When you find a few abilities that you use regularly (e.g., Distract, Engine Override, and Vehicle Directional Hack), you’ll find you can’t use them more than a couple of times without sapping your BotNet Resources. In addition to choosing the “BotNet Savings” for each branch of the abilities tree (which halves the BotNet cost of specific abilities within that branch), Botnet Upgrades are the way to go! This effectively fills up your BotNet Resource “circle” in the bottom-right corner of your screen from 4 (the starting amount) to 20 (the full amount if you’ve purchased all abilities in this branch). Definitely take “BotNet Upgrade #1” as soon as you can. Then purchase additional upgrades when you need them.
