The vog-emitting decoy cargo is a tactical tool disguised as standard cargo, designed to incapacitate enemies through the release of a noxious gas.
Overview[]
This decoy cargo functions as a non-lethal trap, visually identical to normal cargo but rigged to release a disabling gas. When Sam is detected by a MULE scan—via their odradek or rod sensor—the decoy can be strategically dropped to draw enemy attention. Upon investigation, the cargo releases a cloud of vog that knocks out anyone in the immediate vicinity, including Sam if he’s too close. While highly effective for disrupting or neutralizing groups of enemies, it requires careful positioning and timing to avoid friendly exposure.
Description[]
An empty container with a fake ID tag that can be used to distract MULEs and others.
When destroyed, it emits a noxious gas, knocking out those nearby.

Notes[]
- The design data for the decoy cargo is given to Sam as a reward for reaching Connection Level 2 with the Elder.
- Vog exists as a type of air pollution formed when volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide react with oxygen and moisture in sunlight. It's a portmanteau for “volcanic smog.”
