Extra Info:
high-powered magnet

Iron fragments mottle its cankered surfaces.

Perfect

When applied to an item which:

  • Is made of metal
  • Weighs less than or equal to 100#
  • Does not have gesticulating
  • Does not have onboard power systems (such as from the Jacked modification)
  • Can be unequipped
  • Has been modded less than 3 times

A high-powered magnet will "magnetize" them, allowing them to be equipped in the "Floating nearby" equipment slot. Because applying magnetized to the item counts as a mod, items that can otherwise be magnetized cannot be if they already have 3 mods.

Notable Magnetizable Items

  • Carbide plate armor is the highest tier of standard armor that can be magnetized. It gives a high AV bonus at the cost of DV, and will add to your rather than averaging with your body armor defense since Floating Nearby is a different slot type.
  • Chassis plate (if Fitted with suspensors to negate its weight) can provide very high AV at a fairly small DV penaltiy. However, as a Gigantic item it will take two Floating Nearby slots to use.
  • Precision nanon fingers can be magnetized, with their effect chance benefits stacking additively with any copies worn on any regular hands. However, being floating prevents them from being Jacked.
  • High tier melee weapons and shields can be magnetized where armor of tiers above Carbide cannot. Two-handed melee weapons magnetize to use only a single Floating Nearby slot.
  • Most guns can be magnetized, but being floating prevents them from being Jacked.
  • Mechanical wings can be magnetized to provide flight from a Floating Nearby slot, as can Anti-gravity boots
