Garrote

Program: Icebreaker - Killer • Install: 6 • Memory: 2 • Strength: 2 • Influence: 3

1credit: Break sentry subroutine.

1credit: +1 strength.

The first credited icebreaker was nothing more than a unique script to bypass the security calls on a Gibson 3 Data Sentry. Garrote has over 20,000 times the data as that first breaker, but the idea remains the same: cut off the power source from the network, and then smash on through.

Welcome to Reviewing the Little Boot Icon, an unfortunately named series of reviews for Reboot-modified cards. Today's review: Garrote, the only normal killer.

  • Changes: Install cost 7>6.

  • Pros: No weirdness other than the 2 cost. Sniper requires a run event, Ninja is bad for small sentries, Femme Fatale is expensive and inefficient at actually breaking anything, and Faerie trashes after use. Gingerbread isn't even a killer. Decent boost and break numbers.

  • Cons: Expensive and eats a lot of . With Desperado the preferred console, this is annoying. Criminal is already good at getting around even having to break sentries with Femme Fatale, Emergency Shutdown, and Inside Job.

5/10 I would not run this.
