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, affording protection to a pilot whilst maintaining maximum dexterity with hydraulic limbs and a reinforced canopy. However, it is 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 P.R.A.W.N. suit walks along the ocean floor, using thrusters to move vertically.

The P.R.A.W.N. 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 P.R.A.W.N. suit.

A 3D model of the P.R.A.W.N. suit can be found on Sketchfab.

Overview
The P.R.A.W.N. suit requires two power cells to operate. The user is able to dock the P.R.A.W.N. suit into the Cyclops and Moon Pool, in a fashion similar to the Seamoth. The P.R.A.W.N. suit will be used to explore dark and/or deep places. The P.R.A.W.N. suit has a base crush depth of 900 meters.

Upon entering the P.R.A.W.N. suit, the player's Oxygen stores will be replenished, unless the P.R.A.W.N. suit is depleted of Energy. If this is the case, the oxygen will slowly run out, until the point where the player is losing oxygen within the P.R.A.W.N. suit.

The P.R.A.W.N. suit has a health meter that will cause it to explode into fragments should it reach zero. However, unlike the Seamoth, the P.R.A.W.N. 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.

P.R.A.W.N. suit fragments can be found in the Aurora's Prawn Bay, and in various Wrecks.

Alternatively, the P.R.A.W.N. suit can be used on land.

How to Use

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


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

Upgrades and Customization
The P.R.A.W.N. suit can be customized with the Vehicle Modification Station. The console will allow the P.R.A.W.N. suit to be named and its colors to be changed.

Unlike the the Cyclops and Seamoth, the P.R.A.W.N. suit has six upgrade slots as opposed to four. However, two of the slots are strictly for arm upgrades, and can be identified by their purple color.

Data Bank Entry
The Pressure Re-Active Waterproof Nano Suit is a range of mechs designed to protect the pilot from extreme environments. The Mk.III is the latest iteration, and has so far only been rolled out by Alterra for their own high-value, phasegate-related operations.


 * The suit is fully insulated from the outside environment
 * Powerful hydraulic limbs allow for manipulation of objects and powered traversal of the environment
 * Rear-mounted thrusters provide maneuverability in low-gravity environments
 * A range of modifications are available to facilitate resource extraction and enhanced exploration

'P.R.A.W.N. It's got you covered.'

Speculation
A piece of concept art seems to suggest that the P.R.A.W.N. suit will be needed in order to safely cross the Inactive Lava Zone and Lost River. Whether this is due to pressure - as the Inactive Lava Zone is located at a depth of more than 1000 meters - or due to heat is unknown.

Future Plans
The P.R.A.W.N. suit will be used to fight the Sea Dragon Leviathan.

Trivia

 * The former name for the P.R.A.W.N. suit was the Exosuit.
 * The idea for the P.R.A.W.N. suit may be taken from the Exosuit from Natural Selection 2, another game made by Unknown Worlds.
