SHELL REPAIR[edit]
HEALTHY SHELL, HAPPY RUNNER:
Like any human body, a SHELL requires care and maintenance to properly function and, more importantly to RUNNERS, to allow it to be pushed to the limits of its operational capabilities. Luckily, there are a number of repair items available for RUNNERS to purchase, scavenge, or steal that allow you to mend, cleanse, or reboot your damaged SHELL:
*PATCH and PANACEA KITS are specifically crafted to deliver targeted healing to both organic and technological systems. The modern RUNNER has the benefit of all those who have tried and failed before them, and the specialized combination of med-industry science and RUNNER back-channel kit-bashing to thank for the effectiveness of the current generation of SHELL repair tech.
*SHIELD CHARGES are as vital as any tool in a RUNNER's arsenal. Protecting your SHELL protects your mind, your body, your loot, and your ability to stay in a fight.
*MECHANICAL KITS [MCH] and OS DEBUGS [OS] target specific concerns related to hardware and software corruption. Timely application restores SHELL functionality and combats hazardous effects that threaten your survival effectiveness if allowed to linger.
*SELF-REVIVE KITS are life savers. Maybe evident in the simple clarity of their label, but these will get you out of DOWN BUT NOT OUT [DBNO] when there are no crewmates available to administer critical system repairs.
A robust inventory of support items gives RUNNERS access to immediate repair solutions to keep them on their feet and running.
All SHELL-based maintenance and repair items should be considered vital in a RUNNER's loadout. A healthy SHELL helps you compete for survival as much as any weapon. Remember this for yourself and your crew.

SHIELDS. Never forget your SHIELDS.
