BALLISTIC AMMO............RELOAD WEAPON
Coordinating the arms of mercenary and corporate forces during the Great Uprising had WCG researchers scrambling to solve their logistical problems.
Their solution was modular, generic casings and projectiles loaded with mission-specific ordnance payloads. "Blank bullets" allowed modular components to adapt and reload any ballistic weapon on the battlefield.
Hint:
Reloading a weapon takes time:
Plan accordingly.
cell
ENERGY CELL.................RELOAD WEAPON
Governments and markets welcomed the emergence of the World Coalition Government, or were crushed beneath it.
As hostilities subsided the WCG began to standardize "fundamental technical elements" across all market regions.
The ubiquitous Energy Cell has replaced all other portable power sources.
| The manual has a differently-phrased hint: Hint: The short span of time needed to reload can be all an enemy needs. Find a safe haven to reload in. |

hypo
HYPO SPRAY.................RECOVER HEALTH
Hypo Sprays deliver stimulants, analgesics and active neuro-biological reinforcing elements through a sub-dermal injector.
The solution takes time to act on the body: further shocks while it is active reduce the Hypo's maximum healing potential. Even a few hits will cancel the effect altogether. Multiple Hypos can be activated at once to extend the maximum healing range.
Hint: Hypo near full health for temporary

PHASE CLOAK....TEMPORARY INVISIBILITY
The Phase Cloak agitates the user's molecules out of the visible light spectrum. The effect only lasts for 30 seconds: any longer and the user might suffer irreversible cellular damage.
A weakness of the cloaking effect is that the wearer becomes visible for a moment during physical contact with non-phased bodies.
| The manual has a differently-phrased hint: Hint: The 30 seconds begin immediately upon picking up the cloak. |
Hint:
30 seconds begins upon pickup:
Plan accordingly.
shield
FORCE SHIELD................BULLET BARRIER
The Force Shield surrounds the body of the wearer and absorbs the impact of any projectile that strikes it.
The Shield can only absorb a limited amount of punishment before it collapses; as it grows weaker its intensity fades.
Hint:
Picking up a shield will cause you to discard your current shield forever.

RAPPELLING HARNESS..........................
Used to anchor workers to the access scaffolds high above the repair bay floor.
