Multitool (DX)



Multitools are a electronic device that allows the user to manipulate electronic locks, security cameras, autogun turrets, alarms and other types of electronic security to their advantage. A multitool's resources are finite, and when a tool is depleted it becomes useless. You may carry a maximum of 20 of them.

Multitools work with security system elements in a number of ways:
 * Acoustic sensor - disable it.
 * Alarm sounder panel - let you disable the alarm just by using the panel (the enemies can still trigger it!).
 * Autonomous defense turret - turn it to the "Ignore all" state.
 * Electronic control panel - disable whatever it was linked to, usually laser triggers.
 * Keypad - let you open the door without knowing the code.
 * Retinal scanner - let you open the door without clearance.
 * Surveillance camera - disable it.

A multitool cannot be used for computer information extraction, that falls in to the realm of Computers.

In-game Description
A disposable electronics tool. By using electromagnetic resonance detection and frequency modulation to dynamically alter the flow of current through a circuit, skilled agents can use the multitool to manipulate code locks, cameras, autogun turrets, alarms, or other security systems.

Section 3C: Multitools

A "multitool" is not really a tool at all - not in the usual sense of the word - but a disposable electronic device that utilizes electromagnetic resonance detection and frequency modulation to dynamically alter the flow of current through almost any non-hardened circuitry. Skilled agents can use the multitool to manipulate code locks, cameras, autogun turrets, alarms, or other security elements.

Note that multitools CANNOT be used for computer information extraction (see Section 5A: Hacking).

Skill
At higher skill levels, hacking a device takes less time and multitool resources.
 * At untrained: one multitool can hack devices up to 10%.
 * At trained: one multitool can hack devices up to 25%
 * At advanced: one multitool can hack devices up to 40%
 * At master: one multitool can hack devices up to 75%
