Researched Neuromods[]

Researched Neuromods, or Typhon Abilities, only become available after acquiring the Psychoscope during the Detour objective. Scanning Typhon organisms with the Psychoscope gradually unlocks more abilities in these trees. The abilities you unlock tend to mirror the abilities of the Typhon species you scan.

Most researched Neuromods cost psi to activate, with the exception of passive abilities (like resistance).

Important:

Enabling two or more researched Neuromods causes Turrets to see you as a Typhon and target you. Hacking Turrets (requires Hacking II) can correct this.
Enabling two researched Neuromods additionally causes you to be periodically "hunted" by a Nightmare. These hunts appear on-screen as mission objectives (The Nightmare Is Hunting You), along with a 3-minute countdown timer. To accomplish the objective, either kill the Nightmare, or evade it until the timer expires. The Nightmare hunter will not enter Morgan Yu's Office, which makes it a good place to wait out the timer if you can get there quickly.
