The E Pluribus Neo Manifesto

Let's go back to basics, shall we? 1) The Matrix is a prison. People are incarcerated in jelly-filled pods with bodies being force-fed the liquified remains of the dead, while their minds are force-fed a lie by a computer. 2) The Machines...

Neo's 'Freak Accident'

Resisted Viruses

Hmm. . .I forgot about the "truncating decimals". In that case, yes, resistance clothing is much more important to lower level players. However, if you can find both in an item, such as in the launchers, it couldn't hurt!

Does $info vary depending on mission difficulty?

I don't think so. When I was grinding org rep, I ran missions on easy/small and got maybe a third of the cash I was used to getting on hard missions. This was after hitting 50.
