Mechanics[]
The Basic version makes any guard, employee, or law enforcement traded count as one additional hostage.
The Aced version allows the heister to move up to a maximum of five hostages at once.
Strategy[]
The Basic Version of this skill is low cost and otherwise a bit low return. A skill like Trade Broker is much more effective at what the Basic version of this skill does, though the extra count does help with gathering consumables or negotiating before the first assault wave. However, the Aced version of this skill is helpful when used in tandem with skills like Insurance Plan, and otherwise getting any and all hostages to a safe/convenient place quickly.
