Syndicate Items

Syndicate Items

These items can be bought through an uplink by Traitors and (barring a few) Nuclear Operatives.

How to Get These Items

Syndicate Uplink Found in: Syndicate operatives spawn with one Used for: Ordering syndicate items by a traitor or syndicate operative. Strategy: Keep it locked. In case someone searches you they might look at your pda to see if it's an uplink. Description This is where the traitor gets all his fancy items. It's disguised as a PDA, the pen inside, or a headset. You will need to enter the code given into the ringtone selection in the messenger menu in your PDA, turn the pen or select a headset frequency. From there, you can click on it and pick whatever item you want/need. However, you only have 20 telecrystals to use (In Nuke, the crystals are scaled to the population of the station. Every 10 people adds 10 crystals. Extra crystals for war ops), so choose wisely. The nuke round radio and the headset can also self destruct, which can be used to destroy things like computers or gib people if dropped on top of them.

Discounts

Up to three items are randomly discounted. These items can be found at the bottom of the page. The lower initial cost, the higher chance it will be discounted. You can not buy the item at discount price more than once! Hope for a 80% off Dark Mauler! (Yes, this is possible)

Conspicuous and Dangerous Weapons

Stechkin

Stechkin Pistol Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 7 telecrystals Used for: Quick and concealable murder. Strategy: Keep it hidden, it's possible to gain this gun by other means beyond being a traitor but the average Security Officer will assume it's Syndicate until proven otherwise. Description A small gun, fits into your pocket when not fitted with a suppressor. Has an 8-round magazine and is semi-automatic - meaning it'll eject bullet casings as it fires making evidence clean up harder. Does 30 brute damage on an unarmoured target but dumping the magazine will usually kill or crit all but the most well-prepared and/or armoured foes. Can be fitted with a suppressor, which makes it a very lethal and effective weapon of murder. However, this increases the size to normal and will no longer fit in your pocket. Uses 10mm ammunition.

Revolver

.357 Revolver Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 13 telecrystals Used for: Very quick and loud murder. Strategy: Keep the thing hidden, as people know it's only available to syndicates. Also, it makes a lot of noise, so be careful. Description It's a gun. Click on someone and you shoot at them. Does 60 brute damage per shot on an unarmoured target, considerably less on an armoured one. It's a very reliable weapon for a quick and bloody murder, as most people cannot react in time before being shot twice. Keep in mind that it makes a very loud and distinct noise. This gun comes loaded with 7 rounds, more can be bought from your uplink or created with a hacked autolathe. The damage is high enough to quickly blow up a supermatter crystal. Uses .357 ammunition.

Mini Energy Crossbow

Miniature Energy Crossbow Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 12 telecrystals Used for: Stunning people. Strategy: No one sees any messages of who fired at who, but the target knows when they are shot. Use this weapon very carefully and covertly, but remember it is also very good when in a pitch because every hit is a knockdown. Description This weapon is not meant for killing, rather it is intended for stunning; it is the syndicate equivalent of a taser that does minor toxins damage. Though this weapon does make a sound when fired, it is still very quiet, and can be easily concealed in your pocket. Additionally this weapon does not provide any message that it has been fired, use this to your advantage and to help conceal your identity. Extremely powerful when paired with an energy sword, as it cannot reliably kill anything by itself. It has no shot limit, but takes a while to charge each shot.

Energy Sword

Energy Sword Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 8 telecrystals. Used for: Mass murder. Strategy: This sword will usually crit someone in three to four hits (more if the target is armored). It leaves a bloody mess though. When it is on it has a chance to deflect projectiles. Needs to be turned on before use. Can fit in a pocket if shut off. Description This is a melee weapon that will do a lot of (30) brute damage. It also has a high chance to knock someone down, or outright uncouncious. It has two states, on and off. When it's off, you can fit it into your pocket, but it's a terrible weapon. Activate it to switch between the two states, but be warned, turning it on or off causes a very loud and distinct noise. It is also a very good combo combined with the e-bow's knockdown. You have a decent chance of reflecting projectiles with it when turned on. You can also hit it with a multitool to make a RAINBOW SWORD.

Double-bladed Energy Sword

Double-bladed Energy Sword Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 16 telecrystals. Used for: SUPER mass murder, making security and all their stunning and lasers completely irrelevant. Strategy: Simply having this weapon active will completely ruin anyone who tries to shoot you with a taser. Description 25+ players only The double energy sword is an immensely powerful weapon, capable of sending unarmored victims into critical in just 3 hits (and likely stunning them, dismembering, or knocking them unconscious long before that). Like the single-bladed Energy Sword, it must be turned on to be used properly, and can still be stored in your pocket when turned off. The main reason why this weapon is so powerful compared to its predecessor is because it will reflect all energy and laser bolts sent at it back at the person who shot at you, guaranteed. This makes unrobust Security completely and totally useless at range, and makes them easy kills if they get hit by their own taser shots. This sword is not unstoppable, however. It also has a chance to reflect bullets, but this is somewhat unreliable. It will also not stop melee attacks, so try to avoid the inevitable jousting matches with stunbatons and disarm intent. Temperature gun shots go right through this.

Powerfist

Power Fist Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 8 telecrystals. Used for: break some bones (if this were Baystation). Strategy: This weapon's main strength is throwing people away from you and/or into a fire, open airlock, electrified airlock, emagged gibber etc. Description This is a melee WEAPON (hold it in your hand) that can do moderate to really high brute damage. It is piston powered, and said piston is activated by gas coming from a gas tanks. To mount a gas tank, simply click on the powerfist with the tank in your hand. The pressure valve can be adjusted with a wrench to the setting 1,2 and 3. To remove an empty tank, use a screwdriver on the powerfist. Setting one has force 20 and launches people 1 tile away. Setting two and three double and triple these values respectively, so 40/60 damage and 2/3 tiles thrown. From a standard, filled tank of air one should expect 4 full punches on setting two and 3 on setting three.

EMP Kit

EMP Kit Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: The disabling of technology, such as cameras, radios, etc. Strategy: Best used aggressively against technology, such as destroying an AI. If you wish to opt for a more stealthy approach, the Cryptographic Sequencer and EMP Flashlight are usually better. Note that EMP grenades are the pretty much the only reliable way to stop an approaching cyborg from afar as a traitor, unless you have access to an Ion rifle. Contents Description x6 These are weapons used for disabling electronics like the AI's cameras. They can also be used to silence those pesky pAIs for a few minutes. That or flat out kill them while you home in for the kill. Click on the Grenade to activate it and then throw it like normal grenades. The implanter functions the same, but after implanting it into yourself, it can be activated three times using the action button. Other uses include draining the batteries of APCs, completely draining the batteries of sec equipment like stun batons and tasers, shocking/opening nearby doors and blinding those who wear thermals caught in the emp range. If you EMP a group of sec officers before a fight, they'll be completely disarmed of stun weaponry (as of right now, emp will only drain about 20% of a stunbaton's total charge, though) aside from Flashes and Flashbangs. They also stun cyborgs for a good deal of time.

Syndicate Minibomb

Syndicate Minibomb Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals. Used for: Blowing shit up, making holes in the station. Strategy: Cook the grenade in your hand (for no longer than at most two seconds) and throw it at someone when they least expect it. Use it on crowds or downed targets. Description The Minibomb is a grenade with a five-second fuse. It will cause a small explosion, but that explosion will still create holes to space. It can usually outright kill or even gib an unarmored target. Those wearing armor may survive. A messier and more costly alternative to using an IED on a corpse.

Holoparasites

Holoparasite injector kit Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 18 telecrystals. Used for: ORAORAORAORAORA Strategy: Has many strategic options depending on which type of Holoparasite you choose to summon. Description 25+ players only Contains a Holoparasite injector. When injected, it will attempt to summon a Ghost player to take on the role of a spirit-like entity living in your body, capable of using different powers to help you, decided by its type. If no ghost accepts the role, you can get a TC refund.

Ammunition

.357 Speedloader

.357 Speedloader Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals. Also made in hacked autolathes, costs 50,000 metal units. Used for: Ammo for the Revolver. Strategy: Order in conjunction with the revolver for extra killing potential. Or better yet completely ignore it and go for the hacked autolathe method instead. Description This is ammo for the Revolver. It gives the revolver 7 more shots. It can be used by clicking on an empty revolver while you hold the ammo in your active hand. This can be made and recycled in a hacked autolathe for 50,000 metal units, and it is usually always a better idea to gain access to that over ordering these if it is an option.

10mm Handgun Magazine

10mm Handgun Magazine Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystals. Loose ammo boxes can be made in a hacked autolathe, costs 50,000 metal units. Used for: Ammunition for the Stechkin. Strategy: Order in conjunction with the stechkin for extra killing potential. Using on a stechkin already loaded with a magazine will do a tacticool reload, replacing the old magazine with it and dropping the old magazine under your feet. Can be handloaded from a loose ammo box. Description This is ammo for the Stechkin. It gives the stechkin a full clip. It can be used by either using a stechkin in hand to remove the old magazine and loading it in, or using directly for a tactical reload. Loose ammo boxes can be made in a hacked autolathe for 50,000 metal units, it is ill-advised to order any more handgun magazines as it's more economical to simply handload empty magazines.

10mm Armour Piercing Magazine

10mm Armour Piercing Magazine Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Armour piercing ammunition for the Stechkin. Strategy: Order this when you want to kill someone armoured like security staff. Description An additional 8-round 10mm magazine; compatible with the Stechkin Pistol. These rounds are less effective at injuring the target but penetrate protective gear.

10mm Incendiary Magazine

Strategy: Order this when you want to see someone burn. Description An additional 8-round 10mm magazine; compatible with the Stechkin Pistol. Loaded with incendiary rounds which ignite the target.

10mm Hollow Point Magazine

10mm Hollow Point Magazine Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 3 telecrystals. Used for: Ammunition for the Stechkin which deals more damage against unarmoured targets. Strategy: Order this when you want to kill someone who is likely unarmoured. Description An additional 8-round 10mm magazine; compatible with the Stechkin Pistol. These rounds are more damaging but ineffective against armour.

Box of Riot Darts

Ammo-riot darts Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Ammo for the foam force Toy Handgun. Strategy: Order as extra ammo for the toy gun. Generally not a good idea as riot darts themselves are re-usable. Description This is ammo for the Toy Gun. Buy this if you cannot get it from an autolathe, or reuse the ones you shot.

Stealthy and Inconspicuous Weapons

Martial Arts Scroll

Martial Arts Scroll Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 17 telecrystals. Used for: Fighting ranged attackers, killing people with your fists. Strategy: This scroll will teach you the Sleeping Carp style, making you immune to ranged attacks but also unable to use guns, while making your hits stronger. Description You must keep reading the scroll until you get a message saying you have mastered the ability. This will take some time and you will see several smaller flavor messages while reading. The Sleeping Carp style then lets you ignore all ranged attacks, whether energy or physical (but not thrown items). Dodging an attack this way will make a noticeable sound and message, which will alert everyone close of this skill, and thus of your traitor status. You will also not be able to use any ranged weapon, as it would be dishonorable. Your punches do 10 to 15 brute, and your grabs will start as aggressive. You can also combo attacks by switching intents while hitting. Possible Combos: Wrist Wrench: Disarm Disarm. Forces the opponent to drop the item in his hand. Stuns for 6 seconds. Does not work if target is already stunned. Back Kick: Harm Grab. The opponent must be facing away from you. Paralyzes for 8 seconds. Does not work if target is paralyzed. Stomach Knee: Grab Harm.

Deals huge damage, and instantly kills anyone in critical condition.

Box of Throwing Weapons

Box of Throwing Weapons Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Used for: Murdering people by throwing things. Strategy: Use the throwing stars to cause heavy damage and bleeding due to embedding, and the bolas to prevent the target from running off or dodging. Contents Description 5x, 2x This kit contains five throwing stars and two reinforced bolas. Throwing stars will deal heavy brute damage on hit and automatically embed, causing further brute and bleeding over time. Reinforced bolas slow targets down on hit until they are removed. They take longer to remove than normal bolas.

Toy Gun with Riot Darts

Toy Gun with Riot Darts Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 3 telecrystals. Used for: Hiding a stunning weapon in plain sight. Strategy: This gun is identical to the normal toy guns, but it shoots stamina-damaging darts that can knock down. Description An innocent-looking toy pistol designed to fire foam darts. Comes loaded with riot-grade darts effective at incapacitating a target.

Sleepy Pen

"Pen" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals. Used for: Disabling people, making people look dead. Strategy: This item will paralyze people, so they cannot talk and will collapse after a short time. It will quickly wear off. Description This is a very devious little item. It is a one-use injector that looks like a pen. The pen injects Mute-Toxin, Morphine and Tirizene into people, preventing them from talking and causing them to fall over. They can still see and hear everything around them, until they actually fall asleep from the morphine. Does not penetrate hardsuits. The toxins inside are completely non-lethal, so if you want to kill with it you need something else. Not available in Nuke Ops.

Poison Kit

Poison Kit Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals. Used for: Murdering people silently. Strategy: Inject these poisons into food, medicines, cryotubes, or just shoot them with a syringe gun. Contents Description This kit contains a bottle each of Polonium, Venom, Fentanyl, Formaldehyde, Cyanide, Histamine, Initropidil, Pancuronium, Sodium Thiopental, Coniine, Curare and Amanitin, with a free syringe to inject them with.

Romerol

Romerol Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 25 telecrystals. Used for: Creating a zombie infestation. Strategy: Inject into food, medicines, cryotubes, or just shoot it with a syringe gun. Contents Description Romerol adds a zombie infection organ to victims. When those victims die, they will revive as zombies who can infect other people. Because Romerol costs more than 20 telecrystals, at least two traitors will need to collaborate to buy it. It can be applied to corpses directly, allowing creation of zombies from corpses in the Morgue.

Dart Pistol

Dart Pistol Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals. Used for: Shooting chemicals. Useful with the Poison Kit. Strategy: Use it as you would a normal syringe gun; the only difference is that it fits into a pocket. Description This pistol can load chemical-filled syringes and shoot them at people. Only fits one syringe at a time, but it can fit in pockets.

Energy Dagger

Energy Dagger Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Last resort combat. Strategy: Shove it in your PDA. Don't bring it out until you need it, because everyone knows only syndicates have energy blades. Description It's a dagger that does 18 brute, but can be disguised and hidden like a pen. Keep it out of sight and then bring it out once you've got somebody on the ropes. It's better than most weapons and it's very cheap, so it's not a bad last resort, and unless people know you have it they're very unlikely to search your PDA pen.

Syndicate Soap

"Soap" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. Used for: Cleaning things, and slipping people on it. Strategy: Can be used for a quick clean up if you lack space cleaner, so you're not covered in blood, or it can be used like a banana peel. Description It's a bar of evil looking soap. It can clean up a blood off the ground or on your clothes by using it on them. Also slips people for a moment. Useful with an energy sword. In addition, it cleans things much faster than normal soap, making it handy for a quick cleanup.

Detomatix PDA Cartridge

Detomatix Cartridge Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals. Used for: Making other's PDAs explode. Strategy: Use this to hurt your target from afar, or wait until you can see them, detonate their PDA, and then quickly kill them. Description A cartridge for your PDA. When inserted, it will allow you to use the missile program to attempt to remotely detonate other people's PDAs in a kind of weak explosion (Still powerful enough to knock out people and destroy the victim's ID, though). Your target PDA will need the messenger function turned on in order to attempt this, and you need to scan for other PDAs, then import the list. Despite this it is a decent way of sowing panic aboard the station, or softening up a target for an assassination attempt. Comes with 4 charges. It also has a bomb program that when run causes the PDA to self destruct. Useful against gullible targets, or turning PDAs into hand grenades. For syndicates, this cartridge has the blast door toggle function for the syndicate shuttle as well, allowing you to open the door when the person with the military PDA has died horribly.

Pizza Bomb

Pizza Bomb Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals. Used for: Tasty bomb delivery. Strategy: This pizza box contains a bomb inside, a bit stronger than a Syndicate Minibomb. To arm it, open the box, using the other hand take out the pizza, drop the pizza, use the box again with your empty hand to set the timer, put the pizza back in, close it. The next person to open it will trigger the bomb! Description A pizza box with a bomb cunningly attached to the lid. The timer needs to be set by opening the box; afterwards, opening the box again will trigger the detonation after the timer has elapsed. Comes with free pizza, for you or your target!

Universal Suppressor

Suppressor Suppressor Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 3 telecrystals. Used for: Silencing weapons. Strategy: Attach it to your Stechkin, or to other ballistic weapons (that isn't a revolver or shotgun) to silence and remove the weapon's attack messages. Description A universal syndicate small-arms suppressor for maximum espionage. Can be attached to almost any non-revolver/shotgun firearm.

Dehydrated Space Carp

Dehydrated Space Carp Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. Used for: Sudden carp invasions. Strategy: Looks like a normal carp toy. If it comes in contact with water, however, it will create a full-sized space carp, aggressive to everyone nearby. If you use the plushie in hand before activating it, the carp won't attack you once spawned. Description Looks like a plush toy carp, but just add water and it becomes a real-life space carp! Activate in your hand before use so it knows not to kill you.

Slipocalypse Clusterbang

Slipocalypse Clusterbang Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals. Used for: Making a large area slippery with soap. Strategy: Once used, it will split into several grenades, which in turn will spawn a bar of Syndicate Soap each. Description A traditional clusterbang grenade with a payload consisting entirely of Syndicate soap. Useful in any scenario!

Stealth and Camouflage Items

Chameleon Kit

Chameleon Kit Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: A complete kit of clothing (jumpsuit, vest, shoes, gloves, mask, hat, PDA, gun, stamp and headset) capable of changing color and shape. Lightly armored. Strategy: Very useful for traitors who want to try a stealthy approach by disguising as a bunch of crewmembers. Description Each part of the disguise kit gives a HUD button in the top-left corner to individually change each part. The shoes in this kit do not prevent slipping. The mask has a built-in voice changer that can be toggled on/off by using it in hand, and will match your voice with your currently equipped ID (great in combination with the Agent ID!). Extremely useful for infiltration.

No-Slip Chameleon Shoes

No-Slip Chameleon Shoes Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Not slipping. Strategy: These can be bought separately from the chameleon kit if you don't need the rest. Description 20+ players only Similar to the Chameleon Kit these shoes have an action button to change shape, but unlike the chameleon shoes they also protect you from slips.

Agent ID Card

Agent Identification Card Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Concealing your identity and avoiding security/the AI. Strategy: Copy someone's name and access while being near invisible to the AI and security bots. Use in conjunction with a Chameleon Kit or at least a mask. Description This is a special ID card with multiple uses: The AI's camera eye can no longer track/jump to you and instead has to manually follow you. Having an agent card in your ID slot will reduce security bots' threat assessment level by 2. This makes them ignore most offenses and even arrest warrants as long as you don't stack more than one offense. You can forge the card's name, assignment and look. This works in combination with the chameleon kit's voice changer! Agent IDs copy the access of other ID cards they're used on. Lots of fun at the HoPline. Basic access is Maintenance and Syndicate.

Chameleon Projector

Chameleon Projector Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 7 telecrystals. Used for: Hiding as an item on the station. Strategy: Scan an item nobody cares about (it defaults as a cigarette butt) and hide as that item when in a chase, just make sure people don't pick you up. Move only when nobody's looking. Description Allows you to scan any item that can be picked up and then disguise yourself as that item. While disguised you move at walk speed and cannot interact with anything you're not already holding, and if someone tries to pick you up the disguise fails and you change back to normal. Incredibly useful, and a lot of fun, if you use it correctly. You cannot be detected by the AI when it is active. Currently an extremely powerful item as in order to shoot and actually hit you, security must click on the item you disguised as, not the tile you're on or past that. This makes disguising as a cigarette butt very useful for making them waste all their shots.

Camera Bug

Camera Bug Camera Bug Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. Used for: Spying through cameras. Strategy: Can be used to know when people are in a certain area so you know when to detonate a bomb, or sneak through and steal something, or murder someone. Can also be used to remotely disable many cameras at the same time. Description When activated in your hand, you will see a list of all active cameras on the station, for you to use to spy on people or areas as you please. You do not need to use the Camera Bug on cameras to be able to remotely view them. It can also track people. The Camera Bug used to be upgradable, but now has network, tracking, and sabotage upgrades by default and can not be further upgraded. Use the Camera Bug on a camera to bug it. Bugging a camera will allow you to remotely disable that camera through the 'tracking menu'.

Smuggler's Satchel

Smuggler's Satchel Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Hiding items under floortiles. Strategy: Use it to stash contraband or bombs under the crew's feet. Description This satchel is made to fit under floortiles, and contains already a crowbar and floortile to hide it with. It can also fit in a back pack, making it an exceptional item for storage since it can hold normal sized items. Additionally, sometimes satchels can persist between rounds along with one of the items inside.

Stimpack

Stimpack Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Used for: Reducing stuns for a long time. Strategy: Use it on yourself before a fight with security.

EMP Flashlight

Strategy: Best used stealthily against technology. For the traitor who prefers a more delicate touch. Description Behaves in almost an exactly similar way to the EMP kit's grenades/implant but is rechargeable, disguised, and localized. It functions exactly like a regular flashlight except when you hit something with the flashlight, the item will act as if it was hit with an EMP. Hitting a person with it will disable their headset and any energy based weaponry they possess, while hitting a cyborg will damage and stun it. Using it on doors may either open or electrify them. The flashlight constantly recharges, but only has around 4 uses before it needs to recharge.

Adaptive Cardboard Cutouts

Adaptive Cardboard Cutouts Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. Used for: Making the crew believe in a nonexistant threat. Strategy: Place them somewhere, and disguise them as anything. Description This box contains three cardboard cutouts and a crayon to color them with. Unlike normal cardboard cutouts, they have no distinctive yellow tint, which makes them good for fooling gullible crew or an AI.

Decoy Nuclear Authentication Disk

Nuclear Authentication Disk Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. Used for: Fooling the crew into thinking that the nuclear authentication disk is safe. Strategy: Leave it in the Captains Quarters and hope he doesn't examine it. Description It's just a normal disk. Visually it's identical to the real deal, and only the Captain or nuclear operatives can identify it. Regular crew will find out by looking at the pinpointer or trying to put it in the nuke. Don't try to give this to us the Syndicate to complete your objective, they know better!

Space Suits and Hardsuits

Used for: Gaining entrance to restricted areas or lockers, unlocking hidden features in machinery, bending cyborgs to your will. Strategy: Use this to open anything and everything. Causes sparks in the process and you will leave a trail of broken open doors, lockers, and other equipment. Description Also called an Emag (electromagnetic card), it allows you to quite literally open anything (and break it in the process) and can alter many many things on the station. Also has several special functions, as it can hack cyborgs to serve you, cause multiple electronic devices to malfunction and become deadly, and can really ruin an engineer's day. Emagging something is different from Hacking something. See here for further info about what things can be hacked/opened by swiping them with an Emag.

Fully Loaded Toolbox

"Suspicious Looking Toolbox" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. There's also a couple found on the derelict space station. Used for: Obtaining tools and combat gloves. Strategy: Useful in a pinch if the AI has bolted you in somewhere and you have no other way to escape. Contents Description It's a suspicious looking toolbox, filled with ordinary tools.

Thermal Imaging Glasses

Thermal Imaging Glasses Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals. Used for: Seeing people, creatures, and synthetics through walls. Strategy: Used for tracking your targets and spotting threats or security ambushes. Description When worn, this item allows you to see any human, alien, cyborg, and even AIs through walls. Can be disguised as any kind of glasses. Wearing this leaves you very vulnerable to flashes, flashbangs, and EMP. Using a welding tool with this on may cause you to go blind.

Binary Translator Key

Binary Translator Key Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Used for: Communicating with the AI and Cyborgs. Strategy: Eavesdropping on the AI's conversation with its cyborgs. Communicate with the AI after you've subverted it. Description Needs to be attached to your headset before it can be used. Use a screwdriver to remove the keys already in your headset, and place the ones you want back in. This tool will allow you to access, and speak, on the robotic talk channels. Keep in mind, this will alert the AI, and all cyborgs that you are a syndicate agent if you speak on their channel. Very handy for hearing if the AI is rogue, is out to arrest you, or even if there are any other traitors out there. Speak on the channel with a :b before your text. These are easy to disguise, but nearby humans will be able to hear you whispering so keep this in mind when you talk (as you will get found out).

Ordering the bomb sends you a small beacon, which will teleport the explosive to your location when you activate it. You can wrench the bomb down to prevent removal. The crew may defuse the bomb by opening up the wiring and messing with it, however this has a chance of backfiring and causing the bomb to explode instantly. This can be used to your advantage by figuring out the detonation wire and adding a signaler so you can control when the bomb will go off. When the bomb explodes, it creates a huge explosion, which punches holes in the station and destroys the surrounding area. Flames burst everywhere, but they extinguish almost immediately, most likely due to exposure to space. Despite their cost, an expertly made tank bomb can still outdo the explosion caused by these.

They deal a surprisingly high amount of damage over time but can be outrun easily. The grenade is fantastic at helping clearing out a crowd of crewmen. However, it can be ineffective against Security personnel and the Captain as their armor and weapons allow them to ignore the viscerators long enough to (try to) gun you down. They are also extremely sharp and can outright sever limbs when attacking.

Devices and Tools

Syndicate Medical Supply Kit

Syndicate Medical Supply Kit Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals. Used for: Healing your fellow operatives. Strategy: Use this to keep your team alive. Description The syndicate medkit is a suspicious black and red. Included is a combat stimulant injector for rapid healing, a night vision medical hud for quick identification of injured comrades, a brute and burn healing patch, and a combat defibrillator that fits in belts and works through exosuits (usually useless due to explosive implants).

Blood-Red Magboots

Blood-Red Magboots Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Working without gravity. Strategy: Activate them if the gravity generator stops working. Description A pair of magnetic boots that will keep you on the ground if the gravity fails or is sabotaged, giving you a mobility advantage. If activated with gravity they will protect from slips, but they will slow you down.

Syndicate Detonator

Syndicate Detonator "Big red button" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink. It costs 3 telecrystals. Used for: Detonating all syndicate bombs at once. Strategy: Coordinating bomb blasts to destroy multiple objects simultaneously. Description The Syndicate Detonator is a companion device to the Syndicate Bomb. Simply press the included button and an encrypted radio frequency will instruct all live syndicate bombs to detonate. Useful for when speed matters or you wish to synchronize multiple bomb blasts. Be sure to stand clear of the blast radius before using the detonator. Operatives start with a working detonator in their base, buying this is usually redundant.

Assault Pod Targeting Device

Assault Pod Targeting Device Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink. It costs 30 telecrystals. Used for: Dropping on the station with style. Strategy: Use this to drop into a central area, giving less time to react to the crew. Description This device allows you to aim and use the assault pod located to the east of the syndicate base. The doors are id-locked to operatives and it's defended by wall-mounted automatic guns, making it a safe location to retreat to if necessary. It cannot return to the syndicate station, so at least one operative should send the ship onto the station to be able to come back. Also, don't forget the nuke behind!

Energy Shield

Energy Shield Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 16 telecrystals. Used for: Protecting yourself from energy weapons Strategy: This is a very powerful asset, it will deflect all energy based ranged attacks, laser or stun. This makes it significantly harder for station personnel to attack or subdue you at range as only the armoury's riot shotguns will be effective in bypassing the energy shield. While expensive, having the people up front wield an energy shield makes for a good breaching strategy. Description An incredibly useful personal shield projector, capable of reflecting energy projectiles and defending against other attacks.

Medbeam Gun

Medbeam Gun Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 15 telecrystals. Used for: Constant and free healing. Strategy: Use it on a target to begin healing it. Description A very efficient healing tool, that doesn't require the constant attention of the healer, since he can keep it in his offhand while shooting with the other hand. It cannot self-heal, however. Crossing the streams or trying to heal a target already being healed by another medbeam will cause a huge explosion. Be very wary when using two medbeam guns, or avoid buying two altogether.

Syndicate Sentience Potion

Syndicate Sentience Potion Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals. Used for: Giving intelligence and a radio implant to an animal. Strategy: Use it on an animal to render it intelligent and loyal to you. Keep in touch thanks to the implanted radio.

Microbomb Implant

Microbomb Implant Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Exploding on death. Strategy: Use it when dying to prevent your items from being stolen. Description Nuclear Operatives start with bomb implants already, but if you feel like increasing the strength of the explosion, you can add more explosive implants.

Macrobomb Implant

Support

Mechs, cyborgs and new troops, for when you feel you're understaffed.

Dark Gygax

Dark Gygax Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 80 telecrystals. Used for: Heavy Fire Support. Strategy: Mow down hallways of people and teleport onto the bridge to give the Captain a big surprise! Description One of the two assault mechs available to the operatives. At a heavy investment this mech provides a very powerful and versatile assault platform to support the assault into the station. Boasting a decent movement speed, an Ultra AC2 machinegun that shoots in bursts, a grenade launcher that fires flashbangs, a personal teleportation device, and an Energy Relay, this mech proves to be as powerful as anything the operatives can bring to bear. However, it is extremely vulnerable to ion guns, which will seriously damage the mech in a few hits. Consider not bringing your ship's ion gun along for the assault. Aside from the ion gun, the only easy way to bring it down is other EMPs, mass laser fire or a ton of explosives. It also has a leg actuator function, which speeds up the mech and allows it to knock down walls and structures, at the cost of the mech's integrity. Cannot maneuver in space: either use it in a drop pod or be very sure of where it's gonna land after you leave the ship.

Dark Mauler

Dark Mauler Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 140 telecrystals! Used for: Heavy Assault Platform. Strategy: For when you need to absolutely annihilate anything in your way, accept no substitute. Description The single most expensive item available to the Operatives, the Dark Mauler is an unholy terror to behold to even the most elite of Security personnel. Carrying a mounted LMG, a Scattershot gun, a Missile Rack, a Power Relay for infinite power and special anti-ranged armor, this monster can destroy the station ten-fold with the equipment it carries. Its armor makes it nearly impossible to destroy by all but the most concentrated, coordinated and well armed of counter attacks. Its main weakness is that is is very slow moving, making it easy to outrun. It can, however, walk through walls without any trouble, making most stationary fortifications pointless. Note that this does not, however, automatically make you unstoppable. To effectively use it you should already have some experience with mechs, it should also be noted that whoever is piloting this does not need as much gear as everyone else, so don't waste TC (although it is good to have a backup plan if the mech is destroyed).

Syndicate Cyborg

Syndicate Cyborg Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 65 TC for the assault module and 35 for the medical one. Used for: Robotic Support. Strategy: Increase team size by adding a borg to the team, an unstunnable killing machine. Description A repurposed Nanotrasen Cyborg, outfitted with the latest in Syndicate technology. This powerful killing machine has many great utilities that make it almost a necessary asset for many Nuke Op teams. Can either be an Assault or a Medical module. The assault module contains: A flash; An energy sword; A cyborg LMG that prints ammo from energy; A grenade launcher; An emag; A crowbar; A pinpointer; The medical module contains: A flash; A syndicate hypospray containing nanites; Medical Gauze; A defibrillator; A Medbeam Gun; A health analyzer; Surgery tools (The surgical saw can be toggled to be an energy sword); An emag; A crowbar; A pinpointer. The Syndicate cyborg is occupied by a ghost with the operative preference enabled. If there are no candidates, you can refund the telecrystals by hitting the uplink with the teleporter you get from ordering the cyborg.

Reinforcements

Reinforcements Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 25 telecrystals. Used for: Support. Strategy: Increase your team size by adding another operative. Description Gives a Reinforcement Teleporter. When used, a random ghost will become a new member of the nuke operative squad! The reinforcement starts with the normal operative equipment minus the TC, therefore someone has to equip them to make them useful: in particular, make sure there are enough spacesuits to get to the station.
