Black Market Mods
Black market biomods use illegal nanotech to create powerful modifi-
cations. Black market biomod canisters work just like standard canis-
ters. However, they can only be used to establish or upgrade black
market biomods. There is one and only one possible black market
biomod for each slot.
Standard biomod canisters cannot be used to upgrade black market
biomods.
Active and Passive Biomods
There are two types of biomods, active and passive.
Active biomods must be activated to use, and drain bio energy as long
as they are in use.
Passive biomods are always on. A passive biomod automatically acti-
vates when its effect is needed.
Active biomods can be activated from your HUD, or from the Biomod
Screen. In either case, highlight the biomod you wish to activate and
press A. To deactivate the biomod, highlight it and press A again.
Remember to deactivate active biomods when not in use, to save
bio energy.
Bio Energy
Bio energy is the electrical energy that powers your biomods. You
have internal bio energy “batteries” that must be recharged from an
external source when your reserves become low. Bio energy can be
recharged using repair bots or energy cells. Some biomods drain
your bio energy far faster than others. EMP attacks can also drain
your bio energy rapidly.
Biomod Screen
If you have an unused biomod canister in your possession you can
use it to establish or upgrade a biomod from your Biomod Screen.
The Biomod Screen is accessed with the
button.

BIOMODS
Biomods are modular nanotechnology implants that imbue you with
extraordinary abilities. They are your principal operational assets both
in and out of combat, as well as your main means of customizing
your character.
You have five assignable biomod slots corresponding with various
parts of your body. The light biomod is fixed in the sixth slot, and
cannot be upgraded or removed. Each additional slot can carry one
biomod at a time, and you must choose from three possible biomods
(two standard and one black market, see below) for each slot.
Standard biomod canisters can establish or upgrade any standard bio-
mod in any slot, and black market canisters can establish or upgrade a
black market biomod in any slot.
