Dictionary

World (Instance) - Each account is allowed to have 3 players on each world. There are 3 worlds so thats a total of 9 characters you can have. The worlds are run on separate servers and characters from one world will have no contact with characters from another world except with e-mail.

$Information - Money has no meaning to a redpill. Instead of money, redpills and exiles trade information about the matrix and its secrets for goods and services.

Redpill - A human who has chosen to give up their life in the matrix in order to live in the real world.

Bluepill - A human who lives in the matrix (may or may not of had the choice to leave).

Jacked-In - The state of a player who is in the matrix. When you log onto the game you are placed in the loading area (unless you used the auto jackout procedure then you're placed at your last known location). Once you select a hardline you can jack into the matrix and enter the world.

Program - 1) A body of code which interacts with the matrix in the form of a human. 2) A piece of code which a hacker can use for a variety of effects in the matrix.

Code - The matrix is just a computer simulation and as such all objects and abilities are just pieces of computer code. The phrase 'code' is used as a generic term for any object.

Controller - Controllers are the people that give out missions to members of their organisation.

Operator - Operators are members of an organisation that will track a player's progress during the mission and relay new information as it becomes available.

Memory - Every redpill has a limit to how many subroutines can be loaded into their heads. As the redpills train themselves and gain experience, they learn to hold more information in their minds.

Ability - Abilities are the skills in the form of subroutines that allow you to manipulate the matrix.

Discipline - A discipline is a set of related abilities. All disciplines start off with awakened, and from there branch off into 3 primary specializations in a tree structure. The 3 primary disciplines are operative, hacker and coder.

Load-out - A load-out is all of the abilities you have loaded into your memory and can include more than 1 discipline.

Luggable - An object that gives bonuses and can be dropped into the world.

A personality is what gives you a unique embodiment of distinctive traits of mind and behavior so different personalities affect different traits or stats as they are called in MxO. The starting point for each stat is 8 but one of those stats will lose 3 points and another gain 3 points depending on the personality chosen. The high stat is the one that gains 3 points making 11 and the low stat is the one that loses 3 points making 5 for that personality.

Personality	High Stat	Low Stat	Ideal Discipline	Description
Detached Spectator	Perception	Focus	Operative: Spy	You see more clearly than the others. You knew it all wasn’t real.
Devoted Aesthetic	Belief	Vitality	Operative: Soldier Hacker: Virologist	You sought the truth even through physical and mental suffering.
Fanatic Self Improver	Vitality	Belief	Operative: Gunman, Spy	No pain, no gain. You trained your body to its peak, and beyond.
Inquisitive Genius	Reason	Belief	Operative: Spy	You did the math, and it didn’t add up.
Lunatic Fringe	Belief	Reason	Operative: Soldier	You saw beyond what was out there, something told you it wasn’t real.
New Age Hippy	Focus	Reason	Operative: Soldier, Gunman Hacker: Patcher	You achieved an inner peace others dream of; you consider the universe flawed.
Secluded Introvert	Focus	Perception	Operative: Soldier Hacker: Patcher	You don’t need the world, your thoughts are company enough.
Suspicious Cynic	Perception	Belief	Operative: Spy, Gunman	You don’t believe the new age blather, you knew it was all wrong.
Troubled Intellectual	Reason	Focus	Operative: Spy Hacker: Virologist	You discovered the Matrix for what it was. Something frightened you.
True Believer	Belief	Perception	Operative: Soldier Hacker: Virologist	Possible and impossible are states of mine. Senses lie.

 

 

 

 

 

Stats determine how well you will perform specific tasks. This table shows what attributes each stat upgrades and the ideal discipline to use if this is a stat you intend to level. Each point of a stat upgrades its attributes by a bonus of 2%. With some abilities there is an interval between upgrades and each ability has a cap where it reaches its maximum. The maximum amount of points you can put into one stat is 30.

Stat	Description	Attributes	Disciplines
Belief	The confidence to do tasks with absolute conviction	- Viral damage - Viral defense - Melee accuracy - Melee resistance - Speed - Pacify duration - Blind duration - Buff area - Debuff area	Operative: Soldier - Ma Hacker: Virologist Coder: Utility coder, Proxy coder

Belief in one's self is necessary to be an accurate martial artist; it aids in resisting physical damage and also helps defend against the viral attacks of others while increasing the viral damage of your own attacks. Belief also increases normal movement speed.

Stat	Description	Attributes	Disciplines
Focus	The ability to concentrate and manage performance	- Melee damage - Melee defense - Ballistic accuracy - Ballistic resistance - Healing - Stun duration - Root duration	Operative: Soldier - Gunman, Ma Hacker: Patcher Coder: Utility coder

Those with good Focus will have a steady aim with firearms, be more resistant to damage from gunshots, and will be able to defend well against martial attacks while having increased damage dealt by their own martial arts attacks.  Forcing an unwilling opponent in to close combat is easier with higher Focus, and healers will find their cures more effective as well.

Stat	Description	Attributes	Disciplines
Perception	The ability to detect changes in the environment	- Thrown accuracy - Thrown resistance - Ballistic damage - Ballistic defense - Sneak speed - Invis speed - Concentration - Enrage duration - Sweep	Operative: Spy - Infiltrator, Cutthroat. Soldier - Gunman

Perception is indispensable for accurate knife-throwing, aids in resisting damage from hurled blades, increases the damage done by your firearms and helps you defend against gunshots fired by enemies. Avoiding close combat and moving more quickly when using stealth are aided by a high Perception as well.

Stat	Description	Attributes	Disciplines
Reason	The problem-solving capability with logical thought	- Viral accuracy - Viral resistance - Thrown damage - Thrown defense - IS cost modifier - Confuse duration - Powerless duration	Operative: Spy - Cutthroat Hacker: Virologist Coder: Proxy coder

Reason is one way to resist damage from viral attacks, while allowing you to accurately launch your own. It increases the damage you deal from knife-throwing and also helps to defend against the thrown blades of others. Reasonable individuals use their Inner Strength more efficiently than others.

Stat	Description	Attributes	Disciplines
Vitality	The measure of overall physical wellbeing	- HP regen rate - Max HP - IS regen rate - Max IS - Initiative - Determination - Contested withdraw	All

Health and Inner Strength are the hallmarks of a high vitality, increasing them and reducing recovery time. Vital individuals attack first more often and have less trouble breaking away from close combat; they also have less chance of their abilities being interrupted when taking damage from an attack.

There are 4 different types of equipment/items:

• Clothing/Apparel
• Weapons (Guns)
• Tools
• Consumables

Unlike ability codes if you want to code them you have to decompile them first using the decompile ability in the coder tree and the decompile tool. This destroys the item and produces code bits therefore you learn it's recipe. Then you are able to code the item using the analyser tool to make it's code. Next you have to compile the item's code using the compile ability and tool to make the item itself.

This table shows the difficulty of decompiling depending on your level:

Colour	Level	Ease of decompiling
Grey (very weak buffs)	Yours -5 or more	Definite
Green (weak buffs)	Yours -4 or -3	Very Easy
Blue (fair buffs)	Yours -2 or -1	Easy
Yellow (good buffs)	Yours	Average
Orange (strong buffs)	Yours +1 or +2	Hard
Red (very strong buffs)	Yours +3 or +4	Very Hard
Purple (special buffs)	Yours +5 or more	Extremely Hard
White (no buffs)	None	Impossible

Clothing

Clothing or Apparel is what you wear and can grant buffs. Search through the vast amount of clothing here.

Weapons

All weapons are guns which split into 3 main types: handguns, submachine guns and rifles. There is also a sub-tree on rifleman called sniper so sniper guns are shown too. The type of gun you have is important if you are going down a certain route in the gunman tree. This table shows other versions of the guns:

Symbol	Meaning	Description
T	Twin. You can also get this gun in a duo.	You can only have the twin version if you have the right ability loaded.
E	Enhanced. You can also get this gun with upgrades.	These are rarer than the standard version and have more buffs.
S	Silenced. You can also get this gun making less noise.	These are rarer than the standard version and attract less attention.

This table shows the standard guns:

Level	Handguns (Gunslinger)	SMGs (Scattershot)	Rifles (Rifleman)	Sniper Rifles (Sniper)
1				None
5	E	E	E	None
10	E S	E S	E S	None
15	E S	E S	E S	None
20 (T-19)	E S T	E S T	E S	None
25 (T-24)	E S T	E S T	E S	None
30	E S T	E S T	E S	E S
35	E S T	E S T	E S	E S
40	E S T	E S T	E S	E S
45	E S T	E S T	E S	E S
50	E S T	E S T	E S	E S

These are the guns you will come across while missioning. You can find other guns from hideouts, constructs and collectors.

Tools

There are 4 trees that use tools with the appropriate abilities to achieve a goal. Tools are not essential but they can help you in certain tasks and in the case of the coder allow you to make your own abilities and items. Numbers next to the images are it's minimum level for use.

Level	Hacker	Coder	Spy	Data Miner
1-5		1 2 4 4 5	5 5 5	1 1 5 5 5
6-10	None	None	6 6 6 6 6 8	None
11-15		None		None

26-30		None
31-35	None	None	None	None
36-40		None	None
41-45		None	None
46-50	None	None	None

Consumables

Each individual consumable can only be used once and then it disappears. The effect it has is only temporary but you can collect more than one of them and they can stack up to 20 so you will save inventory space.

Level	Tactic boosters	Health boosters	Health pills	Antibiotics
1		None
6	None	None		None
10	None		None
12	None	None		None
15		None	None	None

45		None	None	None

There are other consumables like inhalers and activity facilitators that can be found at vendors in clubs.

There are 4 ways to obtain an ability code:

• Buying them from a vendor
• Buying them from the marketplace
• Coding them yourself
• Trading for them with another player

The marketplace is where players sell the items they don't want so you might not find what you want there and you might not find a player who wants to trade it if they have it. Therefore the most reliable ways are to buy them from a vendor or to code them yourself. It is more expensive to your $info if you buy them from a vendor but if you code them you also use up code fragments. It is best to code them because you can't buy abilities above lvl 33 from a vendor.

 

Here are the locations of every vendor

 

Level (complexity)	Cost to Buy (vendor)	Cost to Code ($info)	Cost to Code (code fragments)	Signal Booster points
1-4	100-6400	7-480	Rare: None Variable: 2 (C: 2 U: 0)	+1
5-9	10000-32400	750-2430	Rare: None Variable: 2 (C: 1 U: 1)	+1
10-14	40000-98000	3000-7350	Rare: None Variable: 3 (C: 2 U: 1)	+1
15-19	112500-180500	8437-13537	Rare: None Variable: 3 (C: 1 U: 2)	+1
20	200000	15000	Rare: Interface Variable: 3 (C: 2 U: 1)	+2
21-24	242000-288000	18150-21600	Rare: Object Variable: 3 (C: 2 U: 1)	+2

Every ability code also needs the ability subroutine (blue). Variable fragments (green) are made up of code bits which can be obtained as loot from NPCs or by decompiling an item. You can also obtain variable fragments (common or uncommon) as loot or from code fragment vendors. Code bits can be assembled into variable fragments before you code the ability. Rare fragments (red) can only be obtained from specific locations.

 

Here are the locations of every rare code fragment

 

You can upgrade your writecode ability to increase the chances of coding successfully. To do this go to a signal booster.

 

Here are the locations of every signal booster

The loading area is your base of operations outside the matrix on your hovercraft (or hoverbarge if you're not in a crew) and where your operator communicates from. Come here to watch the cinematics of the storyline and manage your code and inventory or buy some more at the marketplace.

The Hardline list

The hardline list is organised alphabetically with each district containing a list of the hardlines you tagged in them. The untagged ones are added to the list when you tag them. Each hardline is identified by its neighbourhood and compass point. The compass point will be one of the 8 directions or one of the 5 central points. The colour of the hardlines determine how much they have been used recently:

Green

Light green

Yellow

Orange

Red

Green means it has not been used recently and the further along the spectrum it goes the more it has been used. The more a hardline has been used the more likely you are to fail jacking in from it. To jack into the matrix select a hardline from the list and click the 'Jack into the matrix' button in the bottom right corner.

The E-mail

The game has its own e-mail system. You can send e-mails to any players in the game and any other SOE game and you can send the same e-mail to a group of players. You can also send attachments but only to players on the same server and you must be in the loading area of near a hardline. You can send an attachment to yourself for extra storage and to save space in your inventory. Not all items can be e-mailed as attachments, check to see if you can an e-mail an item by hovering your mouse over it and reading the description. Singleton means it can only be sent to yourself. You can store a maximum of 300 e-mails.

Sending e-mails

Send to:

Name - If on the same game and server
Server.Name - If on same the game but a different server
Game(abr).Server.Name - If on a different SOE game
Name1;Name2;Name3 - If all on the same server

Server.Name1;Name2;Name3 - If all on that server

Game(abr).Server.Name1;Name2;Name3 - If all on that game and server
Crew - All crew members

The Code archive

This is where all your code is stored before being used in your loadout or for coding. Code includes:

• Code bits
• Code fragments
• Ability codes
• Item codes
• Mission items

Each can be filtered to show only one type and each code takes up one space with a maximum of 520 spaces. However code bits and code fragments can stack to 20 so up to 20 of the same code only takes up one space.

The Marketplace

Buying

Any code or items that are sellable can be found on the marketplace. You might not find what you want because you are buying from other players in the same server. If you find what you want at a reasonable price buy it as someone else might buy it before you. Click the back button to go back to the previous and the more button to display more code or items. The green button takes you back to the first menu.

Sorting

You can sort the code or items on display in different ways to make it easier to find what you want. Use the arrow buttons to make them appear in ascending or descending order.

Alphabetically - Use this to display everything alphabetically.

By level - Use this to display everything by their level requirements.

Stability - Use this to display everything by how stable they are.

Organisation - Use this to display everything grouped by the org the players selling are.

Cost - Use this to display everything by how much they cost (cheap or expensive).

Selling

Anything you don't want or have surplus of you can sell at the marketplace. You are given a default price to sell it at but you can change it. The default prices are the reasonable prices to sell them at but some default prices may be too cheap. It's up to you to sell them at a price where it will sell and you get as much $information as possible. Once you put something up for sale a price appears to delist it if you want it back and it increases over time. Items you can't sell are greyed out.

Time (days)	% cost
1	3
2	5
3-7	10
8-14	50
15-19	75
20	100

If the item you're selling doesn't sell and you don't delist it, it will be removed on the 25th day.

There are 3 main organisations to choose from in MxO: Zion, Machines and the Merovingian. There are also 2 sub-organisations: EPN  (from Zion) and the Cypherites (from the Machines). To be a part of a sub-organisation you need to be a member of the appropriate main organisation and join a faction with their tag. If you want your faction to have an EPN or CYPH tag contact the appropriate liaison officer on your server. There are other unjoinable orgs that come and go through the storyline. You show your loyalty to an org by gaining reputation from doing their missions and making a crew aligned to that org. The maximum number of crew members you can have in a crew is 12.

Zion

Leader: The Zion Council

Controller: Tyndall

Recruit: Redpills and Bluepills

Base: New Zion (Real world)

Playable: Yes

Zion is the last city of free humanity, located deep within the earth. It's called Zion because the Zion people consider it an idealized, harmonious community (a utopia). In the matrix, the Zion Organization stands for humanity’s right to determine its own destiny. Zion believes that a human being’s freedom to select his or her own destiny is sacred, and that each individual must be free to choose whether to live out their life in the comforting illusion of the matrix, or in the harsh truth of the real world. Redpills in the service of Zion are expected to risk everything for its ideals, and to be happy with a fair share of whatever prosperity may fall Zion’s way.

Machines

Leader: The Architect

Controller: Agent Gray

Recruit: Redpills, Bluepills and Programs

Base: Machine City (Real world)

Playable: Yes

The Machines are a race of self-replicating, sentient mechanical entities. They imprisoned humanity within the pods, and they power themselves with the bio-electric energies generated by a healthy human mind. They don’t want to destroy humanity, they are utterly dependent on humanity for their continued existence. The only thing about humanity that matters to the machines is that energy continues to flow out of the pods. They do not care if the humans are slaves or free unless their freedom starts to interfere with the energy fluxes. The Machines will make deals with human Redpills when it suits their purpose to do so. They are quite scrupulous about delivering whatever rewards they may have promised to the human operatives, but emotions like gratitude, generosity and mercy are completely alien to the machine mind. Although they are no longer engaged in active hostilities against Awakened humans, the Machines continue to guard themselves in the real world with the hunter-seeker units called Sentinels, while the cold and implacable AI constructs called Agents continue to oversee their interests in the matrix.

Merovingian

Leader: The Merovingian

Controller: Flood

Recruit: Redpills and Exiles

Base: The Chateau (The matrix)

Playable: Yes

When they built the matrix, the Machines found it necessary to create autonomous AI (Artificial Intelligence) constructs that would look and act like human beings. Inevitably, some of the AIs acquired free will, and then some of these free AIs began to comprehend the true nature of the matrix. These AIs, in turn, started to establish communication with other Machine AIs outside the matrix proper, and the matrix came to be known as a safe haven for these sentient programs who wished to flee the control of the Machine world. In The matrix an AI could feel, live and breathe as never before. A new life could be granted to those that wished to flee from the control of the machine world or avoid deletion. The matrix came to be known as a safe haven for these sentient programs. These 'Awakened' pseudo-humans call themselves 'Exiles'. The Merovingian (a name taken from an ancient line of kings in human history) is the most active and powerful of the Exiles. If he is not exactly the sole leader of the Exile community, he is certainly the first among equals, and he is by far the most active Exile player in matrix politics. He has spies and operatives everywhere in the matrix. He will cheerfully employ human Redpills whenever it suits him to do so, and he is quite generous in rewarding those who serve his interests.

Cypherites

Leader: Cryptos

Controller: Veil

Recruit: Redpills

Base: Unknown

Playable: No

The Cypherites are redpills who wish to be reinserted into the matrix. They are disillusioned with the real world and want to return to the simulated reality of the matrix. They also want to destroy Zion and reinsert all redpills so that nobody will ever be awakened to the horror of the truth again. They take their name from Cypher, the first redpill who wanted to be inserted back into the ignorant bliss of the matrix. Cryptos was friends with Cypher and he is determined to force the belief of his friend on every human, one way he does this is with cryptic messages he lectures from his boxes around the megacity. Cryptos wears a neclace with a bluepill pendant to show his beliefs. The Cypherites wear bandannas over their faces to mask their true identities, which is why they used to be called 'Masked men'.

E Pluribus Neo

Leader: The Kid

Controller: Shimada

Recruit: Redpills

Base: Old Zion (Real world)

Playable: No

Neo isn't around to lead humanity to freedom any more; he sacrificed himself to make the possibility of that freedom real. E Pluribus Neo (EPN) want to continue Neo's work. EPN (From many, One) are dedicated to following the way Neo opened for humanity and they are dedicated to freeing everyone from the clutches of the Matrix even if it risks breaking the truce. They aren't looking for excuses or truces, they are going out and doing what Neo died for and anyone who feels the same way can join them. EPN show their faith by the males dressing up as Neo and females as Trinity. They perform mass recruitment missions to get as many bluepills as possible to take the redpill and sometimes go to the extreme by planting code bombs to force bluepills to wake up in their pods in the real world. They are often in conflict with the Cypherites because their beliefs and goals are the exact opposite of EPN.

Hostile NPCs

Defeating enemy NPCs within a level range gives you xp. These include gangs, construct enemies and mission enemies either being humans or programs. How much depends on their rank. The more chevrons an NPC has the more xp you will get for defeating them (the lowest number of chevrons is 1 and the highest is 3). This is the level range:

Colour	Level	Xp
Grey (far weaker)	Yours -5 or more	None
Green (significantly weaker)	Yours -4 or -3	None or very low
Blue (weaker)	Yours -2 or -1	Low
Yellow (equivalent)	Yours	Average
Orange (tougher)	Yours +1 or +2	High
Red (significantly tougher)	Yours +3 or +4	High or very high
Purple (far tougher)	Yours +5 or more	Extremely high

You can also collect loot and drops from defeated enemies at the same time you're collecting xp. Note: Grey NPCs only attack in defense (they don't get aggro) so you don't have to avoid them.

Missions

Missioning is the most common way of gaining xp. Not only do you get the xp for completing the mission you also get xp for every mission enemy you defeat plus if you have hacker for hacking computers and/or disable security devices you can xp from them too. The 2 main types of missions are standard and critical. Standards give you the basic amounts of xp for your level and there are 7 different types, which never run out. They become available for your org when you have completed all of their starter and seduction missions. Criticals are part of the story and become available for your org everytime they're scheduled for release but you must have the right amount of reputation to do each one. Criticals reward you with more xp than standards for completing them. The xp also depends on the difficulty:

Difficulty	NPC level	Xp
Easy	Yours -1	Low
Medium	Yours	Average
Hard	Yours +1	High

It is recommended that you do your starter and seduction missions on easy or medium difficulty to get used to combat and then move on to hard difficulty in standard missions when you should be around level 10.

Coding and Data Mining

You get xp for coding but it's too small to rely on it for leveling. It's more of a bonus for when you have successfully coded something. You get more xp for coding something which is at a higher difficulty than your coding skill and less for something that is lower. For data mining, tap data nodes with a Data Siphon until you get a spawn of NPCs. These NPCs have a chance of dropping something called an Experience Code Amplifier, when used it gives you 1/10 of the xp you need to level up therefore keep collecting them and using them to gain xp.

Objects and Objectives

A list of objectives will now appear along with a waypoint. Follow the waypoint to the mission area where you must complete the objectives. The types of objectives you get depend on the mission you activate and each one is completed by interacting with an object:

• Hostile NPC - Killing - Mainly in Assassination
• Computer/Mainframe - Searching - Mainly in Courier, Retrieval and Infiltration
• Friendly NPC - Leading - Mainly in Rescue, Escort and Recruitment
• Friendly NPC/Safe - Getting/Taking - Mainly in Courier, Retrieval and Infiltration
• Friendly NPC/Desk - Giving/Putting - Mainly in Courier, Retrieval and Infiltration
• Friendly NPC - Talking - All
• Hardline - Uploading - All

Three stage missions will have an objective before the main one like obtaining a map disk. There can also be objectives you must not complete like letting your escortee die or setting off alarms, these appear in red. Mission objects you must use are identified by a green ring, these can also identify computers to hack for information, safes to lock pick for loot and security devices to deactivate alarms. Alarms on the ceiling have red rings and turn yellow when set off. Mission items like keys for locks and access cards for computers are also important to completing a mission. There are also objects in the mission area that can contain items like code, weapons, tools, consumables or clothing and these can be found in objects like filing cabinets, desks, safes and cupboards. All interactive objects can be viewed by pressing the V key to put a yellow ring around them.

 

NPCs

The level of the NPCs depend on the difficulty of the mission but if you're in a team the NPC levels scale to the average of every team members level (by mean - add them all up and divide by how many). With friendly NPCs you either talk and exchange data or lead them somewhere. The types of hostile NPCs you can get are:

• Guards - Defensive and stay in one room
• Patrollers - Defensive or Offensive and move around the whole mission area
• Ambushers - Offensive and can either attack when activating an alarm or between mission phases

The hostile NPCs have ranks too (1 chevron to 3 chevrons) and the higher the rank the tougher they are and the better the loot. NPCs can be identified by hovering the cursor over them: An arrow means friend and a crosshair means hostile. A red crosshair means the hostile has no evade shield up so you can fight them in interlock and a blue crosshair means the hostile has an evade shield up so you will have to break it if you want to fight them in interlock. You can also identify them by their messages:

Green for friend. Red for hostile.
