Implants

Implants are things that go into your head, with various effects:

• Stat implants will give you a specific boost to a stat.
• Functional implants allow you to do new things.
• Explosive implants (cortex bombs) are put into you by a corp, or jail to kill you whenever they so desire.

Dr. Nick in Injection Junction (IJ) in northeastern Freedom City is the only way to get implants installed. Give the implant to him, respond with a "yes", and he'll install it at a price that varies according to the price of the implant. Since he's Dr. Nick, he'll also slightly hurt you and cause bleeding. If you change your mind, but have already given him your implant, don't panic. He'll give it back to you before you leave his clinic.

Implants can be bought at the Enhancement Clinic in Corpclave, The Neo You in Maas Neotek, and Kowloon Wirehead in Botany Bay. You can wear as many as you want, but repeats are not allowed, and wearing more than four (corp discipline doesn't count) will give you regular ticks of stress.

Implants do not act like conventional items in that they are not protected by cocoons. They will be hackable from your corpse should you die, unless you have the Silicone Skin mutation. An easy way to get implants is to kill someone with implants. If you have implants installed, you shouldn't go tell everyone. Doing so is a good way to get killed and have your precious implants stolen by DRS forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B(

Implants will be destroyed if the unfortunate bearer dies an explosive death.
