Appearance
The icon for the Fake Contacts depicts a pair of contact lenses with black irises and pupils shaped like the Tentatek logo. However, this does not affect the wearer's appearance or lack thereof in any way, effectively allowing them to not visibly wear headgear while still having abilities in the headgear slot.
