Implants

You can enhance the abilities of your character by implanting items into it's body. However it is important to note that you cannot have the same implant put into your runner more than once! Implants lose condition as you fight in the wastelands, and eventually have to be repaired. Furthermore, if you die, implants may randomly "pop out" of your character and will have to be put back in.

There are a total of 13 implant slots in the game, and they are distributed as follows:

• 4 Brain implant slots
• 5 Bone enforcement slots
• 1 Eye implant slot
• 1 Heart implant slot
• 1 Glove/Hand implant slot
• 1 Spine implant slot

Generally, most implants tend to give boosts to specific skills and attributes while taking points away from other skills and attributes. There are some exceptions to this, however.

Implanting your Character

There are two ways to get your character implanted with implant items found in the game. You can either implant the item into your character yourself, or you can have someone else use a remote implant tool on you.

Implanting is commonly known as poking in-game.

To "poke" yourself, you must have at least the same number of points in your implant skill as the tech level of the implant you want to poke into your body. For example, a tech level 5 implant requires an implant skill of 5 to be poked in.

Beyond tech level 30, you will also require packets of Implant Disinfection Gel:
