Quasimorph Augmentations Guide: Implants, Bionics & Body Mods
Quasimorph's body-modification system replaces an operative's body parts with augmentations and installs implants into body slots. Trading stats against operational drawbacks turns clones into PMC units.
Mastering body mods is required for two achievements: I Never Asked for This (implants in every slot) and Ship of Theseus (augment every body part). This guide details all 9 body slots, stat matrices for Bionic, Quasimorphic, and Weapon-Limb augments, Magnum requirements, and build loadouts.

Augmentations vs. Implants: Core System Differences
- Augmentations: Mechanically replace body parts (Head, Shoulder, Hand/Arm, Thigh, Foot, Body/Torso, Chest, Stomach, Knee), granting stat shifts with negative trade-offs.
- Implants: Micro-chips inserted into body parts for active abilities (recharged at Recharge Stations) or passive stat boosts.
Key Rules and Mechanics
- Clone Death Wipes Upgrades: On death, installed augmentations and implants vanish. See extraction guide.
- Wound Disablement: Wounds disable implant bonuses on that part.
- Robotic Repair: Bionic parts require industrial toolkits to repair.
- Tissue Compatibility: Quasimorphic implants only fit organic tissue parts.
Fully augmenting a mercenary requires high credits. Never send fully modded mercenaries into high-risk runs without adequate armor — see combat guide.
The 9 Body Slots & Bionic Series Matrix
Every mercenary possesses nine customizable body slots: Head, Shoulder, Hand/Arm, Thigh, Foot, Body/Torso, Chest, Stomach, and Joint-Knee. Bionic augmentations fall into three series: Cyborg, Military, and Rubberized.
9 Body Slots Overview Table
| Body Slot | Compatible Modifications | Tactical Role |
|---|---|---|
| Head | Visors, Sensory Implants | FOV, Crit chance, Accuracy, Quasimorphosis suppression |
| Shoulder | Power Arms, Hydraulic Jacks | Melee damage multipliers, carrying capacity |
| Hand / Arm | Weapon-Limbs, Projectile Boosters | Ranged accuracy, scatter reduction, extra hits |
| Chest | Deflector Plates, Heart Enhancers | Resistance scaling, HP pool expansion |
| Body / Torso | Epidermal Armor, Internal Shielding | Damage mitigation, status duration |
| Stomach | Tox-Filters, Metabolic Converters | Infection/Poison immunity, calorie rates |
| Thigh | Hydraulic Legs, Sprint Actuators | Movement AP costs, dodge percentage |
| Foot | Rubberized Soles, Shock Absorbers | Stealth movement noise, knockback immunity |
| Knee | Deflectors, Regeneration Joints | Dodge chance, passive HP recovery |
Full Bionic Sets Attributes Matrix
| Series / Part | Slot | Primary Stat Buffs | Resistances & Perks | Trade-offs & Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyborg Head | Head | -1 Quasimorphosis growth | -10% Incoming Pain | -5 Max HP, -20 Shock Res, -10% FOV |
| Cyborg Leg | Thigh/Leg | -30% Weight Modifier | Knockback Immunity | Running disabled (Walk only) |
| Military Arm | Hand/Arm | +1 Projectile, +10% Accuracy | -30% Weapon Scatter | -10 Max HP |
| Military Leg | Thigh/Leg | +10% Dodge | +5 Blunt/Fire/Poison Res | Stealth disabled, +10% Weight Mod |
| Rubberized Leg | Thigh/Leg | Sprint mode costs 4 AP | +10% Accuracy | -10 Max HP, +20% Wound Chance |
| Rubberized Head | Head | +20% FOV, Normal detection | +15% Crit Damage | -25 Shock Res, -1 Vision Range |
| Spider Knee | Knee | Passive HP Regeneration | +5% Dodge | -10 Blunt Res |
| Bionic Lungs | Chest | -40% Calorie Consumption | +15 Cold Res | -10 Max HP |
Reducing Sprint movement cost to 4 AP with the Rubberized Leg is a core speed synergy. Combined with Athletics perks, it enables rapid repositioning. See our classes tier list.
Weapon-Limb Augmentations
Integrated weapon-limbs replace standard arms, occupying arm slots while providing direct weaponry:
Integrated Weapon-Limbs Matrix
| Weapon-Limb | Type / Class | Damage & Range | Primary Stat Buffs | Secondary Costs / Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digger | Melee Club | Heavy Blunt | +50% Melee Damage | -10% Weight Mod, +15% Wound Chance |
| Judge ABC | Assault Rifle | Ranged Ballistics | +10 Blunt/Pierce/Cut Res | 1 AP arm activation cost |
| Blade-23 | Cybernetic Blade | High Cut/Pierce | +10% Melee Accuracy | +20% Wound Chance, +1 Extra Hit |
| Ninurtagun | Quasimorphic Cannon | Thermal/Beam | +15 Beam Resistance | +2 Quasimorphosis per turn |
| Giant Hand | Organic Heavy Limb | Heavy Melee Impact | +15% Melee Dmg, +20% HP | -10% Ranged Accuracy |

Quasimorphic Augmentations & Organic Implants
Organic implants harvested from Quasimorphs grant stat bonuses while accelerating Quasimorphosis rates.
Quasimorphic Attributes & Unlock Matrix
| Implant / Augment | Slot | Primary Stat Buffs | Environmental Resistances | Quasimorphosis Cost / Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eye of Rarrug | Head | Enemy Detection, +40% Crit Dmg | +10 Entropy Res | +1 Quasimorphosis growth rate |
| Overgrown Muscles | Shoulder | +1 Extra Strike, +20% Melee Dmg | +5 Blunt Res | +10% Weight Modifier |
| Heart of Eitsekhor | Chest | +80 Max HP, +30% Outgoing Dmg | -50% Total Resists | Massive Glass-Cannon fragility |
| Armor of Igva | Chest | +8 All Armor Resistances | Defense Tanking | +20% Wound Chance |
| Skull of Amaxatli | Head | +100 Max HP Pool | +10 Fire/Cold/Entropy Res | +2 Quasimorphosis growth rate |
| Whisper of Euphos | Head | +20% Accuracy, +10% Dodge | +15 Mind/Entropy Res | +1 Quasimorphosis per turn |
| Mutated Hand | Hand | +10% Max HP | -30% Incoming Pain | Organic part requirement |
Stacking quasimorphic implants increases Quasimorphosis gauge buildup per turn, risking early Baron spawns. Refer to our Quasimorphosis survival guide and Baron boss guide.
