Combat Strength

Combat Strength is an arms slot augmentation in Deus Ex. It is a nanotechnological augmentation that improves the damage of eligible weapons, which include melee weapons in the low-tech skill class, throwing knives, and thrown grenades.

This augmentation can be installed into the arms slot using the augmentation canister that also includes Microfibral Muscle. Since there is only one arm slot, Combat Strength and Microfibral Muscle are mutually exclusive. The player must choose one or the other when installing into the arms slot.

This is an active augmentation that consumes 20 units of bioenergy per minute.
