The built-in air-filtration system allows the suit to utilize hull oxygen when possible, and the built-in computer injects the user with whatever medicine is placed inside the suit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The PUCS is an outerwear suit that provides Oxygen, protects against attacks, and protects against High Pressure. The PUCS is an upgrade over the Combat Diving Suit, with significantly increased radiation, husk, and burn protection, at the cost of slightly lower physical protection and marginally reduced movement speed. It can be crafted by an Engineer with the Ph.D in Nuclear Physics talent unlocked.
Function
The suit allows the player to breathe while underwater when an oxygen supply is provided. Unlike other Diving Suits, the PUCS will not drain oxygen from the tank while in an oxygenated room, and thus can safely be used without an oxygen supply, as long as the player does not enter water. It also protects the player from the pressure of the ocean, allowing them to exit the submarine and enter rooms that are pressurized due to breaches. The maximum depth of the suit is increased somewhat over regular diving suits, allowing the player to safely reach up to 6,000m in depth.
Players wearing a PUCS move 10% slower and have greatly reduced field of view. PUCS lowers the thrust of Underwater Scooters by 10%.
The PUCS has a slot that can contain a single medical/chemical item, similar to the Auto-Injector Headset, which is automatically used on the wearer when they reach or drop below 50% vitality. If wearing both auto-injector headset and PUCS, both will use their item simultaneously upon reaching the threshold. Auto-injecting an item bypasses the medical skill check for it and the wearer will always receive the maximum benefit of the item as if the check was passed, regardless of its skill requirement and the wearer's medical skill.
The PUCS has a light which illuminates a small area in front of the player, this light will be on as long as the player is alive.
The PUCS can be stored in a Diving Suit Locker.

Trivia
The PUCS is likely a reference to the HEV (Hazardous Environment Suit) of the Half Life franchise. Similarly, the talent that unlocks the suit, Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics, references the protagonist of Half Life 1 and 2, Gordon Freeman. Gordon is a nuclear physicist who almost exclusively wears a specialized suit throughout the games and wields his signature crowbar, hence the 140% buff to crowbar attacks.
