Environmental Resistance

Environmental Resistance is a torso augmentation in ''Deus Ex. ''It is a nanotechnological augmentation that decreases the damage and effects of toxins.

This augmentation is installed from the augmentation canister that also includes Aqualung. Since there are multiple instances of this canister and multiple torso slots, it is possible to install both Aqualung and Environmental Resistance by using a second copy of the canister, provided that the necessary slots are available.

This is an active augmentation that consumes bioenergy at 20 units/minute.

Description
Induced keratin production strengthens all epithelial tissues and reduces the agent's vulnerability to radiation and other toxins.
 * TECH ONE: Toxic resistance is increased slightly.
 * TECH TWO: Toxic resistance is increased moderately.
 * TECH THREE: Toxic resistance is increased significantly.
 * TECH FOUR: An agent is nearly invulnerable to damage from toxins.

Effects
This augmentation provides resistance to the following damage types:


 * Poison/Poison Effect – Damage caused by tranquilizer darts and Greasel spits. Resistances also reduces the length of the poison effect.
 * Poison Gas – Damage caused by poison barrels.
 * Tear Gas – Damage caused by gas grenades and the pepper gun.
 * Halon Gas – This damage type does not harm the player, but resistance against it is provided.
 * Radiation – Damage caused by environment objects such as toxic waste barrels and toxic waste spills, and by Grays.

The amount of resistance depends on the tier level, as listed below. The function of this augmentation overlaps with that of hazmat suits, which provide resistance against the exact same damage types. If a hazmat suit is worn while Environmental Resistance is active, the resistances from both sources are applied successively. If a hazmat suit is worn while Environmental Resistance is active, the resistances from both sources are applied as sequential percentage reductions.
