Syndicate Items

TOOLS OF THE NEFARIOUS TRADE

This is a hopefully comprehensive list of all the items Traitors and Nuclear Operatives can obtain through their uplink by paying Telecrystals.

The first section contains all the items a traitor can buy, with items available to nuclear operatives denoted by a green "Yes" in the appropriate column. The second section contains items exclusive to nuclear operatives.

TOYS FOR TOTS

Traitors by default have their PDA serve as their uplink. This can be changed through game preferences into your headset, your pen or a pre-installed uplink implant (-4 starting TC).

The shop page is hidden for stealth purposes, and to unlock it you will need to either enter the special code you receive roundstart as your PDA's custom ringtone, select a special frequency on your special headset, or click you special pen, whichever you chose as your preference. The shop interface is divided into categories. Traitors start with 25 Telecrystals, always.

Remember, there are discounts! Up to three items, unique for each uplink, can be purchased *once* each for a randomly discounted price. Cheaper items get discounted more often and discounts tend to average around 50% off, but every once in a while you can hit the jackpot and get a revolver for 80% off.

REAL WEAPONS FOR NUKEOPS

Nuclear operatives have a radio as uplink which starts unlocked, and can be detonated as an impromptu bomb if TC is tight. The shop interface is divided into categories. Operatives receive 30 telecrystals to start with, and receive much extra if they declare war on Nanotrasen.

Some items are very expensive, sometimes enough to be impossible to purchase. You can obtain more telecrystals from other operatives, or give yours away. How? In the category "bundles and telecrystals" you can "buy" Telecrystals to eject them from your uplink, and reinsert them into any unlocked uplink.

Up to three items, unique for each operative, can be purchased for a randomly discounted price, similar to ordinary traitors. There are also team discounts: discounted items that have unlimited supply (can always buy more as long as you have TC left) that are the same for every operative. Woe to any station that is besieged by operatives with discounted explosives, assault cyborgs or BattleMechs.
