EMP Shield

From The Nameless Mod

Nanoscale EMP generators partially protect individual nanites and reduce bioelectrical drain by cancelling incoming pulses.

Energy Rate: 10 Units/Minute

Canister details

EMP Shield is one of the options from an Augmentation Canister, together with Ballistic Protection. There are two canisters containing these in the game.

It takes up one of the two Subdermal slots. Alternatives are Ballistic Protection, Cloak and Radar Transparency.

Augmentation details

Assuming these values are the same as normal:

• Level 1: 25% absorption of EMP damage
• Level 2: 50% absorption
• Level 3: 75% absorption
• Level 4: 90% absorption

Usage and strategy

You'll come across EMP things more often if you're the sneaky character. Alternative routes don't have (many) guards, since there's an obstacle which hurts you instead, such as broken electrical equipment or spiderbots. You'll come across an EMP Grenade as well occasionally, but you should be able to disarm it quickly, or run away fast enough if thrown. If you're an up-front fighter and you lack the energy to keep your vital augs up, you're toast. The energy drain of this aug isn't much, so it may be worth investing in.
