Syndicate Items

Syndicate Items

Syndicate people get access to these cool items during Traitor and Nuke!

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 or a headset (or a radio if the mode is nuclear emergency). If it's a PDA, you will need to enter the code given into the ringtone selection in the messenger menu. A headset will need to be changed to the correct 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.), 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.

Conspicuous and Dangerous Weapons

Revolver

Full 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.

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. Remember to load it by using it in your hand.

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 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 can do a lot of 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 also is 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 combine it with another energy sword to create a far superior weapon. You can also hit it with a multitool to make a RAINBOW SWORD.

Double-bladed Energy Sword

Double-bladed Energy Sword Found in: Combining two Energy Swords 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 The double energy sword is an immensely powerful weapon, capable of sending unarmored victims into critical in just 3 hits (and likely stunning them or knocking them unconscious long before that). Like the energy sword before it, 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 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.

EMP Kit

EMP Kit Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals Used for: The disabling of technology, such as cameras, radios, etc. Strategy: Best used aggresively against technology. If you wish to opt for a more stealthy approach, the Cryptographic Sequencer is usually better. Note that emp grenades are the pretty much the only way to stop an approaching cyborg from afar as a traitor, unless you have access to an Ion rifle. Contents Description 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 twice using the *grin emote. Also included is the EMP flashlight, which you can functions exactly like a regular flashlight. When you hit something with the flashlight, the item will act as if it was hit with an EMP. The flashlight constantly recharges, but only has around 4 uses before it needs to recharge. Other uses include draining the batteries of APCs, completely draining the batteries of sec equipment like stun batons and tasers, shocking 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 stunbatton'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 (at most for no more than two seconds) for a bit 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.

Ammunition

Ammo 357

Ammo-357 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.

Stealthy and Inconspicuous Weapons

Sleepy Pen

"Pen" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 3 telecrystals Used for: Disabling people, making people look dead. Strategy: This item will paralyze people; 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 mutetoxin and sleeptoxin into people, preventing them from talking and causing them to fall over. They can still see and hear everything around them. The victim will survive if the attacker doesn't finish the job properly, and a dead body may not be easy to get rid of sometimes. Not available in nuke ops.

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 spacecleaner 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 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 go KABOOM! Strategy: Use this to hurt your target from afar, or wait until you can see them, detonate their PDA, and quickly kill them! Be careful, as it can backfire! 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 gib corpses, 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. In addition, there is a chance the cartridge will not work -- for instance on other syndicate PDAs -- or will feedback and blow up your own PDA. 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 toggled function for the syndicate shuttle as well, allowing you to open the door when the person with the military PDA has died horribly.

Stealth and Camouflage Items

Chameleon Jumpsuit

"Jumpsuit" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals Used for: Making your jumpsuit look a different color Strategy: Very useful for Nuke Agents who want to try a stealthy approach by disguising as a bunch of assistants. Description This jumpsuit's color can be changed into any other by using it. Unfortunately due to almost every job on the station also having matching shoes, backpacks, and exosuit slots it's actually pretty much completely useless outside of the assistant job. If hit by an EMP it will temporarily turn into a psychedelic jumpsuit which makes you very obvious to everyone around you.

Chameleon Stamp

Chameleon Stamp Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal Used for: Forging stamp marks. Strategy: Get the HoP to approve of your all-access with a stamp from every head, the clown, and cargo! Description A stamp that can be activated to imitate an official Nanotrasen Stamp™. The disguised stamp will work exactly like the real stamp and will allow you to forge false documents to gain access or equipment; it can also be used in a washing machine to forge clothing. Unlikely to be useful outside of very slow rounds with a very uptight cargo or HoP.

No-Slip Syndicate Shoes

"Brown Shoes" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 4 telecrystals. Used for: Non slip shoes. Strategy: Use these shoes with a spray bottle of water, achieve victory. Description A pair of brown shoes. These shoes are nonslip but without the speed penalties the janitor's galoshes have. Extremely useful when paired with a spray bottle filled with water and an energy sword.

Agent ID Card

Agent Identification Card Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 3 telecrystals. Used for: Upon use, you can set its job title to anything and the card's name to anything. It's used to hide your identity. Strategy: This card can be used by syndicate operatives and traitors to hide their identity. It comes pre-programmed with maintenance and syndicate access, but can steal more access by scanning other IDs. Wait in the HoP line and click people's IDs as they hand them over for ghetto all-access. Description This is a special ID card that makes you untrackable by the AI. You can forge any name and assignment on it and make it look more like a real ID, but the card will only have Maintenance and Syndicate access. You can click on other ID cards with it in your hand to copy the access of those cards, and you can do this multiple times. Good for when you are in deep shit or the AI is an idiot that likes to ruin your objective by watching you all the time (as opposed to doing its job.) Remember to wear it on your ID slot or it will not work.

Voice Changer

"Gas Mask" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Used for: Changing your voice to match the one of the ID you're wearing. Strategy: Any regular gas mask obstructs your face, so no-one will know you're not the person which your ID says you are, but speak and it's all over. This mask protects your identity by changing your voice to the owner of the ID you're wearing. It's very useful. Description It's a gasmask that changes your voice to whatever ID you are currently wearing, and also works like any gas mask too. You must use it to turn this ability on, or it won't do anything. Extremely useful when you have multiple IDs and want to reply to the crew and sow lies and confusion. Having a high-access headset, such as the HoS's or captain's, will let you make these orders and lies even more convincing. Can effectively allow you to impersonate almost anyone. It is however noticeable if you are wearing this and trying to impersonate a job which does not normally wear a gas mask, such as medical or most service jobs.

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 bump into you. 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 or runs into you 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. Alas, scanning a completed robot suit will only disguise you as a metal frame, so you can't impersonate a cyborg.

Camera Bug

Camera Bug Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystals. Used for: Spying on people on cameras. Strategy: Bug the dorms, watch people ERP go braindead, announce it to everyone. (Alternatively, use it to know when people are in a certain area so you know when to detonate a bomb, sneak through and steal something, or murder someone.) Description Enables you to bug cameras to view them remotely. You can add certain items to it to increase its usability. You can remove those items to return it to default by using a screwdriver. Adding a subspace wavelength analyzer or atmospheric analyzer to it will create a universal bug, which views all bugs, including ones others have placed. Adding a radio, signaler, or a subspace transmitter to it will make a networked bug, which can view all cameras on the station. Adding a igniter, infrared emitter, or a subspace amplifier will turn it into a sabotage bug, which has the ability to blow up any camera it has bugged. Adding a detective's scanner, a PAI, or a scanning module will make it an advanced bug, which can track people and monitor cameras.

Deviced and Tools

Cryptographic Sequencer

Cryptographic Sequencer Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 6 telecrystals. Used for: Gaining entrance to restricted areas or lockers, unlocking hidden features in machinery, bending borgs 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 hack many many things on the station. Also has several special function as it can hack cyborgs to serve you, cause multiple electronic items to malfunction and become deadly, and can really ruin an engineer's day. 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 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. Except instead of an analyzer, it comes with a multitool and cable coil. It's also slightly more robust than a regular toolbox.

Syndicate Space Suit

"Black and Red Space Suit" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Also found on the derelict. Used for: Space travel Strategy: Use them only if you can't get a regular suit. Functions like any space suit but with fewer movement penalties, and can be stored in your backpack. Description A complete, red space suit and helmet. This suit's movement penalties are fewer than an EVA space suit! Useful if you need to hide in a vacuum. They can also hold a robust selection of items in suit storage.

Thermal Imaging Glasses

"Optical Meson Scanners" 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. Disguised as the green Optical Meson Scanners engineers often use. 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 Encryption Key Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Used for: Communicating with the AI. 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).

Syndicate Encryption Key

"Standard Encryption Key" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Used for: Listening in on all of the station's radio chatter and communicating with other traitors that have purchased it. Strategy: Eavesdrop on security. Communicate with other traitors for cooperative goodness. 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 listen in on all of the station department's radio channels and speak on a hidden Syndicate channel with other traitors that are using the key. Speak on the channel with a .h before your text.

Artificial Intelligence Detector

"Multitool" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. Used for: Knowing when the AI is watching you. Strategy: Keep this in a pocket or an open toolbelt and watch it when you intend to do something suspicious, to ensure the AI isn't looking. Description A functional multitool that turns red when it detects an artificial intelligence watching it or its holder. While the AI is watching you, the green center light will appear as red. Knowing when an artificial intelligence is watching you is useful for knowing when to maintain cover, such as before murdering someone or breaking in somewhere.

Hacked AI Upload Module

Hacked AI Law Upload Module Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 14 telecrystals. Used for: Changing the AI's laws to what you want. Strategy: Break into AI Upload to upload, or steal the AI Upload circuit from Tech Storage. The more competent the AI is, the more useful this will be. Description This is the more powerful version of the 'Freeform' AI Module. It allows you to upload Hacked laws onto the AI from any AI Upload Console. Unlike Freeform, the name of the person who uploaded it is not revealed to the AI. The hacked Laws act like Ion Storm Laws and will precede the numbered laws in priority, automatically overriding all other laws should they conflict. Make sure you pay attention to the wording of your new Law as most AIs would love to use any loophole it can find to kill you.

Plastic Explosive charge (C4)

C-4 Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal. Used for: Blowing stuff up. Strategy: Stick it on things that need to blow up. Description This pack of explosives can detonate and destroy almost anything it is placed on, after any chosen amount of seconds (the shortest being 10). C4 takes 5 seconds to set up, and requires you to be un-interrupted. You can also open the wiring with a screwdriver, allowing you to set a signaler to detonate instantly, among other things. Cannot be placed on mobs, so you can't just slap a brick on them and run.

Power Sink

Power Sink Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 10 telecrystals Used for: Sucks up all the station power, causing a black-out. Strategy: This will suck up all the station's power very quickly. Use it on the main station's power grid to suck it. Don't place it on solars, as it will only suck out the solar's power. Description This bad boy is a station engineers and AI's worst enemy. When bought, this thing is useless, but when the power sink comes in contact with exposed wires out in space or on the station it starts to drain the power at a RAPID rate. You must screw it into place on a wire with a screwdriver, then turn it on. But as easy as it was set down, any one can pick it right back up! Make sure to put it somewhere secure, but also make sure that it is attached to the main station power.

Singularity Beacon

"Ominous Beacon" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 14 telecrystals. Used for: Attracting a loose singularity towards the beacon at a brisk pace. Strategy: Set it up in a secluded location, then release the singularity. Excellent for forcing a shuttle call and succeeding in escape alone objectives. Description Placed like a powersink, screwdriver to secure it and use an open hand to turn it on; the singularity beacon will attract the singularity towards it, if it is loose. Note that for it to be useful at all the singularity does need to be released, as the beacon will not release it by itself. A singularity beacon can not be picked up after it is spawned, and must be dragged around. It also blocks movement over it, so be sure to spawn it where you want to set the beacon up.

Syndicate Bomb

Syndicate Bomb Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 11 telecrystals. Used for: Making really big holes. Strategy: Place somewhere safe, activate, and run. Make sure nobody defuses it. Description The Syndicate Bomb has an adjustable timer with a minimum setting of 60 (BYOND) seconds. That's close to around 2 real life minutes. 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.

Implants

Freedom Implant

Freedom Implant Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 5 telecrystals. Used for: Escaping an arrest. Strategy: Instantly uncuffing yourself so you can make your escape/kill the arresting officer. Description If you inject yourself with the implanter inside, you can instantly get out of handcuffs a limited number of times (Usually 1-2, maybe 3). This can be quite useful for a traitor, but it's nigh useless for the syndicate during nuke because most people just kill them on sight.

Uplink Implant

Uplink Implant Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 20 telecrystals. Used for: Spawning syndicate items without using your hands or PDA. Contains 10 telecrystals. Strategy: Useful if you want to try completing your objective without any syndicate items. Use it in the case you get permabrigged. Description Injecting yourself with this will allow you to bring up a syndicate uplink menu by using a custom emote at any time. It comes with 10 telecrystals. Really good if you think you can do your objective without any syndicate items. In the case your target is a person, kill them and make sure they can't be cloned. In the case your target is an object, steal it and store it somewhere safe that you can retrieve from later. If you get captured, you can spawn yourself whatever items you need to break out.

Adrenal Implant

Adrenal Implant Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 8 telecrystals. Used for: Removing stuns, healing. Strategy: Surprise arresting officers by popping right back up after being tased. Proceed to murder shocked arresting officers. Description An implant injected into the body, and later activated with an emote to inject a chemical cocktail with a mild healing effect and a removal of all stuns. Using it after being stunned will immediately bring you back to your feet.

(Pointless) Badassery

Syndicate Bundle

"Box" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 20 telecrystals. Used for: Random Traitoring. Strategy: Get this if you don't know what you want to get, or if you want a challenge. Description Randomly picks a set of Syndicate items and spawns them in a common box. The total cost of items you get is always more than 20 telecrystals. You get more than you would normally be able to at the cost of not knowing what you're going to get. Spawning a Syndicate Bundle will give you one of the following sets: Spy Chameleon Jumpsuit Voice Changer Agent Card Agent Card Stealth Energy Crossbow Sleepy Pen Chameleon Projector Operative 2x Tank Transfer Valve Bombs Power Sink Syndicate Space Suit and Helmet Guns Revolver Ammo .357 Cryptographic Sequencer C4 Plastic Explosive Murder Energy Sword Optical Thermal Scanner Cryptographic Sequencer No-Slip Shoes Hacker Cryptographic Sequencer Hacked AI Module Binary Encryption Key Singularity Cryptographic Sequencer Singularity Beacon Syndicate Space Suit and Helmet Dark Lord 2x Energy Sword Telekenesis SE Injector Agent Card Dark Lord robes Implant Freedom Implant Uplink Implant Adrenaline Implant EMP Implant (Functions like an EMP grenade centered on yourself) Explosive Implant (Gibs the implanted on death, similar to a nuclear operative's implant)

For showing that you are The Boss

"Syndicate Balloon" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 20 telecrystals. Used for: Looking fucking awesome. Strategy: Buy this if you feel you can do your objectives without the use of syndicate items. Description It's a red balloon with a white S on it. It does balloon type stuff such as floating and being filled with air. Shitcurity may arrest you for having one as they hate balloons and fun. Buy four in Nuke for the GRAND PRIZE.

Syndicate Surplus Crate

"Crate" Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 20 telecrystals. Used for: Taking a gamble or getting tons of items. Strategy: This can contain nearly everything on the uplink. If you want to take a gamble, buy it. Description It's a crate. It contains 50 telecrystals worth of completely random Syndicate items. This can be anything from an emag to a deck of cards. It can be useless junk or really good. It's fun to buy if you have an easy objective or want to switch up your strategy.

Nuclear Strike Team

Items only available to syndicate operatives during Nuke.

Teleporter Circuit Board

Teleporter Circuit Board Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 40 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Completing your shuttle's teleporter. Strategy: Storming the station in a surprise attack! Go in all together or split up to different tracking beacons Description This circuit board will allow you to finish the teleporter in the shuttle you start in. Allows the operatives to skip the step of infiltrating the station from space in favor of direct insertion. Remember that this a one-way trip: you will not be able to teleport back onto the shuttle, especially with the nuke disk.

Viscerator Grenade

Viscerator Grenade Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 8 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Crowd Control. Strategy: Essentially a tear gas grenade that can kill people, effective for clearing rooms. Description This grenade, when thrown, will disperse 5 manhack viscerators. They will proceed to chase and attack any nearby Non-Syndicate personnel. They deal a surprisingly good amount of damage over time but can be outrun easily. The grenade is fantastic in helping clearing out a crowd of crewmen. However, it is very 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.

Syndicate Medical Supply Kit

Syndicate Medical Supply Kit Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 9 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Healing your fellow operative. Strategy: ??? Description The syndicate medkit is a suspicious black and red. Included is a combat stimulant injector for rapid healing, a medical hud for quick identification of injured comrades, and other medical supplies helpful for a medical field operative. Contais: Combat Stimulant Injector; a modified air-needle autoinjector, used by operatives trained in medical practices to quickly heal injuries in the field. Contains a 60 unit mix of Doctor's Delight and Synaptizine, injects 10 units at a time. Health Scanner HUD Lethal Injection Syringe Dermaline Pill Bicaridine Pill Surgical Drill Stethoscope

Energy Shield

Energy Shield Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 16 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Protecting yourself from energy weapons Strategy: This is a very powerful asset, it will deflect all energy based 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 a 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.

Stetchkin

Stetchkin Pistol Found in: Issued to Syndicate Operatives for free, also available for Traitors. Used for: Killing people. Strategy: A free sidearm for Syndicate operatives and a cheap firearm for Traitors. Holds 8 rounds and deals 25 brute damage per round. Can be silenced with a attachment. Description The Stetchkin is a surprisingly reliable sidearm for Syndicate operatives. Each Operative is issued with this pistol for free, a additional magazine in their equipment locker and more magazines onboard their ship. This weapon is a four shot crit weapon, which by itself can be used to dispatch low threat targets or as a fallback weapon during combat. It can even be used as a primary weapon for extended periods to conserve ammo for other weapons, or paired with the Bulldog as a cheap C20r alternative.

Ammo-10mm

Ammo-10mm Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 1 telecrystal, also available for Traitors. Used for: Loading the Stechkin. Strategy: Lock and load. Description A 8-round 10mm magazine for use in the Stechkin Pistol.

Bulldog

Bulldog Shotgun Found in: Issued to Syndicate Operatives for free, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Killing/Stunning people. Strategy: A robust and free primary shotgun. Holds a wide selection of ammo types. Description The Bulldog is a semi-automatic drum fed shotgun that can hold up to 8 shells. Given to each Operative for free at mission start, this can make a excellent fallback weapon or a robust primary weapon by itself. While its suffers from the drawbacks of shotguns (unpredictable damage at range) it can nonetheless make a reliable and cheap alternative to other more expensive weapons. A Bulldog with stun shells and a Sketchin can make for a cheap alternative C20r SMG when strapped for telecrystals.

Ammo-12g Stun Slug

Stun Slug Drum Magazine Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystal, only available to Nuclear Agents. Free Magazine in starting Bulldog. Used for: Loading the Bulldog. Strategy: Lock and load. Description A 8 round drum magazine for use in the Bulldog Shotgun. Functions akin to a stun round from a energy gun or C20r, has unlimited range, deals 5 brute damage and stuns for the standard 10 second limit. A reliable way to stun a target, but not effective in killing them.

Ammo-12g Buckshot

Buckshot Drum Magazine Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 2 telecrystal, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Loading the Bulldog. Strategy: Lock and load. Description A 8 round drum magazine for use in the Bulldog Shotgun. Essentially functions as any normal shotgun, deals great damage in close range combat, dealing 75 brute damage if all pellets hit, but at mid to long range deals very variable if not very little damage. Akin to most shotguns a buckshot magazine is unreliable in ranged combat, however this ammo type excels in close range encounters such as maintenance or when holding a corner.

Ammo-12g Dragon's Breath

Dragon Breath Drum Magazine Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 3 telecrystal, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Loading the Bulldog. Strategy: Lock and load. Description A 8 round drum magazine for use in the Bulldog Shotgun. While slightly more expensive than the Buckshot Magazine, the Dragon's Breath shells trade immediate damage, dealing only 20 brute damage if all pellets hit a target, for long term damage in setting anyone caught in its blast on fire. A shot from a Dragon's Breath magazine leaves a long trail of fire that quickly dissipates, but can be effective in setting many crew members on fire. Don't shoot your own teammates in the back.

C20r SMG

Strategy: The signature weapon of Nuke Ops, it deals reliable damage and almost always knocks down the target. Description Nuke Ops do not spawn with an SMG, they must buy it. It knocks the target down, similar to the detective's revolver, though chances are if you go down, you're not getting back up.

L6 SAW

L6 SAW Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 40 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents. Used for: Mowing down people. Strategy: An expensive investment, designed for consistent and powerful fire support for assault teams. Description Holds the most ammo of any gun available: 50 rounds dealing 60 brute damage each. Two good shots on someone and they're down. Its heavy investment cost means at most only a single weapon will be used by the Ops if any at all. Most nuke op teams prefer to invest in a Mech or Cyborg over the L6 due to the heavy risk of the L6 user being knocked down and having the weapon turned on the team, and just the heavy cost in general. The operative using the L6 SAW should remain close to their team and not move alone and risk losing the gun.

Dark Gygax

Dark Gygax Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 90 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents. 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 will knock down anyone it hits, a grenade launcher that fires flashbangs, and a personal teleportation device, this mech proves to be as powerful as anything the operatives can bring to bear. However, it is extremely vulnerable to an ion gun, 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 with mass laser fire or a ton of explosives. The main weakness of the mech is that it has lesser armor than other mechs and that its weapons all require ammunition which can run out and cannot be replenished. However, it can still activate its leg actuator overload function to chase you down and beat you to a pulp, or retreat after taking damage.

Dark Mauler

Dark Mauler Found in: Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 140 telecrystals! Only available to Nuclear Agents. 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 Solaris Heavy Laser Cannon, a SRM8 Missile Rack, a Power Relay for infinite power and additional armor layers, this monster can destroy the station 10-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 also be locked down by the AI by bolting doors, forcing it to expend its limited missiles to blast open a path. Just don't let it corner you or prepare to be bombed back to the stone age.

Syndicate Cyborg

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. It comes standard issue with a Laser Gun, Energy Crossbow, Emag, Energy Sword and a Jetpack. It also comes with a 25,000k power cell. All of its modules use 100 power for every use except the Energy Sword which uses 500 on use. The Syndi Borg is a powerful ally as it is unstunnable by most methods allowing it to lead the attack with impunity. It is easy to repair on the field with a welder, and it can Emag other Cyborgs to turn the stations Borgs against the station! Also it as the ability to listen into the Binary Channel and interact with Doors as a normal borg, allowing it to unbolt or shock doors! Similarly, it does not trigger outer AI sat alarms, allowing it to quickly and easily destroy AIs before they have a chance to scream. 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.
