| | ===== Strategy ===== |
| | |
| | Echo is a relatively weak daemon; if it recaptures an important device like a [[:mainframe devices:Security Camera]] in a room you need to go through, then all you need to do is hack that device again. On the other hand, Echo often recaptures a device you don't need to hack: |
| | |
| | * Echo sometimes recaptures a [[:mainframe devices:Security Camera]] or [[:mainframe devices:Sound Bug]] in a room you don't need to go through or return to, or a [[:mainframe devices:Power Supply]] connected to something you don't need to get past again. |
| | * If it recaptures a [[:mainframe devices:Corporate Safe]] or similar, then you can still loot the device while it is rebooting. |
| | * If it recaptures a [[:mainframe devices:Database]] then you typically don't need to hack it again to get the same information; either the information remains revealed, or you can remember it. |
| | |
| | When Echo is triggered by hacking a device, that device itself may be the one recaptured by Echo. |
