# BitNodes
|
||||
|
||||
A BitNode is an important part of the game's storyline.
|
||||
In the game, you discover what BitNodes are by following the trail of clues left by the mysterious `jump3r`.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is a BitNode
|
||||
|
||||
A BitNode is the complex simulated reality in which you reside.
|
||||
By following the messages from `jump3r`, you discover that humanity was enslaved by an advanced alien race, called the Enders, using virtual simulations that trapped the minds of humans.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the Enders didn't just create a single virtual reality to enslave humans, but many different simulations.
|
||||
In other words, there are many different BitNodes that exist.
|
||||
These BitNodes are very different from each other.
|
||||
|
||||
jump3r tells you that the only hope for humanity is to destroy all of these BitNodes.
|
||||
Therefore, the end goal for the player is to enter and then destroy each BitNode.
|
||||
|
||||
Destroying a BitNode resets most of the player's progress but grants the player a powerful second-tier persistent upgrade called a [Source-File](sourcefiles.md).
|
||||
Different BitNodes grant different [Source-Files](sourcefiles.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Each BitNode has unique characteristics that are related to varying backstories.
|
||||
For example, in one BitNode the world is in the middle of a financial catastrophe with a collapsing market.
|
||||
In this BitNode, most forms of income such as working at a [Company](../basic/companies.md) or [Hacknet Nodes](../basic/hacknet_nodes.md) are significantly less profitable.
|
||||
[Servers](../basic/servers.md) have less money on them and lowered growth rates, but it is easier to lower their security level using the `weaken` function.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, some BitNodes introduce new content and mechanics.
|
||||
For example, there is one BitNode that grants access to the [Singularity API](https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src/blob/dev/markdown/bitburner.singularity.md).
|
||||
There is another BitNode in which you can manage a [Gang](gang.md) to earn money and [Reputation](../basic/reputation.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to destroy a BitNode
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, the only way to destroy a BitNode is to join Daedalus.
|
||||
From Daedalus, the player can obtain an [Augmentation](../basic/augmentations.md) called `The Red Pill`, which doesn't cost any money but does require a good amount of [Faction](../basic/factions.md) [Reputation](../basic/reputation.md).
|
||||
|
||||
After installing `The Red Pill`, the player must search for and then manually `hack` a server called `w0r1d_d43m0n`.
|
||||
This server requires a hacking level of `3000`, sometimes more, in order to successfully hack it.
|
||||
This will destroy the player's current BitNode.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a second method of destroying a BitNode, but it must be unlocked by first destroying BitNode-6 or BitNode-7 ([Bladeburners](bladeburners.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
When the player destroys a BitNode, most of their progress will be reset.
|
||||
This includes things such as [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md) and [RAM](../basic/ram.md) upgrades on the home computer.
|
||||
The only things that will persist through destroying BitNodes are:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Source-Files](sourcefiles.md)
|
||||
- [Scripts](../basic/scripts.md) on the home computer
|
||||
- [Intelligence](intelligence.md)
