# Sleeves
|
||
|
||
When VitaLife unveiled their Persona Core technology that allowed people to digitize
|
||
and transfer their consciousness into other vessels, human bodies became nothing more
|
||
than 'sleeves' for the human consciousness. This technology thus became known as
|
||
"Sleeve technology".
|
||
|
||
Sleeve technology unlocks two different gameplay features:
|
||
|
||
- Duplicate Sleeves
|
||
- [Grafting](grafting.md)
|
||
|
||
Sleeve technology is unlocked in [BitNode-10](bitnodes.md).
|
||
|
||
## Duplicate Sleeves
|
||
|
||
Duplicate Sleeves are MK-V Synthoids (synthetic androids) into which your consciousness
|
||
has been copied. In other words, these Synthoids contain a perfect duplicate of your mind.
|
||
|
||
Duplicate Sleeves are essentially clones which you can use to perform work-type actions,
|
||
such as working for a [Company](../basic/companies.md) / [Faction](../basic/factions.md) or committing a [Crime](../basic/crimes.md). When sleeves perform these tasks,
|
||
they will earn money, experience, and [Reputation](../basic/reputation.md).
|
||
|
||
Sleeves are their own individuals, which means they each have their own experience and stats.
|
||
|
||
When a sleeve earns experience, it earns experience for itself, the player's
|
||
original consciousness, as well as all of the player's other sleeves.
|
||
|
||
Duplicate Sleeves are **not** reset when installing [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md), but they are reset
|
||
when switching [BitNodes](bitnodes.md).
|
||
|
||
## Obtaining Duplicate Sleeves
|
||
|
||
There are two methods of obtaining Duplicate Sleeves:
|
||
|
||
1. Destroy [BitNode-10](bitnodes.md). Each completion gives you one additional Duplicate Sleeve.
|
||
2. Purchase Duplicate Sleeves from The Covenant.
|
||
This is only available in [BitNode-10](bitnodes.md). Sleeves purchased this way are **permanent** (they persist
|
||
through [BitNodes](bitnodes.md)). You can purchase up to 5 Duplicate Sleeves from The Covenant.
|
||
|
||
## Synchronization
|
||
|
||
Synchronization is a measure of how aligned your consciousness is with that of your
|
||
Duplicate Sleeves. It is a numerical value between `1` and `100`, and it affects how much experience
|
||
is earned when the sleeve is performing a task.
|
||
|
||
Synchronization can be increased by assigning sleeves to the `Synchronize` task.
|
||
|
||
## Sleeve Shock
|
||
|
||
Sleeve shock is a measure of how much trauma the sleeve has due to being placed in a new
|
||
body. It is a numerical value between `0` and `100`, where `100` indicates full shock and `0` indicates
|
||
no shock. Shock affects the amount of experience earned by the sleeve.
|
||
|
||
Sleeve shock slowly decreases over time. You can further increase the rate at which
|
||
it decreases by assigning sleeves to the `Shock Recovery` task.
|
||
|
||
Let `X` be the sleeve's shock and `Y` be the sleeve's synchronization. When the sleeve earns experience by performing
|
||
a task, the sleeve gains `X%` of the amount of experience normally earned by the task. player’s original host consciousness and all of the player's other sleeves
|
||
earn `Y%` of the experience that the sleeve gained, or `X\*Y %` of the normal experience amount.
|
||
|
||
## Augmentations
|
||
|
||
You can purchase [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md) for your Duplicate
|
||
Sleeves. In order to do this, the sleeve's shock must be at `0`. Any [Augmentation](../basic/augmentations.md)
|
||
that is currently available to you through a faction is also available for your
|
||
Duplicate Sleeves. There are a few [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md), such as NeuroFlux Governor and
|
||
[Bladeburner](bladeburners.md)-specific ones, that cannot be purchased for a Duplicate Sleeve.
|
||
|
||
When you purchase an [Augmentation](../basic/augmentations.md) for a Duplicate Sleeve, it is instantly installed.
|
||
When this happens, the sleeve's stats are instantly reset back to 0, similar to
|
||
when you normally install [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md).
|
||
|
||
The cost of purchasing an [Augmentation](../basic/augmentations.md) for a Duplicate Sleeve is **not** affected
|
||
by how many [Augmentations](../basic/augmentations.md) you have purchased for yourself, and vice versa.
|
||
|
||
## Memory
|
||
|
||
Sleeve memory dictates what a sleeve's synchronization will be when it is reset by
|
||
switching [BitNodes](bitnodes.md). For example, if a sleeve has a memory of `10`, then when you
|
||
switch [BitNodes](bitnodes.md) its synchronization will initially be set to `10`, rather than 1.
|
||
|
||
Memory can only be increased by purchasing upgrades from The Covenant. Just like
|
||
the ability to purchase additional sleeves, this is only available in [BitNode-10](bitnodes.md).
|
||
|
||
Memory is a persistent stat, meaning it never gets reset back to `1`.
|
||
The maximum possible value for a sleeve's memory is `100`.
|
||
|
||
Buying memory has no instant affect on synchronization,
|
||
memory affects only the starting synchronization upon entering a [BitNode](bitnodes.md).
