| **Sound Bugs** are [[:mainframe devices]] found in [[:corporations:Sankaku]] [[:missions]] of [[:mission_difficulty|difficulty]] 2 and higher. They can also be found in some [[:missions:Vault]] [[:facility#objective rooms]]. They allow the corporation to hear any sound that an [[:agent]] or human [[:guard]] would on that tile, triggering an alarm response when any unrecognized [[:noise|sound]] occurs. | **Sound Bugs** are [[:mainframe devices]] found in [[:corporations:Sankaku]] [[:missions]] of [[:mission_difficulty|difficulty]] 2 and higher.

| Sound Bugs are much more punishing than [[:mainframe_devices:Security Cameras]] - one sound can [[:guard_behaviour#alerted|alert]] the entire facility under the wrong circumstances. [[:Sprinting]] should be avoided in [[:corporations:Sankaku]] [[:missions]] of [[:mission_difficulty|difficulty]] 2 and higher unless you are **sure** there are no [[:firewalls|unhacked]] sound bugs that can hear you. This can limit your options for [[:guard_behaviour#interest point|distracting]] human [[:guards]], so plan accordingly. | Sound Bugs are much more punishing than [[:mainframe_devices:Security Cameras]] - one sound can [[:guard_behaviour#alerted|alert]] the entire facility under the wrong circumstances.

| The presence of Sound Bugs also makes [[:lethal_damage|killing]] [[:mainframe_devices:Security Cameras]] or [[:guards]] using [[:firewalls|hacked]] [[:guards#drones]] a dangerous and often costly move on these missions, since [[:guards#drones]] make [[:noise]] in a range of 8 tiles when doing so. | The presence of Sound Bugs also makes [[:lethal_damage|killing]] [[:mainframe_devices:Security Cameras]] or [[:guards]] using [[:firewalls|hacked]] [[:guards#drones]] a dangerous and often costly move on these missions, since [[:guards#drones]] make [[:noise]] in a range of 8 tiles when doing so. |
