Summary[]


Freeze all neighbor nodes for a short time. Disabling security nodes buys you extra time to remove them.

The Shocker is a Brute Force Offensive Program which stuns all connected, uncaptured nodes for a period of time equal to the "Freeze Time" statistic. This can give a player time to safely install longer programs such as Protector or Blaster. Security Nodes are also unable to retaliate while stunned. Firewall regeneration of all affected nodes is prevented throughout the duration.

The Shocker will remove itself immediately after it has stunned the connected nodes, freeing up the slot for an additional program.

On this video you can see the basics of how the Shocker program can be used to take down a network.

  • Notes: While the Shocker is technically allowed to upgrade at the Evolver levels displayed, the Capacity of B-coins that can be held at those levels may not be sufficient to purchase the upgrade.

Tips[]

  • Shocker can prevent firewall regeneration on nodes which take a long time to capture, such as Code Gates, Black ICE, or the Core.
  • Shocker is not fast enough to prevent a Sentry from sending the first antivirus pulse when the brute force attack begins, but it can prevent nodes from spreading additional antivirus while they are stunned. It does not prevent nodes from receiving antivirus while they are stunned.
  • Shocker will not prevent AIs from attacking or repairing others nodes, but can still be used to prevent an antivirus spreading through a network or attacking captured nodes.
