Update 0.53 Patch Notes - 18 April 2018 These changes should be live right now! There is a Dev Vlog about it on Youtube!

Reputation & File Lockers

Reputation is the currency of the GRID. Without it you're nobody. You need it to get access to new software, create proxies and heal brain damage; it's also good for bragging rights too. You can gain Rep by taking over networks, completing objectives and releasing files you've liberated to the public. You can find files in File Lockers. Each one must be broken open revealing the vulnerable file; you can now download a copy of the file to your local system. Be on your toes though as the network security don't take kindly to strangers downloading things without permission - you'll have to defend yourself. Downloaded files can be found in your File Manager after a Run where they can be uploaded and cashed in for Reputation.
