Syndicate Uplink

To help them achieve their objectives, some antagonists including traitors and nuclear operatives have access to an uplink from which they can purchase all sorts of illegal goodies from The Syndicate. For traitors, the uplink is accessible through their PDA. Some items are only available when playing certain jobs.

Strategy

• Buying from the uplink makes an audible "cha-ching" sound that give away your cover. Make purchases somewhere discreet where you won't be seen or heard.
• Since traitors only start with 20 TC, they must neutralize collaborate with other agents in order to purchase high-value uplink items.
• Purchase what you need only when you need it. Security cannot discover your uplink, but they can certainly find a weapon in or grenade your bag.
