Log_Deleters

  • Log_Deleter

    Deletes a log.
    Versions: 4
    Prices: 500c // 1,000c // 2,000c // 4,000c
    Version differences:
    v1.0 -- Leaves a (Log Deleted) marker where the log used to be.
    v2.0 -- Leaves a hole. Possible to Undelete
    v3.0 -- Leaves a weird marker. Possible to Undelete
    v4.0 -- Moves other logs to cover up the hole. Impossible to detect or
    delete.

    Notes: All the hackers you have to trace use a Log_Deleter v3.0 in their last bounce. Use the console for early game log-deleting, for it's the same effect as Log_Deleter v1.0 and you can quickly save up the cash for a v4.0. You'll be using this throughout the game.
