It raises the [[:firewalls]] on 10 random devices by 3 each, at the start of the mission. It is possible for the same device's firewalls to be raised more than once.

 Castle is somewhat weaker than [[Rubiks]] since it only affects one device. Like Rubiks, it can be mitigated by hacking other devices first; on the other hand, triggering Castle early in a mission is often fine because of the chance it hits a device you don't need to hack. Even if Castle does hit a device you need to hack, you should be fine as long as you have an efficient way break high firewalls such as [[:programs:Hammer]], [[:programs:Parasite#Parasite 2.0]] or high-tier [[:items:Buster Chips]]. Castle is somewhat weaker than [[Rubiks]] since it only affects one device.

-As Castle 2.0 raises firewalls on 10 devices, is more likely to hit critical devices. To prepare for Castle 2.0, you will want at least one efficient high-firewall [[:programs:#breakers|breaker]], high-tier Buster Chips. You can use [[:items:Cloaking Rigs]] to get past high-firewall cameras without hacking, or [[:programs:Oracle]] to hack them efficiently. You can break firewalls on [[:magnetic reinforcements|magnetically reinforced]] devices using [[:items:EMP Packs]], or with [[:agents:Dr. Xu]]'s [[:augments:Subdermal Tools]] and a [[:items:Stim#Stim IV]]. If you don't have much good equipment, save it for the most important devices, especially the non-optional [[:mainframe devices:Redundant Power Relay]].+As Castle 2.0 raises firewalls on 10 devices, is more likely to hit critical devices.
