Suppression

The suppression mechanic represents the mental and physical stress during combat. The Suppression Resistance Bar represents your ability to withstand harmful effects. Incoming attacks will drain this bar and as you are losing points, penalties will start ot mount.

Suppression stages

Suppression Resistance can be regained by using the Inoculator or by getting into cover. Outside combat, it will regenerate on its own. Note that Medium and Elite enemies also have a suppression bar and they suffer similar penalties.

The penalties inflicted to the Medium and Elite enemies are displayed as icons below their suppression bar.
