Hardware Store_

Hardware is the quickest way to become stronger: every component adds power, and power is what decides whether your attacks succeed.

Buying components

The Hardware Store is divided into categories: motherboards, CPUs, graphics cards, RAM, disks, monitors, keyboards and more. Open a category to see what is on sale.

The Hardware Store with the motherboards category open, showing power, price, minimum level and limit of each item
Each component shows its power, its price, the minimum level to buy it and how many you can own.

For every component you see:

  • Power: how much it adds to your attack power.
  • Price: how much it costs.
  • Minimum level: the level you need to buy it.
  • Limit: how many pieces of that type you can own.

Pick the quantity and click Buy.

Your setup

Everything you own appears in the HW Setup panel, with the power of each piece.

Watch out: if you end up in jail all your hardware is confiscated. Keep your felony under control.
