Memory Wipe (Tier 4) Refuses to Spread in Overclock - Unlucky, Skill Issue, or Is it a Feature?

[Dulberry]

Running around with a Raven Cyberdeck Tier 5+, I have 20 Int, Spillover, and Tier 4 Memory Wipe. I pop overclock, the gonks I'm looking at are gathered around a bar, I slot in Memory Wipe... And the apparent 50% chance from Spillover to spread quickhacks and the 15% from Raven Cyberdeck to spread quickhacks with its +100% spread range just refuse to upload it?

Am I doing something wrong, or is Memory Wipe just a thing that doesn't spread? Am I just unlucky? I know that for a quickhack to spread it has to be the only thing in a queue. I kept reloading saves, trying with Overheat, Sonic Shock, Reboot Optics, those spread.

I'm... Level 43, 20 Int, 18 Reflex, 15 Cool, my dump stats Tech Skill and Body are at 6. Build help would be appreciated, but I'm honestly stumped on what I could be doing wrong.

so, what I think they have done is connected memory wipe to connected NPC, it spreads np if they are connected through a runner, if not, no dice
They have serverely limited a netrunners ability to one shot entire missions, which is prolly a good thing, it can still work, but a netrunner always has to have a plan B these days, and perhaps C and D as well

Sounds feasible. Making stealth netrunning less of a nuke and something you HAVE to slow down to do make sense, and one that I enjoy, but I guess I was trying to "Morgan Blackhand" netrunning. Are there any other knockout combos for netrunning?

Thanks, by the by.

This is not a combo, but the ultimate quickhack 'System Collapse' knocks out enemies with no further trace and such.

I'm also a netrunner, but have never tried this spreading of quickhacks (sounds a bit cool!), so not sure if it works. I use it sometimes on single enemies.

Good to know that Memory Wipe does not spread, by the way, before I try the Raven deck

once you can combo memory wipe, optics, sonic shock, it is the same, no one shot, but still just merlin who drops everything without so much as shaking a fist
But you might be insprired to actually shot these things. and find you are better at it than you thought, and still did not break stealth
