Prawn Suit

The P.R.A.W.N. Suit (Pressure Re-Active Waterproof Nanosuit)  (Mk.III), also known as Exosuit, is an unimplemented vehicle.

As the name implies, it is a powered suit of armor, likely designed specifically for deep-sea operations, affording protection to a pilot while maintaining maximum dexterity with hydraulic limbs and a reinforced canopy. However, it is not directly worn, rather is a large frame that can be piloted in a seated position. Unlike the other vehicles of the game, the Exosuit walks along the ocean floor, using thrusters to move vertically.

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

Using the Debug Console Commands, the Exosuit can be spawned into the player's world by entering the command "SPAWN EXOSUIT" or "ITEM EXOSUIT". However, with the experimental mode of the game, the battery is visible floating outside of the Exosuit.

The player is able to dock the Exosuit into the Cyclops and Moon Pool, in a fashion similar to the Seamoth. It also has upgrades similar to the Seamoth, the upgrades are Exosuit Drill Arm, Exosuit Jet Jump Upgrade, and Exosuit Thermal Reactor. The Exosuit will be used to explore dark and/or deep places. The Exosuit has a crush depth of 900 meters.

The Exosuit can be docked to the Cyclops and the Moon Pool, similarly to the Seamoth. However, no docking animation is present, but will be updated in the future.

The Exosuit has a 6x2 storage compartment on the top of it, located at the back. Materials can be picked up from the seabed and be grabbed by the Exosuit, which will transfer it into the storage.

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

Recipe
The Exosuit cannot be crafted at the moment, as it has not been fully implemented yet, but the recipe seems to be the following:

Upgrades and Customization
The Exosuit can be customized with the Seamoth Modification Station. The console allows the Exosuit to be named and its colors to be changed. However, changing the color and name currently does not affect the Exosuit.

Future Plans
The Exosuit will be used to fight the Sea Dragon Leviathan. More Exosuit Upgrades will be added, such as a propulsion cannon arm and a torpedo arm. The Exosuit will be used to drill rocks for resources.

Speculation
An artwork published by the developers suggests that the Exosuit 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.

Early animations for the Exosuit can be viewed here.

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
