Nexus is an ability in Deathloop that is available when the Nexus Slab is equipped. The Nexus Slab is dropped by Harriet Morse or may be randomly dropped by Julianna Blake.

Gameplay

The Nexus Slab links people body and mind. Anything that happens to one member of the network is experienced by all, from assassinations and shotgun blasts to the more esoteric effects of other Slabs.

Press L1 to hurl an imperceptible energy projectile at a group of enemies; it will burst on impact, linking anyone it comes in contact with.

Using Nexus depletes your Power by a segment. Links slowly continue to consume your Power while the ability remains active.

Upgrades

Nexus has four possible upgrades:

Attraction: Nexus projectiles home in on enemies until they become unstable.
Influence: Enemies affected by Nexus spontaneously create connections to others nearby.
Parasite: When someone affected by Nexus takes damage, you regain health.
Protraction: Nexus drains your power at a slower rate.

Tactical information

• Care must be used when using Nexus against an enemy Player.
  • As it constantly drains power and there is no way to voluntarily shut it off, it can leave you at a disadvantage. Players are also more likely to use paths not available to Eternalists, meaning that even with the Influence Upgrade you may not be able to create links between a Player and any eternalists.
  • This can completely deplete both health AND power if you use the Plasma Power trinket.
