Utility Protocols

Understand Utility Protocols in 'No I'm not a Human'. Learn how Lockpick Simulation and other active abilities aid in environmental interactions and survival.

Utility Protocols are active abilities that provide tangible benefits in the environment or during specific interactions. They are often acquired through completing side quests, purchasing from 'Black Market Data Brokers', or unlocking them via the Skill Tree. Examples include:

• Lockpick Simulation: Allows you to bypass basic electronic locks. Requires a mini-game to succeed.
• Security Bypass Module: Temporarily disables advanced security systems like laser grids or motion detectors. Has a cooldown.
• Environmental Scan: Highlights interactive objects, patrol routes, and hidden clues in your immediate vicinity.
• Deep Scan: An upgraded Environmental Scan that reveals more detailed information and extends range.
• Information Decryption: Used to access encrypted data terminals or personal devices. Requires a 'Logic Gate' mini-game.
• Noise Dampening Field: Creates a small area where your footsteps and minor actions are silenced. Limited duration.

These protocols are essential for infiltration, data acquisition, and navigating hazardous environments. Always check your Quick Slot bar to ensure you have the appropriate Utility Protocol ready for the task at hand. Some protocols consume 'Energy Units', so manage your resources wisely.
