Critical Payload is a Breach Skill unlocked through the Research Tree. This node has a 10% chance of increasing inserted Payload Damage by 150%. Requires 1 Hack Skill available.
It is possible to chain Critical Payload nodes together by inputtig the output of one node to another node. Doing so increases the iterations of chance for Critical Damage and each iteration can stack multiple bonuses on top of the last. This allows for scenarios where there can be 8 Critical Payload nodes simultaneously applying Critical Damage significantly and randomly increasing overall damage per second.
Hack Points can be spent in the upgrade menu to increase both Critical Damage and Critical Strike Chance. To a maximum of 30% Critical Chance at increasing inserted Payload Damage by 210%.
