Prey: All Neuromods and What They Do

All Neuromods in Prey

There are a lot of Neuromods in Prey. These are essentially different stat buffs and abilities that you can apply to Morgan in order to give yourself an edge while exploring the Talos-I space station. There are a lot to choose from, though they aren’t free and you’ll need to collect Neuromod injections to unlock them. Below, you’ll find every single one available, along with their cost (in parentheses) as well as a quick description of what they do for you.

Scientist Neuromods
