Modular Outerwear Devices, AKA MODsuits, are customizable hardsuits that support a variety of modules to assist the wearer. To manufacture and use one of these, you'll need to visit both Cargo and Robotics to gather up all the parts, put all of the parts together!
- Using a MODsuit
To use a MODsuit, place it on your backpack slot, where your satchel/backpack would normally go. You can also place items into the MODsuit as you would place them into a backpack, if it's equipped with a Storage Module. Deploy each part of the suit, and then activate it.
Charging a MODsuit.
If your MODsuit is operating on a standard core, enter a cyborg charger while wearing the suit to recharge it's cell. Eventually, you can also change it's cell.
If your MODsuit is operating on a plasma core, which is a standard for mining MODsuits, insert plasma sheets into the control unit.

Building a MODsuit
- Print out helmet, chestplate, gauntlets, boots, MOD shell, and armour from the Exosuit Fabricator.
- Order a MOD core from Cargo OR find a broken MOD core in maintenance and repair it with a screwdriver. Keep in mind, Robotics Lab also starts with one.
- Add core to shell.
- Screwdriver core to shell.
- Add helmet to assembly.
- Add chestplate to assembly.
- Add gauntlets to assembly.
- Add boots to assembly.
- Wrench assembly.
- Screwdriver assembly.
- Add external plating to assembly.
- Open modsuit panel with screwdriver.
- Insert a power cell.
- Close modsuit panel with screwdriver.
Plating Types
NOTE: The stats can be plugged into this formula to get the percentage of damage blocked. For instance, a score of 200 on melee means 80% of damage blocked for melee.
Modsuit Maintenance
Exchanging the Power Cell
- Use Screwdriver on the MODsuit central controller.
- Use Wrench.
- Re-insert the MODsuit core.
- Insert the Power Cell.
- Use Screwdriver.
Fixing Wiring
MODsuits wiring can malfunction after MODsuit is damaged by EMPs.
Possible Malfunctions include:
- Lack of response from the MODsuits functions.
- The User Interface becoming Dysfunctional until fixed.
In order to fix the wiring:
- Use a Screwdriver to expose the wiring.
- Hack using a Multitool or Wirecutters.
- Use a Screwdriver to hide the wires again when done.
- Do note the wire order in every single MODsuit is different.
Upgrading the MODsuit
Module Addition:
- Use Screwdriver on the MODsuit central controller.
- Insert modules of your choosing.
- Use Screwdriver.
Module Removal:
- Use Screwdriver on the MODsuit central controller.
- Use Crowbar to take the modules out.
- Use Screwdriver.
Modules
Module power drain is based on MODsuit's power drain.
For example, standard MODsuit drain value is 5. Keeping a visor on drains at a rate of 5•0.3

Thermal Visor Module |
1 | 0 | 0.3 | 0 | 15 TC | Lets you see living beings through walls. Also provides night vision. |
Night Visor Module |
1 | 0 | 0.3 | 0 | 5 TC | Lets you see clearer in the dark. |
Plate Compression Module |
2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10 TC | A module that lets the suit compress into a smaller size. Not compatible with storage modules, you will have to take that module out first. |
Anti-Slip Module |
1 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 5 TC | A module preventing the user from slipping on water. Already installed in the uplink modsuits. |
Heavily Modified Springlock Module |
0 | 0 | 0 | 5 TC | A module that spans the entire size of the MOD unit, sitting under the outer shell. This mechanical exoskeleton pushes out of the way when the user enters and it helps in booting up, but was taken out of modern suits because of the springlock's tendency to "snap" back into place when exposed to humidity. You know what it's like to have an entire exoskeleton enter you? This version of the module has been modified to allow for near instant activation of the MODsuit. Useful for quickly getting your MODsuit on/off, or for taking care of a target via a tragic accident. It is hidden as a DNA lock module. It will block retraction for 10 seconds by default to allow you to follow up with smoke, but you can multitool the module to disable that. | |
Hidden Holster Module |
1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 TC | A holster module disguised to look like a tether module. Gun not included. |
