| Perk | Attr. Level | Effect at Lv. 1 | Rating & Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
 Master Ram Liberator |
Level 20 in Quickhacking | Increases RAM recovery rate by 50%. +1% per Perk level. |
This will make managing RAM a thing of the past. The increased recovery rate makes your already good RAM recovery perks even better! |
 Biosynergy |
3 | Allows RAM to recover during combat. Recover 4 RAM unit(s) every 60 sec. |
A must have in almost any build that uses Quickhacks. It is the most reliable and consistent way of recovering RAM during combat. |
 Bloodware |
3 | Quickhacks deal 10% more damage. |
Quickhacks dealing more damage is always good in any Netrunner build. |
 Forget-Me-Not |
5 | Eliminating a target affected by a quickhack instantly recovers 1 RAM unit(s). |
1 Ram does not seem a lot by itself, but adds up if using Quickhacks with longer duration and spreads. This can help you get the one more RAM a bit more quicker. |
 I Spy |
5 | Reveals an enemy netrunner when they're attempting to hack you. |
Enemy Netrunners are highlighted momentarily orange if already tagged with your optics or through other Quickhacks. Looking for the enemy Netrunner is not difficult without this perk. |
 Hacker's Manual |
5 | Unlocks Crafting Specs for Uncommon quickhacks. |
Uncommon Quickhacks can be bought at Netrunner shops and Ripperdocs, making this perk not as relevant. Can be a cheap way of obtaining Quickhacks if you have the components. |
 Weak Link |
7 | Reduces the required cyberdeck RAM for quickhacks used on devices by 1 unit(s). |
Cheapens the device Quickhacks, saving you RAM for Quickhacks on enemies. |
 Daisy Chain |
7 | Eliminating a target affected by a quickhack reduces the existing cooldowns for all other active quickhacks by 10%. |
This can significantly reduce the cooldown of the more powerful Quickhacks like Suicide. Synergizes well with Quickhacks that spread, making your Quickhacks go off cooldown even faster. |
 Signal Support |
9 | Increases quickhack duration by 25%. |
The increased duration is nice for the support type Quickhacks. Synergizes with Daisy Chain well. |
 Subliminal Message |
11 | Quickhacks deal 50% more damage to unaware targets. |
Increases the damage two fold if used stealthily. More reliable damage is always worth it. |
 Diffusion |
12 | Quickhack spread distance is increased by 2 times. |
Makes the Quickhacks like Contagion even more consistent by making sure it ends up spreading to an enemy. Works well with a lot of high tier Quickhacks. |
 Mnemonic |
12 | Reduces the cost of quickhacks used against an enemy already affected by a quickhack by 2 RAM units. |
Pairs well with support Quickhacks that have long duration and spreads to other enemies. Giving you a discount on multiple enemies. |
 School of Hard Hacks |
12 | Unlocks Crafting Specs for Rare quickhacks. |
You will need this to upgrade your Quickhacks to rare for it to get to Epic then Legendary. |
 Plague |
14 | Quickhacks that spread can jump to 1 additional targets. |
You will need this to upgrade your Quickhacks to rare for it to get to Epic then Legendary. |
 Critical Error |
16 | Quickhacks can now deal Crit Hits based on your Crit Chance and Crit Damage stats. |
Requires you to have some Crit chance and Damage stats to get value. Can greatly increase your DPS in the right build. |
 Hacker Overlord |
16 | Unlocks Crafting Specs for Epic quickhacks, including Whistle. |
This is necessary in order to get Epic Quickhacks, which is needed to get Legendary Quickhacks. |
 Anamnesis |
18 | Available cyberdeck RAM cannot drop below 2 unit(s). |
It does not actually work the way it is described. It will regen you 2/3/4 RAM when you reach 0 RAM and there is no RAM recovery active. This effect is very weak and requires you to not have any RAM recovery or to spend an exact amount for this perk to work consistently. |
 Optimization |
20 | Reduces the cost of quickhacks by 1 RAM unit(s). |
Decreases the cost of the Quickhacks by 1, not big but can stack with other RAM reduction. |
