This page is for the first-person shooter reboot. For the original 1993 game, see Syndicate.
Key points
- Game lacks PC-specific features like text chat, push-to-talk microphone and FOV customization. However, the FOV can be hacked.
Availability
- All versions require Origin DRM and utilise SecuROM 8 DRM for file consistency checking.[1]
- Limited Edition comes with the Executive Package DLC, which includes content for co-op missions:
- Solid cold versions of co-op guns, and attachments
- Gold dart chip and vision
- Executive gold Syndicate logos
Essential improvements
Advanced Config Tool
- SynAdvCFG is an advanced config tool which can adjust many configuration settings. Beware that using it will reset graphics settings to default.
Syndicate DeBloom
- Syndicate DeBloom is a HelixMod fix that removes the game's overbearing bloom effects, and as a side effect, disables the blue colour correction.

- There is also an
Environment.cfg
file located in the <path-to-game> .Do not modify this version of the file, and especially do not delete it. It seems to be used for default settings, and the game will crash if it is not present.

Field of view (FOV)
- Using a modified FOV for online play is not recommended.
- Modified FOV doesn't scale well with Iron-sights.
- Using this hack may result in game's not being able to save its settings and campaign progress on Windows 10.

Issues unresolved
Crash when joining COOP
Sometimes a game crashes when joining a COOP game. Possible solutions include disabling Third-party overlay software like FRAPS or Steam. Other solution is disabling voice input and output in audio settings of a game. Both solutions seem to reduce an amount of game crashes, but none fixes it fully.
Falling through the ground
- Some players experience a bug where they fall through the ground on the mission Downzone, particularly after the scripted event where they leave the vehicle.

Save file[citation needed] |

One possible workaround is using a save file which unlocks all chapters. As soon as the player jumps out of the vehicle go immediately into dartmode and try to climb up (Do not spent any points into upgrades!) This should lead to a soft landing onto the ground. This workaround however can only be used with chapter select, since the "Continue Campaign" option will always start at the final checkpoint. |
Issues fixed
