Whatever the cyber abilities are supposed to do they ain't doing it for me.
All the scan thing did was make the screen red for like 5 seconds any time I tried using it. And yes I did try with enemies nearby, it made one marginally more visible in the fog.
The zappy hand meanwhile, the only times it worked was when I was checking if it works. Enemy nearby, refuses to fire.
So I end with non-functional gun and no batteries for whatever abilities there are, so quite softlocked.
What are the other ones supposed to be, no idea. The game doesn't really explain much in terms of how to use the abilities, unless it's somewhere in the tips which are rather badly implemented (I'd rather read a .txt with all of that than be looking at the tips cycling on top of the screen while playing).
No idea what you're supposed to do when a dude decides to run up to you and take all your shit, or if anything can be done.
Guess I'll try having another go and see if that goes elsewhere.
In terms of loot, I only ever found shit loot and sometimes decent ammo. Kinda expected there to be more loot around. I did avoid the emission zones again because I have no idea how prepared should I be for that.
