== Prosthetic Limbs == | ==Prosthetics and Implants== | ||
Surgery can augment the body by replacing and adding limbs, organs, and surgical implants. In many cases these are superior in functionality to what they are replacing, while in others they may be inferior. The use for these limbs, organs, and surgical implants are often narrow and specialized, such as the Angel Arm, which grants you tools ideal for a Paramedic, or the Forensics implant, which allows a Detective to carry out an investigation without carrying around obvious tools that would blow their cover. However, there are many that are more generically useful, such as the night vision Cyber Eyes, which allow you to see in the dark. | |||
Almost all cybernetic prosthetics are vulnerable to sources of EMPs, which cause short-term negative effects for those with cybernetic prosthetics and a small to moderate amount of '''shock''' damage. The more cybernetic prosthetics you have, the more damage you will take when in range of an EMP blast. | |||
=== Prosthetic Limbs === | |||
Prosthetic limbs can be installed by first removing the patient's existing limbs (if they have any) and then opening the torso to attach the limb. A left and right variant exists for all prosthetic arms and legs, with varying benefits or drawbacks for installing multiple limbs of the same type. This means you can have two prosthetic arms and two prosthetic legs, of either the same or different type. Prosthetic legs, unless otherwise stated, have a minor negative impact on the patient's sprint and walk speeds. | Prosthetic limbs can be installed by first removing the patient's existing limbs (if they have any) and then opening the torso to attach the limb.

Prosthetic organs can be installed by first removing the existing organs, then installing the prosthetic replacements in their place. Some prosthetic organs are inferior to their organic counterparts, but might be needed if materials to make them are more plentiful than cold bodies to source the organic organs from. As one might expect, you can only have one of each organ, so you can only choose one pair of augmented eyes, for example. | Prosthetic organs can be installed by first removing the existing organs, then installing the prosthetic replacements in their place.

== Surgical Implants == | === Surgical Implants === | ||
Surgical implants, not to be confused with inject-able implants, are implants that can be installed via surgery. Unlike prosthetic limbs and organs, there is no limit to the amount of surgical implants you can have, even of the same type. This means that you could, for example, have the Claws, Forensics, and Insulating implants all at once. Surgical implants provide a variety of benefits that are especially of use to those that don't wish to draw attention to themselves, as surgical implants are only obvious if you are already opened up for surgery. | Surgical implants, not to be confused with inject-able implants, are implants that can be installed via surgery.
