Implants in The Surge are used to increase the Stats of the player as well as provide new abilities or bonuses. A max of 8 Implants can be slotted when the game is first started, with half of them locked, and these slots unlock as you upgrade your Core Power, with additional locked slots being added when you upgrade your Exo-Rig. Each Implant also requires a certain amount of Core Power in order to equip, so you will have to balance between using more powerful Implants or using more powerful Armor, since Armor also requires Core Power. There are more powerful versions of the same Implant, so if you find one you really like, odds are you can find a better version of it later in the game. Some Implants even stack.

      A great tip for using implants to heal yourself insanely quick WHENEVER you're low on health, PASSIVELY. You need these 2 implants (preferably as high Mk. as possible) - Medi-Voltaic Regulator - SNS Disinhibitor The way it works is that the first one gives you a +% health per hit instead of energy whenever you're low on health, the second boosts energy gain by +100% when low on health. Combine those 2 together and the +100% energy gain TRANSFERS to health gain also, so you heal insanely fast. Tested on my char, with only the Medi-Voltaic I got about 1/6th or 1/8th of my health back per hit, with both, I got around 1/4th of it back, and since the "HP instead of energy" buff activates below a certain threshol and lasts for a set amount of time, if you can score some 4-5 hits while it's active, you'll get nearly your full HP back. Especially useful when facing bosses, and takes up only a small portion of your Core Power.

        Am I missing a page here?? What about Aggrssion Amplifier, Auti-aid, Ancillary Core & Core XL, Medi-Voltic v.1 v.3 & v.5, SNS Disinhibitor v3 & v.4?

          There is supposed to be a SNS Disinhibitor v.1 but it seems bugged.
          Just after you face your very first ARMORED Proteus, it is laying on the ground just after the next left turn, a bot comes by and scoops it up.
          When you kill the bot you can keep attacking the box part of its body and when it breaks open (assuming it didn't despawn into the wall) you can pick up the v.1 implant but it will not stay in your inventory for long and each time you reload the area, that bot will drop it again, and again, and again, but you never get to keep it

            Could anybody tell me where you find the "Orientation Implant", which grants +100% energy gain and costs 0 core power...? I didn't find it in my NG run and this thing sounds a little bit OP to be real... (compared to the Voltaic Dynamo implants)

              would be cool if someone would sort this table and provide the missing pictures, its really unordered and confusing

                How do you use the different types of implants such as hot swap or injectables? I know hard wired is passive but the other types aren't covered in how they activate.
