====== Daemons ======
> //The daemons are just doing their jobs. Try not to disturb them.// \\ ---[[:Incognita]]

**Daemons** are [[:security measures]] with harmful effects. Daemons can be installed on [[:mainframe devices:]], so that the daemon's effect is triggered when all [[:firewalls]] on the device are broken. Daemons can also be triggered by the programs [[:programs:Faust]] and [[:programs:Fool]], walking through an [[:mainframe devices:emitters#Infrared Emitter]], using the [[:weapons:Overclocked Neural DART]], or by [[#scripted events]] in some [[:missions:]].

===== Daemons on mainframe devices =====
[{{ mainframe_daemon.png?150|A daemon is installed on this device.}}]

The following daemons can be installed randomly on some [[:mainframe devices:]]. Daemons are never initially installed on mainframe devices at [[:mission difficulty#mission difficulty 1]], but always appear on some devices at [[:mission difficulty#mission difficulty 2]] or higher, excluding [[:mainframe devices:Security Cameras]]. Daemons can also be installed on devices (including cameras) during a mission by triggering [[Fractal]] or [[Fractal 2.0]], accessing the [[:mainframe devices:Primary Server Terminal]] in a [[:missions:Server Farm]] mission, or [[:KO|knocking out]] a [[:guards:Modded]] guard.

If a device has a daemon installed, it will appear in the [[:Incognita]] view with a dark red textured border. The name of the daemon installed on the device can be revealed by hacking a [[:mainframe devices:Daemon Database]], or by using [[:agents:Decker]]'s [[:augments:Neural Networking]] ability, a [[:items:Scan Chip]], or the program [[:programs:Daemon Sniffer]].

Daemons triggered by all causes other than [[#scripted events]] are also chosen randomly from this list. The daemons [[Authority]], [[Felix]] and [[Mask]] are never installed on devices in the [[:missions:OMNI Mainframe]] mission.

===== Scripted events =====

The following daemons are triggered by scripted events in the [[:missions:OMNI Mainframe]] mission.

===== Archdaemons =====

From [[:mission difficulty#completely guarded|mission difficulty 5]] onwards in [[:modes:Endless]] mode, a random **archdaemon** will be triggered at the start of each mission. Archdaemons are never [[#Daemon reversal|reversed]].

===== Daemon reversal =====
> //Finally, our luck is turning about. Now press the advantage!// \\ ---[[:agents:Central]]

When a daemon is triggered by any cause other than a [[#Scripted events|scripted event]] or the [[:weapons:Overclocked Neural DART]], it has a chance of being **reversed**. When a daemon is reversed, a random [[:algorithm]] is triggered instead of the daemon.

The base probability of daemon reversal is 10%; the program [[:programs:Brimstone]] has a passive effect which adds another 10% to this probability, and [[:programs:Ritual]] has a passive effect adding another 5% to the probability. Even when a daemon is reversed, the bonus from [[:agents:Central]]'s [[:augments:Antiviral Proxy]] augment is still applied.
