Much Better Netrunning

Much Better Netrunning

Ground-up rebuild of Better Netrunning by finley243. The original had the right idea (quickhacks shouldn't be free) but was built on unfinished CDPR framework code that left many features broken. MBN keeps that philosophy and rebuilds the systems underneath.

Quickhacks are locked by default. Breach an access point, and only the daemons you upload during the minigame unlock their corresponding subnet on that network.

Additionally, all new features: a Cold War system where enemy netrunners fight back, Boss ICE with rotating protocols, skill-based quickhack range, and optional progression gates.

⬡ Features ⬡

Core Breach System

Quickhacks are gated behind a network breach. Each network has three subnets. The daemons you upload during the minigame unlock the matching subnet. Find any breach point below and interact with it to start the minigame.

Network Subnets

• []Root Network — Basic devices: screens, radios, doors, interactables.[/]

  []Personnel — NPCs and mechanical targets (robots, drones, mechs).[/]

  []Surveillance — Camera feeds and turret monitoring.[/]

  Breach Points

  • []Access Points — Wall panels, antennas, server racks. All subnets.[/]

    []Backdoors — Vending machines, forklifts, computers, other hackable objects. Root + Surveillance.[/]

    []Unconscious Enemies — Knock someone out and breach them directly. Root + Personnel. Don't kill them — their cyberware disconnects from the network on death.[/]

    []Unconscious Netrunners — Deeper network access. All subnets.[/]

    []Grapple Breach — With the Shadow Runner perk, breach enemies mid-grapple without knocking them out first. Same daemon availability as unconscious breach.[/]
