You are one of a new breed of UNATCO agents, gifted with biotech that allows increased abilities through special items called augmentations. Augmentations, along with Skills, Inventory and multiple solutions to objectives, help put Deus Ex into the RPG category. Within many of the missions, you'll come across augmentation canisters. Each canister must be installed at a medbot and contains one of two augmentations, both for a specific body part.

In addition to augmentations, there are augmentation upgrade canisters to be found in nearly every mission. Finding these is the only way to upgrade the effectiveness of your augmentations, but do not have to be installed at a medbot; they can be installed on the augmentation screen.

All augmentations (except IFF and the Infolink) consume bioelectric energy. Energy can be replenished by either using a bioelectric cell from your inventory, or finding a repair bot.

Augmentation Canister	Adds a new augmentation to your system.
Augmentation Upgrade	Update an augmentation that you have already installed, by one tech level.
Bio Electric Cell	Used to power your augmentations.

Below is a listing of all the augmentations:
