Missions
Missions are your to-do list. They teach the game, pay in Bits and reputation, and the first ones walk you from your first hack to your first upgrades. Open them on the MISSION page: tabs for Active, Available, Completed and Failed.
Starting and Tracking
In Available, press Start Mission. It moves to Active, where each card shows your progress. Rewards are paid the moment you meet the requirement, no need to come back and claim.
Locked Missions
Missions you cannot start yet sit at the bottom of Available, greyed out, with the reason: a level you have not reached, or a mission you have not finished.
Kinds of Mission
- Hack: break into a host, or into a number of different hosts.
- Network Discovery: hack a specific set of IPs, shown red in the text so you can click them straight in.
- Collect: gather a number of Bits from miners.
- Cleanup: delete a number of log lines.
- File jobs: download or plant a named file. See Files & Databases.
- Database: change a value in a host's database.
- Hunt: one target, three steps: claim its miner, hack it, clean your traces.
Chains and Dailies
- Some missions unlock the next: finish one and another opens.
- Three daily missions (hacks, Bits, log cleaning) reset on a timer and are a steady income. The card shows the cooldown.
- The early ones are a guided tutorial: do them in order and you learn the whole loop.
TIP
Lore fragments drop on their own from hacks, not from missions. Read them in LORE. See Lore & Story.
