C. Implants

Discover the C. Implants in System Shock (Remake)! Learn about BrawnBoost, LabAssistant, PsiBoost, and SwiftBoost implants and how they can enhance your stats.

Alright, let's talk about Implants in System Shock (Remake). These are pretty neat little upgrades you can slot into your suit to give yourself a permanent boost to certain stats. Think of them like passive buffs that are always on, but they do drain a little bit of your suit's charge over time. You'll want to keep an eye on that charge level, especially if you're running a lot of implants!

Here's a breakdown of the ones you'll likely encounter:

• BrawnBoost[TM] Implant — This one's for you if you want to hit harder. It bumps up your STR (Strength) by 1. It’s made by Crigon Manufactory and uses up 1% of your suit's charge every ten seconds. Apparently, it works by stimulating your muscles with electrical and magnetic impulses, bypassing all those pesky drug regulations.
• LabAssistant[TM] Implant — If you're focusing on research and hacking, this is the implant for you. It gives you a +1 to your research skill and also drains 1% of your charge every ten seconds. Crigon Manufactory makes this one too, and while it's not their most popular item, it's got a solid fanbase among graduate students.
• PsiBoost[TM] Implant — Need more psychic power? The PsiBoost implant increases your PSI (Psionic ability) by 1. Like the others, it costs 1% of your charge every ten seconds. It works by monitoring your neurotransmitter levels and keeping them optimized for peak brain function.
• SwiftBoost[TM] Implant — For those who want to be quicker on their feet and in their reactions, the SwiftBoost implant boosts your AGILITY by 1. It also drains 1% of your charge every ten seconds. Unlike implants that just focus on leg muscles, this one speeds up your entire body's reaction time. It's popular with athletes, but the military is still coming around to it.

Remember, each of these implants takes up one slot, so you'll have to make some choices about which boosts are most important for your playstyle. And always keep an eye on that suit charge!
