Speed Enhancement

Speed Enhancement is a legs slot augmentation in ''Deus Ex. ''It is a nanotechnological augmentation that increases movement speed, increases jump height, and reduces falling damage.

This augmentation is installed from the augmentation canister that also includes Run Silent. Since there is only one legs slot, Speed Enhancement and Run Silent are mutually exclusive options.

Description
Ionic polymeric gel myofibrils are woven into the leg muscles, increasing the speed at which an agent can run and climb, the height they can jump, and reducing the damage they receive from falls.
 * TECH ONE: Speed and jumping are increased slightly, while falling damage is reduced.
 * TECH TWO: Speed and jumping are increased moderately, while falling damage is further reduced.
 * TECH THREE: Speed and jumping are increased significantly, while falling damage is substantially reduced.
 * TECH FOUR: An agent can run like the wind and leap from the tallest building.

Effects
Speed Enhancement is an active augmentation that consumes 40 units of bioenergy per minute.

When activated, this augmentation increases ground speed and jump height by 20% per tier and reduces falling damage by 15 per tier. Since this augmentation increases movement speed while crouching and JC is completely silent when crouched, this augmentation emulates some of the characteristics of Run Silent.

It also allows JC to damage or kill enemies and destroy certain objects by jumping on top of them. This method is very unconventional and difficult to use, but can be handy if JC is out of ammo and has no other way of attacking an enemy or opening a crate.
