Prawn on land

[steel carter]

I have been using the Prawn on all land I have visited so far, is that meant to be or a glitch?

it's a mech suit, it's fine

You could go on land in the previous game and using the prawn suit for land exploration makes sense.

Just don'T try to explore the area beyond the bridge with the prawn suit. I don'T think the worms are programmed to handle it well, they'll probably thrash the suit quickly.

With the grappling hooks and jump upgrades it's very easy to launch yourself out of bounds, don't think that's intended but using the mech on land is fine.

They actually won't. They do make damage but you can easily avoid them and repair the suit when its integrity gets too low.

Forget the Snowfox, Prawn is the way. I used the Prawn for all my land exploration and it's way too fast for the snow worms. Never got hit a single time. It also makes the stalkers a non-threat. It's jumping ability also makes it good at platforming and can take you places where you shouldn't be.

Of course not, Snow Prawn for life!

Once I got stuck in my prawnsuit though, because I tried to crawl under something too small to fit through.

i just walked everywhere, sticking to the edges and under stuff seemed to keep the worm away. stalkers are afraid of flares

not glitch you have a ion cube deposit on land in the architect cave

As well as three other ion cube deposits. Also mineral deposits for drill. The prawn is not only allowed, it is required to access many resources.

I recommend building a snowfox and a arctic suit with doggo fur (you can collect it with your spy penguin) but in the mean time the prawn suit is definitely great to have on land, and there are times when you'll need it.

But those big worms can be a real pain in a prawn suit, the foot steps attract them.

as long as you keep moving forward not really imho

I found the prawn suit easier to navigate with in the worm area than the snow fox, really. As pointed out allready, you're definitely supposed to be able to. Both ore deposits only accessible with the prawn mining arm, and on Zero base there's a bunch of prawn suits on land.

It's easy to miss, but do make sure you get the jump mod in the prawn mech bay in Kappa mine. It makes the suit a lot more mobile. (Haven't been able to find the grappling arm though...)

grappling arms fragment are in the cave network of sea monkey nest in the lilipad biome you can find an entrance of the said cave network bottom of the "last known pilot location"

Given that, as others have said, there is a mineable location requiring the suit on land, as well as the animation of the suit squatting down when parked on land, its obviously meant to be usable on land.

It could also be used on land in the first game as well, there just wasn't any reason to do so.
