| ''You have been chosen to be one of the few, <s>the strong, the Elite A-</s>team of Syndicate Nuclear Operatives. Your mission, whether or not you choose to accept it, will be to destroy Nanotrasen's most advanced research facility! That's right, you are going to Space Station 13.''
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Your Objectives==
| |
| # Retrieve the [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|Nuclear Authentication Disk]] (located on the station).[[File:NuclearDisk.gif|50px]]
| |
| # Use it to activate the Nuclear Fission Explosive (located on the Mothership). [[File:Nuke.gif|50px]]
| |
| # Escape alive on the Syndicate Mothership.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==But First, You Must Learn How to Crawl==
| |
| [[File:Syndie.png|300px|thumb|alt=Syndicate Mothership|The Syndicate Mothership and the Syndicate Base.]]
| |
| Before you do anything, you must properly prepare yourself. There's no need to rush, instead take the time to discuss strategy with your squad mates - a job well planned is half done!
| |
| | |
| '''The checklist is as follows:'''
| |
| # '''Memorize''' the nuclear activation code.
| |
| # '''Plan''' the attack (how to get the nuke disk and arm the nuke).
| |
| # '''Order''' items and arm yourself to the teeth.
| |
| # '''Move''' the Mothership near the station.
| |
| # '''Infiltrate'''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Knowing Your Team===
| |
| All of your fellow agents will have a big red '''S''' by their head. Be very careful when you see this '''S''', as you don't want to kill your fellow agents on accident.
| |
| | |
| There will be a leader. He spawns behind the desk, and is the only one with access to the shutters. If you are the leader but don't feel up to snuff for it, pass along your '''lead agent card''' to someone else.
| |
| | |
| ===Communication===
| |
| You have a special radio frequency, set in an encrypted wavelength. This is how you will, and must communicate with your team. Communicate passwords, safewords, the nuclear code, and attack plans on this channel early, there is no telling who might get the headset later.
| |
| | |
| Making code named strikes with your team can be an effective way to deal with the crew, but it is difficult.
| |
| | |
| Safewords can be said if you see a comrade but both of you are disguised. "Shamalama dingdong!" or something - fast, and easy to say. The phonetic alphabet can also be useful for this, as in Alpha - A, Bravo - B, Charlie - C and so on.
| |
| | |
| Passwords are only useful if you have a door guard in the Mothership, or some one with the Military PDA. Make it as you want, said over the Syndicate frequency.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Memorizing the Code===
| |
| The very first thing you should do is memorize the nuclear code! The team leader will probably tell you the code, but if they don't, it should be on a piece of paper somewhere in the room. Every member of the team must know this code since there is no way to know who will be alive at the end of the mission. This changes every time.
| |
| | |
| Memorizing this is simple: Just type '''Add-Note''' followed by the code in the chat bar (without having '''say''' before it). Now you can see the code whenever you type '''Notes'''.
| |
| | |
| After this, your team should go through a plan of attack.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Planning the Attack===
| |
| '''LISTEN TO YOUR LEADER''' (the guy who spawns inside the tables he is the only one with access to the button to the shutters)! Your team should talk over about their plan of attack, but the leader should have the final say how things are gonna be since he has the power to buy all the good stuff.
| |
| | |
| Different approaching styles:
| |
| * Infiltration by using jetpacks or by teleportation?
| |
| * Split up or stick together?
| |
| * Oldskool-style: Get the disk, return to ship, arm the nuke and drag it to the station.
| |
| * More-risky-style: Haul the nuke first to the station, get the disk and arm it.
| |
| * Stealth-style: Disguise as John Smiths, infiltrate and steal the Nuke Disk quietly.
| |
| * Murderbone-style: Just kill everything that doesn't have a red S over it.
| |
| * Locker-style: Cram your whole team into a locker, have someone in disguise drag the locker to the station, unleash a locker full of syndies when the crew least expects it!
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Ordering Gear as a Team===
| |
| [[File:Telecrystal uploadreceive station.png]] '''Telecrystal Management Consoles:''' These consoles work to allow your team to manage their telecrystals. The Telecrystal Stations accept any item with a Syndicate Uplink (PDA, headset, radio, etc.). Once the Uplink is inserted, they can donate their telecrystals to the group's boss console. It's best to go ahead and donate all of your crystals and wait for your commander to dish them out, or buy '''big stompy mechs!''' | |
| | |
| [[File:Team telecrystal management console.png]] '''Team Telecrystal Management Console''' can then take its telecrystal pool and distribute it among the hooked Uplink Stations. | |
| | |
| It gets an amount of bonus telecrystals based on the round population, allowing nuke op equipment to scale with the increased threat of a fully-manned station.
| |
| | |
| Each operative spawns with a personal Syndicate Uplink radio with 20 Telecrystals pre loaded. STOP! Before you waste your crystals on a balloon, take note of the computer terminals in front of you. Once you insert your Uplink into it these new devices allow for your team leader to assign you additional Telecrystals or for you to donate your own Telecrystals to a common pool for your leader to draw upon. Why would you give away your crystals? Giving your crystals to your team leader will allow him to save up and buy some expensive and powerful goodies, like a [[Syndicate_Items#Dark_Mauler|freaking assault mech]]!
| |
| | |
| Once your team has bought the items essential to your plan you can now selfishly buy what you will need for the mission, however you need to pause and think hard. What [[Syndicate Items]] will you need? Which will cause a huge backlash if used against your team? Now, think what everyone else will likely need. The problem with the agent ID is the access -- you have very little, but an emag, powersink or stolen high-ranking ID will change that in a moment. You do not have an ID or a position at the station, so don't worry about people finding the emagged doors. Everyone on the team should have one. Voice changers are wonderful if you are trying to sneak in, as are chameleon jumpsuits. Bombs are great in the right hands. Energy crossbows make excellent side arms. Energy swords, especially if you make double-bladed eswords, are good for blocking enemy fire. Syndicate borgs are great tanks, and are even more robust if you have a welder, but are at great risk from ion rifle shots.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Don't Let Them Steal Your Gun Damnit===
| |
| '''IMPORTANT NOTICE: <span style="color: red">You must prevent the station crew from looting you!'''</span>
| |
| | |
| If you are captured (handcuffed), but conscious, try to run away.
| |
| | |
| If they are restrained and cannot move, you must hurry and type '''say "*deathgasp"''' (this will normally fake your death), this way you trigger the built-in explosive implant and you go out with a blast!
| |
| | |
| If you fall unconscious, but not critical (e.g. sleeping because of a chemical attack), type '''suicide''' (not say!) and confirm, THEN type '''succumb''' to explode instantly. If you are already in critical, just type '''succumb'''.
| |
| | |
| Dying will cause you to explode, knocking down and damaging people around you. So do not do it next to your teammates, only next to the station crew.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Equipment===
| |
| [[File:Nuke_equipment.jpg|thumb|400px|The fuck is this pic supposed to be?<br>Green & orange: weapons (and tools).<br>Blue & red: tools and miscellaneous shit.<br>Purple: If you don't know what this is, we really hope you're not a Nuke Op right now.]]
| |
| Pick out what you need from the armory closet in the '''Equipment Room''' as well as your Syndicate Uplink. The armory closet contains:
| |
| * Jet Harness filled with oxygen (This fits inside your backpack, so you can wear your backpack inside the station.)
| |
| * Syndicate Mask
| |
| * Tactical Turtleneck
| |
| * Blood-red Hardsuit and Helmet (These fit inside your backpack, you move faster inside the station without the suit on, the helmet does not matter.)
| |
| * Military Belt
| |
| * Crowbar (Absolutely necessary when your team is using a powersink. It fits inside the box too.)
| |
| * High-capacity Power Cell
| |
| * Multitool
| |
| | |
| There's also a '''Tool Storage''', which contains:
| |
| * Unfinished Teleporter Hub
| |
| * Night Vision Goggles
| |
| * Suspicious Looking Toolboxes (You need the screwdriver if you are planting a power sink and the wrench for securing bombs.)
| |
| * Suspicious Beacons (Thesea are large bombs, dont just take them randomly, usually they are used as part of the plan.)
| |
| * Syndicate Minibombs
| |
| * Many other kinds of generic tools like proximity sensors and remote signaling devices
| |
| | |
| You must now equip yourself for space travel so you can invade the station.
| |
| # Get out of your armor and put on the dark red space suit, though you may decide to keep your SWAT helmet on as it is space proof and more protective, but it won't protect you against flashbangs, your choice.
| |
| # Take your backpack off.
| |
| # Place your internals on, using the jet pack as an oxygen tank, and placing the jet pack on your back. # Take the military belt from the locker and move any items you will be taking into it, it will be easier on you if you don't need to carry your backpack onto the station so try and cram everything you can into the belt.
| |
| # Pick out your Syndicate agent card ID's disguise (or wait till you get to the station).
| |
| | |
| Once you are space ready, and your internals are running from your jetpack, look into the Equipment Room and pick up a pair of Nightvision goggles if you have not already bought a pair of thermals, this is double important if you plan on using a Powersink.
| |
| | |
| You are now completely outfitted, check the inside of your backpack/military belt and throw out what you will not use, this will be handy for the next stage of equipping yourself with weapons.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===This is My Rifle===
| |
| A quick and dirty list of the common weapons employed by Syndicate Operatives in the field.
| |
| | |
| *[[File:Stetchkin.png]] Stetchkin Pistol -- '''Free'''. Standard-issue sidearm. 8 Rounds, 25 brute per shot. This is a poor primary weapon to use due to its low ammo count and slow rate of fire but it can be useful in a pinch.
| |
| *[[File:Bulldog.png]] Bulldog Shotgun -- '''Free'''. Standard-issue primary longarm. 8 Shells drum fed, semi-automatic. Three ammo types.
| |
| *[[File:C20r.png]] C20r SMG -- '''14 telecrystals.''' Close Combat SMG. 20 rounds, 20 brute per shot/instant knockdown. Popular among nuke ops
| |
| *[[File:C90gl.png]] C90gl Assault Rifle -- '''18 telecrystals.''' Mid-range combat rifle. 30 rounds, 35 brute per shot. Secondary grenade launcher, aprox 80 brute per grenade.
| |
| *[[File:L6machinegun.png]] L6 SAW -- '''40 telecrystals.''' Light Machinegun. 50 rounds, 60 brute per shot. Powerful, though if you drop it prepare to be royally screwed by that assistant.
| |
| *[[File:Sword.gif]] Energy Sword -- '''8 telecrystals'''. Close combat weapon. 30 brute per hit. When double-bladed, can block taser shots. Best if double-bladed, if used as a sidearm or if you are very robust in melee.
| |
| | |
| In the locker room are three Energy Guns that can make excellent Primary Weapons but they suffer from only have 10 shots before needing a recharge, and you are unlikely to get a chance to recharge them.
| |
| | |
| [[File:pinpointer.gif|50px]]'''Don't forget to take a Pinpointer with you.''' This device, once turned on, will act as a compass directing you straight to your primary target: The nuclear authentication disk. They can be found in the equipment room armory closets. Every member of the team [[Beyond the impossible|should always have one of these on them]].
| |
| | |
| The military PDA is very handy if you want to escape after you set the nuke (and I know you do), make sure you assign the PDA to someone who has the least chance of dying and won't fuck off into space.
| |
| | |
| Now, you have your equipment, tools, and toys. But the trouble is just getting started as you strike the heart of the wild.
| |
| | |
| You are equipped and armed with the best, but what matters is the will to win, and the thirst for blood. Couple that with wisdom, and a large helping of [[Robust|know how]], and you have a chance. But what makes the Syndicate agent successful isn't their red suit, or revolver, it is their team.
| |
| | |
| ==Actually Getting There==
| |
| The Syndicate Mothership is NOT in proximity of the station when the nuke team is first sent out. One of the Nuclear Operatives must use the control computer to move the Mothership into close proximity to the station.
| |
| | |
| One way to get to the station is through teleportation. For this you must complete the half-built teleporter in the Mothership.
| |
| | |
| If you choose to go through space, you must use the blast doors to exit the Mothership. Only a PDA with a detomatrix cartridge can open these doors remotely. The Syndicates start with one PDA that has this, this is a very important item, do not let the enemy get their hands on this.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Dat Fukken Disk===
| |
| [[File:Disk512.gif|right|thumb|192px|GET THIS.]]
| |
| You need this disk, but as it could be guarded by the [[Captain]], [[Head of Security]], [[Clown]], or the [[Head of Personnel]]... you best go in without second thoughts or distractions. Even a lure and false positive to get the disk holder to where you want them will be effective.
| |
| | |
| One method includes blowing up the wall the disk holder has their back to. With a modified Syndicate bomb, you can blast that wall down and seriously wound the disk carrier.
| |
| | |
| Another requires team work, have one agent cause trouble in one spot (some place secure, like the brig), this will cause the disk holder to flee some place else secure. A place you will have your team staking out and ready to strike.
| |
| | |
| The disk's whereabouts can be located using a '''Pinpointer''', assuming you aren't a chucklefuck and remembered to take one with you. Do not destroy the disk, it makes your life harder.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===ACTIVATING THE NUKE!===
| |
| Once you get the disk, you need to rush back to the Mothership, make sure your team knows you got the disk, and to defend the Mothership and throw off anyone chasing you.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Nuke.gif|200px]]<br><br><br>
| |
| There will be the nuke, now follow these guidelines in order:
| |
| # '''Click''' it with your open hand.
| |
| # Place the Nuke '''Disk''' into the slot.
| |
| # Punch in the nuke '''code''', hit enter.
| |
| # Set the '''time'''.
| |
| # Set it to '''Armed'''.
| |
| # ''(Optional)'' Disengage the anchor.
| |
| # ''(Optional)'' Have it timing as you run off with the thing (if you die it will still go off).
| |
| # ''(Optional)'' Place the nuke anywhere you want on the station.
| |
| # ''(Optional)'' Anchor it.
| |
| # Take the Nuke '''Disk''' out.
| |
| # Either guard the disk, space the disk, or something to throw off the crew's pin pointer.
| |
| # Get back to your '''Mothership'''.
| |
| | |
| If any other Nuke Agents are alive, give them a moment to get to the Mothership. Once you and your buddies are loaded in the Mothership, get out of there.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Quick Tips== | |
| * Be careful of falling behind and getting lost in space.
| |
| * If handcuffed: '''*deathgasp''', if unconscious: '''suicide''' and '''succumb''', if in critical condition '''succumb'''.
| |
| * To talk with your team, just talk as if you wanted to talk on the standard radio channel, your headset is different and only your team will hear you.
| |
| * Subvert or destroy the AI first. It can give you away. Syndicate borgs are able to dispose of the AI without it screaming for help over the comms.
| |
| * Genetics being online means your victims can get back up to accuse or simply robust you in revenge. You will never be cloned from the goodness of someone's heart. Take it out.
| |
| * Voice-changers are no good if everyone can see you wearing the gas mask when you shouldn't have one.
| |
| * Make sure the Escape Shuttle can't be called and then you can't technically lose!
| |
| * Always keep in communication with your team. Having backup and knowledge of what's happening from both the Syndicate and loyal station fronts goes a long way towards an easy victory and far outweighs the damage someone who stole a Syndicate headset can do.
| |
| * Installing a power sink on the station is a popular strategy. Make sure you bring night-vision goggles!
| |
| * Taking out telecommunications is a good way to ensure the crew remains confused and disorganized
| |
| * There is a teleporter available in the Syndicate Mothership. Should you spend the 20 telecrystals needed to finish it, it can create an excellent entry point within the station.
| |
| * Ignore the nuke in the vault on the station. It has a completely different code, and without an admin checking the var and giving it to you, it would take you days to guess it.
| |
| * For the love of fuck do not mistake a Science Disk for the Nuke Disk, sciences disks are Yellow and Nuke Disks are Green.
| |
| * Do not buy a mech unless you are absolutely sure you are capable of making it an asset.
| |
| * Use the red button found in your base to instantly blow up all deployed syndicate bombs in the game.
| |
| * If you know that the station has cyborgs, bring a flashbang or ten. Flashbangs are very effective at taking out cyborgs, and you can emag-crowbar-emag the stunned cyborg to subvert it.
| |
| * You can quickly and quietly rob the armory by applying c4 to the wall from space. No loud beeping. No ruckus. C4, grab the guns, get out.
| |
| * If going stealth, screwdriver your syndicate headset and place the encryption key in a standard headset from the station so you can communicate with your team without wearing a dead giveaway.
| |
| | |
| ==Mission Debriefing==
| |
| * If the Escape Shuttle leaves with the Disk on board, the crew wins a Major Victory.
| |
| * If the Escape Shuttle leaves with the Disk still anywhere on the station, the Syndicates win a Minor Victory.
| |
| * If the Nuke detonates in the station successfully and the Syndicate Mothership escapes, the Syndicates wins a Major Victory.
| |
| * If the Nuke detonates in the station successfully but no Syndicates manage to escape, no-one wins.
| |
| * If the Nuke detonates, but not on the Station's z-level, the crew wins a Minor Victory.
| |
| | |

|
| | ==='''Important Warnings'''=== |
| | We'll get more in depth with these things later in the guide, but here is a simple list of what to do, and what not to do. <br> |
| | <br> |
| | '''DO:''' <br> |
| | * Ask questions if you are unsure. <br> |
| | * Read this guide fully. <br> |
| | * Equip your internals and suit before you leave. <br> |
| | * Try not to die. (''Hah.'') <br> |
| | * Communicate and keep active on the radio. <br> |
| | * Backup your team. <br> |
| | * Obey your leader. <br> |
| | * Stick to the plan. <br> |
| | * <s>Pray for clown masks.</s> <br> |
| | * Activate your explosive implant if captured, to stop the crew using your items against your team. <br> |
| | * '''FOLLOW YOUR DAMN PINPOINTER!''' <br> |
| | * '''Get dat fukken disc!'''<br> |
| | <br> |
| | '''DON'T:''' <br> |
| | * Kill your comrades. (Free express ticket to '''Banville''', Population: You.) <br> |
| | * Subvert the AI and then place a powersink. <br> |
| | * Think you're invincible because you have shiny red armour. <br> |
| | * Jump out of the Syndicate Shuttle while it's in transit. <br> |
| | * Place a live syndi bomb on the Syndicate Shuttle. <br> |
| | * Prime a mini bomb and forget to throw it. <br> |
| | * Go undercover and wear your syndie headset. <br> |
| | * Run at the [[Captain]] and beg for the disc. <br> |
| | * Spend all the TC on balloons. <br> |
| | * Spend all the TC on soap. <br> |
| | * Drop your gun in front of an assistant. <br> |
| | * Space the nuke <br> |
| | * Hide the nuke disc from your team. <br> |
| | * Create a breach without a space suit. <br> |
| | * Forget to stand back from a syndi bomb. <br> |
| | * Set the nuke on the Syndicate Shuttle. <br> |
| | * '''LEAVE THE DISC IN THE NUKE!''' (Bad memories. '''Bad memories'''.) <br> |
|

| | === Tools and Weapons === |
| | //To do when I can be bothered - Blukey <br> |
| | For a full list of items, please see [[Syndicate Items]]. <br> |
| | === What does this button do? === |
| | [[File:NuclearDisk.gif]] <br> |
| | You see that thing? Yes, the ''green'' disc. You want that. You '''need''' that to complete your mission and make the station go boom. <s>Pretty green and shiny...</s> So, it's going to be easy, right? '''WRONG!''' <br> |
| | <br> |
| | Well, maybe, if you have the skills required, but you probably don't, since you're reading this guide. <br> |
| | Turn to the other Nuclear Operatives, and ask the leader for the plan. Usually, they will say something about donating your telecrystals. The radio you start with is actually a Syndicate Uplink, place that in the machine in front of you, and donate all of your telecrystals using the buttons. Leave the uplinks in the machine, and wait until they either redistributes them, or do something else. With this step done, ask the leader your plan, and buy gear accordingly. If you have spawned as the leader, ask if there is anyone who is experienced, and swap uplinks.<br> |
| | Discuss your individual roles with the leader. Ask if you will split up or stay in a large group. Splitting up allows you to tackle multiple areas simultaneously, increasing your chance of getting the disk holder, and in the event that you are defeated, the other members can continue. Staying together increases your safety, allowing you to tackle most threats far easier than one or two operatives would be able to. There are many different tactics, to name a few: |
|
| |
|
| | [[File:nukeopstart.png|right|thumb|400px|You should start here.]] |
| | It's now time to spend your TC wisely, as you have a limited amount, and if you don't spend carefully, you can find yourself down Assistant Creek without a toolbox. Or you could buy an emag, plant a powersink, space your emag when you find out it doesn't work, and spend the rest on C4. (Don't do that.) You come equipped with an agent card, which can be customised with any name and job that you wish. My personal favourite is DISKMCGET, PROFESSIONAL DISKGETTER. If you prefer the more stealthy route, swiping an agent card against another ID card will scan and copy the access. Be warned though, the AI will not be able to track you on its cameras. The various guns serve their different purposes, and you start with a Stetchkin Pistol. A double e-sword, created by combining two e-swords is extremely versatile, and can reflect taser and laser shots, if you choose this, be sure to cover your team and take the lead. The power sink is an effective tool, draining power from the entire station, turning a crowbar into an all-access ID card. |
