Priorities
- Reaction drives everything you jump into. Buy it first.
- Logic covers building, fixing, and repairing what you break.
- Budget for the control rig, without it you are a driver, not a rigger.
Play tips
- Send a drone through the door before a person goes through it.
- Jumped in, your body is unattended. Somebody should be watching it.
- Overwatch is a contribution. Call what you see, early and often.
