stabilizer arm locks are a cybernetic implant which, when installed in an arm cybernetic slot, make the implanted creature more accurate with ranged attacks. Specifically, it reduces the implantee's aim variance by 3° when firing missile weapons. The bonus from multiple stabilizer arm locks stack if this implant is installed in both arms.

They are one of the starting implants available when creating a True Kin character.

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

  • Especially Useful during the very early game when ammunition is rare and missing a shot/running out of ammo could result in death.
  • Higher accuracy generally translates to an overall boost to per-turn damage output.
  • Provides a consistent benefit which can be utilized for most of the game.
  • Low cost allows for easy installation without much impact on the user's ability to install other implants.

Disadvantages

Tips

  • Noticeably synergizes with Bow and Rifle skills, many of the skills such as Suppressive Fire are dependent upon the target being marked and the shot actually connecting in order for the skill to take effect, the marked status however is removed regardless of whether the user successfully hits their target or not. Meaning that increased accuracy directly improves the usability and effectiveness of most of the skills.
  • The bonus to accuracy pairs well with the 40-tile vison range granted by the night vision implant, potentially enabling accurate, extremely long-range shots.
