The Grid appeared first in Silicon Valley. They are an aggressive force of EGO constructs that are able to infect cybernetics and control the individual attached. They can also manifest as hard-light entities once the host is killed, or operate independently of a host all together. They possess devastating energy weaponry and their true goals remain a mystery.
The Grid are a novel species in Paradise. Their origin and motivations are unknown. They are hostile to all known factions.
Grid will most likely be your introduction to the Contracts system and also feature in the Story Arc you will unlock later in the game.
