Syndicate Wars Hints
Weapons or Cybernetic Modifications?
It's a give-and-take dilemma: if you first research the cybernetic part, you'll be behind schedule for weapons in comparison to the enemy. On the other hand, you'll be stronger and will almost always be able to outrun them. If your research is mainly based on weapons, you will be able to knock them down with the latest technology, but at the cost of lower protection, speed, and effectiveness.
I followed this strategy: after researching some standard weapons like the explosives, I first got most of the level 1 cybernetic modifications researched. Then I started with the weapons, combined with the mods. (Note that you can research two items at the same time, but only 1 will be completed when you end a mission.)
I must say that, working this way, I did not have enough missions to research all weapons (e.g. the graviton gun, the ion mine, and the chromotap). But these are only useful for such specific situations that I didn't miss them.
