-Net Downlink is considered to be one of the best augments in the game. It is not the only augment that can give a bonus of up to +6\ AP per turn, but its bonus can be triggered much more often than other augments --- it is usually more common to hack multiple devices per turn, than it is to make melee attacks (for [[Predictive Brawling]]'s bonus) or to cloak (for [[Chameleon Movement]]'s bonus).+Net Downlink is considered to be one of the best augments in the game.

 When playing with Net Downlink, it is often a good idea to hack a device for no other reason than to get the AP bonus --- and even to [[:strategy:exploration|explore]] more of the facility so you have more opportunities to use Net Downlink. For example, you can hack [[:mainframe devices:Sound Bugs]] even if you have no intention of making noise near them; or [[:peeking|peek]] through a [[:doors#Vault Door]] even if you don't have a [[:items:Vault Access Card]], simply so you can hack a device behind it. When playing with Net Downlink, it is often a good idea to hack a device for no other reason than to get the AP bonus --- and even to [[:strategy:exploration|explore]] more of the facility so you have more opportunities to use Net Downlink.
