Deus Ex - How soon can I get the level 3 hackign mod?

[glen]

I am not sure I understand all this, but are some mods legal and others illegal?
Are the first 2 hackign mods legal, but the third one is black market?

There are two types of mod upgrades.

Standard (Blue) and Blackmarket (Red).

Blue ones can be found at laboratories, Tarsus, WTO facilities.

Red ones can be found at some laboratories, some Tarsus facilities, and from the Omar.

The first two standard mods in that particular slot are not as useful as the third one w/c is the blackmarket hacking mod.

Each mod can be upgraded to 3 levels.




Spoiler at the bottom.
















The first blackmarket upgrade you can get is in the Seattle Tarsus facility.

Yeha I got that one. I think the hacking mod is the most useful. DO I need 3 "black market" ones to get level 3 hacking or cna I mix 2 legit and one black market one?

you can only use black market ones for the blackmarket skills (i.e. hacking, bot domination, etc). So you will need 3 black market biomods to reach level 3 in hacking.
