Revision as of 20:56, 20 July 2024
Antagonistic Gear
All gear under this heading can be ordered by anyone with an uplink, provided they know how to unlock and use it and there are enough telecrystals. Items with a green background are safe to carry/wear, yellow are items that are illegal but don't look illegal at first glance (disguised, identical to a legal item, etc.), orange items are legal in some circumstances, but highly suspicious (maybe they're only available to very specific professions, or in very specific situations); and red backgrounds are outright contraband.
When the name of the item (in-game) is different from the name of the item in the Uplink interface, the in-game name is below the uplink name in each entry.
Ammunition
All items under this heading are ammo for weapons and firearms. Obviously these are all useless on their own and without a firearm.
In this section, if the gun name is in bold, it is obtainable via the Uplink as a separate item. Some of the ammunition in this section fits guns that come in the gear crates instead.

Exosuits
Exosuit droppers look like they’re just binoculars; but the jig is up if you use them to paint a target and a combat mech comes crashing through the roof. Use with caution. Mechs must be summoned outdoors, unless the safeties are disengaged.

Highly Visible and Dangerous Weapons
When you need to go loud, and are ready for Security to come down hard on you.
Ammunition in bold can be purchased from the Uplink.
To fire a gun (in general; specific guns may vary):
- Hold the gun in your hand.
- If necessary/desired, stabilize the gun in both hands by clicking on the gun while it's in your active hand.
- Take off the safety with ctrl + click. If you are in Harm mode, you will automatically take off the safety when you fire.
- To select the firing mode, use the "Toggle firing mode" option (just to the left of your Walk/Run icon on the bottom toolbar). Some guns only have one firing mode, and the toggle option will unload them instead.
- Click on your target to fire.
- Some guns have Unique Action options. The Unique Action option is located just below the firing mode option.
- To unload a gun, click on the gun with your empty hand active.
- To threaten someone with a gun, toggle your gun mode (right-hand toolbar) from "Fire" to "Auto", and set the action(s) you want to trigger your character to fire the gun (movement, item use, radio use).
