The Arctic Security Suit is a variation of the normal Security Suit. The suit is obtained for free after starting a New Game+ with a save completed on Zealot difficulty. Judging by the badge on the left armlet, this particular arctic suit is probably used by soldiers on reconnaissance missions in harsh cold environments.
Overview
The suit differs from the normal Security Suit in that the bodysuit is a light grey and the undervest white, while the armor and helmet bear a digital camouflage pattern of grey and dark grey pixels on a white background. The right brassard bears the triple chevron rank insignia of an Army Sergeant, while the left armlet bears the words "ARCTIC RECON" etched on it. On both armlets, there is a skull etched on them reminiscent of the Visceral Games logo.
Trivia
- This suit appears to have been a hint to the setting of Dead Space 3. Its arctic camouflaged pattern hinted toward Tau Volantis's arctic environment, and rank on it is the same as John Carver's rank.
- This suit somewhat resembles the Hostile Environment Suit in Dead Space 3 in function.
- A bug exists within this RIG's equipping animation. Normally, when a suit is put on, Isaac would not have anything equipped, but the damage-boosted Flamethrower, if present in Isaac's inventory, can be seen attached to his right hand and will clip through the suit when Isaac stretches the collar section.
- Also, the Flamethrower will automatically be equipped upon wearing the suit
- This is all likely in reference to The Thing given its arctic setting, a flamethrower being used against its titular monster and its notable influence on the Dead Space series.
- The Suit is referred to as a 'desert' uniform in the game files (most likely due to the fact that the Arctic is a desert itself).
