====== Abacus ====== [{{ abacus.png|Abacus program icon}}] **Abacus** is a passive [[generator|generator program]] which generates +4 [[:PWR]] at the start of each mission. It can be bought from some [[:mainframe devices:Server Terminals]] for 400 [[:credits]]. It has no other effect for the remainder of the mission. ===== Abacus 2.0 ===== [{{ abacus_2.png|Abacus 2.0 program icon}}] **Abacus 2.0** is an upgraded version of Abacus which generates +6 [[:PWR]] at the start of each mission. It can be bought from some [[:mainframe devices:Server Terminals]] for 550 [[:credits]]. It is possible to have both Abacus and Abacus 2.0 installed at the same time, in separate [[:Incognita]] program slots, to generate a total of +10 [[:PWR]] at the start of each mission. ===== Strategy ===== Abacus and Abacus 2.0 are considered by many players to be almost worthless. This is because they generate so little [[:PWR]] per mission compared to other generator programs, and because using one of [[:Incognita]]'s program slots for Abacus or Abacus 2.0 means one fewer slot is available for other programs. When playing with 0 starting PWR as a [[:modes:custom]] difficulty setting, it is possible that Abacus or Abacus 2.0 might be useful in order to start generating PWR using [[Fusion]], or [[:agents:Prism]]'s [[:augments:Refraction Chamber]] augment. However, there are usually better options.
