Projectile Protocols

Projectile protocols act on projectile entities in the world. The in-game scan label is Projectile Target. All 7 on this shelf are written from chips. None of them ship in the factory library.

The chips are sold on TBUG’s Projectile shelf. Ballistic Overclock only works on a projectile you fired. Ballistic Takeover, Ballistic Freeze, Data Purge, Projectile Tithe, and Delay Fuse are aimed at incoming hostile shots. Projectile Sample records that shot’s look and later echoes it on an interval.
