Anonymous almost 5 yearsI just started the side quest in which you're gifted the ping quickhack via a vendor at the Dew Drop Inn. While ping costs the player nothing there are also additional optional quickhacks available to purchase. Provided you have the funds, of course. All are $1500 each and of the uncommon variety: Contagion, cripple movement, cyberware malfunction, overheat, reboot optics, request backup, short circuit, sonic shock, and whistle are my available options. Hope this helps!
