I'm also having this issue on PS4. Some have said that not finishing "the gig" quest can also lead to the same problem, so I finished it. Didn't work. I also did the Nix mission at some point and have the ping quick hack with the exclamation mark on it. I can see it in two places, in the list with my other quick hacks and in V's backback. With the ps4 I'm also unable to drop it or destroy it. I hope this gets fixed with the next patch.
OK this is confusing as hell , I am in the same boat . I have the PING from the GIFT . I have not received Anything from hacking , so far people are saying that changing or selling all your quickhacks help but I have yet to confirm . I am on PS5 , is there anything new brought to light with this bug please ? any help is appreciated !
Sometimes after hack, there is glitching text (looks like on purpose) in the reward list under legendary hacking components. When this is displayed, you get quick hacks?
apparently all of us are getting glitched after getting the GIFT quest where it wont give you new quickhacks because of it
hello how would I be able to send a ps5 save data here ?

Is there a way to make CDred aware of this bug ? like where do we go to notify them that this bug exist ? it has affected a lot of people and I doubt they know with the pressure they are getting for the game now .

so Basically save the console save to a usb and send you a private message ?
I couldn't tell you sorry, I wasn't wasn't paying much attention to which quickhacks I had and the ones I had were so crap and I couldn't purchase any that I just went with a rifle. Quickhacks become massively overpowered in the endgame especially with legendary ping. I was probably somewhere around character level 20 and quickhack level 12, but thats more or less a guess.
man it's been a headache , I have not received a quick hack for a long time now . I think is because of the ping glitch , I am disheartened to restart after 60 hours
You could be getting quickhacks but they're the same as what you have or at a lower level, if you go to a retailer and buy/sell you could see a bunch of the same quickhacks listed in your inventory.
no I been testing today
I sold all my quick hacks and tried again getting access p. and I never get one this is crazy frustrating
I completed "The Gift". I had only done it recently while I was finishing up side missions. I already had a blue ping equipped so the green quest one never got equipped and wasn't in my inventory. I was also not getting ANY quickhacks from access points. I decided to delete all of my extra unused hacks and the blue ping. After exiting the inventory menu and then going back into it, then all of the sudden the green quest ping showed up as a new item, and this is way later. So, I re-loaded an old save... Level 29 instead of 34 so not too long ago but before I did "the gift". I still don't get squat from access points. Meanwhile I have a friend at level 30 who got his whole Deck legendary in one night. I don't get it. It CAN'T just be the ping hack from "The Gift". I have NEVER got any hack from a terminal by the way. Really sucks.
wait so you actually didn't get quickhacks regardless of the GIFT quest?
at this point I am quitting the idea of being a netrunner and switching to a blade build till we hopefully can get a patch fix , this game is so fun but man this hurts the time invested

did you try getting thE VIRTUOSO perk for getting the hacks ? without doing the gift quest to test , please?
I did al lot of testing during the last three days. I couldn't fix the issue, but I thought sharing my findings will help someone out further investigating the problem.
Since most people believed, that the Quest "The Gift" is the culprit - I laid my focus on reverting this quest and the "bugged" green Ping. But neither removing the "bugged" ping via Save-Editor or console or resetting the quest steps via console commands (including removing the journal entry of the finished quest and all related quest facts and finishing it again) does nothing to fix the issue. And on a side note: The "bugged" ping is always in your inventory - it just gets invisible when you have another ping quickhack in your inventory. When you sell all other ping quickhacks it gets shown again. But again, it does not seem to have any influence on the issue.
Since this was not successful, I tried to find out at which point during my playthrough the problem started. I have over 950 savegames in like 1-5 minute steps (yeah I know, but I play a lot of bethesda games - having a lot of savegames is like a good habit for me
).
I had a savegame before and after "The Gift" Quest - in both instances getting quickhacks worked fine.
The basic testing methodology was:
- load savegame
- give my char enough attributes points + perk points to max out the hacking tree and get all skills in breach protocol (including datamine virtuoso)
- teleport to a known good location with 6 level 10 access points
- hack everything and check inventory to verify If I got any new quickhacks (including checking at a vendor)
As you might guess, this was pretty time consuming.
What I found out:
After like 300 savegames it just stopped working. I have 2 savegames 1 minute apart from each other, where I just walked a few steps further and had a fixer phone call informing me about a new quest - and that's it, nothing else was changed in the savegame. After this point - it does not matter which savegame I load, it just stopped working.
After a lot of testing it seems that there are some random points in the game where after you learned the perk "datamine virtuoso" at a certain time it will either work or it will not. The dependencies are unclear for me - and without proper testing tools it will be impossible for me to find the real underlying problem.
I even found out that in some of my earlier saves it does matter to learn the skills in the "right order". There I learned "datamine virtuoso" before completing the first perk in the tree where you can disabe cams (only had one of two points in there). And it didn't work - after reloading and learning the skill in another order it started working. I retested this 5 times and the outcome was always the same. But again it can still be coincidence.
What it boils down to: I have no clue under which conditions it stops working and when. It can be basically everything. But "The Gift" Quest or the "bugged" ping didn't make a difference for me. The problem arises a lot later in my playthrough seemingly random. I will also not testing further - I will just give me the quickhacks I need via console command and that's it. A shame that PS and XBOX players don't have that option.

That lines up with some comments I read on youtube regarding players which claimed, that they resetted skillpoints and were able to loot quickhacks again from access points afterwards. Maybe there is just a certain order in which these skills have to be learned to make it work again.I did al lot of testing during the last three days. I couldn't fix the issue, but I thought sharing my findings will help someone out further investigating the problem.

My friend said he had completed "The Gift" and got the ping, but also told me that he upgraded it to blue quality. For me personally I have NEVER gotten anything but components. We both used the same exact guide from YouTube about all the terminals that drop legendary hacks... He got one on his first try, and by the end of the night he was able to get every single hack legendary. Me on the other hand got ZERO, not even epics. I had a 5 day old save from before I completed "The Gift" so I reloaded that and tried but still continued to get nothing. I really hope that resetting my perk points works but somehow I doubt I will be that lucky. If anyone has any luck on console please let us know!
Sadly this worked only on one of my older savegames (one of the early ones).
I also tried this on the most current savegame multiple times and it didn't work. I think there are multiple issues leading to the problem.
