translucent skin is a lower-cost cybernetic implant that upon installation grants the user a +2 bonus to their DV, this boost is considered permanent and is roughly equivalent to having 4 additional points of Agility. The bonus stacks with another installed copy of itself or the higher-tier transparent skin along with any other DV-boosting piece of equipment such as elastyne skin suits.

Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages

• Provides a sizeable boost to DV without taking an equipment slot.
• Additional DV is at least somewhat useful during most stages of the game.
• Fairly low cost.
• Dv is difficult to increase otherwise without significantly boosting agility or wearing equipment with low-AV values.

Disadvantages

• Focusing too heavily on DV at the expense of AV can lead to nearly instant death when a hostile creature is able to successfully land an attack.
• Becomes less impactful during later stages of the game when the DV penalties from armor aren't as substantial.
• Once the user has a decent amount of gear, it's generally (though not always) better to use it to boost DV rather than taking up a finite cybernetics slot.

Tips

• Can be used with lower agility or heavy armor-wearing characters to improve survivability.
• Can be usefull for traveling in areas which are likely to spawn potentially dangerous ranged enemies such as the laser turrets and low-light laser turrets of the ruins or the rifle turrets and chaingun turrets commonly found in the flower fields.
