A favourite of script kiddies and low-level corporate sysadmins, the Buster Chip automatically breaks down firewalls.
Buster Chips are items which can be used to break firewalls on mainframe devices, when the agent is standing on a tile adjacent to the device. There are four “tiers” of Buster Chip; each type of Buster Chip has an Anarchy skill level requirement for the agent to use them.
