The Hacking Tool is a tool in Streets of Rogue which allows the user to remotely hack many objects. Unlike the Laptop, there is a 100% for the Hack to be silent. Most options for Hacking can't be used unless the trait Tech Expert is present on the Character.
Tips and Tricks[ | ]
- This item can be very useful for character who initially start with Tech Expert, such as the Scientist and the Demolitionist.
- It's useful for the Hacker as well. Despite the Laptop having infinite uses, it has a 50% chance to cause an alarm when hacking. Unlike the Laptop, the Hacking tool doesn't have a chance to cause any alarms when hacking, until the Special Ability Foolproof Hacks for the Laptop has been obtained.
- Even for characters without Tech Expert, this item has many uses. It can unlock safes, hack Sell-O-Matics (increase selling price), Goodie Dispensers and Ammo Dispensers (reduce cost), and Clone Machines (random clone).
- Do not use the Hacking Tool on a Cloning Machine with the Antisocial trait, or the hacking tool will be consumed without effect, telling the player "I can't handle having any more people" even if the player has no followers.
