Most Soma categories make heavy use of RNG manipulation sequences (commonly called "manips") to guarantee that specific items always drop from certain enemies. This allows runners to use utilize routes which would otherwise require impossibly low drop odds to succeed.
= Overview =
Whenever a new game is started or a save file is loaded, the RNG seed will always be reset to the same value. From that point, a runner can perform movements and actions which deterministically advance the RNG value to one that produces the desired drop.
Julius mode is unable to make use of perform manips since , as it has no method to suspend and reload the game.
