| The **Prototype Chip** is a special [[:items:|item]] which can be found only in [[:missions:Security Dispatch]] missions. It can be charged at [[:Consoles]] to store [[:PWR]], which can then be used to manually break [[:firewalls]] on [[:mainframe devices:]]. The Prototype Chip can be sold for 350 [[:credits]]. | The **Prototype Chip** is a special [[:item]] which can be found only in [[:missions:Security Dispatch]] missions.

| Once charged, the Prototype chip can be used like a [[:items:Buster Chip]] to manually break [[:firewalls]], at a cost of 1 PWR per firewall. To do this, the agent carrying it must be adjacent to the [[:mainframe devices:|mainframe device]] you want to hack. The Prototype Chip will either break all firewalls on the device, or otherwise use all of its stored PWR to break that number of firewalls. The player cannot control the exact number of firewalls broken. | Once charged, the Prototype chip can be used like a [[:items:Buster Chip]] to manually break [[:firewalls]], at a cost of 1 PWR per firewall.

| Note that the Prototype Chip's tooltip text says it //"breaks X firewalls"// where X is the amount of PWR stored, which may be misleading if the device's firewalls are lower than X. | Note that the Prototype Chip's tooltip text says it //"breaks X firewalls"// where X is the amount of PWR stored, which may be misleading if the device's firewalls are lower than X. |
