UPGRADE, AUGMENT AND OVERCOME... Each conquered zone you earn presents an opportunity to fine-tune your cybernetic enhancements, ensuring you are better equipped to face the escalating challenges ahead. Choose between four distinct augments to bolster your operative for the trials that lie beyond... however, tread carefully in this high-stakes environment, as the loss of life translates to the forfeiture of all your hard-earned augments.
