Decreases hack multitool costs
You're the geek in the squad, and you know your way around falling-letter screensavers better than the average moviegoer. Each level of this skill reduces multitool costs of hacking. Reduction depends on task difficulty.

Hacking and disabling turrets from a terminal is done with the following formula:
Disabling: Remaining turret count - 1. Can be further reduced by 1 for each level of Hacker.
Hacking: (Remaining turret count * 2) - 1. Can be further reduced by 2 for each level of Hacker.
Notes[]
- You can take up to 3 hacked robots with you to the next level. They are randomly chosen out of all robots set to "Follow".
- With normally maxed Hacker, CRI bots will still need 1 multitool to hack, but disabling them won't cost anything.
- Hacker actually has a fourth level, reached by combining maxed skill with command visor or AV3 headgear with hacking rig. It will make both types of CRI bots free to disable/hack, will allow free hacking of Guardian bots and free disabling of demonic Guardians.
- The Hacking rig armor skill allows the Marine class to get a level in Hacker.
