Halloween is here, runners, and a sinister new faction emerges on the mean streets of San Angeles - The Harlequins!

The Harlequins are a free update for anyone who owns System Crash, adding 3 new cards with a unique play dynamic.

Each Harlequin, individually, is not particularly dangerous. But as you put more Harlequins into play, their threat grows dramatically. With the clowns, the more the merrier!

All Harlequins have the ability:

"On play and when another Harlequin is played - deal 2 x the number of Harlequins you control in damage to a random enemy Agent."

So when you play a single Harlequin, it deals 2 damage to a random enemy Agent. Not particularly dramatic.

But as you play each new Harlequin, the newly-played Agent's ability will fire AND the other Harlequins will activate their ability again.

Play two Harlequins, and each will deal 4 damage to random enemies.

Play four Harlequins, and all four will deal 8 damage to random enemies, for a total of 32 points of damage! And that's before damage boosting effects!

With the right timing, this can decimate your opponent.

Harlequins can be won as mission rewards, or purchased for credits in the Black Market.

(If you're playing from a pre-update save game, win a match in the Neon Arena, either practice or tournament, to unlock the Harlequins in the Black Market for purchase)

Happy Halloween, Runners!
