To help them achieve their objectives, some antagonists, including traitors and nuclear operatives, have access to an uplink from which they can purchase contraband from the Syndicate with telecrystals (TC). For traitors, the uplink is accessible through their PDA. For nuclear operatives, they have a separate uplink radio.
Using the Uplink
For Nuclear Operatives, the uplink radio begins in your pocket with 40 TC. For traitors, you must enter a code into your PDA's ringtone setting that is given to you when you are selected as a traitor. This will enable two extra settings: one to access your uplink and one to close it, randomising your ringtone. As a traitor, you start with 20 TC.
You may spend TC on various items which will appear variously in your hands or on the ground by you. You can also extract telecrystals to give to a syndicate friend.
Some items cost may change depending on if you are a traitor or a Nuclear Operative, to compensate for the two playstyles. Additionally, some items are unique between traitors and Nuclear Operatives, and sometimes even unique for various jobs traitors may have.
Uplink Discounts
Every round two to three items in a traitor's uplink may be discounted. Each item has one of 3 discount rarities, and is discounted by a random amount within a unique range. Nuclear Operatives do not get to take advantage of this system.
Discount Type | Purpose | Weight |
---|---|---|
Usual Discount | This is for commonly used items that could be discounted for some variation in gameplay. | 80/100 |
Rare Discount | This is for items that are rarely used. In this category, items may be discounted to 1 TC to encourage usage of these overlooked items. | 18/100 |
Very Rare Discount | This is for VERY useful and dangerous items such as the emag and Agent ID. If one of these is discounted, it | 2/100 |
Uplink Catalog
Weapons
Image | Name | Description | Cost (TC) | NukeOps |
---|---|---|---|---|
Surplus Rifle | A weapon of a bygone era. A huge bolt action rifle with medicore damage and low fire rate. The weapon has a 10 round internal magazine. Its biggest upside is the cost. Fires .30 rifle ammo | 1 | Yes | |
Energy Dagger | A pen, that upon activation, turns into an energy dagger. The energy dagger makes less noise and does less damage than a full energy sword, however, it's easier to conceal and it is much cheaper. | 2 | Yes | |
Viper | A small, easily concealable, automatic pistol chambered in .35 auto. Retrofitted with a fully automatic receiver. Use pistol magazines. | 3 | Yes | |
Cobra | A rugged, robust operator handgun with an inbuilt silencer. Chambered in .25 caseless, this weapon leaves no trace. Uses pistol magazines. The impact of the bullets is louder then the gun itself. | 4 | Yes | |
throwing knives | A set of 4 syndicate branded throwing knives, perfect for imbedding into the body of your victims. | 6 | Yes | |
Energy Shield | A close cousin to the Energy Sword, the Energy Shield is an ignitable plasma shield that deflects almost all lasers and energy based projectiles. Additionally, like other shields, it also blocks a good portion of other incoming damage. | 8 | Yes | |
Gloves of the North Star | A pair of blue gloves that drastically increases your punching speed. Deals brute damage. | 8 | Yes | |
Energy Sword | A concealable and dangerous plasma sword. Can stored and easily concealed when turned off. Has a decent chance to reflect lasers and bullets. Igniting the sword makes a loud, unmistakable sound. | 8 | Yes | |
Python | A loud and deadly revolver. Uses .45 Magnum, and comes loaded with AP ammo. Has an internal cylinder magazine, and must be unloaded before reloading. AP bullets ignore all damage resistance of armor. | 8 | Yes | |
Disposable Ballistic Turret | A yellow toolbox that, when struck, deploys into a sentry turret that targets anyone that is not apart of the syndicate. The turret fires .35 auto at slow pace with near perfect accuracy. | 6 | No | |
Sniper Bundle | A briefcase containing a Hristov, a powerful antimaterial rifle; a box with 10 bullets, a red tie, gloves, and a lawyer suit. The Hristov has an internal magazine of 5 bullets, so you can reload this weapon twice with this bundle. Sadly one of the worst guns you can buy. | 12 | Yes | |
C-20r Bundle | A dufflebag containing a loaded C-20r SMG and two spare magazines. The C-20r is a fast firing .35 auto SMG that automatically ejects spent magazines, reducing overall downtime between reloads. | 17 | Yes | |
Double Bladed Energy Sword | A much more expensive counter part to the normal energy sword: with a much higher reflection chance, larger attack angle, higher structural damage, and faster swing. Makes a lot of noise when used or turned on.
CURRENTLY DISABLED AND UNOBTAINABLE |
20 | No | |
Bulldog Bundle | A dufflebag with a loaded Bulldog shotgun, two .50 pellet drum magazines, and a .50 beanbag magazine. The Bulldog is a powerful, fast firing and fully-automatic magazine fed shotgun. This weapon performs well against most targets and is lethal in close quarters. | 20 | Yes | |
China-lake Bundle | A dufflebag with a China-Lake grenade launcher loaded with 3 frag grenades in the internal magazine. The bag also includes 4 blast grenades and 4 frag grenades. The grenades are exclusively designed to be fired from this weapon, and sport a dangerously large area of effect. Use with caution. | 25 | Yes | |
L6 Saw Bundle | A dufflebag with a loaded L6 SAW and a spare boxmag. The L6 is a fully automatic machinegun that excels at throwing rounds down range. This weapon is very inaccurate, so tougher targets may need to be engaged in close quarters. This weapon may be wielded for slightly better accuracy. | 30 | Yes |

- Since traitors only start with 20 TC, they must
neutralizecollaborate with other agents in order to purchase high-value uplink items, or must be wise with their budget. - Purchase what you need only when you need it. Security can search you and certainly find a weapon or grenade your bag.
- Keep your PDA locked when you don’t need it. You can unlock it by setting the ringtone to the code you are assigned when you first roll traitor.
