Greetings Respondrs!
For this month’s update, we’re focusing on your feedback and ideas to update the Embr app and your tools, the essentials for you to make more money. Going forward, we’ll also be focusing on squashing bugs, so keep the feedback and bug reports coming!
Super Premium Tool Upgrades
- Jetpack Hose (Hose)
- $9,000 D 8
- Years after this hydro jetpack prototype failed to pass all safety tests during US military trials, Embr corporation purchased the manufacturing rights to augment their fire safety personnel’s mission capabilities, although it takes additional water to use.
- Quantum Sprinkler (Sprinkler)
- $12,000 G 10 D 7
- Previously thought to exist only at extremely small scales, our researchers were able to use quantum tunneling to allow water to spread through walls and at increased distances!
- Handheld Jet Propulsion (Axe)
- $20,000 G 15 D 10
- Originally an experiment in using rocket miniaturization technology to add more force to an axe swing, attaching the rockets to the other end of the axe allowed our Respondrs to fly at high speeds during their swings!
- Hypercharged Client Magnet (Trampoline)
- $10,000 G 10 D 7
- Experimental electromagnetic charges embedded in the trampoline can selectively pull clients in a cone above the trampoline directly to safety!
- Skeletal Reanimation (Healing Needle)
- $20,000 G 15 D 8
- Nanomachine based healing technology can reconstruct nearly 99% of human functionality with nothing more than a client’s bone marrow, reviving them from post mortal non existence. A power some would consider… unnatural.
