Respirator Implant (EU2012)

Description

We can fabricate a module that will automatically detect chemical and physical threats to a soldier's oxygen supply, and deploy uncomfortable but potentially life-saving oxygen tube shunts in a matter of seconds. This module will fit all of XCOM's armor designs.

Confers immunity to poison and Strangle
Confers 2 extra health

Notes

Research Required	Seeker Autopsy
Base Costs	§35, 5 Engineers
Abilities/Stats	See Description

After Titan Armor is developed and deployed, this device is still useful with Psi armors. Even with Titan Armor you may want to bring it for the extra 2 Health Points it provides.
- Thus, they supercede Nanofiber Vests in utility. Particulary on harder difficulties, it may be more cost-effective (and quicker) to skip vests and go for the Implant first, especially in light of Seekers being able to sneak attack past the starting armor's +1 health, putting your soldiers into recovery time, and the many Thin Men you'll be facing (and be at risk of poisoning from) for a while.
