Adaptive Bone Marrow

Adaptive Bone Marrow is one of the Gene Mods in XCOM: Enemy Within.

Description[]

Wound recovery time is reduced by 66%. Soldier regenerates 2 HP per turn up to the HP max without armor.

Acquisition[]

This Gene Mod is automatically available after building the Genetics Lab as it is also unlocked with the Meld Recombination research.

Cost: ยง30, Meld15

Notes[]

  • Health recovery happens at the end of the XCOM turn. So badly wounded soldiers with this gene mod should be wary of enemies on Overwatch if attempting to retreat to safety.
  • The maximum health recovery excludes any "armor HP" provided by either body armor or items.
  • The recovery time reduction stacks with Rapid Recovery, allowing soldiers with this gene mod to return to duty even more quickly. In cases where manpower is critically short or the "Marathon" Second Wave option is in effect, this is a colossal advantage.
