What are MODsuits?

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!

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.

Modsuit Maintenance

Exchanging the Power Cell

1. Use Screwdriver on the MODsuit central controller.
2. Use Wrench.
3. Re-insert the MODsuit core.
4. Insert the Power Cell.
5. 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:

1. Use a Screwdriver to expose the wiring.
2. Hack using a Multitool or Wirecutters.
3. Use a Screwdriver to hide the wires again when done.

• Do note the wire order in every single MODsuit is different.

Wire	Effects	Pulsing	Cutting	Mending
Shock / Electrify (Orange Light)	Delivers an electrical shock to the person hacking the MODsuit.	Toggles shock mode for up to 30 seconds. Toggles the Orange Light.	Will shock anyone hacking the MODsuit until repaired.	Returns normal operation.
Disable (Red Light)	Malfunctions the MODsuit, making it sometimes unresponsive to button presses.	Malfunctions the MODsuit until the wire is cut and mended. Toggles the Red Light.	Malfunctions the MODsuit until the wires mended.	Returns the MODsuit to normal functionality.
ID Lock (Green Light)	Toggles the ID Lock on a MODsuit.	Toggles the ID Lock. Toggles the Green Light.	None	None
Interface Functionality (Yellow Light)	Toggles the MODsuits User Interface functionality on a MODsuit.	Toggles the User Interfaces Functionality. Toggles the Yellow Light.	Breaks the User Interfaces Functionality until the wire is mended.	Restores the User Interface Functionality.
Dud Wires	The remaining two wires in the MODsuit are duds and have no effect.	None	None	None

Upgrading the MODsuit

Module Addition:

1. Use Screwdriver on the MODsuit central controller.
2. Insert modules of your choosing.
3. Use Screwdriver.

Module Removal:

1. Use Screwdriver on the MODsuit central controller.
2. Use Crowbar to take the modules out.
3. Use Screwdriver.

Syndicate Modules

Modules that can be obtained through Syndicate Uplink.

Module	Complexity	Passive Cell Drain	Active Cell Drain	On-Use Cell Drain	Telecrystal Cost	Description
Thermal Visor Module	1				3	Lets you see living beings through walls. Also provides night vision.
Night Visor Module	1				1	Lets you see clearer in the dark.
Plate Compression Module	2				2	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				1	A module preventing the user from slipping on water. Already installed in the uplink modsuits.
Heavily Modified Springlock Module					1	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				1	A holster module disguised to look like a tether module. Gun not included.
