Editing Missions and Legwork (section)

== Leverage ==
Missions usually have one or more options to purchase Leverage in advance of deployment. Leverage costs either credits or [[Favors]] owed from [[Contacts]] or may be available by completing [[Legwork]]. Some Leverage can be purchased with tokens in the [[Field Ops Center]] or in the [[Hacking Station]]. Leverage can disable some [[security]] elements, delay reinforcements, buff your team, harm your enemies, reveal additional loot locations, and even allow you to enter an alternative starting location or entire map stage. Leverage represents an opportunity specific to the mission; it cannot be used on a different mission. It may be provided by a [[Contacts|Contact]] with connections to the target site or the target [[Factions|Faction]], intelligence gained about the target site, or resources prepared in advance specifically for the mission. If you purchase or obtain Leverage for a mission but do not use it, it cannot be saved for a different mission. Count it as the cost of careful contingency planning.

Here is a list of [[Mission Leverage Types]].
