| Overclock V1.0 | Decrease the cooldown on all subroutines. WARNING: some subroutines may overheat after use. | — |
| Overclock V2.0 | V2.0 uses less active memory, increasing cooldown speed. | 1 Hacker Bronze Service Star |
| Backdoor V2.0 | V2.0 lowers the latency requirements of this subroutine, thus giving it a smaller cooldown time. | 2 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| Trojan V2.0 | V2.0 confuses administrative processes on interactions, allowing for a longer duration before being shut down. | 3 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| GPS Jamming V2.0 | V2.0 sends a stronger scramble signal, greatly increasing the affected area. | 4 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| Point of Interest V2.0 | V2.0 can run on the latest AR firmware, allowing the POI to last longer. | 5 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| Fast Deploy V2.0 | V2.0 scrambles the traffic controller’s systems, leading to a longer duration before being purged. | 6 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| GPS Spotting V2.0 | V2.0 uses WiFi on GPS devices to echo the original signal, increasing the spotting area. | 7 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| Trace V2.0 | V2.0 sends multiple signals at different frequencies, which increases its duration and also displays Spawn Beacons. | 8 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| Squad Upgrade V2.0 | V2.0 reduces active memory, increasing cooldown speed. | 9 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| Backdoor V3.0 | V3.0 uses less active memory, reducing the cooldown further. | 10 Hacker Bronze Service Stars |
| GPS Jamming V3.0 | V3.0 refactors the code to run in parallel, making the cooldown faster and the duration longer. | 1 Hacker Silver Service Star |
| Point of Interest V3.0 | V3.0 unlocks the AR clock speed to recharge the cooldown faster. | 2 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| Trojan V3.0 | V3.0 sends multiple shadow copies to interactions, confusing the detection system and allowing it to last longer. | 3 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| Overclock V3.0 | V3.0 includes a watercooling heat dissipation system, which increases clock speed and decreases overheat time. | 4 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| GPS Spotting V3.0 | V3.0 batch processes incoming signals, increasing cooldown speed. | 5 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| Fast Deploy V3.0 | V3.0 tracks satellite navigation systems, allowing for better traffic signal coordination and a greater decrease in return time. | 6 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| Trace V3.0 | V3.0 adds a signal that displays any Trojans on an interaction placed by another hacker. | 7 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| Squad Upgrade V3.0 | V3.0 optimizes many lists into a hashtable, further increasing cooldown speed. | 8 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| Backdoor V4.0 | V4.0 batch processes commands, further lowering this subroutine’s cooldown. | 9 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| GPS Jamming V4.0 | V4.0 uses a signal amplifier, further increasing the area of affect. | 10 Hacker Silver Service Stars |
| Point of Interest V4.0 | V4.0 uses more of the AR battery for an even faster cooldown. | 1 Hacker Gold Service Star |
| Trojan V4.0 | V4.0 bypasses early detection systems and instead hacks the kernel inside an interaction, further increasing its duration. | 2 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Overclock V4.0 | V4.0 detects high heat areas and applies more coolant, reducing the number of subroutines that overheat. | 3 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| GPS Spotting V4.0 | V4.0 amplifies the signal, further increasing the spotting area. | 4 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Fast Deploy V4.0 | V4.0 uses a more advanced routing algorithm to further decrease return time and cut cooldown time. | 5 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Trace V4.0 | V4.0 echoes signals off multiple radio towers, increasing its duration. | 6 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Squad Upgrade V4.0 | V4.0 decreases the effects of latency, speeding up the cooldown even more. | 7 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Backdoor V5.0 | V5.0 uses even less memory, greatly reducing cooldown. | 8 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| GPS Jamming V5.0 | V5.0 reaches further while increasing the duration and speeding up cooldown time. | 9 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Point of Interest V5.0 | V5.0 hacks the AR kernel, allowing it the POI to last even longer on the HUD. | 10 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Trojan V5.0 | V5.0 refactors much of the code to run in parallel, greatly reducing cooldown for all uses. | 11 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Overclock V5.0 | V5.0 optimizes coolant application, leading to faster cooldown, higher clock speed, lower overheat time, and even fewer overheated subroutines. | 12 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| GPS Spotting V5.0 | V5.0 optimizes for parallel architecture, decreasing the cooldown and dramatically increasing the duration. | 13 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Fast Deploy V5.0 | V5.0 is virtually invisible to an automated traffic controller, leading to a much longer duration before being purged. | 14 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
| Trace V5.0 | V5.0 interpolates positions with a more advanced algorithm, further increasing its duration. | 15 Hacker Gold Service Stars |
