Feedback Loop

Feedback Loop
Class	Intelligence Perk
Attribute	Intelligence
Tier	Pro (9)
Levels	1
Requires	Hack Queue

Feedback Loop pays RAM back for every hack sitting in a queue. The more V has lined up on enemies, the faster the bar refills. It sits in the netrunning branch of the Intelligence tree. Spending RAM becomes the way to get RAM.

Effect

---

The recovery rate rises with each queued quickhack, which inverts the usual arithmetic. Normally a netrunner slows down as the bar empties, and here emptying the bar is what speeds it up.

The hacks have to be in a queue rather than merely active, so the perk is tied to the queue mechanics bought lower and higher in the branch. A build with long queues on several enemies regenerates very quickly indeed.

How to Unlock Feedback Loop

---

It sits behind the Pro gate of the Intelligence tree and is bought from Hack Queue.

Perk Tree

---

Feedback Loop is bought from Hack Queue in the Intelligence tree.

Hack Queue		Pro (9)	+1 Max RAM.

Character Builds

---

It suits a netrunner running long queues on several enemies at once, which means Queue Acceleration is on the shopping list.

Buy it at the Pro gate from Hack Queue. The recovery scales with how many hacks are waiting, so it is weakest early and very strong once the queue has been lengthened twice. Sublimation in the same tree turns every point of that recovery into health while Overclock runs.

Notes

---

Queue Acceleration and Queue Mastery both lengthen the queue, which directly raises what this perk returns.

Data Recycler and Speculation return RAM on a kill instead of while the hacks are waiting.
