The hidden fourth ending that was previously unknown to the gaming community was teased on December 13, 2025, by Dispatch lead developer and company co-founder, Nick Herman, in a discussion with Eurogamer. The ending was technically found earlier in the game’s files by some fans, but it had yet to be achieved in-game during a playthrough. The hidden ending is called “Tactitian,” and the code suggested that it could be unlocked by completing all 26 hacks dealing with the “H4ck3d by R0b3rt” achievement. Many players tried this, but none reached the “Tactitian” ending, which is likely what prompted Herman’s comment.
Getting to Dispatch’s Hidden Ending Is Impossible
Players tried everything they could think of to unlock the fourth ending, from sending the right hero on each mission to outright ignoring all dispatch calls to achieve a 0% rating. None of these worked, and with some effort, the reason unlocking “Tactitian” seemed impossible was found: it’s bugged. That makes it impossible to reach under normal playing conditions, so unlocking the ending requires a hotfix, so players can’t easily find their way to it. Herman is quoted as saying that the fourth secret ending was deliberately made “really hard to get,” which is putting it lightly since it technically can’t be reached.
Herman did mention that getting to “Tactitian” required some aspect of “gameplay performance,” citing perfecting the “non-RNG” (non-random number generation) elements of the game. Whatever that is remains unknown, but he added, “It might just be a bug. It’s so hard to do, regardless that we were like, ‘Well, of course no one’s gotten it,’ but it’s probably a bug.” So there you have it, the final secret ending of Dispatch is bugged, and the devs know all about it. Regardless, this hasn’t made people want it any less. Dispatch isn’t devoid of bugs, this one notwithstanding, so future fixes could make “Tactitian” reachable.
