===Utility Subsystems===

Utility Subsystems ~~are helpful, consumable “files” that have been left inside~~ the ~~system. You can click one once it has been exposed to add it to a utility slot at the bottom middle of your hacking window~~. ~~They can then be used by clicking the appropriate utility slot. You can only store three Utility Subsystems at a time, so plan ahead!~~

'''Utility Subsystems assist you in disabling the System Core and Defensive Subsystems.'''

Utility ~~Subsystems are extremely useful and come~~ in ~~a few different types~~.

When you click the Utility Subsystem it will be added to a free utility slot.

Activate the Utility Subsystem by clicking on it in your utility belt. The number of utility belt slots depends on your hacking module.

|[[File:Self_repair2.png]]

|'''Self Repair''' ~~utilities increase~~ your Virus Coherence by a ~~variable~~ amount. ~~A single Self Repair has three “charges”: the first is consumed~~ immediately ~~after use, and the next two are automatically used after~~ your ~~next two actions in the system (i.e., exploring~~ a ~~node, attacking a subsystem). Always use a Self Repair as soon as you find it - there is no gain in waiting~~.

|'''Self Repair''' increases your Virus Coherence by a small amount each turn for the next three turns. Use it immediately as your Virus doesn't have a maximum Coherence value.

|'''Kernel Rot''' ~~utilities~~ reduces a ~~target subsystem’s~~ Coherence by 50%. ~~Great for use~~ on ~~the System Core. Useful too on defensive subsystems with~~ high Coherence.

|'''Kernel Rot''' reduces a System’s Coherence by 50%. Use it on high Coherence Systems.

|[[File:Polymorphic_shield.png]]

|'''Polymorphic Shield''' ~~utilities prevent~~ the next two ~~instances of damage done to~~ your ~~virus~~. ~~Good for taking down subsystems with~~ high Strength.

|'''Polymorphic Shield''' nullifies the next two System attacks against your Virus. Use it before attacking high Strength Systems.

|[[File:Secondary_vector2.png]]

|'''Secondary Vector''' ~~utilities~~ reduces a ~~target’s~~ Coherence by 20 ~~after~~ each ~~action taken~~. ~~Much like the Self Repair utility, the Secondary Vector has three charges: one used immediately, and two more that fire off after taking actions~~.

|'''Secondary Vector''' reduces a System’s Coherence by 20 each turn for three turns. Use it against a Suppressor Defensive Subsystem.
