Even within Special Forces, where the average soldier might parachute through
enemy artillery fi re and infi ltrate an installation with just a knife between his
teeth, you are a super man. You hear the awe in their voices as you walk by in
your Nanosuit. They know you can do things others can’t: absorb a Shotgun blast
as if someone tossed a handful of gravel at you, fi nish a 100-yard dash while
Olympians have only barely made it out of the starting blocks, leap over tanks and
onto building rooftops—oh yeah, and become invisible.
The following pages present the basics of your Nanosuit and how to operate in
standard combat situations. The suit gives you superhuman powers so you may
compete with the island perils, but you’ll need the brain to match the brawn to
have any hope of survival.

Perhaps your most
impressive power
comes in the form
of your Cloak. The
Cloaking ability
literally makes
you invisible so
long as you have
energy available.
And that’s the key.
Stand still and you can remain invisible for a few minutes.
At a full run, however, you have less than 10 seconds
of sustained invisibility. Play around with the Cloaking
ability so you get a feel for when it’s going to give out on
you. If you aren’t in cover when you hear the warning that
you’re running out of energy, drop prone and crawl to your
cover spot. Your Cloak will last a lot longer this way, and
it’s more diffi cult for enemies to spot you when you’re
moving horizontally along the ground if you should suddenly
reappear.
