Notes

If you win the fight after successfully tearing a chunk of code from your opponent, you will gain 1-2 pieces code. Some code modules can only be obtained this way:

• Orderly code from Omnitech AutoDefenses
• Midgard internal code from Midgard Protectors
• Viral code from viruses
• All known opponents also drop automation routine, math subroutine, networking code and security patches
