Visual Jamming Device

The Visual Jamming Device is a compact piece of SecUnit technology that projects a field rendering the user visually undetectable to standard cameras and most organic eyes, though it leaves thermal and audio signatures. Introduced in Fugitive Telemetry, it becomes one of Murderbot's signature tools for stealth operations, allowing the rogue SecUnit to slip through corporate stations, habitats, and hostile environments without triggering security feeds. Over the series it evolves from a simple tactical gadget into a symbol of Murderbot's growing independence, frequently upgraded or paired with other hacks like governor module overrides and drone swarms. Its limitations—such as power drain and incomplete coverage—force Murderbot to combine it with social engineering and raw SecUnit combat prowess, underscoring the character's blend of machine efficiency and anxious improvisation.
