This Quickhack costs little RAM, so you're generally limited only by its cooltime. Depending on your Perks and Intelligence stat, this quickhack can defeat most enemies in one blow. Combining this with Synapse Burnout will be good, too. Its Legendary variant's passive is situational but helpful in taking down enemies hit by crits.

Uncommon ・Jams a target's weapon, rendering it temporarily unusable. ・Causes the target's weapon to malfunction, reducing its accuracy and disabling Smart-tracing and obstacle-penetration. Rare ・Spreads to the nearest enemy within 8 meters. Epic ・Causes the target's weapon to explode, causing damage. Legendary ・Passive While Equipped: Unlocks the Weapons Jammer daemon for use in Breach Protocol. |
Like Cyberpsychosis, it can be used on powerful single enemies, but in general, you're better off spending time taking the enemy out than glitching them. The Weapons Jammer daemon that comes with its Legendary variant, however, can be useful if youre more of the combat hacker type and ignore stealth. Hack away and go to town while the enemies can't shoot you back.
