Is there any bioware that enhances perceptions? Like a bioware version of Ofactory booster?

Cat's eyes give you low-light vision.  Reflex recorders can be used to enhance your Perception skill.  That's all I can find.

[Triskavanski]

Dang.. I know in 4th there is a couple of them in augmented.. but nothing on the level of a cyberware. I don't expect them to be able to do high end electronic stuff or matrix things, but its kinda sad.

Troll Eyes - I think these give thermal
Hearing enhancement - +1 to hearing checks, can hear low and high noises

Those seem to be the only other two I've found. I'm a bit saddened there isn't a bioware that increases scent based perception that I've found yet, and that the hearing enhancement doesn't have a rating at all.

Essentially I'm making a character and his brother or friend who has augmented himself several times to become more and more like a wolf. Right now I'm running olfactory booster and cyber ears for increasing my senses, but these are detectable and I recently found a quality that makes standard bioware into delta bioware.

I recently found a quality that makes standard bioware into delta bioware.

What quality is this?

[Triskavanski]

Type O system, Augmented page 20.

30 karma and it solely works on Standard Basic Bioware, not on Cultured.

[Novocrane]

There's a whole range of bioware for the senses in 4e - from Echolocation or Enhanced Pheromone Receptors (olfactory booster equivalent) to the more general Reception Enhancers.

[Triskavanski]

Ah i missed that.. and ick.

After reading the pheromone thing, its more expensive and less effective and mostly going to be screwing with you. It just is a little less essence cost. :/

And that limitation (Non cultured bioware) kinda makes spending 30 karma points on something that is already low essence that much less wanted

I got a desired SR4 build that needs several millions of nuyen less for its final Bioware setup with Type O system. Agility, Strength, Soak, Armor, B+A+R+S, less physical damage, more healing dice, and we're not even bothering with Charisma there.

Granted, in SR5 the value is less since it's a x4 instead of x10 for Deltaware. But in SR4 it's awesome.

[Triskavanski]

x4 not x10?

what does that mean?

[JackVII]

I believe it is the cost multiplier for delta grade bioware.

[Triskavanski]

Oh.. I thought it was 2.5x for deltaware.

[JackVII]

You're correct. I'm not sure where the x4 came from...

[Michael Chandra]

Ah, mixing things up. The base costs for Muscle Toner went x4 since SR4, and delta is still x10 compared to SR4 (but 2.5x the base SR5 price).
