grounding shunts is a lower cost feet exclusive cybernetic which grants the user a 50% resistance to electrical damage. This bonus is considered permanent and can stack with other sources of electrical resistance.

Advantages & Disadvantages

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

Advantages

• Useful against creatures who are capable of electrical damage such as electrofuges and quatravolt gliders.
• When electrical damage is encountered it's often in extremely high bursts, such as the deadly discharge of massed aloe voltas, having a 50% reduction to all electrical damage could be potentially lifesaving in that and similar scenarios.
• Low cost allows for installation with little impact on the user's ability to install additional implants.

Disadvantages

• Few enemies are generally capable of electric damage, limiting the usefulness of resisting it.
• rubbergum injectors especially when augmented with intravenous port provide a higher bonus (100 compared to 50) and generally last long enough to survive most instances of electrical damage. Provided the user is able to find enough of the tonic to use whenever needed.

Tips

Spoiler Warning: This article contains information normally only found in the course of advancing the main quest line.

• Makes both arc winders and high-voltage arc winders substantially safer to fire, allowing the user to shoot even pointblank targets with limited risk.
• Can be used to help lower the damage of the incredibly dangerous Irisdual Beam possessed by the Girsh Nephilim. The damage of the beam is equally split between 7 damage types including the 4 elemental resistances which are all calculated separately depending on the user's resistance to each. Meaning that all types of elemental resistance will provide at least a marginal reduction in damage taken.
