Abyssal filaments

Tier 1 filament: The info of the filament shows what the properties of the site it opens are. That it is a tier 1 filament can be seen by the one glowing stripe on the icon.

A filament is a kind of "key" that unlocks entry into Abyssal Deadspace. Filaments can be found in some Data Sites and also inside of some abyssal deadspace pockets. Within an abyssal deadspace pocket, there are five possible weather effects that affect both the player and NPCs. There are also seven possible difficulty levels, with increasing penalties applied in each tier. The type of weather effect is identified on the info of the filament, as is the tier/difficulty level of the filament. The level of the filament can also be identified by the number of glowing stripes on the icon. The bonus modifier of the weather is always 50% but the strength of the penalty varies by the level of the instance.

The seven levels of the abyss which dictate the strength of the penalty are outlined in this table below:

Level	Name	Appearance	Penalty Strength
0	Tranquil		-30% or -50%, random per site
1	Calm
2	Agitated
3	Fierce
4	Raging		-50% or -70%, random per site
5	Chaotic
6	Cataclysmic

The bonus and penalty effects found in each of the five weathers are as follows:

Weather	Penalty	Bonus
Electrical	-30/50/70% EM Resist	-50% Capacitor Recharge Time
Dark	-30/50/70% Turret Optimal and Falloff Range	+50% Maximum Velocity
Exotic	-30/50/70% Kinetic Resist	+50% Scan Resolution
Firestorm	-30/50/70% Thermal Resist	+50% Armor HP
Gamma	-30/50/70% Explosive Resist	+50% Shield HP
