O-S Upgrades

O/S Upgrades are character stat boosts in System Shock 2.

In-Game

O/S Upgrades give the player special bonuses and abilities which are unattainable otherwise. They are only granted by the O/S Upgrade Machines, which are very rare, with only four of them throughout the whole game. Only one upgrade per Machine is possible. Installed O/S Upgrades are permanent, thus cannot be undone.

List of O/S Upgrades

Cyber-Assimilation: Allows the Soldier to always find a Diagnostic/Repair Module in wreckages of big (Maintenance, Security and Assault) Robots. The item heals 15 Hit Points when used.

Lethal Weapon: Increases melee damage by 35%.
