So you'll need about 100 probe strength (maybe a bit less. Reported being scannable with 97) and T2 analyzers.
Yesterday i found a standard sleeper cache with about 90 probe strength. They dont require more strength then a usual weak signature. |

The usual weak signal can be probed down by an unbonused hull without implants, rigs or scan modules. I don't think you can do that with a standard sleeper cache. |

I did one yesterday in other way that i did it before. Warped to first area, did 2 containers and left the outermost. Hacked x,y,z device and jumped to tractor beam. Sentries start to shoot so i disable the closest one. Hacked tractor beam and started to hack cans (really good loot, fairy was generous). In half way i needed to warped off because of damage from sentries, bookmarked (buffer tank tengu). Jump in again and hacked defense unit in first area. Sentries became crosseyed. Looted rest of the cans, warped off and jump in again to check fail twice last can. Couldn't do it (fail on purpose) so i just hacked it, then hacked spawned defence unit and bonus container emerges. In about minute site despawned. Next time i will fail on purpose on spawned defence unit. It's really shame there are no two end rifts between areas. Slowboating is lame. Can anybody confirm that the outmost container despawn the site?

Failing on purpose is easy - you just have to cancel the hack either by going out of range or by closing the window. |

Loot container was unfailable after whole site done. There was a message that i have no skills or something. So i hacked it. After defence unit showed up i hack it at first time so rift had no chance to spawn.

You just have to have at least one more unhacked defence grid. In my case I don't bother hacking the tractor defence grid and just kill the sentry. Then I have an untouched defence grid near the tractor, and if I manage to hack the bonus one in time, I just fail the tractor one till the guards show up and get the rift.

I think it will take some time with my rlml setup on tengu, last time i was shooting sentries on SiSi whole clip went to strip their shield. How the defence grid units works anyway? There are 3 sentries at warp up: 2 at far distance, one near tractor beam. The tractor beam defence disables the one within tractor beam Starting area one does something with farest ones and the one within structure with cloaked cans?

According to this blog, the weakest cosmic signatures are scannable with about 95 strength and even a bit less. I guess this applies to the standard caches aswell.

Starting area one disables one sentry with the cans and enables one with the tractor. But since the one with the tractor goes online anyway if you jump to the tractor, you can say it just disables one sentry near the cans. Then again, I don't know what happens if you jump to the cans and what that grid does. |

This is interesting, because I often scan Core Runner Exile Distribution Bases (listed in wiki as 1.25%) in Solitude with an ishtar which should have 75ish probe strength at 0.25AU. |

I didn't check the math on that blog but a 1.25% sig can be scanned down with 73 strength, not easy but it's possible in 4-5 iterations (my skill/fit now is 76). The sleeper caches definitely have a lower sig value than the old minimum of 1.25%.
The theoretical minimum strength you need to scan down a 1.25% is 69 (iirc).

I can only go from doing about 10 of these sites and in my experience that every time I have used the tractor beam to pull cans I haven't been able to find any of the hidden ones in the back area. Hopefully a DEV can comment on this.

I can confirm that the cans the tractor beam pulls are the "hidden" cans from the far area. It's either one of the other, not both.
Personally, you need to go to the far area anyway to spawn the guardians for the hidden rift, so there's really no reason to hack the tractor beam as far as I can tell.

Nope you just fail the one container by the warp in. This activates the cloud (which opens the rift) so what I do is to ignore the low power/high power rift xyz thing hack the near containers leave the "faulty" one till last wait for the alarm to sound and then just burn to the tractor beam (thus avoiding the cloud), hack this drag the containers, unlock them and then fly to the hidden room rift and do that and then site is done. No hassles or worry doing it this way.

Inefficient in all honesty and you loose out on pristine loot from the container you deliberately fail.
The way I do it is simply to hack all the containers on the initial warp in. Once you complete the hack of the faulty container, it will spawn an alarm container which you can also hack. When you hack both of these successfully it'll spawn a pristine loot container that contains some very nice stuff.
Hack the X-Y-Z containers and put the coordinates in the high powered can and take the rift to the far area.
Hack the sentry tower + cans, once done this room is clear of loot. Shoot the tower to spawn the guardians and warp off while they AOE the area. Warp back in 1 minute later and enter the hidden tractor beam area rift.
Honestly, it's not that much different and both routes take about the same amount of time, but your version gives up one of the best loot cans for no real gain. |

You don;t lose the container you just fail the alarm container which doesn't give you anything anyway. Either way you have to slowboat to one of those locations so neither way is quicker overall as you said. Why bother with the XYZ when you don't have to.

Yes, it does.
Hacking the alarm container spawns a pristine loot can that contains superior loot on average to the other cans you hack there. I'll post a screen shot of the pristine can that spawns on the next standard site I find.
The point is that both versions take about the same amount of time and include some unavoidable slowboating, but you miss out on one of the best cans with your version.
*shrug* But hey, do it your way, just don't go spreading false information else other people will miss out on the extra loot if you wish to put in a bit more effort. |

Again, you don't have to slowboat all the way to the far area. You just have to jump to the middle area and kill the sentry instead of hacking it. Then you'll have a free defence grid to fail.
Also, the bonus container you get by hacking the trap in time is probably taken from the bonus room. At least I had 5 containers in the bonus room if I failed the trap and 4 if I disarmed it.
Then again, it's still better to disarm the trap, because you'll only have to hack 4 containers in 3 minutes instead of 5. |

I use the jump calibration tower to jump to the far area, I don't slowboat there.
It is possible the bonus pristine container from room 1 is taken from the hidden room, I'll have to deliberately fail the next alarm and check if there are 5 loot cans in the hidden room. But as you say, hacking 5 cans in 3/6 minutes is tougher than 4 in the same amount of time.
Regardless though, once the alarm is triggered the middle tractor beam area guardian spawns and AOE's, only blowing up and spawning the hidden rift when it tries to expand the cloud, so you need to evacuate regardless of which route you pick.
I suppose in the end, as long as you're clearing the site efficiently and hacking all the loot cans, it's down to personal preference.

1. Go inside. 2. Hack whatever you want. 3. Raise alarm to level 1. 4. Wait cloaked near a remote defence grid. 5. Some poor soul appears on short d.scan. 6. You fail a hack and raise the alarm to level 2. 7. While the poor soul in the first pocket is activating the gate, the guardians appear and start spreading deadly neurotoxin. 8. Poor soul lands in a cloud of deadly neurotoxin and dies. 9. Tears in local. Loot in a wreck. .... 10. PROFIT!!!!! |

I just did one of these and I'm super frustrated. I successfully hacked the initial ones (even got the pristine), got the coordinates and put them into the high power one. Went to the end, flew around and did the 5 containers that "activate" when you get near them, then flew near the tractor beam and hacked it. When I hacked it successfully, it said "the tractor beam has powered down permanently, any further hacking attempts are impossible." Last time I hacked the tractor beam it pulled a bunch of containers to it totaling like 100 mil ISK, but this time I got nothing? Anyway, then I went and purposefully failed the remote grid thing, went into the secret room, got all 4 cans, and the site gave me about 40 mil total with 6 Polarized BPCs. This seems REALLY low compared to the other values I've heard from these sites. Does it just vary this much or did I do something wrong? |

i did secret room for first time, there was timer restart device. How many times can we use it? Btw i had 4 containers there and 3 minutes timer.

Once only I'm afraid so do a couple restart the timer and try and do the last few, I can usually do all but one with my skills before they blow up.
