The Serpent Suit and its upgrade, the Serpent Armor are light armors available with the Alien Hunters DLC.
Description[]
| “ | Constructed from the lightweight and exceptionally durable scales of the Viper King, the Serpent Suit greatly enhances our soldiers' reflexes and speed. It also features a grapple mechanism infused with the Viper King's frigid venom, which can be used to pull enemies out of cover and freeze them in place. | ” |
–In-game build description | ||
The Serpent Suit is a unique armor that provides more health than the Spider Suit, an additional point in mobility, and a massively increased Dodge stat, leading to more graze shots against the wearer that deal less damage.
It shares its ability to Grapple to elevated surfaces with the Spider Suit, along with an ability unique to the armor called Frostbite, which allows the wearer to shoot their grappling hook at an enemy to freeze them. Both of these abilities are free actions, but Frostbite has a limit of one charge per mission.
Vipers who spot a unit wearing the Serpent Suit/Armor may panic.
Only one instance of the Serpent Suit/Armor can be built in a single game, and will be permanently lost if the wearer is killed, and their body not evacuated.
Serpent Armor Upgrade[]
| “ | An enhanced version of the Serpent Suit reinforced with Elerium, this armor maintains all of its predecessor's capabilities while further boosting the survivability, speed, and reflexes of the wearer. | ” |
Upgrading the Serpent Suit to Serpent Armor increases the health given, and increases both the Mobility and Dodge stats to be more on par with the Wraith Suit. This upgrade becomes available after researching Powered Armor.
