Icarus Landing System (DXHR)

The Icarus Landing System is an augmentation in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Description
The Icarus Landing System allows you to land safely from any height by slowing your movement via an electromagnetic field emitted from the lower back, above the coccyx. It is not context-sensitive but will only activate when falling from ten meters or above. It does not require energy, and thus allows for quick escapes from enemies (as well as enabling shortcuts not otherwise possible), even when energy is depleted.

There are a number of locations that can only be accessed with this augmentation, usually in out-of-the-way areas. More often than not many enemies and/or security measures can be bypassed in this way, and often can find pocket secretaries with codes or even weapon upgrades when exploring these routes.

It is also useful in a more direct way; if Adam gets the drop on a group of enemies from above, he can brace himself and hit the ground causing enough force, in combination with the EM field, that will knock out most enemies/civilians at point-blank, and should stun (knockdown) enemies within close proximity.
