A guide on everything SyncDisk. From the abilities they give to how to find them.
What are SyncDisks
SyncDisks are a consumable in Shadows of Doubt that give permanent upgrades to your characters.
How to Acquire, Use, and Upgrade SyncDisks
Acquire
You can find SyncDisks in high income safes and also randomly in the world. SyncDisks are also uncommon rewards for side jobs. Sync Clinic staff will randomly sell one SyncDisk. The Sugar Daddy Sync Disk is unique in that it can be purchased from any Kola machine for ¢r5.
Use
SyncDisks can be installed at a Sync Clinic. Clinics can be found on the map with a DNA icon or in the detective log. You can have up to eighteen SyncDisks installed, one of each type. You can only select one upgrade tree for each disk. You can install a second SyncDisk of the same type to choose a different tree, but this will uninstall and removed all upgrades for the previous type.
Upgrade
To upgrade SyncDisks you need Sync Disk Upgrade Vials. These can be found fairly commonly in businesses and homes. Upgrade Vials can purchased from medical vending machines for ¢r1000.
