Aggressive Defense System

From The Nameless Mod

Aerosol nanoparticles are released upon the detection of objects fitting the electromagnetic threat profile of missiles and grenades; these nanoparticles will prematurely detonate such objects prior to reaching the agent.

Energy Rate: 10 Units/Minute

Canister details

Aggressive Defense System, or ADS, is one of the options from an Augmentation Canister, together with Spy Drone. There are three canisters containing these in the game.

It takes up the Cranial slot. The alternative is Spy Drone.

Augmentation details

ADS has a few features.

Incoming rockets and grenades are detonated prematurely before reaching you, making them do less to no damage, or even damaging the enemy firing the rocket. Unfortunately, plasma is now unaffected.

Grenades set up as mines show up when ADS is activated. Both the location and distance are shown, and if you get close enough, they detonate automatically.

Every level increases the distance between you and the projectile before ADS is activated, allowing incoming projectiles to be detonated further away from you.

Usage and strategy

A useful defensive augmentation. The energy rate is low and it protects you from all sorts of explosives and grenades. In up-close battles, an enemy throwing a LAM will most likely die because it instantly detonates the moment it is thrown, but you have to make sure you are not close enough yourself, or you'll die as well. You'll also rarely be killed by mines, since they explode before you get too close to them.

It is recommended to take at least level 2, since that renders you invulnerable to most projectiles. Level 1 is a bit too close usually. Level 4 is useful when you want enemies to blow themselves up.
