Summary0029352: Hackamajig effect is too small to be helpful
DescriptionIn the attached save, there's a big fight with a lot of units targeting different things. Both the Sledge and the Predator can use the hackamajig. The Sledge using it, even twice, does absolutely nothing. The Predator using it attracts fire from exactly one enemy, which is a waste of an action given the Predator could just kill something instead.

In a large firefight against powerful foes, if you can't absorb the damage, then it won't be very helpful. Some of the other damage-mitigation stuff coming up will make it more helpful. In the meantime, the following changes have been made:

* Extra information has been added to the item descriptions for the armor piercing rounds and hackamajig, so that now players can actually figure out how to use those things much more easily.

* The hackamajig now costs twice as many microbuilders, and now has a stack limit of 1 instead of 2, but is also twice as effective as it used to be.
** A lot of players were not realizing that you really had to use two bursts of it for it to be fully effective, and there was no need to make them do that. So now it does the equivalent of two bursts in one.
** Additionally, the wealth cost has been increased about 24x, because it was such a low value before that it may as well have not been there. Originally that was set as the cost before wiretapping was a thing.
