Overview

The G.R.I.P. OmniTool is a computerized multi-tool, mounted on the right forearm of your space suit. It provides a great deal of information, allows access to the game menu, and can even make a network connection to a device, to allow your suit to control in an emergency. Be advised that external devices can quickly drain your suit power when your G.R.I.P. is connected to them, so do so wisely! It also performs a number of useful functions you can access by pressing the 'Tab' key, and some functions can be accessed directly by pressing a hotkey. The home screen of the OmniTool has six functions, and additional function are nested within these as described below.
