Prawn Suit (Subnautica)

The P.R.A.W.N. Suit (Pressure Re-Active Waterproof Nanosuit) (Mk.III) is a vehicle. It is a powered suit of armor, designed for use in both the deep-sea and space - capable of affording protection to a pilot whilst maintaining maximum dexterity with hydraulic limbs and a reinforced canopy. It is however not directly worn - rather it is a large frame that can be piloted in a seated position. Unlike the other vehicles of the game, the Prawn Suit walks along the ocean floor, only using thrusters to move vertically.

The Prawn Suit has its own beacon, similar to that of the Cyclops and Seamoth. The upgrade panel can be found on the top left of the Prawn Suit.

A 3D model of the Prawn Suit can be found on Sketchfab.

Overview
The Prawn Suit requires two power cells to operate. The user is able to dock the Prawn Suit into the Cyclops and the Moonpool. The Prawn Suit can be used to explore dark and/or deep places. The Prawn Suit has a base crush depth of 900 meters, and a fully upgraded crush depth of 1700 meters, making it the best deep exploration vehicle. However, due to its limited vertical mobility, it may be wise to use a Cyclops to transport the Suit, as certain biomes may be quite difficult for it to get out of on its own, such as the Blood Kelp Zone or Underwater Islands.

Upon entering the Prawn Suit, the player's oxygen stores will be replenished - unless the Prawn Suit is depleted of energy, as is the case with the Seamoth and the Cyclops. In this case, the oxygen will slowly run out until the point where the player is losing oxygen within the Prawn Suit itself.

The Prawn Suit has a health meter - reaching zero will cause the Prawn Suit to malfunction catastrophically and explode. Unlike the Seamoth however, the Prawn Suit is heavily armored and can endure most things that would otherwise severely damage or destroy a Seamoth, such as a Reaper Leviathan's grip.

Four Prawn Suit fragments can be found in the Aurora's Prawn Bay, and in various Wrecks. The Aurora's fragments count for 25% of a blueprint, whereas wreck fragments (not including arm upgrades) count for 5%.

Alternatively, the Prawn Suit can be used on land for exploration of dangerous areas. (Keep in mind that the Prawn Suit is not as mobile on land. The thrusters are nearly useless, even if you have the Prawn Suit Jump Jet Upgrade.) As the suit is immune to heat and poison (though not direct contact with lava), the Prawn Suit is also great for collecting resources in hazardous areas such as near Lava Geysers, or collecting Gas Pods, or for simple protection against most low-to-mid tier predators.

The Prawn Suit comes equipped with a 6x4 inventory space by default without upgrades, accessed from outside in the rear. Any items picked up with the claw arm are automatically placed in the Suit's inventory if there is room. Bear in mind though that there is a slight delay between clicking and activating the respective claw arm on the suit, so a player may accidentally punch a creature they are trying to collect, or miss a falling item.

How to Use

 * 1. and  to use the arms.  for the left arm, and  for the right arm.


 * 2. for jump, hold for the thrusters. Note: The thrust will recharge after using it.

Upgrades and Customization
The Prawn Suit can be customized with the Vehicle Modification Station. The console will allow the Prawn Suit to be named and its colors to be changed.

Unlike the Cyclops and Seamoth however, the Prawn Suit has six upgrade slots as opposed to just four. Two of the slots are restricted to arm upgrades, and can be identified by their purple colour.
