All Sync Disks In Shadows Of Doubt

Best Sync Disks in Shadows of Doubt

There are 18 Sync Disks in Shadows of Doubt, but not all of them are particularly worth the trouble of installing them. As mentioned in our Shadows of Doubt review, Sync Disks are a complex system, and each Sync Disk typically has one of two ‘paths’ you can go down when you first install them. Some Sync Disks provide minor changes, such as an increase (or decrease) to your player height, some make you start dying every time you consume any non ‘Kola’ brand items. But, some are exceedingly powerful, and some are just great fun. So, which should you look out for in your run?

Beauty Sync Disk

The Beauty Sync Disk is one of those ‘obvious’ buffs, regardless of which path you take. Beauty has two paths, one being ‘Allure’ and the other being ‘Charm’. Allure is the stronger of the two here; paying for information isn’t always required, and any money you save from a 55% discount can certainly cover any costs.

Community Sync Disk

Community is a Sync Disk for which one effect is notably more useful than the other. Whilst additional inventory space is a great upgrade, there are other Sync Disks that provide this effect, and in this instance, the other path is far more beneficial to you in the long haul. Therefore, I suggest taking Care in the Community.

Kaizen V-Love Plus Sync Disk

The Kaizen V-Love Plus Sync Disk is the first Sync Disk here with an initial side effect, but the benefits of this disk far outweigh the drawbacks. This Sync Disk is an absolute must on more difficult side jobs, specifically the ones in which you only have a very vague description of your target. Either path is super useful, so choosing may still be difficult. In my opinion, Physiological Perception is definitely the more powerful of the two.

Tenacity Sync Disk

The Tenacity Sync Disk is a purely combat focused Sync Disk, and the upgrades from this one are super important for long runs, because unless you’re supremely sneaky when you’re breaking and entering solving murders, you will eventually get into a scrap or two. All three of these paths are strong, but I suggest taking the ‘Reflexes’ path.

Trespasser Sync Disk

Trespasser is the last one I’ll be listing here, and frankly it’s the only one I can’t provide a suggestion on. All three of the potential upgrades for Trespasser are insanely strong, so this one is truly up to you. You’ll be doing a lot of locking during your time in Shadows of Doubt, so make sure you choose wisely.

All Sync Disks in Shadows of Doubt

Here we’ll be going through the remaining 13 Sync Disks on offer in Shadows of Doubt, and explaining what they do, and what their upgrades are. Just because this lot didn’t make the top five doesn’t mean they aren’t worth your time… apart from one in particular.

Ambassador Sync Disk

This Sync Disk provides two ways of earning money, either passively, or actively. I’d suggest taking Competitor Data Mining, and making a habit of installing the software on every Cruncher you come across.

Cartographer Sync Disk

This Sync Disk is very simple, and it simply earns you some Crows every time you either discover a new place, or go through vents. I’d suggest Urbex Cartographer, as it’s far easier to do, and every apartment you go to counts as one of these unexplored areas.

Constitution Sync Disk

Constitution is a bit of a no brainer. Whilst no longer being able to get three negative status effects sounds great, getting rid of them normally is very easy. And compared to getting three whole inventory slots in exchange, it’s simply not worth doing.

Frame Sync Disk

Frame is, genuinely, a really funny Sync Disk to put points into when you go to the max in each path. Please, just go and max one of them out, you’ll see for yourself. Neither tree provides you a single benefit whatsoever. Just do it anyway.

Interceptor Sync Disk

Interceptor is yet another Crow earning disc, this one regarding citizens. I’d suggest Mailing List here, as you’ll earn far more frequently as opposed to Safecracker.

Model Citizen Sync Disk

Yeah, this one is weird, but it’s still a way to earn Crows. I really don’t know which of the two to suggest here, so pick whichever you feel matches your play style more. For example, I don’t find myself reading books all that often, but I do eat a lot of Yakisoba Pan.

Physique Sync Disk

This one really depends on you. If you find yourself getting beaten up a bunch, I’d take Vitality. In my case however, I’m usually the one doing the beating, so Fortitude is better suited to me.

Spartan Insurance Sync Disk

This is the ‘Insurance Fraud’ Sync Disk. Gold Medical Cover is, handy if you’re getting beaten up a lot. You can get the same effect AND the insurance fraud thing from Gold Accident cover, but only from self-imposed injury. Gold Legal Cover can come in handy from time to time, but I’d say just don’t get caught.

Starch Brand Ambassador Sync Disk

Another Crow earner, but a more annoying one. If you must take this disk, I’d suggest Put Some Life Into It, as it’s a higher and guaranteed payout.

Sugar Daddy Sync Disk

Under no circumstances should you install this Sync Disk. It will make your life hell, for quite some time. I guess if you have 3 Sync Disk Upgrade Vials to spare, this is technically a way to make 1000 Crows quickly, but otherwise, don’t bother.

Vigor Sync Disk

This is a bit of a no brainer too. Power sounds great on paper, but barging doors down really doesn’t take much effort. Being completely resistant to fall damage however is very much an upgrade.
