Heatsinks are now viable as soon as they are deployed on Portals, enabling Hacking on burnt out Portals immediately. In addition, with exceptional improvements to Portal cooling after deployment, the new Heatsink Mod will allow an additional four (4) Portal Hacks in the first four (4) hours following its deployment.
Summary:

- With every deployed Heat Sink the functionality of the Heat Sink drops by half.
