Optical camo, when and where?

[damion.ord]

Is optical camo available in act 1? I use it to do that gig where you bug a car and am wondering what level / street cred do I need and if its available.

I think its a perk in the tech/engineering tree now

no its a cyberware I think. But I dont think its that useful in act 1, it should only net you -30% visibility at that stage

It`s pretty weak I think, at least the first version that I`ve seen (a T2). As Quell said -30% visibility with, iirc, something like 8 sec duration with 1 minute of cooldown...

There are two perks related to Optical Camo in Cool. As far as I understand they both work having the Optical Camo cyberware. One gives you bonuses for taking down an enemy while using it, the other activates Optical Camo automatically when crouching but only drain its duration when sprinting or sliding, this one pretty cool tbh xD

But again, if I understand correctly you still need to have the Optical Camo cyberware, which depending of its quality I guess it might add better counter visibility effect and/or add more duration and/or reduce its cooldown.
