Relic skills
1) Jailbreak:
- Unlocks new abilities for Arm cyberware: Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Projectile Launch System, and Monowire.
- You can overcharge the Projectile Launch System by holding the fire button. This launches a burst of five projectiles that cover a larger area.
- Attacking with Gorilla Arms now charges them up. When fully charged, a Strong attack would deal massive damage and create a shockwave that staggers nearby enemies. Doing so will send the enemies flying.
- Dismembering an enemy or performing a Finisher with Mantis Blades will charge the next Leap Attack. A charged Leap Attack with Mantis Blades has +30m longer reach and deals massive damage with a wide slash that hits the target and other nearby enemies. Killing enemies this way also dismembers them.
- The Monowire now has a dedicated slot for Control quickhacks. To use the installed quickhack, charge the Monowire first. When fully charged, release the attack to deal damage and upload the quickhack without RAM cost.
2) Machine Learning:
- Destroying an enemy's Vulnerability grants +10% frequency of new Vulnerabilities appearing and +5% Critical Damage against Vulnerabilities.
- The base duration for the effect is 25 seconds. The effect and duration can stack five times, and reaching max stacks doubles the effects.
Engineer build cyberware requirements
