Neural heat dump
Neural heat dump is a level 2 psycast that drives pawns insane in its area of effect.
Acquisition
There are two ways to acquire Neural heat dump:
- A randomly selected level 2 psycast is granted to the psycaster when they gain psylink level 2. Neural heat dump is one of the options that may be selected. Note that this occurs regardless of how the psylink level is gained.
- Neural heat dump can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.
Summary
Analysis
 | This section is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Currently just a Copy-paste of minor tactics previously on Psycasts - needs verification, rewriting, formatting, and expansion. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
- Neural heat dump is good for burst-casting expensive combat psycasts such as berserk pulse, if you're willing to pay the price of putting a pawn out of action. Pacifists are a good choice if you don't need them to pull fallen allies out of battle.
- The side effect, putting a pawn into a coma for a day, can also be useful to save a pawn from getting mauled by animal revenge, to prevent a sick pawn from having a mental break while they are in bed, and in various other situations.[Mental break?]
