Syndicate Uplink

From Space Station 14 Wiki

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.

Syndicate gear effectiveness

This video shows multiple types of armor and how effective they are.

This video shows the different weaponry and other things the syndicate uplink holds.

This video shows mutliple job specific items that are available for traitors with that specific job.

Strategy

  • Buying from the uplink makes a "cha-ching" sound. Contrary to belief, this sound is not audible to nearby players.
  • Since traitors only start with 20 TC, they must neutralize collaborate 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.
  • Spend all your TC on a surplus box only to receive syndicate stamps

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 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. 8 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. 20 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

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.
