Cybernetic Leg Prosthesis returns as an augmentation in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Unlike its predecessor in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, all quiet enhancements (like sprint and jump) have been combined into one upgrade.
Description
- The Cybernetic Leg Prosthesis replaces the user's legs with enhanced-function mechanical substitutes.
- In place of organic musculature, these limbs utilize myomeres (spun carbon nanotubes activated with electric fields) that function similarly to human muscle, though with superior strength and endurance.
- Additional functionality, including enhanced jump height and the ability to move without audible detection becomes possible as the user mounts and enables various upgrades to the prosthesis.
- A cybernetic leg, granting improved stamina, strength, and stability.
- Activation cost: 2 Praxis
- Activation: passive
- Energy consumption: None
Upgrades
Klipspringer Jump Mod
- The Klipspringer Jump modifier increases myomere density and activates a shock-absorbing gel matrix on the knee joints and hip mounts. This allows the user to make standing high jumps of up to three meters.
- Leap to extraordinary heights.
- Upgrade cost: N/A
- Activation: passive
- Energy consumption: None
Leg Silencers
- The Cybernetic Leg Prosthesis is a relatively noisy augmentation. The servo-motors that provide movement, as well as the moving parts in the knee, ankle, and hip joints, produce a fair amount of noise.
- The Leg Silencer add-on eliminates all mechanical noise while walking and running, through the activation of sound-dampening hardware, ferrofluid gel surrounding the joints, and mechanical code improvements.
- Move silently when walking, running, or landing.
- Upgrade requirement: Klipspringer Jump Mod
- Upgrade cost: 1 Praxis
- Activation: manual
- Energy consumption: Medium
Trivia
- The Klipspringer Jump Mod icon appears to be a reference to Mario.
- Although the augmentation is supposed to be unisex, in Mankind Divided, Jensen has high-heels structure on his feet.
- The klipspringer is a small antelope found in eastern and southern Africa.
- Klipspringer means “rock jumper” in Dutch.
- Real-life Klipspringers jump to around 7.62 meters or 25 feet. Unfortunately, Jensen can only jump to 3 meters or 9.84 feet.
- This is the only augmentation that belongs to "Feet" augmentation slot.
- Unlike Cybernetic Arm Prosthesis, this augmentation is initally fully locked. Cybernetic Arm Prosthesis has itself and an upgrade unlocked from early game.
- Unlike Cybernetic Arm Prosthesis, Cybernetic Leg Prosthesis houses no other augmentations other than Klipspringer Jump Mod and Leg Silencers.
- Jensen can still use his legs normally even when this augmentation is still fully locked.
Notes
- Moving faster consumes more energy.
