play optimally, Access Points are completely verboten until the very late game.  Which is absolutely stupid, because it's not the in-world, logic-based rules you'd be cleverly taking advantage of, but rather the arbitrary, immersion-killing scaling system CDPR forced onto the game.
