Environmental Resistance
Advantages
This is another low cost aug that can be left on a lot of the time. Having it turned on beforehand will block the vision wavering effects of poison or gas, and greatly reduce the damage from gas clouds and dart poison. This is a great one against players too fond of the crossbow. It works well in conjunction with gas grenades. You can throw one into a room and then charge in and start shooting. In this respect, it acts much like a flashbang does in other multiplayer games.
Disadvantages
Turning this aug on after your vision is already wavering will not remove the effect, though it will still block most of the poison damage. Another aug that is only useful in very specific situations.
Opposing
Players blithely wandering through gas clouds are easy to spot as using this aug. Once you notice that, simply don't bother with the crossbow or more gas attacks and switch weapons.
